Subscribe to RSSTULSA, Okla. -- Newt Gingrich said Monday a Republican win in November is "a duty of national security," taking his attack on President Barack Obama a step further on the day the country celebrates Presidents Day.
"Defeating Barack Obama becomes, in fact, a duty of national security," Gingrich told a crowd of about 4,000 people on the campus of Oral Roberts University. "Because the fact is, he is incapable of defending the United States."
Gingrich, who frequently refers to Obama as the "the most dangerous president in modern American history," again said the country is at risk "someday in your lifetime of losing an American city" from a terrorist attack.
The former House speaker, who wears a pin with the flag of George Washington on his lapel to remind him of the meaning of being commander-in-chief, was especially harsh on the Obama administration’s policies towards Iran and Israel.

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich speaks during a town hall at Oral Roberts University on Monday.
Obama, Gingrich said on his first day in Oklahoma, "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."
The rally at ORU started just a couple hours after the White House announced that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would meet with Obama early next month.
Gingrich noted, “No American can second-guess an Israeli prime minister on the matter of survival,” and said his message to the Iranians would be simple.
"You need to stop your (nuclear) program before you get hit because you should be under no illusions, if you refuse to stop your program, long before it is completed you are going to get hit and we are not in any way going to stop the Israelis from defending themselves,’” he said.

"Why do people take such an instant dislike to me?" asked a perplexed Newt Gingrich, to whom Bob Dole bluntly explained: "Because it saves them time."
And, here's a genuine quote from GHWB about Dole back when they were competing for the GOP nomination.
bush-sr said, "Dole is too much of a commoner to be President of the United States"....(GHWB actually thinks himself to be blue-blood royalty)....
And, you can bet that GHWB is knee-deep in the GOP-establishment of elitists who actually select their nominee and they already picked their chump-of-the--month -- howdy-doody romney..
But.... the king's choice ain't selling well..., so, donot be too surprised if kkkarl throws jeb-boy's hat into the 3-ring GO clown circus...
LAMO
Say, republicans, conservatives and teabaggers?
Don't pay any attention to the people that say you should be "working to achieve compromise" or "helping America" or "solving America's problems." You just keep on doing what you've been doing: refusing to cooperate or compromise with Democrats or the president.
Don't worry about causing harm to America or Americans. It's all for the greater good, right?
Also, keep working to make President Obama a one-term president.
Engage in nothing else except trivial and nonessential matters.
America will love you and vote for all of you.
Trust me, this plan will work for you.
Fear! War! We're going to be overrun by the hoardes! Declare another unfunded war to spread democracy! Last time I checked, Mr. Obama was doing pretty darned well against the terrorist threat, and let me tell you, I'm not too anxious to get into another trillion dollar conflict. F'n idiot.
santorum, romeny, grinch, etc... all CLEARLY desperate low-lives, scratching themselves at the bottom of the T-goper barrel.
Do not put it past the wall-street corrupted, and eltist managed, TREASONOUS GOP to do some thing treasonous to help or foster an act of terrorism on our soil, and then try to blame it on President Obama....
We're already seeing the pricing of gasoline skyrocketing -- all the GOP had to do was ask their zionist-buddy netanyahu to start rattling his foul, LYING, mouth and threaten to attack Iran -- on what all of Europe knows to be a typical zionist-netanyahu LIE... then, those nice zionist-wall-street traders -- and, bum-badda bing, the gasoline opportunistically flies to $4/gallon... and immediately -- the treasonous, TWO-FACED, GOP leadership, TRIES to blame President Obama... just read the kkkarl rover ppaid-shill postings... pathetic.
But... it was okay with the COMPLETELY corrupted neocon GOP for the bush-idiot to not even consider terrorism as a priorty when he took office, and also okay with them when bush-moron stated he didn't care about getting Bin Laden anymore...
But, now we have the grinch, santorum and howdy-doody romney spouting out their desperate, vile accusations, outrageous lies, and just plain pig-swill -- what else can we expect from that lowest of the low grinch-low-life -- only two-faced -- utter desperation.
Oh, I cannot wait for November to send all this GOP-swill down the pipe....
GOP = Gestapo On Parade = wall-street owned and elitist managed TREASONOUS CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!!
Sorry, Newt. President Obama is going to be reelected.
All of you republicans, conservatives and teabaggers should just go hide under your beds for the next five years.
Try not to pee on yourselves this time.
.......and as they listened, the man known as The Historian rewrote every page and every chapter from their collective minds and filled the blank pages with distortions, fabrications and patriotic hyperbole. And the people cheered because it felt good.
Yeah, and a full diaper probably feels pretty good too, for about ninety seconds. Ask any infant.
yeah, been there, done that. Remember bush jr and the imminent mushroom cloud?
"Gas prices are high because of Iran" pure B.S. we have plenty oil here in our own country
"Unemployment rate has declined" pure B.S. forgot to mention the fact that millions of peoples' claims expired. the real rate would be over 12%
15 million people either on unemployment or have exhausted their claims, now are trying to receive disability.
11 million people now on disability
Obamas stimulus- failure
Acorn - failure
Solandra - White House won't release the documents to investigators
Obamacare - joke
The list goes on and on, 4 more years of Obama, no thanks
Let's not forget obama and holder selling guns to the drug cartel and the death of Officer Terry!!!!
GOP shills: make for -- well, mediocre --amusment!
LMAO
The list goes on and on of lies that you represent as factual - nice try TROLL!
WTF does anyone with common sense think that ANY U.S President controls gasoline prices? Oh, and speaking of national security, who was it who caught Osama bin Laden? It wasn't Bush.
Iria for your information, we have enough oil in this country to last 100 years. I wonder why in a time when the economy is hurting your buddy Obama does not use it when people need it most. Bin ladens days were numbered either way, who do you think developed the seal team that got him? It was not your buddy Obama, those guys have been in training way b4 he was even elected
busted for brain-lapse..
pssst, the bush-idiot dismantled the entire team of units assigned solely to persue bin laden, the bush-idiot completely GAVE UP!!!...
Forget that, did you?
Far too many wild mushrooms in your diet,... give it a rest, already.
LMAO
Newt's trying to annoy people into paying attention to him.. I wonder what web-sites he trolls on
Newt does even know what a computer is. I'm sure for safety reasons, they give him a small chalkboard and White chalk only.
Republican play ###-@@@-&&&. Straight out of their playbook. Use fear and fill in ab-lib style. Caution, Republicans thinking! Enter this article and comment area at your own risk.
That is our President he's referring to right? I mean the one who killed Bin Laden (who Bush couldn't find if he held up a HERE I AM sign) right? The one who has killed more terrorist than Bush even knew existed? The one who rescued the hostage in the hands of Somali pirates? The one getting us out of Irag (who bush went after even though they had nothing to do with 9/11 and no WMDs)? The one who is getting us out of the quagmire of debt that Bush put us in? The One who is cementing ties with our allies who relationship Bush destroyed? This is coming from the guy who was censured and forced to resignin disgrace from a GOP controlled congress for ethics violations at a time when he was trying to crucify Clinton who had gotten us out of debt? The guy who lied to the country while he cheated on 3 wives? I want to try some of whatever drugs this guy is on.
Folks it's pretty simple..the GOP's plan to fix this country is basically...cut taxes even further for the richest americans and corporations, increase defense spending (which is already more than the rest of the world combined..how much defense spending does Newt need to defend America anyway?) all while cutting Medicare and Social Security. If you vote Republican..that's what you're basically going to get.
It's clear that fool (Gingrich) will say *anything* to try and cow the sheeple into submission. It's pathetic. And it's transparent. Even more pointed, it doesn't work.
Conservatives lose on national security issues
Conservatives lose on economic issues
Conservatives lose on foreign policy issues
Conservatives lose on religious issues
Conservatives lose on domestic issues
No matter how much paint they use now or who they pull into the race, it don't cover up incompetence & dishonesty
Sorry teabaggers, conservatives and republicans. President Obama is going to be reelected.
Your impotent and bitter rage is quite amusing, though.
Keep it up!
This reasoning by old PORKY PIG NEWT is one of the reasons he will not be the candidate. He like most GOP politicians have an aversion to serving/protecting in the defense of this Country.
eh,, What's up doc? Don't go dragging Porky into this, he was a union brother & was smarter than Newt
OUR PRESIDENT:
1. Got Osama bin laden...check
2. Unemployment rate 8.5%...check.
3. 1.6 million jobs created with no GOP help...check
4. 22 months of job and economic growth with no help...check
5. Ended war in Iraq ...check
6. DADT repeal...check
7. Not one tax hike in 3 years....check
8. Brought out of racism in the Gop...check
9. Still carry 80% of the black vote...check
10. Same wife for 15 years with no extra marital affairs...check
11. Save auto industry and 1.5 million jobs.. check
12. Assisted in ousting Khaddafi...check
13. Only active President to receive Nobel Peace prize while in office.
14. Mortgage modification to prevent home owners from losing their home.
15. STILL fighting for middle class families.
16. Reform Affordable healthcare.... check
Despite what the GOP would have you believe the President has been doing these things and more by himself.
Obama 2012
Sorry, republicans, conservatives and teabaggers. None of your "leaders" have a chance at the presidency.
President Obama has another term to serve.
Try again in 2016.
Or maybe 2024.
Republicans, aren't you embarrassed by these clowns who represent you? I feel bad for you all having to raise up and defend Gingrich, Santorum or Romney. But you do! I'd just write off this election if I was a Republican.
Yeah, let's reelect the Republicans so we can justify war by chasing the Bin Ladens of the world around for years instead of getting the job DONE!!
Defeating Gingrich (a.k.a. the Keebler Elf) is a duty of national sanity.
As President Obama's certain reelection gets closer, I expect more and more republicans/teabaggers to become unhinged and attack President Obama and his family for the most trivial of matters.
It will be hard to believe that it's possible, but republicans/teabaggers will sink far lower and be far more despicable and vile than they have so far.
Listen to all the GOP & Teabaggers R the party of No: No & Newt: that wants to go to the moon. & Mitt: sending his money off shore, so he doesn't have to pay Taxes.T Its all about the Wealthy getting richer and the middle class getting poorer.....They don't want to help out the poor, I do mean the poor not the lazy good for nothings...Who are the one's that leach off the taxpayer. They: are the Wealthy that get welfare both for themselves or for the Corps.TRUE So really All party are at fault...But it seems that the Wealthy get away with it like the .(.Democrat )... They steal billions and the few poor steals a few thousands. So what does the GOP want to do is Screw the MIddle Class to get even with the few. As I say its the me me me and F everyone else.... The failures of the Republicans party trying to take away SS and Medicare so they can give their wealthy Blackmailers more money... To hell with the Poor and Needy. Let them freeze in the winter and stave the Old and Babies,let them die from bad water, do away with the EPA and thats what you'll have, just like all you Teabaggers want...You make me sick with your Me Me Me altitude. It just a matter of time before the masses raise up against you . Greedy and you all call yourself Christains.Christains: What a laugh: Your no better than all the Muslims you all hate. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WAKE UP. We R Next in line...Stop the crooked Banks and Wall Street.
Does anyone with half a brain really care what Gingrich, Santorum and Romney have to say about the United States being less safe with Obama as President? Sorry to say only those with half a brain actually believe that poppycock.
Well, that describes most republicans, and ALL teabaggers.
Sadly there are a lot of people with half a brain here in a conservative Eastern Washington State. Ones that want "other people" to lose entitlements but want the government to keep their hands off Medicare that pays out more to them than they paid in. I don't know how they can be so hypocritcal. Newt is a historian that did not have to write anything.
