During the candidates' introductions at the start of Tuesday's Republican Presidential debate in Las Vegas, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich took a few swipes at Barack Obama.
"I'm Newt Gingrich and unlike President Obama, I'm glad to be in Las Vegas. I think it's a great place to have a convention."
The former Speaker was obviously mocking the President's February 2010 statement:
“When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices.”
Gingrich followed this up by saying, "And when I am president, we're going to replace class warfare with cooperation so all Americans can get off food stamps and on to paychecks."
This was another jab at the President as it was announced in August that more Americans are now on food stamps than ever in history.
