Gingrich To Obama: Repudiate The Concept Of The 99%

Apparently Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich wants President Barack Obama to renounce basic math. At a campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina Tuesday the GOP hopeful called on Obama to "repudiate the concept of the 99 and the

advised demonstrators to "[g]o get a job right after you take a bath." He has also taunted protesters who interrupted one of his Florida rallies, saying that "[t]here is no such thing in America as 99 percent."

The president, on the other hand, was a little more patient with the protesters who interrupted his speech in New Hampshire last week.

"[F]amilies like yours, young people like the ones here today -- including the ones who were just chanting at me -- you’re the reason that I ran for office in the first place," Obama told them.

Considering the most recent allegations that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain had a 13-year affair with a Georgia woman, one supporter on Tuesday asked Gingrich if any such claims might derail his campaign.

"The truth, I don't have a clue," the thrice-married candidate said, shrugging. "And if I did have a clue, that's not what they would do."

"Obama can't possibly win an election that's fair. The only way he's going to win is to so destroy the Republican that people decide reluctantly that he is less disgusting than his opponent."
