Newt Gingrich: Obama bullying House GOP

[IDemo]

President Barack Obama is attempting to “bully” House Republicans over the debt ceiling, and the GOP should seek a different fight, Newt Gingrich said on Tuesday.

“This president is deliberately seeking confrontation,” Gingrich, a 2008 presidential hopeful, said on CBS’s “CBS This morning.” “I think he’s going out of his way to bully the House Republicans.”

Gingrich said that instead of getting bogged down in a battle over raising the debt ceiling, House Republicans should find leverage by turning to continuing resolutions and the sequester.

“Asking Barack Obama not to be a big-spending, high-taxing liberal is a denial of everything we’ve learned about him in his career,” Gingrich said. “It’s much better for the House Republicans to say, ‘This is what we’re prepared to do: we’ll pass a year-long continuing resolution for national security…There are dozens of places you can dramatically change spending without having to get involved in a general crisis over the U.S. debt.”

4. Just like his 'Please proceed, Governor' remark during the debate.

This is his 'Please proceed' moment with congress daring them to kill their hostage.


And the dumb asses are walking right into it. Again.

“Asking Newt Gingrich not to be a demagoging fat fuckbag is a denial of everything we’ve learned about him in his career,” Londonreign said.
