E-mail Print PDF
The Atlantic Wire - If a magazine reporter wrote an 8,000-word profile about you, it might seem flattering. But if that reporter's primary source was your ex-wife—whom you cheated on for six years—that's another story. And that's the setup to the new Esquire profile of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich available online today. In the piece, writer John Richardson depicts Gingrich as both cerebral and incendiary: a man of constructive ideas with a flair for hypocritical demagoguery. It's a timely examination of Gingrich, as speculation of a presidential bid grows and his political influence swells.

Obama vs. the 'professional Left' (The Week)

E-mail Print PDF

Read more...The Week - In a rare unguarded moment, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has lashed out at the "professional Left" for criticizing President Obama. "They will be satisfied when we have Canadian health care and we've eliminated the Pentagon. That's not reality," Gates told The Hill. Obama has been the target of criticisms from the Left for his opposition to gay marriage, his failure to close Guantanamo Bay, and the lack of a public option in the health-care bill. The press secretary almost immediately walked back his statement, saying his comments had been "inartful," but many argue he has damaged the president's rapport with his liberal base ahead of the midterm elections. Are hard-line liberals demanding too much of President Obama, or should the White House be more heedful of its frustrated base? (Watch a Fox News discussion about Gibbs' comments)
