Gingrich: Bush doesn't understand fiscal crisis, and treasury secretary should resign | Political Insider

Former U.S. House speaker Newt Gingrich, whose criticism helped spark a GOP revolt against the bail-out of Wall Street proposed by the Bush Administration, predicted Saturday that House Republicans would reluctantly support legislation that permits the federal government to purchase and isolate the tainted mortgages at the root of the current credit crisis.

But Gingrich had harsh words for President Bush, who he said doesn’t understand the situation, and for Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who the former speaker said — for the first time — should resign.
