I should have bet money on Newt Gingrich.

Namely that he would stick his foot in his mouth over the shutdown, considering he shut the government down because of a tantrum he threw when Clinton had him sit at the back of Air Force 1.

Gingrich: Obama To Blame For Shutdown Because He 'Refuses To Behave Like An American President'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 10/1/2013 5:00 pm

Newt Gingrich simply loves suggesting that President Obama isn’t a real American. He took that message today to the 700 Club, where he said that Obama’s lack of American-ness — not House Republicans — is what’s to blame for the government shutdown. In an interview with Pat Robertson, Gingrich alleged that by rebuffing the House’s ridiculous list of demands, Obama is undermining “the core things that protects us from dictatorship.” “The big problem is that President Obama refuses to behave like an American president,” Gingrich said. “This President puts himself above the Constitution and that’s very dangerous for our freedoms.”
