  • Gingrich needs to loosen up. The US doesn't lose any thing by how Obama greets Chavez or the Saudis. This is ridiculous. What the US needs is a real tangible energy policy. Learn from Brazil who is energy independent since 2008. Before you get angry, get real. I am a CONSERVATIVE.

  • Let's just look at Newt's logic there. If Obama's meeting with Chavez legitimizes Chazez's administration, wouldn't Reagan's meeting with Gorbachev legitimize the Soviet Union's human Rights abuses? wouldn't Nixon's meeting with Mao legitimize China's human Rights abuses?

    That's why Newt's arguement doesn't make sense. Leaders from both parties meet with enemies of the US, not because we are endorsing dictatorship, but because diplomacy is the peaceful method of international relations.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • @rocha8495 so what does that mean?

    I'm not american so my knowledge of american politics is clearly full of holes; what I've seen in current politics, the US is so corrupt and the parties so distanced from any realistic policies that I don't even know what the REP and DEm parties are supposed to be about;

    so what does it supposed to mean, originally to be a conservative versus a ... I guess the word is, progressive?

  • @crazybread1337 He is subordinate to the people.

  • @gorgeousaileen yyou'll be fucked up soon your peice of imperialist shit

  • this show looks like its filmed in this guy's parents basement.

  • @rocha8495 The US president is not subordinate to ANYONE. He should not act in such a way. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, none of these would not have bowed to or greeted an enemy of the US in such a way. And yes Chavez is an enemy by being not only a communist, which by definition goes against traditional American values, but he also has done uspeakable things to his own people.

    And besides all of this, lets face it, Obama just looks like a spineless tool by doing that

  • If Gingrich becomes president in 2012, I'm placing a £10,000 bet that he personally starts WW3

  • I can't believe they get pissed about bowing to the Saudi King....BUSH USED TO HOLD HANDS WITH THEM!!!!!

  • Clinton had Lawinskey.. Obama has this guys ancles sticking out from under his desk !

    PEACE : )

  • Obama is jelous of Chavez. He believes we should all ware red shirts at the weekley Obama address to the USA. !!
