Huckabee: No need for birth-certificate legislation
WND ^ | March 06, 2011 | WND

Posted on 03/07/2011 2:34:10 AM PST by RobinMasters

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee told a radio host today there is no need for legislation to make future presidential candidates prove their birthplace to determine eligibility for office, fearing such a bill would be seen as "a swipe" at Barack Obama.

Huckabee, who sought the Republican Party's presidential nomination in 2008, was speaking to WND's Jerusalem bureau chief and investigative reporter Aaron Klein on Klein's WABC Radio program.

"For 2012, so that there is no controversy in the future," Klein asked Huckabee, "do you personally support some form of legislation that would call for every presidential candidate – putting Obama aside, just in general, every presidential candidate – to prove his place of birth?"

"For the most part, Aaron, I don't even think it's necessary," Huckabee responded. "We pretty much have our biographies. The news media is going to delve into everything imaginable. I think sometimes that piece of legislation might look like a swipe at Obama.

"I don't believe Obama was born overseas, I believe he was born in Hawaii," Huckabee continued. "I have no doubts about his Hawaiian birth."

Huckabee's statement occurs at approximately the 7:00 mark of the following audio file:

***Is Mike Huckabee trying to hide something? :) ***

My exact thought!

As much as I think the Hussein Soetoro birther thing is flimsy, I disagree with Huckabee. I think the birther thing has made it clear that from this point forward there should be very robust birth certificate legislation so that this conspiracy nonsense doesn’t come up again.

The guy is a snake oil shyster of the first degree.

FR doesn’t need to be deluged with articles every time the Huckster spouts out his new formula to regrow hair, restore vitality, induce romance, cure glaucoma, and what not.

The shyster has a big new manse to pay for, he’s going into overdrive in the sociopathic shill career to pay off the monthly payments. You could make a good bet guessing Huckster will be out there making phantasmagorical controversial proclamations once a month every month for the next 30 years until the mortgage is paid off or he gets installed on some corporate boards.

Hey, Huckster.

Even if Barry had been born in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House he's NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

Since you don't get that simple fact you're not smart enough to be a dog catcher. Please STFU and go away.

Beats me—but he’s got a passport now.(And I expect it was his mother who got his first passport for him.)

I think you are carried on your mother’s or father’s passport until the age of 12...I have my mother’s old passport from when we went overseas, and all six of us are in the picture with her.

Obama has taken plenty of swipes at who I am and what I believe. I have zero respect for Huckabee as a presidential candidate.

"That is exactly why Huckabee won’t be the next Republican candidate for President."

The "Little Rocker" gets no support from me.
We have already had Arkansas in the WH and they made a mess of it.

He’s pandering to the left. The failed “big tent GOP” approach.

Fearing such a bill would be seen as “a swipe” at Barack Obama.

Huckabee on knee pads hopes to get black and media support.
