I Am Not Abandoning Jesus by Having Obama Girl on the 'Huckabee' Show
Fox News ^ | February 15, 2010 | Mike Huckabee

Amber Ettinger is the Obama Girl, made famous from her self-styled YouTube sensation video that depicted her mad crush on then-presidential candidate Barak Obama. After his first year in office, she made a new splash by publicly discussing her disappointment in his presidency.

She was a guest on this show a couple of weeks ago, but her appearance sparked a very strong and mostly critical reaction. Much of the heat was directed at me for what the viewers perceived as abandonment of my Christian principles.

I don't hide the fact that I am a Jesus person -- a true believer in Him. My show will always treat faith in a positive and encouraging way. It's not a religious show, nor is the Fox News Channel a religious network, but our viewers tend to be typical of most Americans, which means they believe in God, traditional moral values and love their families and country.

Miss Ettinger is a very intelligent, courteous and thoughtful person who brilliantly navigated herself from being a young, obscure, aspiring entertainer to a national celebrity by her own clever creativity. Some thought that she was promoting promiscuity. Not at all: She is about political satire, not pornography. Given contemporary culture, her performance as the Obama Girl was actually quite tame and I was pleasantly surprised to find her a highly informed and articulate young person. I honestly wish all voters were so knowledgeable of the issues.

Why doesn’t he just go away.

Unfortunately a huckster won't go away as long as he's making money. That's why so many of us that saw how he really governs in our state call him the Huckster. Sadly, some still think he's a conservative politician.

I’m always amazed that people forget the origin of “big tent” politics.

The phrase means that people of all sorts are welcome under the big top of the party - but the party leadership would remain conservative. Unfortunately, with the RINO monsters that have come to power in the GOP, “big tent” has come to mean “unconservative”.

Reagan was the ultimate big-tent politician. He said “I’m going my conservative way, and you are welcome to come along”, and the vast majority of the country did.

/rant ;-P

I attended a "Willow Creek" church for a time but when the "young, hip" minister had a sermon about the greed in the 80's and began bashing Reagan, I got up and walked out.

I've never returned although still searching for a good, conservative church. I do enjoy watching many programs on TBN/Church Channel including David Jeremiah who reminds me of D. James Kennedy - a great pastor and a great American.

I left a church for the similar reason. When the minister gave a cheer from the pulpit and said that clinton had been found “innocent” I decided that I had had enough.
