Newt Gingrich warns of major actions during President Obama's final weeks in office

Professional liar and hypocrite Newt Gingrich took a shot at President Obama this past Sunday stating:

“His legacy is like one of those dolls that, as the air comes out of it, shrinks and shrink and shrinks,” Gingrich told Fox News on Sunday. “The things he’s done this week will be turned around … He’s in this desperate frenzy.”


He goes on to say:
“I think in the opening couple days, he’s going to repeal 60 to 70 percent of Obama’s legacy by simply vetoing out all of the various executive orders that Obama used because he couldn’t get anything through Congress,” he said.


The republicans obstructed and interfered with anything President Obama wanted to get done to help the American people. The republicans were so against working with President Obama it was borderline treason.

Take the legacy of a popularly elected President who's leaving with high approval ratings and trash it as fast as you can. Why? Because you can. Or at least you think you can. It very much remains to be seen if his successor, who enters his first term with record-low ratings and a "mandate" that includes a popular vote loss, will realize the RW wet dream of making it seem as if Obama never happened. But, taking a step back from the partisanship of all that, what kind of country does that? One that going nowhere fast. Party on.

The republicans are insanely out of touch with how much Americans love the Obamacare (Affordable Care Act). Millions of people would not be able to afford health insurance if it was not for President Obama stepping in and taking action.

Also, you notice how measured President Obama is when he responds to something? He doesn't get all pissy and go on a Twitter tirade like Trump does.

Make it easier for people to access (and hire workers who will assist them in doing so), add a public option for people over 60, close up funding gaps, etc. Instead we're looking at a repeal, 2-3 years of utter confusion and a health care crisis for millions of people. That's what a loser country does.
