GOP Star Mike Huckabee Brushes Back Rush Limbaugh, Criticism of President Obama
Hispanic Business ^ | November 19, 2009 | Joshua Molina

Conservative Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, who is emerging as a top contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, is gaining some attention this week for his comments in defense of President Obama.

As first reported on the Huffington Post, Huckabee said some of the recent criticisms of Obama have been unfair and even "shameful."

Huckabee made the comments to the Hudson Union Society.

"When he [Barack Obama] was at Dover the other day, and went there to pay respect for soldiers, I heard a lot of people on the Right say "Aw, that's just a cheap photo-op." No, I think it was the Commander-in-Chief of our military paying respect to a dead soldier, and I'm grateful that he did that, and I was proud of him for doing that. And I think we all -- as Americans -- should give him credit for doing that."(continued)

Huckabee, as dynamic as Barney Fife. Looks like the manager of a Handy Andy or Domino’s Pizza. Not presidential material. zzzz, zzz, zzzzz

Love it. While we’re at it, how about the European-American Congressional Caucus, Miss European-America, EurAmaza, NAAEAP, etc?

LOL! BRILLIANT.

Repeated verbatim as it was too good to say only once...

“This article must be from some parallel universe.

One where Obama is good, Palin is evil, and Huckabee is relevant.”

"The Huckster is NOT a star and won’t be the 2012 GOP candidate. He has found his place as a pundit."

Yup. Another RINO that will go the way of that scum-bag POS Joe Scarbourough.

Huckabee is a shyster. Never voted for him for Governor. Carries a Pharisee aura. Please tell me how a Southern Baptist preacher, called of God can become “uncalled” and become a politician? Just a tought.

Huckabee is NOT a conservative, just barely right of Obama and McCain.

Two corrections please.

1. He is NOT a star at anything!

2. He is NOT a Conservative!

Other than that,... the article blows!

Huckabee is one of these so-called conservatives who doesn’t want to appear too shrill or politically incorrect. He only goes so far and then runs to the middle. He’s too wishy-washy for me.

Conservative Republican clown and McCain operative Mike Huckabee,

Fixed.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Well, that did, Huckalump...now I can say I don’t even like you anymore. Who told YOU that you can tell me what I ought to THINK!

The man took 24 cameras and a caravan full of reporter with him! Had he just been paying his respects as a commander-in-chief he would have done it quietly and solemnly out of respect for those soldiers and their families.

He’s an opportunist at best and a sorry POS, mostly, who would throw his own children under the bus and take pictures of it if his mafia buddies wanted him to!

Get lost Huckalump!
