DOVER, DE -- Given the opportunity to work in Mitt Romney’s cabinet, Newt Gingrich says he would pass.
Asked by a radio host inside a small diner whether he would work for a Romney administration if given the opportunity, Gingrich answered “probably not” but “not because I am opposed to Mitt.”
“Look, if the choice does end up being Romney versus Obama, I can be very, very enthusiastic for Romney, that is a huge choice. But I had a very good life doing a lot of fun things,” the former House speaker said. “I am very happy to be an adviser. I did a lot of that in the Bush administration both on health care and national security.”
Romney seems to have all but sealed the nomination – he still has not reached the 1,144 delegate count threshold – but Gingrich says he has more explaining to do.
“I’m making the case for a very ideas-oriented, solutions-oriented kind of conservatism, and I think Romney is going to have to explain a lot more of what he would actually do as president,” he said.
Gingrich also leveled sharp charges toward President Obama as well at the Hollywood Diner, where he was interviewed on Elliott in the Morning radio show.
“The thing that Obama does that’s fascinating is,” Gingrich said. “On one hand he has all the instincts of a Chicago machine politician. On the other hand he has all the fantasies of a good college faculty member.”
And the media was mixed in as well – an institution Gingrich claims is Obama’s “enabler.”
“The elite news media gets up every morning thinking how do we protect this guy because he’s so wonderful that even if he’s totally destructive he’s destructive in such a fun way that we really like keeping here there, and how do we protect him from himself, because after all it’s not his fault that he’s crippling the economy, bankrupting the nation, and doing a series of weird things, because we know he really means well,” he said.
Gingrich will continue to campaigning heavily in both Delaware, where voters take to the polls on April 24, and North Carolina, votes on May 8, because he believes wins there may get him back in the game – keeping alive the dream of debating Obama one-on-one this fall.

That's a no brainer! lol
Newt would make a fabulous 'court jester' if the opportunity presented itself!
Good morning, Feisty
That's a no brainer! lol
Newt would make a fabulous 'court jester' if the opportunity presented itself!
Indeed, Apart from Father Rick Santorum there is no bigger fool. Noot is a liar. he aid he was dropping out of the campaign and didn't.
Of, course, everyone should know by now Willard "Myth' Romney is a bigger liar. he got busted lying about women's jobs record.
Obama 2012
Speaks volumes about the man.
In other words: "If I can't win then I don't want to play".
Any person in my opinion that wants to become president of the U.S. should be doing so because they have a passion about doing everything they possibly can to make this country the best it can be.
If that same person fails to get the opportunity to become the president, he would posses the same passion to serve the country from another position, such as a cabinet position to continue the effort to make America as great as possible.
A perfect recent example is Hillary Clinton. She didn't win the nomination but she accepted a very important position that still allows her to serve the country.
Yeah! Newt for Secretary of Treasury...bankruptcies & hot checks.
Yeah! Newt for Secretary of State......blow hard
Yeah! Newt for Outreach with Tiffany...bling, bling
My Bev, you have a problem with Catholics, don't you? Father Rick, come on there girl.
Next you will be saying that the church raises alter boys and Nuns for the sexual gratification of the priests.
Oh, that's right, you did say that didn't you?
Newt already writes scads of bad fiction. He'd make a great press secretary for the Etch A Sketch guy.
I think the nearly 11,000 child victims of abuse by catholic priests who were sexually assaulted between 1950 through 2002 just in the US have a much bigger problem with the church than Bev does, whiney. In Ireland the government estimates that, in some parishes, the number of children who were not molested are in the minority. It would appear that Bev is correct and you are merely trying to ignore some cold, hard, vicious facts. As usual. But that is what makes you such a good Republican, right, whiney?
He would make even a better secretary of state, his knowledge of world history, politics, and past mistakes would make him a much sought after person. Romney now has the nomination, he beat out all others, it is going to be a classic mud slinging,down in the dirt campaign, the democrats will not go easily into the night.
saxon: you are probably correct, but the question is, what position will Mitt Romney take..... and for how long until he changes his position ?
His knowledge of history is about equal to a guy who has watched the History Channel every day has. He probably knows more about UFO's than the Ming dynasty. His skewed sense of history is apparent in the garbage he writes.
Sailcat,
The issue was not what is happening in Ireland, it was directed at Bev personally.
You don't find issue with her run-away comments from out in righgt field?
I guess Bev must be one of those closet Black Muslims, or perhaps just a bigot with a runaway mouth.
Who would vote for any politician not willing to serve his country if asked? What a fraud.
Whiney, I bet you don't get a lot of eye contact when you are out in public, do you?
Well, I’m shocked . . . NOT!
The 2012 Republican campaign effort is really an exercise in futility as Mitt will never win the election, ergo, no cabinet position offer will be made to Newt!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!
Well Newt -- there's NOT going to be a Romney cabinet so don't worry about it. But Newt -- no president -- Republican or Democrat would want you. I know this is a blow to you massive ego Newt but almost NOBODY can stand you. You're a wanna-be, has been, never was. You're last century's news. You FAILED as a college professor, you FAILED as a historian, you FAILED as speaker, you FAILED as a husband and father and you FAILED as a presidential candidate. The best you can hope for is going back to a gig at Fox.
Can you spell preemptive?
It's easy to say you're not going to do something if you are never going to have the opportunity to do it in the first place. What a idiot and tea people Koch republicans actually voted for this twit.
Newt - you chances of any president -- Republican or Democrat asking you to be in their cabinet are just about the same as Augusta National asking me to play in next year's Masters.
This full of himself puffed up 'historian' should wait til he's asked, though I doubt that would happen. He might have to work for the money, he will make more shilling his books and DVDs
Newt needs to check his expiration date in politics....way past the time for him to go.
Yeah like fleecing the neocon lemmings out of their money. Yep, why get a job that requires protocol and procedures...
How about your fearless leader who has cost the taxpayers trillions with nothing to show for it except more debt, no jobs, terrible gas prices, more homeless, and no hope and change? Don't you progressive left wing losers ever get the message. How bad does it have to get under the inexperienced teleprompter guru? You people would vote again for the same loser no matter what because you can never see anything except your ego. Get a life and hope for the hope and change you never got. All got was the shaft.
muaythai --- facts clowns like you hate --
What is the "elite" news media Newt? Is he using elite in place of liberal bias?
“The elite news media gets up every morning thinking how do we protect this guy because he’s so wonderful that even if he’s totally destructive he’s destructive in such a fun way that we really like keeping here there"
If that were true, they'd be writing about Vice-President Palin this morning. Or at the very least, Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain would still be in this year's race.
I was always under the impression that the news media - on both sides and what little if any is left of the unbiased middle - actually gets up every morning thinking "How do we sensationalize stuff and pounce on gaffes and quotes taken out of context and manufacture conflicts and do anything else that'll help us increase our ratings?"
According to recent studies, the elite media gets up every day trying to handicap one of the most likeable and successful Presidents we have ever had, perhaps to give the Republicans a fighting chance?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/10/gop-gets-more-positive-press-than-obama-pew-study-finds/
Likeable in what way? He makes most people' skin crawl every time he speaks. Talk about a guy who says one thing and does the opposite. Holy cow if that makes you feel good, I'd imagine or bet it doesn't take too much to float your boat, eh? This guy is a Poser.
Obama can be proud of his record. Just look at the Auto industery return, stock market better, bin ladin taken out, dictators taken down with no boots on the ground, war ended, Jobs in America inproving. Robert I bet you would rather see America go down then admit Obama has done a good job in a difficult situation
@Amy
I'm more curious about the "successful" then the likable. In what way has he been successful? You must be insane. Has Obama fixed Medicare or Social Security? Forget enemies like China, North Korea, Iran, etc... Medicare and Social Security will bankrupt this country without any of those countries lifting a finger.
More money to be made in the private sector than in government. Also none of those nasty financial disclosure's to worry about - or ethics.
We didn't want you working for us anyway.
Like anyone is going to ask Newt to be in their cabinet.
Driving his company into bankruptcy is just showing what he would do to our country if he or any other republicans get the chance.
The republicans passing the person-hood amendment in Ohio is to let women know they don't have a war on women but just on her freedom and her personal choices about her own body.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM.....VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Vote for America's freedom.....vote for anyone but Obama/Biden 2012
Vote for lies......... vote tea people Koch republican.
If you failed to learn about slavery in school please stand by. Under Obama and his policies you will get a chance to live it!
Wow. All these righties making crazy, extreme, out-in-left-field remarks.
Please, oh please steve- tell us how President Obama and his policies will bring us to live in slavery.
Pretty please. I really want to hear the opinion that FoxNews gave you.
Gingrich has been the favorite target of the media since day one. While tons of cyber ink is spent deriding and derailing his campaign, rarely a drop was ever spent detailing his positions and points.
Of course, Newt brought much of this on himself by stating openly that he would not debate Obama under media moderation and often referring to the elitist media corporates as being the purveyors of designer public opinion.
So, they gave him back as much love as he offered.
Gingrich won't have a cabinet post under a Romney administration for two reasons.
First Romney won't be president.
Secondly, even if Romney by some miracle did win, Newt wouldn't be asked.
The arrogance of this man is astounding.
The secret is now out---Newt headed up the hunt for Osama bin Laden for the Bush administration. Sadly, he was not located at Tiffany's so Newt went back to shilling his books, tapes, etc.
Did Romney even ask Newt - what is he attempting? To preempt a rejection?
Leave it to Newt the try to get in the last word.
No one in the GOP wants you around Newt. Get the hint.
How come conservatives keep whining about the "elite" media when there is now just as much conservative pandering in the media as liberal...
so the liberal have their "news" stations and the conservative have their "news" stations... all of it sucks and I'm left wondering what happen to real journalism.
stop whining.
My guess is Mitt would not ask Newt to be on his team....after all Newt has a record for being erratic.....
Newt needs to show some sense....he needs to withdraw and support Mitt....after all he should be smart enough to know that the important thing is to send "The O bl mmr s" packing....back to the cesspool call Chicago.
Not to worry, Newton, You won't be asked!
Would youserve some onewho ran 92% negative ads against you?
Use your head-ifyou have one left. Beyond that would he listen to Newt? So far he hasn't-and given Romney's fil flops on everything under the sun could he be trusted to actually follow through on anything ANYONE advised-let alone Grinigich.
And it's not Gringich's fault either-though he has plenty of them. As a Democrat I find Griingich the out standing thinker of the Republican party and a far more vesitle person then Paul Ryan. And frankly,some of Gringich's solutions don't go far enough to fix problems.
Moreimportantly he's willing to own up to beign worng-likeon Libya-and changes his mind -and sayup front why. We don't have enugh of that from Republicans whosee everything as an ideoogical statement..
We hope Gringich stays in-the saw isn't shaprened yet and Mitt's a dull boy.
I wouldn't let him serve IN MY KITCHEN!!!

Good heavens droid! Get a hold of yourself -you are going to do yourself serious harm.
I bet that guy can draw blood while eating oatmeal with a spoon. Damn.
I think you've got a hole in your aluminum foil hat.
Newt and cabinets go together especially if the cabinet has food in it.
DON'T LIE GINK! We, the 99% American People, can't stand him either! That's why we're voting 100% STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC, the life we save may be are own! We've had ALL the corrupt Republican corporate rule we can stand. WE CAN'T EVEN SELECT WHO WE WANT TO RUN FOR OFFICE, the corrupt corporates put up WHO THEY WANT TO RUN!! We want our country back from the 1%! We made them successful, NOW IT IS THEIR TURN to give back to us!
By the way, Gink, the above comment is coming from a lifelong Republican! Now if that doesn't tell you something, then you can't help us either!
Help keep America clean! VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC!!
I'm telling you that the choices on both sides of the aisle are not much of a choice. Odumbo's a liar, and not experienced what so ever and Mitt..... He's not much better. WE American's have got to demand better. This will be the lowest voter turn out in history, mark that on your calendar. Our Gov't. is choking us and itself with greed and unwanted demands that if we don't get someone in there that has a clue, we're all screwed. Our country if it has any chance of surving this mess we'd all better get back into the "Word". That is one truth you can count on and take with you forever.
What is your word Robert "hate"?
The voter turnout among registered Republicans is going to be dismal in the general election: voter turnout among that group was at near-record low levels during the GOP's hotly contested...and frankly hilarious...primary race. Now that Etch-A-Sketch is going to be the Republican Party's reluctance choice, you can bet they aren't going to turn out in November and waste their votes on that loser. In contrast, President Obama's supporters are enthusiastic and inspired just as they were in '08. Additionally, the motivated voters the GOP has alienated and insulted along the way (women, minorities, union workers, seniors, etc.) are swelling Obama's ranks and the obvious conclusion becomes that Willard does not stand a shadow of a chance of winning the presidential election.
President Obama by default in November! The GOP is too busy crashing and burning to care anymore.
Newt advised Dumbya on national security? Was that before or after 9/11? My money's on before.
And health care? Did anyone in Bush's administration even acknowledge that health care exists in this country? They certainly didn't have any policies about it.
After newt and his crazy eyed wife made a joke of themselves is anyone going to want to be assoicated with them?
