Newt Gingrich revved up by the crowd by hearkening back to an old line from Ronald Reagan’s stump speeches of 1980.
Quoting Reagan: “When your brother-in-law is unemployed, it’s a recession. When you’re unemployed it’s a depression. When Jimmy Carter is unemployed, it’s a recovery.”
Following the audience’s laughter and applause, Gingrich had them cheering with his declaration that America’s recovery would begin when President Obama loses decisively in 2012.
