How about we figure out what Huntsman is about, before drawing conclusions.
My impression has always been that Obama picked Huntsman as US Ambassador to the PRC, *specifically* to eliminate him as a possible competitor in 2012.
That seems like a character reference, not a fault.
Are you opposed to doing your own research or incapable of it?
In 2007, in response to the problem of global warming, Huntsman signed the Western Climate Initiative, by which Utah joined with other governments in agreeing to pursue targets for reduced production of greenhouse gases.He also appeared in an advertisement sponsored by Environmental Defense, in which he said, “Now it’s time for Congress to act by capping greenhouse-gas pollution.”
And his entire family tree is too good for military service.
Oh, and he is “comfortale” with a mandate that individuals be forced to buy healthcare.
I know what he’s about,,, and have drawn a conclusion. And he looks like a metrosexual
Here's something for starters: news/us_politics/view.bg?articleid=1339432&srvc=rss Doesn't go directly to link, so I posted text here.
N.H. Republicans slam Jon Huntsman’s push for illegals’ rights,
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman — in New Hampshire this weekend to test the waters for a possible run for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination — is coming under fire from Granite State Republicans for supporting in-state tuition breaks for illegal immigrants in his home state.
Huntsman, who was slated to give the commencement address today at Southern New Hampshire University, supported a 2002 law in Utah that allows illegal immigrants to pay lower rates at state colleges if they graduate from a Utah high school or get a high school equivalency degree. The former governor, who recently stepped down as ambassador to China — a post he was appointed to by President Obama — battled his own party’s efforts to overturn the law in 2007.
Not a concern, of course, if one doesn't see the presently undeclared, but possible implicit support for "comprehensive immigration reform". I suspect where this level of sympathy exists, something larger looms in his mind.
Hmm...ok...I'll play.
But Huntsman ACCEPTED the position.
