“I’m going to be the nominee. It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee. And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking. So they should do what they and their consultants want to do. I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.”

Newt Gingrich in an ABC News interview today

Meanwhile, back at the unicorn farm, Barack Obama made some appearances in Pennsylvania and New York City urging wealth redistribution, or government revenue from those who are “not paying their fair share”, depending upon whose side you’re on. There was general vilifying of everything Republican and many outlandish claims, as usual, making conservative ideas appear abusive and destructive. Usual script. Remember the bit about “…the Republicans would have you drinking dirty water and breathing polluted air”? Sounds like an eight-year-old telling his friends that a couple of other kids in their class are butt-heads that suck on rotten eggs. Ridiculous. Our president had two years to form a path and a legacy with a Democratic Senate and House. He made his decisions and a substantial amount of Americans think they were very poorly devised choices.

Now he is campaigning on not being done with his hope and change, and needing more time to achieve his goals.

"I'm going to need another term to finish the job.”

Sounds like a hit-man saying he needs fifteen more minutes to finish the job.
