He has an article at the Huffington Post “Romney a Nobody Among the Ultra-Wealthy, But Rich Enough to Stick Out as President”.

Part 3

Then finally, since Newt Gingrich has made a campaign issue out of food stamps, repeatedly referring to Barack Obama as the food stamp president, we will speak with Timothy Casey, a senior staff attorney with Legal Momentum, the nation’s oldest legal defense and education fund dedicated to advancing the rights of all women and girls. We will get a fact check on food stamps and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, know as SNAP.
