Description | Newt Gingrich may not be a "birther" -- a believer in the false claim that Barack Obama was born in Kenya -- but he evidently doesn't have a problem pandering to that demographic.
In an interview with the National Review, the former Republican speaker of the House said Obama's perspective on the world is "factually insane" and the president's actions only make sense when it's understood that he has a "Kenyan, anti-colonial" attitude.
Gingrich, now tipped as a potential presidential candidate in 2012, told NRO that Obama "worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true."
He pondered, "What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]? ... That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior." |
