Not young or pretty enough. Besides she has cancer. 'The Newt'
Newt says: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."[7] He refused to pay alimony or child support",
In 1962, Gingrich married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old; she was seven years his senior at 26 years old.[5] They had two daughters together. Gingrich divorced Jackie Battley in 1980. Battley has charged that Gingrich discussed the terms of their divorce settlement while she was in the hospital after cancer surgery.[6] According to L.H. Carter, his campaign treasurer, Newt said of Battley: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer."[7] He refused to pay alimony or child support.[8] 
Gingrich married Marianne Ginther in late 1981.[9] Marianne was quoted in a 1995 article in Vanity Fair as saying: "I don't want him to be president and I don't think he should be."[10] They divorced in 1999, the same year Gingrich had an affair with a then 33-year old member of his Congressional staff, Callista Bisek, whom he married the next year.[11] Gingrich's affair was taking place at the same time that he was condemning President Bill Clinton for lying (under oath) about his own affair with staffer Monica Lewinsky. Newt Gingrich did not discuss his own affair until March, 2007. While Gingrich admits his behavior was not to his moral standards, he differentiates his experiences from Clinton's by noting that Clinton was being impeached not for his sexual behavior, but for lying under oath. According to several newspaper editorials, the electability of Gingrich for president is questionable on a Republican party ticket — with a party that emphasizes family values and Christianity as some of their strongest assets. [12] However, recently Newt Gingrich has been quoted saying "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards."[13] He also said the following:
Reverend Jerry Falwell, a leader among Christian Conservatives, believes that Gingrich has "genuinely [sought] forgiveness" In August 2000, Gingrich married Bisek. Gingrich resides in Virginia with Bisek, who appears with him on the back cover of his book "Winning the Future".[14] The Gingrich family includes two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren.

Politics makes for strange bedfellows, they say. The religious right may forgive him for his past personal life since, otherwise, he's their perfect candidate, but I don't think the country is in the mood for another president that feels his decisions are blessed by a higher power.

Newt says: "There were times when I was praying and when I felt I was doing things that were wrong. But I was still doing them...I look back on those as periods of weakness and periods that I'm ... not proud of."

If he uttered these words, that would certainly seem cruel and insensitive at the very least. Sometimes divorce can bring out a person's ugly side and things are said that should never be said. Some of his words could have been distorted or taken out of context. On the other hand, he can come across as smug and arrogant, and sports a conspicuous smurk. It's a shame, because I consider him to be extremely intelligent. If he humbles himself, he will make a great leader.
