Leading Republican claims Barack Obama grew up in Kenya (uh oh, Huck)
The Telegraph ^ | 3-2-11

A possible Republican presidential candidate suggested in a radio interview that President Barack Obama's childhood in Kenya shaped his world-view – even though Mr Obama did not visit Kenya until he was in his 20s.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told a New York radio station on Monday that Mr Obama's youth led him to resent the West, which he said explains why Mr Obama's foreign policy differs so greatly from that of his predecessors.

"One thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, (is) very different than the average American," Mr Huckabee said, pointing to Mr Obama's decision in 2009 to return a bust of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

You know The Huckster doesn’t belong in the campaign when he knows less about Obama’s history than the average Freeper.

Ain’t that the truth.

The opportunist has just been opportuning for himself,
bereft of any real knowledge ‘cept how much he likes
the sound of his own opinions and voice.

This story repeats the same error that the AP story made by claiming Obama spent the first five years of his life in Hawaii. Ummmm, no, about two of those years were in Washington state.

Who knows where he grew up. He seems fabricated.

He is the kind of Republican that reinforces the stereotype of the dumb conservative.
