"I have an enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet. And I'm doing it."

President Obama is audacious and may well be thinking it.

Newt Gingrich actually said it, in 1985, as an egotistical foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution.

These days Newt Gingrich is trying to resurrect his political career, calling himself a changed man and hoping that by presenting himself as a penitent 68-year old grandfather, he will win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination and then the Presidency.

Voters need to know that Gingrich played the changed man card before.

Lois Romano, in "Newt Gingrich, Maverick on the Hill," published in the Washington Post on January 3, 1985, quoted Gingrich describing "the old me" as "abrasive" and "confrontational" and saying, "I will be somewhat less confrontational, and somewhat less abrasive in the future because I am no longer the person I once was.

Fifteen years later, Gingrich repeated his pattern of trading in an older, health-challenged wife to a younger, healthier one.

Gingrich supporters say that his conversion to Roman Catholicism in 2009 changed him and that, at age 68, with a 23 year younger third wife, he can be trusted with White House interns.

They may be right, but that does not make Gingrich presidential material.

One of Gingrich's friends, Vin Weber, a former Republican Congressman, is quoted in that article saying "Newt has problems with interpersonal relationships. I tell him that every day."

Weber also told Romano that "there's no question that [Gingrich] wants to be an insider now. He never gave a dam before. The question is what price is he willing to pay."

Both of them paid a high price.

In 2006 Weber joined then former Speaker Gingrich in working for Freddie Mac. Gingrich had gone on the Freddie Mac payroll not long after resigning his Speakership and House seat in disgrace in 1998.

Jim Tilton, then a friend of Gingrich since their high school days, described Gingrich as a man determined to save the world. "He really believed when he was a junior in high school that he was destined to save western civilization."

Romano agreed: "Newt Gingrich believes he is on a mission to reform the globe, a mission that started at age 15, when he wrote a 200-page term paper while living with his Army family in Stuttgart.... It's an obsession that friends say contributed to the end of his first marriage."

Gingrich's first wife and mother of his two children, Jackie, told Romano: "He can say that we had been talking about [divorcing] for 10 years, but the truth is that it came as a complete surprise. He's a great wordsmith...He walked out in the spring of 1980 and I returned to Georgia. By September, I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said Daddy is downstairs and could he come up? When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from the surgery...To say I gave up a lot for the marriage is the understatement of the years."

This year Gingrich astonishing explained his serial adultery as a result of his patriotism.

In 1985 Gingrich went with the pain instead of patriotism explantion. "There were long periods in my marriage when I was in enormous pain, and I did a lot of things during that time that reflect how much pain I was in."

Ironically, it was because Gingrich caused former Speaker Tip O'Neill pain that he admittedly became famous.

Romano: "[Gingrich']s the noisy and intense fourth-term Republican from Georgia who jumped from the obscurity of his ranks when he so incensed Tip O'Neill on the House floor one day last spring that the speaker rose from his chair and loudly blasted Gingrich's verbal acrobatics as 'the lowest thing I have ever seen in my 32 years in the House.'"

These days Obamatons are using the word "weird" as a codeword for Mormon, hoping to discredit Mitt Romney.

Self-proclaimed "revolutionary" Gingrich admitted to being "pretty weird as a kid." "If you decide in your freshman year in high school that your job is to spend your life trying to change the future of your people, you're probably fairly weird."

Gingrich on Gingrich: "I'm the guy in the eighth grade who did not go across the floor and ask the girl to dance for two reasons. One is, she might say no and I'd be embarrassed; two, she might say yes and I'd have to dance..."

Now Gingrich is now much more ambitious and audacious than shy and embarrassed.

Gingrich is asking to be entrusted with the 2012 Republican presidential nomination and the Presidency.

As Nancy Reagan, the wife of a President who did change the world, might put it, "Just say no" to Newt.

Republicans, save America and spare Newt the embarrassment of running against Obama and losing.

The upcoming election is too important to lose and wishful thinking is not enough to win.
