BEVERLY HILLS (CBS/AP) — Newt Gingrich is trying to reboot his troubled presidential bid.

The former House speaker gave a foreign policy address Sunday night in Beverly Hills in which he charged the Obama administration with placing “political correctness above common sense” when it comes to global affairs.

The speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition was Gingrich’s first since his campaign was rocked by the departure Thursday of 16 top strategists and advisers.

“There is a fundamental strategic difference between the traditional consulting community and the kind of campaign I want to run,” the 67-year-old former Speaker of the House told reporters Friday in explaining the rift.

“Now, we’ll find out over the next year who is right.”

Gingrich will be in New Hampshire on Monday to debate other GOP presidential hopefuls.

Meantime, Texas Gov. Rick Perry — who’s thinking about getting into the 2012 presidential race – is expected to attend a Sunday event inLos Angelesorganized by a Hispanic anti-abortion group.

Polls show GOP voters are uneasy with the party’s emerging 2012 field.

    The Cain Train is picking up steam, folks! All aboard!

    Check out this short compilation clip in which Herman Cain debates Obama, through the magic of Hollywood editing, on the merits of health care reform. It’s pretty funny, but one gets the impression that when Herman Cain debates Obama on race and when Herman Cain debates President Obama on the economy, Mr. Cain will take Obama to the woodshed.

    So out of touch with reality. He goes on a luxury cruise instead of meeting the people in Iowa, $500,000.00 bill at Tifany’s, and now he’s speaking to a bunch of rich Jews in Beverly Hills. This guy is an idiot.

    Hah. I can say with confidence, as a Jew who lives in the LA area, he’s wasting his time.
