"Governor Huckaby simply mis-spoke".

Huckaby thinks Obama grew up in Kenya.

Why should he be different than the rest of the GOP?

I seriously doubt that. More likely that he saw the polls showing that a majority of Republican primary voters believe the Obama was not born in the United States, so he lied.

Interesting thought.

Huckabee is actually a really smart guy, I can't imagine he would truly think that. One of the few FNC commentators who deserves respect IMO...will be interesting to see if he confirms a 2012 run.

Indonesia is so much like Kenya . . .

According to http://washingtonmonthly.com/ Huckabee's people issued the following statement:

Quote:

Governor Huckabee simply misspoke when he alluded to President Obama growing up in 'Kenya.' The Governor meant to say the President grew up in Indonesia.

When the Governor mentioned he wanted to know more about the President, he wasn't talking about the President's place of birth -- the Governor believes the President was born in Hawaii. The Governor would however like to know more about where President Obama's liberal policies come from and what else the President plans to do to this country -- as do most Americans.

Does he expect anyone to believe that? If he meant to say "Indonesia", how does he explain this part of his comment?

Quote:

...his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British are a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather...

Did Indonesia have a Mau Mau Revolution, too? I am surprised by the lack of sophistication in their lies.

In addition, Obama was only there from the ages of 6-10 yrs old. The entire screed from this bigot is ridiculous. Perhaps we can take a poll to find out how many of us had political opinions at 10 years of age. My ten year old can give you his political opinions on Sponge Bob Squarepants, who he believes should be king of the world.

Barack Obama spent his formative years in the United States, in Hawaii, where of course we all know, a brutal Mau-Mau rebellion took place.

And this clown wants to be president?

So, either he does believe it and is a moron, or doesn't believe it and is a pandering liar. Got it.

I would hate to be Huck's research person right now. Whomever it was that prepped him for his performance is likely going to be looking for another gig soon.

You get what you pay for.
