ContributorNetwork – COMMENTARY | Some would have us believe the president plays a much smaller role in determining what our economy does than most people believe.

Shortly after learning of his second place finish in the Florida primary, Newt Gingrich delivered his concession speech to supporters, declaring that “It is now clear that this will be a two-person race between the conservative leader, Newt Gingrich, and the Massachusetts moderate.” He assured supporters that “We are going to contest every place, and we are going to win, and we will be in Tampa as the nominee in August.” The former House Speaker closed his speech by saying he would pledge his “life and fortune” to the presidency and American people.

Gingrich Delivers FL Concession Speech: It’s Clear This Is Now a Two-Person Race
Alternate headline: “Joe Biden: On the wrong side of every foreign policy question of the last 35 years” In a story headlined ” Joe Biden Advised Against the Osama Bin Laden Raid ,” ABC News reports this today: Vice President Joe Biden confessed this weekend that he advised President Obama not to launch the mission that ultimately killed Osama bin Laden last spring. During remarks at a Democratic congressional retreat this weekend, Biden explained that when it came time to make the final decision, he had some lingering uncertainties about whether the 9/11 mastermind was in the suspected compound in Pakistan. “[President Obama] got to me. He said, ‘Joe, what do you think?’ … I said, ‘We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go.” So, on the one major decision that President Obama has gotten right, Biden was wrong even on that — much like, um, all of his stances on major foreign policy questions. Funny — until you consider he’s next in line for the presidency. h/t: Jake Tapper
