Video: Newt hits Romney for not being tough with Obama

The Newt Gingrich presidential campaign peaked in South Carolina. In the days leading up to the primary, the former House Speaker was on offense. He was hitting Obama on Saul Alinsky, he was hitting CNN's John King on the debate floor, and he called out Juan Williams for the latter's obvious race-baiting. Gingrich was rewarded with a primary victory in that state.

Media outlets were reporting that candidates who win South Carolina almost always win the nomination. If Gingrich had proceeded to carry Florida one week later, he may have pulled away to victory. In the days after the South Carolina primary, the Romney campaign went to work, destroying Gingrich, who had a sizable lead in Florida shortly after that South Carolina victory only to see it eaten up by vicious Romney attack ads. It was essentially the end of Newt's campaign; he never recovered.

When it comes to destroying Obama, Romney has no interest and this fact is not lost on Newt who, during an appearance on Piers Morgan's show, called Romney out on it.

Good for Newt. He's right.

Video: Obama lies his face off; says Fast and Furious began under Bush Administration

Was this lie by Barack Obama intended to get people to ignore his bald-faced lies about what prompted the U.S. Embassy attack in Benghazi on 9/11?

This is so over-the-top, it's the only thing I can come up with.

During his interview with Jorge Ramos of Univision this week, Obama said that Fast and Furious was started under the Bush administration. You'd be hard-pressed to find instances of me being a Bush-defender but come on.

Fast and Furious was completely and entirely implemented during the Obama administration.

Bald. Faced. Lie.

Via Oversight:



Now, let's take a short trip back in time, shall we? Here is an exchange between U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Attorney General Eric Holder on November 8, 2011. Note that Holder states clearly that Wide Receiver was started under the Bush administration while Fast and Furious was started under the Obama administration.

When boxed into a corner, Holder even says he has not 'tried to equate' Fast and Furious with Wide Receiver.



So did Barack Obama lie to Jorge Ramos or did Eric Holder commit perjury?
