Politics: Newt Gingrich says something that makes us wince

  • 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.

Robert Gibbs tries, but he doesn’t get all the way there. source
