ABC's Vargas Asks if Gingrich is 'Fit to Be President'
On Tuesday's Good Morning America on ABC, during an interview with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, substitute host Elizabeth Vargas singled out GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich as she asked if the former House Speaker is "fit to be President." Vargas:
And right now, one of the leaders in the polls is Newt Gingrich. It's no secret that many of the Republican Congressmen who served with Mr. Gingrich do not think that he is fit to be President. Do you think he is fit to be President?
As Priebus defended Gingrich's ability to serve as President, he hit President Obama's short list of qualifications before he was elected, and the President's performance while in office.

A shining example of Republican incompetence.

Priebus "suggested that President Obama was short on qualifications when he was elected."
Is he serious? What about "suggesting" that the RBFSOB was short on "qualifications" when he went to bed last night, and he'll still be short on qualifications when he gets his sorry ass out of bed this morning!
These guys are soooooo careful not to say anything that will upset the MSM, and they are so worried about being tagged a racist if they so much as suggest that Bambi may have had a zit in high school, that they won't lay a legitimate glove on the incompetence of the RBFSOB.
Call him what he is. He is probably the worst person to EVER serve as president of this country, because he hates it. Once he turns us into a commie, third world banana republic, however, he'll be perfectly suited to run it.
What is it with the GOP?

And Rience Prebus? I guess he was second choice after Mr. Rogers.

"It's no secret...blah,blah.." Of course it isn't. If it was a secret nobody in the press would know about it. They only deal with news in the form of memos handed out to them. Investigative reporting...research... what's that?
If Obama was qualified to be pResident

If Obama was and is qualified to be president, almost anyone who is an American citizen and old enough is qualified. Exactly what were Obama's qualifications? Affirmative Action president whose father was a dual British and Kenyan citizen. Never held a private sector job? Acceptable college grades? Voting present in the lllinois legislature? 2 years as a US senator? Community organizer? Editor of the Harvard review, who never published anything? Someone with communist and muslim sympathies? A serial and compulsive liar?
So tell me again what exactly were Obama's qualifications?
He was the kind of black guy

the first time, because his first election was historic. After all, the man was Black. As Ultra-Conservative Hollywood actor Tom Hanks said at the time:
Barack Obama deserves to be reelected in 2012, because he again qualifies as a minority, and his election would again be historic. This time his minority status has nothing to do with his skin color. As Ultra-Conservative Tom Hanks would certainly now say:

OK, I worked all day, and then I surfed until dark in some rather powerful and demanding waves, and now I"ve had a nice hot shower, and I'm on my second black cherry/vodka drink, so I'm NOT in the mood to grab my calculator and try and run some numbers.........................BUT...................if these people who were 3/5 of a 'real' human being are the same color as Barry Soetoro Barack Hussein Obama (the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the American public in the history of this country), yet Boy Barry is only 1/8 'black'................by his own admission - half white, 3/8 Arabic, 1/8 African................then what does that add up to when you 'do the math'???
I'm guessing that the final number is about where Obama's IQ and common sense are, as it relates to the rest of the populace. However - it is very EQUAL when you are talking about Obama voters and Obama supporters............and the MSM!!!!

equate Obama's IQ and common sense to Obama supporters. It always amazes me how uninformed, misinformed and stupid many voters are. It probably wouldn't bother me as much if these aforementioned voters didn't vote Democrat.
But it isn't only Democrats that are simpletons. Sadly, some Republicans are misguided as well.
You did the math, Killa!

And didn't the "3/5th's" have to do with how the South and the North would count their populations to INCLUDE slaves? Wasn't it about numbers more than color? Don't get me started!
Well yes, ninja

The North demanded that blacks be counted as less than human. The South believed the accounting, if the North was serious, should be honest.

Yes, it was about votes and representation. Black slaves couldn't vote, but their master could, to count the slaves would give the South more representatives than an equal number of voters in the North would receive, where there were less slaves.

a perfect time for this guy so say Was Barry fit to be president with all his baggage of hanging out with Ayers, Wright and Resko? These GOP politicians are worthless in their interviews not using media time to do some fighting for Conservatives and their candidates. Am very tired of it. Barry has zero to run on so, now is the time to list his failures and his buddies which was totally neglected in 08

He's more fit to be President than Vargus is to be an objective journalist.
