Question from Juan Williams: "You recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said that poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can't you see that this is viewed at a minimum as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?"
GINGRICH: "No. I don't see that."
(APPLAUSE) You know, my daughter, Jackie, who’s sitting back there, Jackie Cushman, reminded me that her first job was at First Baptist Church in Carrollton, Georgia, doing janitorial work at 13. And she liked earning the money. She liked learning that if you worked, you got paid."
New York City pays their janitors an absurd amount of money because of the union. You could take one janitor and hire 30-some kids to work in the school for the price of one janitor, and those 30 kids would be a lot less likely to drop out. They would actually have money in their pocket. They'd learn to show up for work. They could do light janitorial duty. They could work in the cafeteria. They could work in the front office. They could work in the library. They'd be getting money, which is a good thing if you're poor. Only the elites despise earning money. (cheers and applause).
WILLIAMS: We saw some of this reaction during your visit to a black church in South Carolina. (booing) We saw some of this during your visit to a black church in South Carolina where a woman asked you why you referred to President Obama as "the food stamp president." It sounds as if you're seeking to belittle people. (Audience booing Williams, again.)
GINGRICH: The fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history. Now, I know among the politically correct you're not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable. The area that ought to be I-73 was called, by Barack Obama, "a corridor of shame because of unemployment". Has it improved in three years? No. They haven't build the road. They haven't helped the people. They haven't done anything. (cheers and applause)
I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their Creator with the right to pursue happiness, and if that makes liberals unhappy, I'm gonna continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job, and learn someday to own the job. (cheers and applause) Wow! Way to go Newt! We're all Americans. Conservatives do not see black and white, male, female, gay, straight. We look at people. We want the best for everybody. PERIOD.
Newt said, "99 weeks of unemployment benefits, that's an associate degree." The demoncrats had control of both, House and Senate. When Obama requested that unemployment benefits grow to 99 weeks, that's why you didn't hear a word about it. When the Republicans took back the House, ONE YEAR AGO, we said that the money should come from the unspent stimulus funds, instead of increasing the debt. The press only reported that Republicans said "No" and us called "uncaring".
The Republicans message is, We want to teach you to do it for yourself and we want to help you achieve your dreams and goals. We will help you succeed and we will all be better off for it.
That is the message behind Newt's theory on young poor people taking jobs no matter what they are. We're up against the liberals who say, "We'll do it for you. We'll plan your life for you. We'll decide if you're raising your children right. We will let you achieve some success and when you hit $250,000 we'll take it from you, "in all fairness". We'll plan your health care for you. " You get the point.
"The Republican Debate Audience Hits A New Low By Cheering Child Labor."( The headline by one of the many liberal rags.)Unfreaking believable. Nobody can possibly think Newt Gingrich was "promoting child labor." This is a clear example the liberal media has been dividing Americans. Obama is leading the charge. (Liberal Juan Williams was fired by the liberal NPR "for insensitivity remarks" about Muslims getting on an airplane. He was hired by Fox, with a salary increase. (FOX, Fair and Balanced).
At the next debate was after ABC aired an interview with Marianne Gingrich, Newt's X-wife of 13 years. The first question was, (naturally), to Newt. He responded, “I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that,” Gingrich told the moderator. “To take an ex-wife and make it, two days before the primary, a significant question in a presidential campaign, is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine.” That's the liberal media!!!!
Update: Dec. 18, 2011 (I wrote) Why would Obama veto, H.R. 3630, the “Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011?” It approves, the Keystone XL pipeline project that would bring oil from Canada. The creation of thousands of jobs, generate revenue for the states where the pipeline passes. Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Texas are getting $5.2 billion. The unions are for it. The plans have been in the works for six years. All of the treehuggers studies have been done. IT IS A 36 INCH PIPE! Obama said that he would decide on the pipeline in 2 months.
Fast forward to Jan. 18, 2012. Obama has just said , "No", to the Keystone pipeline. Canada is going to sell the oil to China. Why? Because there's an ass sitting in the president's chair.
