You know what this sounds like to me? ABC got their feelings hurt because Newt snubbed them.

When it’s a Republican they’re “dodging”… when it’s Obama refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena he’s “allowing the deadline to expire”.

Newt received an average of $200k per year to provide consulting services while he was NOT in public service.

This is a “manufactured scandal” – if you would like to investigate genuine scandals involving the mortgage meltdown and political figures then write an objective analysis of Barney Frank and his relationship with Fannie Mae.

Good Lord. Can you be any more biased, Russell????

Wait, I can help you. I can rewrite this article so that it’s a few more percent biased:

Evil Newt Gingrich (Bad Man) Cowardly Dodges Questions on Legal Freddie Mac Work That We Are Going To Represent As A Scandal

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Alluding to the heinous scandal embroiling his ascendant, weak, disgusting campaign, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told a crowd in Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday that he would “cheerfully answer every single question” reporters had.

Following the event, however, he cowardly refused to answer any questions about the work he did for mortgage giant Freddie Mac, which although amounting to only 200,000 a year, still is an opening for press hacks like me to falsely alude to a scandal.

In recent days, it has been revealed that bad man Gingrich earned $1.6 million for work he did for Freddie Mac, the agency many blame for the housing bubble that preceded the financial crisis. No crime was committed, and we will ignore any Democrat who actually implemented Freddie Mac, but Newt Gingrich is very evil.

@specialty57 man oh man. There were not two. There were THREE. And the third was secret and much larger ($16 trillion) doled out by the Fed (which, let face it, are mostly Goldman Sachs Obama folks) to their cronies (trillions to foreign banks) as revealed by a partial audit of the Federal Reserve led by Ron Paul on his 9th attempt. Imagine what a FULL audit would reveal. A government bailout and a Fed bailout is one in the same, since the Fed controls our money supply and Americans are accountable, whether through direct taxes or severely inflated worthless money. WHEN are you people going to wake up?? This is not a party issue. The American people are being robbed by a diluted money supply. Learn, all of you who love Newt, Obama, Romney, Cain…LEARN!!!

Tom Bush’s TARP money bailed out banks and the auto industry and did you get your 500 dollar tax returns? If you paid taxes you did. Also, who’s name is on deregulation? Not Bush’s like most liberals think. It is Slick Willy Clinton. What money did Obama give to the people? That whopping 12 bucks a week tax break? That never even payed for the increase in milk and bread prices not to mention record fuel prices. Is that still Bush’s fault ? Most of the unread stimulus bill Pelosi, Reid and Obam had to have was wasted. What few jobs it did create or save as claimed were some very expensive jobs to say the least.

But let’s be clear: there were TWO stimulus packages. One by Bush (in the last days of his presidency – people forget that); and one by Obama.

Bush gave his trillion to the corporations.
Obama gave his trillion to the citizens to put them to work.

Both failed in the face of the mounting crisis brought on by 30 years of Republicans who freed financial houses to do what they wanted without checks and balances, But at least Obama gave the money to people.

And we do have a country friendly to business. It is OUR oil on OUR land, but we let the businesses keep it. In fact, Republican judges have declared that corporations are people.

Like Newt or not, he is right about the failed stimulus that blew a trillion and Obamacare, another expensive useless bill of 2400 pages of nothing. Now Obam wants another half trillion for yet another band aid. NO PLAN, JUST KEEP ON THROWING MORE OATS TO A DEAD HORSE. How about fixing the problem? Bring our jobs back to this country. Pass bills that make it friendly for our industry to to do business here.
