Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Newsmax TVs Americas Forum talk show this week to weigh in on Republican victories in the midterm elections.
After host J.D. Hayworth, a former Arizona congressman, asked Gingrich how he as a historian sees Obama, Gingrich predictably launched into a tirade against President Obamas policies, particularly the Affordable Care Act, and what he sees as the impending failure of the Democrats in the next election cycle. Gingrich blamed President Obamas supposed mishandling of issues like Ebola and ISIS on the fact that the president is both radical and incompetent.
I think he is the most radical president in American history. But what makes it fascinating is he is incompetent and radical, he said. Youre really running a big risk if youre both incompetent and radical. I think in a lot of ways youre seeing someone who is in over his head.
His gross incompetence, Gingrich explains, is why Obama goes and golfs because that way at least he doesnt have to think about it. So, just as Obama is simultaneously a feeble, apathetic leader and a power-hungry dictator, he is brazenly implementing his radical policies while also so painfully incompetent that he cant effectively implement those policies.
