Obama Like a "Teenager with a Credit Card"
Posted by Jaywon Choe 298 comments Share E-mail Print Font
Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich criticized President Obama this morning on NBC's "Today," likening the president's approach to the economy and unemployment to that of a "teenager with a credit card."


Gingrich issued the barb in response to Mr. Obama's comments yesterday criticizing Republicans for opposing a bill extending benefits for the unemployed. Gingrich said the bill would do little for job creation and complained its $33 billion price tag would simply add to an already inflated deficit.


"The second biggest concern of the American people after jobs is deficit spending," Gingrich said.


He added: "The president's very shallow politics [is] assuming the American people are dumb enough to follow the latest headline and don't realize the real problem with unemployment is, this is a job killing administration and a job killing Democratic Congress and that's why those people are unemployed."


Gingrich's harsh assessment of the administration will add to speculation that he may seek the Republican nomination in the 2012 presidential elections. Gingrich has already said that's he's "never been this serious" about a bid, though he made similar claims in the 2008 cycle and declined to run.


In the interview, Gingrich was asked how he would approach the deficit if he were elected president.


"I would start and I'd go through this budget pretty dramatically, and I would eliminate a great deal of federal bureaucracy," he said. "I would reform unemployment compensation. I would reform workman's comp at the state level. I would have a very pro jobs, very pro savings, very pro take-home pay policy."

He continued: "We proved with Reagan, with the three-year tax cuts in the 1980s, we proved again with the Contract with America, the first tax cut in 16 years that, in fact, job creating principles of cutting taxes are far better than job killing principles of big government and regulation."

The card was maxed out a long time ago. The next step will be for the bank to ask for it to be sent back, cut in little pieces.

I'm not sure the point of no return hasn't been reached.

OMG I hope Newt Gringich doesn't run for president! I could never vote for him. I lost all respect for him back when he was Speaker. About 60 days into Clinton's presidency, there was a bad copter crash in the "no fly zone" in Iraq and Newtie's fat @ass was in front of the podium at the news conference the very next day, relating the crash to Clinton's military budget cuts. That slimebucket used a tragedy like that and the loss of those young American lives for political gain trying to one-up the Dems. No, thanks, that's not the caliber of person who deserves the White House.

I would like to see somebody come out of the private sector or the military and run for president. Somebody with guts and brains and who doens't owe anybody in Washington DC anything. Too many career politicians have gotten us into the mess we have today.

Just my opinion, I'll guarantee it's worth what you paid for it!

No, Colin Powell is still a Washington" insider". I honestly don't have anybody in mind, I just keep hoping for some fresh blood to enter the fray so I don't feel like I am voting for the lesser of two evils.
