Obama, Gingrich and 'Winning the Future': Petty Larceny or Fair Game?

The phrase that President Barack Obama used 10 times in his State of the Union address, and at least five more times during a visit to Wisconsin on Wednesday, is also the title of a 2005 book by Newt Gingrich. Wherever they are on the political spectrum, it seems great minds agree that America must "win the future." Gingrich, the former House speaker and habitual Republican presidential prospect, published "Winning the Future" in January 2005. He subtitled it "A 21st Century Contract With America" and laid out his remedies for terrorism, godlessness, flagging patriotism, too much spending and ...

Newt Gingrich: The Challenge for Republicans

(Nov. 3) -- Tuesday was historic. The United States just saw the largest swing in control of the U.S. House since 1938, with the Republican Party gaining control over at least 60 new seats.

Newt Gingrich Group Honors, Shakes Down, Then (Ooops!) Disinvites Strip Club Owner

When Dallas "gentlemen's club" owner Dawn Rizos learned that a group led by Newt Gingrich picked her as a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year, she was "very honored." Now, she's very disappointed. The former House Speaker's American Solutions for Winning the Future told her Tuesday it has rescinded the award, saying it had made a mistake. "We were very honored to receive this award and it's really kind of rude for them to change their minds at the last minute," said Rizos, owner of The Lodge, which bills itself as "the #1 Gentlemen's Club in America." On September 2, Rizos received a fax from ...
