Newt Gingrich knows how to play to the base.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday, the GOP presidential hopeful said that, if elected, he would wipe out much of President Obama's legacy on his very first day in office.

He said that "by the time President Obama lands in Chicago we will have repudiated at least 40 percent of his government on the opening day."

"For the Republican establishment, managing the decay is preferable to changing the trajectory," he said. "This is the year to reset this country in a decisive, bold way. We are determined to rebuild America, not manage its decay."
Gingrich aligned himself the Tea Party and Ronald Reagan, which he said represented the "conservative movement" versus the "Republican establishment."
The Republican establishment, he said, doesn't "have the toughness, they don't have the commitment, and they don't have the philosophy necessary to build a majority in this country."

We complain about the imperial Presidency and then we are supposed to act as if we want it for our team?
The next President doesn’t have the power to cancel laws that were passed by Congress unilaterally.
If you listen to the speech, he was referring to Obama’s Czars. THEN congress goes into session to repeal ObamaCare, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc.
Getting rid of the czars is not 40% of the damage, as was advertised.
Listen to the speech.
I was curious about your question so I did a quick google search and found this, it may answer your question.

Red meat for the masses. Unrealistic expectations. How does he expect to do that with a Congress that has largely sat silent the whole time allowing Obama to get away with 100 percent of what Newt wants to roll back?
This Senate won’t repeal Obamacare and Sarbanes-Oxley, nor will the next one.
Oh and lets not forget that most of the GOP in the House voted for the NDAA. Repealing that will be as difficult as repealing Roe v. Wade because both are the law of the land. Obama said he won’t use it to imprison Americans without trial. If he can lie to the Catholic Bishops, he’ll lie to Congress and the American people. This man should have been impeached within the first 100 days of his administration.
I did listen to the speech. It’s the same boilerplate he’s been saying for months.

Very good!
If Gingrich undid this one act, that would make his presidency a historical one.
Are you used to a candidate that changes it's position?
Newt has to be elected first and then as he states in his speeches, we, the people have to insist and drive the representatives in doing the things that we want. With the right person, you will at least get some good things done soon in. Once the people are excited to see new changes are coming, our voices will be powerful. DC is corrupt with lobbyists. I salute the man for fighting this corrupt system. No wonder they are afraid of him. He can only do so much on the outside for now.
