RELEASE THE NEWT!
That’s right folks. Mitt Romney has decided to go nuclear in an attempt to go after Obama. Not only is he using a known dog whistle (welfare queens) but he’s unleashing a blast from the past, Newt Gingrich, to make the attack:
Newt Gingrich accused President Obama on Wednesday of a secret ‘radical’ plot to end work requirements in welfare reform, brushing aside denials from both the Republican architect of the 1996 bill and the Democratic president who signed it into law.
‘I think on the hard left, there is an unending desire to create a dependent America,’ Gingrich said.
‘It’s not just that Obama is a radical, it’s that the people he appoints are more radical,’ he said.’ Gingrich also accused Secretary of Health and Human Service Kathleen Sebelius of lying when she pledged to veto state requests to water down work requirements in welfare.
Methinks Mitt is losing, and doesn’t have much left but the muck at the bottom of the barrel.
