HOCKESSIN, Del. -- Marking the first presidential candidate visit to Delaware this cycle, Newt Gingrich criticized President Obama’s comments to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as “alarming behavior.”
“This is a president who is amazingly destructive of American interests,” Gingrich said inside firehouse here. “He promises the Russian president as soon as he gets the election out of the way, he'll sell out the American missile defense system. They need to give him a little ‘space’ so he can be flexible right after the election.”
Gingrich, who spoke before a county-level Republican meeting on Monday evening, focused his roughly 40-minute speech on energy – a theme he hopes will carry him to a comeback in the race.
“I believe you can develop a Republican campaign that despite a billion dollars in Obama money, despite the bias of the elite media, despite the power of the incumbent presidency,” he said. “You can defeat him by picking your fights carefully and sticking to them.”
Monday’s event, held in a state that doesn’t vote for another three weeks, also seemed to signal a new phase in the campaign. Event attendees were allowed to take pictures with the candidate for $50 per photo. Before tonight, supporters took photos with Gingrich for free.
Charging for photos, in addition to news that the campaign canceled a trip to North Carolina, contributes to the narrative that Gingrich is struggling to stay afloat financially.
But, Gingrich continues to vow to stay in the race even until Delaware votes on April 24th.
“It would mean a whole lot and I do think if we win Delaware it helps reset this campaign for the ninth or tenth time. This has been the wildest roller coaster I have ever seen,” Gingrich said, speaking to hundreds. “You can make history here in Delaware and both Callista and I will be back regularly for the next few weeks because we do need your help and we do want your support.”

Will that interfere with your "moon colony"??
It worked so well in first war with Saddam did it not.
Did not hit one SCUD Missle !!!
A bullet trying to hit another bullet in flight.
Sounds stupid and U.S. Military bought it.
Not that it would work, but more money in kick-backs to Kernels, Ginralls and such.
I can take a picture next to a turd for free. Why pay $50?
Was that when you were standing next to Obama, the Prince of Pond Scum?
I guess at this point in the race old newt don't have nothing else left, so he charge 50$ for pictures that should be placed on a dart board, and he tries to criticize the President, you got to be kidding. Where do right wingers find these people?
I'm unclear how this bozo translated the President's comment into selling out the missle defense system. This has been in the works since the Bush administration and there's no way it's not going to happen. That would be damaging to our European allies... All these agreements have been in place for years and the Russians will continue to whine about it.
As far as photos-for-money well, look who we're talking about...
The only candidate maintaining decorum is Romney.
The only thing rumney is maintaining is them lies he's telling. He lie so much it's pathetic.....and so is he.
Conservatives are nothing more than professional beggars, they learned it from their televangelist friends.
Why would someone pay $50 for a pic of Gingrich when they can sit for free and watch Obama destroy the country?
Besides, Obama charge $35,000 for dinner. That one is just fine.....
Prices are set by the market. If someone will pay $35K for a dinner, then that's what the market will bear. And let's face it. The people who would pay $35K for a dinner are the same kind of people who would pay $400 dollars at a posh salon for the same haircut they could get for $10 at a barber shop. It's the "too much money and not enough brains" crowd.
If Newt could get $35K for a picture, do you think he'd turn it down?
No one will pay to eat dinner with Gingrich. They all do this. Its called fund raising. Repubs have more Super Pacs with donars that dont want anyone to know who they are
Hope it's not a scratch and sniff kind of picture.
Now we get to the real reason this Womanizing Fat Slob ran is running for office. Money to buy his Stepford Wife more jewelry at Tiffany's!!!!!1
Quit covering this Huck of Blubber!!
It was always about the money, higher speaking fees, sell those books and now money for photos all while our tax dollars are paying for his security. After this election, if we are lucky, he will fade into the woodwork and we won't hear from him again, but I would not bet on it. He wants to be Sec of State. LOL
Tell Comrade Boris that after the election, I will give him our Nuke codes. And defense plans. I have to act strong and powerful until I buxxsxit the Dems this next election. Did you see me with the Red Bonoculars looking into the DMZ a few days ago? I sure looked strong on defense! Barricks Obama
I hope that he at least had his clothes on. Nobody needs to see a picture of the Newtster standing around in his leopard-skin print bikini briefs! Kind of looks like Homer except with hair, doesn't he?
There's an image you won't get out of your mind easily.
Your welcome.
Don't the S.O.B. have enough money he charges $50 a photo....WTF!
Big D, do you think Barak would LOWER himself to allow YOU to take a picture with him for only $50.00?
Back in June, President Barack Obama hosted a $35,800 per person dinner with hedge funders at Daniel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. That’s a $5,000 PRICE HIKE from the fundraiser he held at the Red Rooster in Harlem back in March for $30,800.
"HE who should NOT be criticized" accepts BIG MONEY in private from the very Same "Fat Cats" he attacks publicly. You Obamabots are sooooo stuuuuupid it's amazing.
I wonder why I was the only major leader to show up at the staged get together on nukes in Korea? I have to talk to those boys at "Team Obama" to at least get someone of importance to show up at my Korean Vacation re-election party! Next stop, Vacation south America. "Big Traveler Obama"
If you pay the $50, do you have to supply your own wide angle lens?
Somebody actually pays the $50? Pathetic.
$50 for a dart board isn't all that bad.
$50 for a photo with Newt...
$5 for a naked photo of Calista...
Another MSNBC front page headline denegrating a Republican candidate....but Obama has done exactly the same thing: selling photos and even selling a private dinner with him and Michelle.
More biased tripe from MSNBC.
Nevada, DG, Gregg & dune, ....do you think Barak would LOWER himself to allow YOU to take a picture with him for only $50.00?

I think you are selling yourself way short....your post demonstrates none of us have anything on you when comes to being "stuuuuuuupid".....
Only a fool would try to single out Obama for having high priced fund raisers - the GOP doesn't have to many $10 all you can eat fund raisers...
Besides - Gingrich had his picture taken with the Adelsons and got what - $10-20 million dollars?
It was a nice attempt - but its effect fell welll short of what you were hoping for...
b dune..... were you hoping I wouldn't point out YOUR Hypocricy?
ssmthlog
geez - why would you? you started the whole "hypocrisy issue" yourself by trying to insinuate Obamas big dollar a plate fund raisers were something he only he does!
so, you bring up hypocrisy - now wear the hat!
somehow you drug me into your conversation wtih Nevada, Gregg, DG.....when all I said was "$5 for naked pictures of Calsita"...
Hell, I never mentioned anything about selling pictures being good or bad...seems you just couldn't stop yourself from "grouping"...a common trait of the right!
Requiring money for a photo op should get all those undecided people flocking to Newty Fruity. This guy thinks he can solve national problems! Amazing.
So you drones vote for people that CAN'T solve national problems? UNBELIEVABLE.
NOBAMA2012, the End of an ERROR
Considering People out here think democratic socalist are all Lazy and incompitant,I would like to announce the release of my new book,Though Im not trying to affend any grossly profiteering capitalist.Im calling it."We The Peoples Guide to Government ownership for Victomized Americans" (I was gonna call it For Dummies.

Newt the hyperbolic king, alarming behavior, amazingly destructive, what's amazing is you still think your relevant, and have anything more to add to the GOP clown show, oh wait got more books and cd's to hock!
Between newt and saintorum, I have never been more entertained. I thought the Big Bang Theory was funny till I started watching these two clowns. Its a shame their female lead, bachman dropped out. Her crazy eyes were a hoot to watch.
