WTF with WTF
Washington (CNN) - The battle between Newt Gingrich and President Obama over the "Winning the Future" slogan continues.
It was a Gingrich line, then an Obama line, then a Sarah Palin joke and point and now the headline for the former House speaker's presidential campaign.
"Winning the Future" was the title of a book published by Gingrich in 2005. It outlined his solutions for terrorism, godlessness and national spending with the subtitle "A 21st Century Contract With America."
President Obama adopted the saying in this year's State of the Union address challenging the country to "win the future" by; "encouraging American innovation," "rebuilding America" and making sure "we aren't buried under a mountain of debt."
"We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world. We have to make America the best place on Earth to do business. We need to take responsibility for our deficit and reform our agenda," Obama said. "That's how our people will prosper. That's how we'll win the future."
The theme of the president's address prompted former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to say the address "was the 'WTF.'"
"There were a lot of 'WTF' moments throughout that speech," Palin said on Fox News at the time.
And now, the newly declared presidential candidate Gingrich has "Together We Will Win the Future" displayed across the top of his new campaign website.
"There's a much better American future ahead: with more jobs, more prosperity, a better health system, longer lives, greater independent living," Gingrich said in his campaign video announcement.

Newt Gingrich for President? WTF?
Didn't something similar happen with the word "Change"?
McCain adopted it after the Financial Crisis without a problem.
President Obama is tackling the challenges facing our nation, takes out bin Laden and continues to lead and represent our country admirably.
Newtie works on a slogan for his website ...
Winning The Future with Newt would have some credibility if only he were able to Erase The Past, specifically HIS past.
As it stands I'm going with President Obama who has been Saving Our Present while building our future on solid rock.
Obama 2012
Lean Forward and Move On.
This POS can get married three times, cheat on his wife, and preach to everyone about his beliefs in god, but I can't have the legal protections afforded my commited relationship of 13 years. These people are hypocrites.
Well, I guess the GOP does believe in recycling: they recycle the same tired slogans, ideas and candidates until they eventually decompose. Too bad they are toxic to America.
So WHERE is Palin's snarky, ignorant, comment about Newt using "WTF" as a campaign slogan?
C'mon Sarah, we're waiting for your "insightful" commentary on how "silly" Newt is being!
Or is the QUITTER showing us, yet again, why she is unworthy of any serious attention.
Tell Sarah to go worry about her daughter's lipo suctioned face.
Bless his slimey little born-again heart. Newt found a religion allowing him to wipe the slate clean after a career of being an imoral and dishonest slime-ball. Not only that, he's got some followers who care more about skin color and greed than morality. Sweet...
I often ask myself "WTF is Sarah Palin?" I'm sure majority of the country ask themselves the same question.
He's a typical lying republican. He'll say anything to get in power, then he'll take from the poor and middle class to give to the wealthy. TYPICAL REPUBLICAN.
Newt is irrelavant so i don't see the need to address a cnflict of any sort.
Newt must have his next wife in the hopper. That's what a great future means to him. He has the gall to mention values

Obama plagarism. Why am I not surprised. His slogan would more appropriately be "WTF am I doing?"
Man I can't wait to vote for Obama in 2012. Newt doesn't stand a chance. Go Dems!!!!!
Gingrich as blustering old hack sticking with his disproven cult of tax cuts for the filthy rich, deregulation and generally screwing the average American. The real neocon snake is Romney. He'll try to position himself as more moderate, even though he's another Friedman//Rand cultist through and through.
I wish Newt was a Democrat. Then I would vote for him.
Newt the future dinosaur !
An ego without a real vision , a GOP legend in his own mind . Newt needs to deal with his mommy daddy issues and let go of his Nazi fetish . Another GOP who likes sending other's into war , yet never served !
Palin is an idiot. So is Newt. Obama/Biden 2012!!!!
"There's a much better American future ahead: with more jobs, more prosperity, a better health system, longer lives, greater independent living," Gingrich said in his campaign video announcement.
As long as we don't elect Newt.
I do not understand these clowns on the republican side. What makes them think they have a chance.
If I was a republican I would get in a plastic bag, sit on the curb, and wait for the garbage man to pick me up.
Will his wife be "First Lady" or "First Homebreaker"?
Doesn't matter.. sorry Newt, but you don't have my vote! When you called Obama "Kenyan, anti-colonial" you lost me.. that's just code word for Ni**er!! Your past will come to haunt you. The list of hypocritical stances you have had just make it more laughable! I'm sure some of the FOX crowd will vote for you because of the disrespect you show our President, but certainly not the majority!
Hate to break it to you Newt.... you're not even going to win a primary. And please leave my future alone, your part in Americas past is depressing enough.
