Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich raised a few eyebrows Tuesday when he told listeners on WNTK’s morning show that President Bill Clinton was a pleasure to work with – at least compared with the Obama administration, which is still embroiled in a gridlocked debate over raising the debt ceiling that mirrors the impasse the Republican presidential candidate had with Clinton in 1995.
“Bill Clinton was, in the end, willing to be practical. We were able to sit down, face-to-face, and negotiate a deal,” said Gingrich. “He really was so much further to the center than President Obama is, and he was so much more flexible than President Obama. I don’t think there’s any comparison of the environment.”
