He may not be the next president, but he’s a savior to at least one.
Former Arkanas Gov. Mike Huckabee performed the Heimlich maneuver on a choking Robert Pittenger during Saturday’s North Carolina GOP convention breakfast, Huckabee’s former campaign spokeswoman confirmed Sunday.
Huckabee was the keynote speaker at the convention, and was sitting next to the Pittenger, who’s running for the lieutenant governor’s seat, when Pittenger began choking.
Huckabee noticed Pittenger couldn’t breathe and took action, giving Pittenger the heave in the chest needed to dislodge the offending food bit.
“I’m glad that Mike was in the right place at the right time and continued to lead by example,” former South Carolina Lt. Gov. candidate Mike Campbell told The Palmetto Scoop. “We all know that [Huckabee] is pro-life, and once again he has lived up to it.”

Not a big fan of Hucakbee, but if this had been performed by Obama, we would never hear the end of it.
I’m not a fan of Huckabee, either, but I say good for him.
This will get nowhere near the press coverage that the Obamas
‘fist bump’ got.
I’m not a Huckabee supporter, but kudos to him. Anyone who can keep a cool head in a situation like that earns respect.
Obama helps only those who are swooning. Of course, he doesn’t help them personally; he calls for an attendant.
First, Obama would ask the victim’s political affiliation.
Obama would be outside having a cigarette.
It will take more than that to saw the RINO party. I believe it is dead.Last one out turn off the light when you leave.
Obama: “Hey, somebody, there’s a man choking over here. Could somebody help him? I think it happened when the lady in front of him fainted.”
if this had been performed by Obama
IF? The guy was white, he probably would be standing there saying “yeah whitey, your chicken is coming to roost!!” and watch the guy turn a deeper shade of soul...
Note: sarcasm dripping from this post...
Let’s give this decent fellow a chance to save our country. Huckabee for President!
