Hasn't he figured out we've moved past the fear mongering? It's only the hard right extremists that thrive on this kind of stuff. He criticizes Obama for nearly everything but doesn't offer any solutions of his own, only Ronald Reagan's. I'm wondering what exactly he thinks we should do about North Korea?
People like Newt are dangerous because they live in the past. This guy is the biggest Reagan idolizer there is. It's almost embarrassing for him because that's all he talks about. But we live in a different world now. Reagan doesn't have all the answers anymore.
Politico: The U.S. is at greater risk of terrorist attack because of the Obama administration's actions, Newt Gingrich said Monday.
In a chat with POLITICO readers, Gingrich also called the administration’s response to the North Korean missile launch a “vivid demonstration of weakness in foreign policy.” He said Obama’s proposals for a resumption of nuclear arms limitation talks reflected “a dangerous fantasy that runs an enormous risk. ... Not since Jimmy Carter have we had an administration this out of touch with reality.”
“Dick Cheney is clearly right in saying that between the court decisions about terrorists and the administration actions, the United States is running greater risks of getting attacked than we were under President Bush,” said the former speaker of the House and Georgia congressman.

On the North Korean missile launch, he said “the embarrassing repudiation of the United States appeal to the United Nations Security Council Sunday afternoon is a vivid demonstration of weakness. This is beginning to resemble the Carter administration’s weakness in foreign policy.”
He said Obama’s speech on nuclear disarmament in Prague on Sunday “is a dangerous fantasy that runs an enormous risk. It is part of the Obama administration’s substitution of words for thoughts and fantasies for achievements.”
