Huntsman tries to explain calling Obama 'remarkable'
CNN Political Ticker ^ | June 22, 2011 | Peter Hamby

Washington (CNN) - In an interview after his presidential announcement Tuesday, former Utah governor and ambassador to China Jon Huntsman tried to downplay a letter he wrote to President Barack Obama in August 2009 calling him a "remarkable leader."

Huntsman told Fox News that he was only alluding to the fact that the president would appoint a Republican to "a position as important and sensitive as the U.S. ambassadorship to China."

Huntsman is really a gag alert.
Huntsman = Romney = Obama

I, myself, have made many “remarks” about 0bama,

so, indeed, he is “remarkable”.

It just occurred to me that Huntsman may be a Manchurian candidate shilling for the ChiComs.

So he didn't mean it. That's good. That means he's a disingenuous suck up instead of a blithering idiot. Much better.

Perhaps he should have used the word “breathtaking” to describe Oclueless.

The obozo is “remarkable,” all right. A leader, no; remarkable for his anti-American arrogant destructive marxist policies and incompetence, yes. We’ve never seen anything like him, and never want to again.

The liberal, state run “media” sure is pushing for a Mormon GOP candidate. I guess they see them as easy targets. The “media” sure is getting lazy. They are looking for an easy win for their messiah without them having to jump through too many hoops.

I don’t get this one.

So he was offered a globally pretty important job as highest ranking America diplomat in the country most significant for good (or bad) to America.

In return he said nice things to his boss, for doing so. Seriously who hasn’t done this?

(other than the unemployed) It’s simple courtesy if nothing less. Huntsman did not, from the sound of this story, compliment Obama to SOMEONE ELSE. He complimented him directly.

He was diplomatic. He was a diplomat, for crying out loud.

There’s no there, there, on this one.

Seriously Huntsman may just be the RINO everyone seems to want him to be, but I still can’t tell.

Huntsman is a “remarkable’ idiot. If the obama situation was the case, a simple “thank you” would suffice and instead he drops down on his knees and kisses Odumbo’s behind with that remark.

As I have already posted: Huntsman is being ran up the flagpole by the liberal media, since conservatives are NOT buying the “great, loved-by-all, front-runner” Mitt Romney stories!

Just say, “NO!”

He worked for Obama. That’s all I need to know. I don’t care how important the job, you don’t work for the scum of the earth whose ambition is to destroy the country. Period.

I propped my eyelids open with toothpicks to get through Huntsman’s interview with Hannity last night. I kept trying to think who he reminded me of, and then it hit me - he’s the Republican Jimmy Carter.
