"Gingrich says he received Freddie Mac compensation"
"Gingrich said he didn't remember exactly how much he was paid, but a former Freddie Mac official said it was at least $1.5 million for consulting contracts stretching from 1999 to 2007."
"In 2008, Gingrich suggested in a Fox News interview that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama should have to return campaign contributions he had received from executives of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. He said that in a debate with Obama, GOP presidential nominee John McCain "should have turned and said, 'Senator Obama, are you prepared to give back all the money that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae gave you?'"

Newt Gingrich, as private citizen, provided consulting services to Freddie Mac and was paid a fee. They ended up not taking his advice (apparently). What is wrong with that?

I was going to ask why you're pretending you're too retarded to grasp the difference between getting paid for private work vs being bribed while a public official but then I realized you aren't pretending.
You need to realize that Republicans have a very different set of values. They also tend to be incredibly hypocritical.
Apparently you can't figure out the difference, so I'll happily explain. Gingrich took money for work...he was a consultant. Obama took money as a donation to his campaign for Senate and president.
When you provide a service, you're allowed to get paid in America. Duh.
