Newt Gingrich: Mr. Backtracker

Obviously, Newt Gingrich wants to be President. But, do we want a President who constantly makes decisions or speaks out against something and, then, days or weeks later has to backtrack on his statements?

This is a consistent problem with Gingrich. He did it when he made the video commercial with Nancy Pelosi on Climate Change. He also had to backtrack on his criticism of Paul Ryan's budget proposal by labeling it "right-wing social engineering". Then, there was the denial that he was for the individual mandate for health care. He also had to backtrack on his calling Sonia Sotomayor a racist. And, the list goes on and on. From comments he made about Egypt to his blundering statements about abortion. Now, in his latest retreat, he is walking backwards on his attack of Romney's association with Bain Capital.

It's one thing to make mistakes when talking about domestic issues. But, do we really want this man meeting with world leaders and making statements that weren't well thought out?
