How should Obama respond to this?

[Brigid]

Poll question: How should Obama respond to this?

On Reverend Al's show, he reports that Newtie is calling on Obama to "repudiate" the 99% movement. What should be Obama's response to Newtie?

[msanthrope]

1. He should ignore the GOP candidates. nt

[TheWraith]

2. Option 1A: Make fun of him. nt

[teddy51]

3. I don't think Obama should even give Newt the satisfaction of recognition.

As President Obama has been saying all along, we do not have a Republican candidate yet.

[Enrique]

4. his spokesman should ask,

"has Newt paid his Tiffany's bill yet?"

[emulatorloo]

20. Good one

[SixthSense]

5. Napoleon said something like

"never interfere with an opponent who is destroying himself"

[ghurley]

9. perfect! n/t

[Aerows]

6. Who cares what Newt Gingrich thinks?

It's not like he's relevant. Does anyone other than Newt Gingrich HONESTLY think Gingrich is actually a viable candidate?

[teddy51]

11. Lets face it Newt is in this for the money! He is a smart smarmy Republican that

knows his chance of occupying the WH fall between 0 and none.

[Aerows]

14. Exactly

I couldn't have said it better. He has no chance of winning, and everyone knows it.

[Lost-in-FL]

7. For what? For not paying Newt's Tiffany debt? nt

[gateley]

8. I'm in agreement with the Ignore crowd - not worth Obama's

notice.

[evrstrong]

10. remind Newt he's president of the 100% n/t

[fascisthunter]

12. he should state: "I will, when you stop working for the 1%"

...which will never happen.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Newt who?

[teddy51]

15. Good one! n/t

[JanMichael]

16. You didn't give "cave/agree" or "off the table" as choices??? nt.

[Modern_Matthew]

17. Stay silent, like on every other important issue in America. nt

[Whisp]

19. yeh, that mute Obama, never saying anything of importance.

what a putrid load.

[emulatorloo]

22. Lol, you are getting in the way of a DU Meme Fabricator!

:patriot:

[Raine]

23. best to ignore it nt

[Whisp]

18. as always, ignore the shitstains.

if Obama had to answer every stupid question out there he wouldn't have time to even brush his teeth.

and some of the stupid comes from some surprising places.

:crazy:

[FarLeftFist]

21. Don't feed the TROLL. IGNORE and refused to be bullied.

[FiveGoodMen]

24. He SHOULD say that Newt's comment is a perfect example of how the republicans have abandoned

and betrayed the vast majority of Americans.

But since he's a 1-percenter at heart, he won't.

[Solomon]

25. Of course he "should" have to say something.

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get your gripe on. Wonder if there's any significance to you that more than 80% disagrees with you that he should have to say something?

Probably not.

[Zorra]

26. "Newt, got some bad news for ya. We now Occupy the White House".

[Motown_Johnny]

27. Obama's style is not to engage in this kind of crap. I think we all know it will be ignored

Then Newt will make a more outrageous statement trying to get a reaction, and then again, and again. Until finally we will have a whole bunch of excellent sound bites to use in an ad next year (if he wins the nomination).


This is the pattern, I assume it will be followed once again.

[applegrove]

28. He is trying to do what Mitt did when he lied about Obama giving a speech. He wants

to get into a dustup with Obama to get people thinking he will be the nominee and can take on Obama.
