Apparently Newt missed this video of Comrade Romney in 2002

"You watch the Olympians. I can imagine Obama's speech saying, 'You didn't win that gold medal. Everybody won that gold medal,'" Gingrich says, envisioning a future where Obama is president only of the International Olympic Committee and not the U.S. "Well, that ain't how it works. These Olympians work very hard."

You Olympians, however, know you didn't get here solely on your own power. For most of you, loving parents, sisters or brothers, encouraged your hopes, coaches guided, communities built venues in order to organize competitions. All Olympians stand on the shoulders of those who lifted them. We’ve already cheered the Olympians, let’s also cheer the parents, coaches, and communities. All right!

Newt Gingrich riffs on what he imagines Barack Obama would say if he ran the Olympic games and gave a speech to the athletes:Uh, that's pretty much what Mitt Romney said in 2002 (video at top of post):Next thing you know, Newt Gingrich will accuse Barack Obama of inventing Romneycare.
