Newt Gingrich President Quotations

I believe we will elect a new President in 2012.

President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.

My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I'm going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.

President Obama has created at least three jobs that I know of - Bob McDonnell, Chris Christie, and Scott Brown.

Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.

What the president should recognize is that the American people are tired of thousands of pages of regulations, of audits they don't understand by agents they can't talk with from a bureaucracy they can't control,

has to be a criminal offense of the first order. How can you have an American president asking for money from foreign leaders? ...I think this is one of the most disturbing revelations we've ever had about an American president because it would indicate a total absence of judgement that really, I think, puts the nation in substantial danger.

Well, it depends on whether the president instructs his staff to testify. It depends on whether the attitude is obstruction or the attitude is cooperation. And, I think at the moment we don't know what will happen.

We find ourselves where with a Democratic president and a Republican congress and we have an absolute moral obligation to make this system work.

We thank the president for wishing to continue the dialogue on race last weekend, but frankly, there has been much talk on this issue and very little action of the sort which will dramatically change people's lives,

President Mubarak has been a leader in trying to bring peace to the Middle East.

As a test of the homeland security system, this was a failure. It's important for the president to lead the nation in saying -- and he has already said -- that this is unacceptable. This is not a moment to defend inadequacy. It's a moment to respond very aggressively to human suffering and establish a vision of a more secure, more prosperous Gulf Coast.

This is a critical intersection for the president and his ability to be effective for the next three years,

I want to get this bill signed, so for the first time in 16 years, the American people have a tax cut, but we're not going to give it up flippantly, we're going to work to keep it. I think the president has to look at what does he want. He's not going to get everything he wants; this is not a one-way street.

If the president is willing to sign a bill that has those reforms, which everybody agrees intellectually are needed in the long run, no one denies that we have to have some pretty basic reforms as people live longer and baby boomers head towards retirement, if he's willing to work with us, I think that we can get something done, but frankly he can kill that by simply indicating he won't support it, ... It's too difficult to carry reforms of that size against the president, so he has a unique burden of having to decide whether or not he can accept that.

I pledge right here working with the president that we will work in a bipartisan basis ... to enact in 1999 the right savings and the right steps to reform the system for the baby boomers and their children,

How this president handles the Middle East in general and wins in Iraq in particular will be probably the most important definition of his presidency.

I commend the president for being flexible enough to admit he made a mistake.

I believe on the issue of the $500-per-child tax credit, the president absolutely will sign the bill.

Governor Romney may be running for CEO, I'm running for President

President Obama is a president so weak that he makes Jimmy Carter look strong.

You can't talk about attacking or assassinating the President of the United States and you shouldn't be able to.

As [House] speaker, I came back, working with President Bill Clinton. We passed a very Reagan-like program: less regulation, lower taxes. Unemployment dropped to 4.2 percent. We created 11 million jobs.

Can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney? The fact is, you ran in '94 and lost. That's why you weren't serving in the Senate with Rick Santorum. The fact is, you had a very bad re-election rating, you dropped out of office, you had been out of state for something like 200 days preparing to run for president. You didn't have this interlude of citizenship while you thought about what you do. You were running for president while you were governor.

As a citizen, I would rather have a President McCain that we fight with 20% of the time, than a President Clinton or a President Obama that we fight with 90% of the time.

You know, presidents have to be disciplined, and in that sense Hillary Clinton is probably better trained to be president, just because she's the most corrupt person to ever get the nomination of a major party.

We are going to have the candidate of food stamps, the finest food-stamp president in the American history, in Barack Obama, and we are going to have a candidate of paychecks.

If you want to see why President Obama is worried this November, watch The Hope and the Change.

Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire's challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail. . . . President Reagan is clearly failing.

To suggest that it's OK to assassinate a president, I think is a felony. And I think that it should be.

the heart of the tax package that we ran in in 1994 is going to be signed into law by President Clinton.
