While Mitt Romney continues to discredit the entire Republican Party by disenchanting voters through his nonstop barrage of attack ads, it's nice to be reminded that there's still a candidate in the race that gets it. And that candidate is Newt Gingrich. Newt was destroyed in Florida and he hurt himself by fighting back with attack ads. Yes, there was a smear machine against Newt that even included the Drudge Report and it has stifled his candidacy. But with Romney attacking the new frontrunner Rick Santorum, there's a chance for another shuffling of the cards. It could very well leave an opening for Gingrich, who continues to show he's head and shoulders above the other candidates when it comes to policy. And his latest speech is further validity that Newt gets it and can fix the problems.
During a speech over the weekend at Oral Roberts University, Gingrich hit home the message that Barack Hussein Obama is the most dangerous President in modern American history. And he's absolutely correct. Obama is so focused on his extreme liberal ideology that he's putting America in danger. Gingrich is right: defeating Barack Obama is a duty of national security.
The president wants to unilaterally weaken the United States. He wants to cut the aid to Israel for its anti-ballistic missile defense. He refuses to take Iran seriously. We are in a world that is very dangerous. And I say this to those of you who represent the next generation because you’re going to bear the consequences. We are really at risk someday in your lifetime of losing an American city.
So, defeating Barack Obama becomes, in fact, a duty of national security because the fact is that he is incapable of defending the United States.
Newt hits it home; he gets it. While Romney is on a mission to destroy his competition so that he doesn't get exposed as the liberal Republican he is, it's nice to see that Newt is back on message attacking President Obama. And he's right: Barack Obama is the most radical president in American history.
