Newt Gingrich, republican presidential hopeful and former speaker of the house, waits to appear on a television talk show after speaking at a Tea Party Bus Tour stop at a Pizza Ranch restaurant in Indianola, Iowa, as a patron picks through fried chicken in the buffet on June 25, 2011. Gingrich said during the speech that "I'll be responsible, but I won't be reasonable," adding that he wants to be what he called "the paycheck president" instead of, as he characterized President Obama, "the food stamp president."
