In a radio interview on Monday, potential 2012 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee repeatedly claims that President Obama grew up in Kenya.
A spokesman for Huckabee later told CBS News that the former Arkansas governor misspoke.
In an interview on WOR's "The Steve Malzberg Show," Huckabee made reference to Mr. Obama's "having grown up in Kenya" and spoke of him growing up "with a Kenyan father and grandfather" - despite the fact that Mr. Obama grew up largely in Hawaii and barely knew his father at all.
In responding to Malzberg's question about whether "we deserve to know more about this man" and his origins, Huckabee responded that "I would love to know more."
"What I know is troubling enough," Huckabee said of the president. "And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American."
A spokesman for Huckabee later said the former governor "meant to say the President grew up in Indonesia."
In the interview, Huckabee also pointed to the fact that Mr. Obama in 2009 returned a bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy, describing the act as "a great insult" to the British. (He did not mention that the bust had been on loan.)
What exactly classifies Sarah Palin as a ‘retread’ and who is YOUR new, better candidate and why?
I agree with you. I was trying to remember where I read the article or thread and if there was truth to it.
I personally don’t care what color he is or what he portrays himself to be. I just want him exposed for the treasonous and fraudulent assumption of the Office of POTUS.
Cut the crap or go back to DU.
How come you never say “ Why do Democrats hate African Americans?”
They have kept them on one kind of plantation or another for over 300 years.
The Dems had the slaves, steered Reconstruction, passed the Jim Crow laws, and kept blacks as second class citizens for 100 years after the Civil War. Bull Connor was a Dem.
The Dems have never allowed a black to be the head of the DNC or to be a House whip.
Yeah, but 95% of blacks pull the lever for Dems all the time.
And the issue about Obama is that he is ineligible to be President as he was not born of two American citizens. Period.
Only a mental midget would return a bust of Churchill to Britain. Why not return the desk in the
oval Office—it is made of timbers from the HMS Resolute.
Doesn’t that offend the Great Peacemaker, too?
His color—he is 8% black by the way—has nothing to do with it. He is a Muslim Communist usurper and he hates this country.
Take that chip on your shoulder over to Arianna Huffington.
Thanks Mozilla.
I believe he should be in government. How 'bout the new President make him Ambassador to South Carolina? In charge of distributin' Bibles to Trailer Parks?
I like Ole Huck. Who the hell ever told him that the President job was opening up? Wrong guy for the job.
You believe that Obama is not eligible to be president because he was not born of two American citizens.
With all due respect sir, that is nonsense.
If the Republican party peddles this nonsense at the next election, it will not only lose the election but deserve to lose the election.
We need to take a step back. Reagan would not have stood for this.
Here is a link I saved: Obama, Arab American liar
No, it is not nonsense. It is the Constitution. That is the definition of natural born.
Not naturalized.
Not native born.
But natural born.
And Obama is not. I am not. We both are ineligible to be President.
That’s the breaks.
The Supreme Court has defined in four decisions what a natural born citizen is. You can start your research with the Venus case and go from there.
You need to study harder, my friend.
And Reagan would never have stood for a usurper in the White House.
Such deception is a problem. He pretends he is something he is not. Even if 95% of the blacks vote or him, we can at least put a dent in the voting behavior of others by exposing his many lies.
Joseph Farah is full Arab. I would certainly vote for him!
What is wrong with being an Arab? (Assuming that Obama is Arab).
Nobody chooses how he/she is born.
That aside, anyone who knows anything about Africa understands that Sub-Saharan Africa has a significant Muslim population. So Muslim does not equal Arab.
When I was growing up I heard about a certain Rev. Mohammed. There are scores of African muslims that convert to Christianity. So that is not a big deal.
But even if Obama is a muslim, is that against the US constitution?
Am I correct? There were lots of Viet Nam babies with American dads who did not qualify for American citizenship.
Kenya, Indonesia, we all know what he meant. Obama didn’t grow up here; he didn’t grow up in America.
I would go further & say that his odd syntax, malaprops, & way of speaking & mispronunciations, are because ENGLISH WAS NOT HIS FIRST LANGUAGE.
Well either Huck or Sary Pal. First time the GOP ever put a redneck up for president.
ZOT!
While Obama’s dislike of Brits must come from somewhere, somehow, I doubt he developed his disdain for Brits from his experience, if he had any, in Hawaii.
I’m thinking Indonesia, or Kenya, would be the prime suspect nations, where he learned to despise Brits.
As an “insider,” Huck may be privy to info many have suspected all along. If he has private info, he has an obligation make it known. Having thrown this bone, he needs to be able to confirm it. If he can’t, or won’t, then he will suffer even less credibility.
Huck may be an appeaser, a compromiser, and a RINO, but, is he an idiot? (You all can be the judge). Either way, he has some ‘splainin’ to do, regarding this tidbit.
What about it Huck?
PS The AP either lied (you all be the judge,) or was grossly mistaken, regarding the fate of the Churchill bust. Since last I learned, Obama returned it to the British Embassy.
Thank you!
Sleeper troll goes night-night.
