In reports on Newt Gingrich's June 8 speech to the Senate and House Republican campaign committees, CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley and CQ Politics' Jonathan Allen reported Gingrich's claim that "I am not a citizen of the world. I think the entire concept is intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous." Both Crowley and Allen reported that the line was a jab at President Obama, but failed to report that former President Ronald Reagan made similar remarks. In a July 2008 speech in Berlin, Germany, Obama described himself as "a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." In a June 17, 1982, speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Reagan similarly said, "I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world."

Have you ever looked on it this way??

I am a citizen of TN & USA;
but if i only pay attention to or simply focus on USA, & IGNORE TN laws & customs- not wise @ all.

Also having traveled abroad more than a few times;
no way is USA simply another cookie cutter part of the ''world''

And specifically another danger, as Mr Newt implied;
most[majority of nations, USSR, Arab nations.......]''stunningly dangerous] hate Israel guts, quite different from many in USA:cool:
 
So President Ronald Reagan was wrong and Newt is right?

The appropriate answer is when has Gingrich not made a fool of self?

If one talks enough then one will surely make a fool of oneself at some point or another.
