He needs to focus his argument on the idea, that for Obama, words have no meaning.

There was a group that wanted to revisit Obama’s past associations, including Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the radical Marxist preacher whose church Obama sat in for 20 years, and now claims was pressured to stay quiet about Obama. Mitt Romney, Speaker of the House John Boehner, and many other GOP establishment leaders have chastised those who would talk about Wright.

On his Thursday radio show, Levin suggested highlighting Rev.

It was the harshest critique Gingrich has leveled to date and may be a reflection of his slackened showing in the polls.
