Huntsman tries to explain calling Obama ‘remarkable’
CNN Political Ticker ^ | June 22, 2011 | Peter Hamby
Washington (CNN) - In an interview after his presidential announcement Tuesday, former Utah governor and ambassador to China Jon Huntsman tried to downplay a letter he wrote to President Barack Obama in August 2009 calling him a “remarkable leader.”
Huntsman told Fox News that he was only alluding to the fact that the president would appoint a Republican to “a position as important and sensitive as the U.S. ambassadorship to China.”

ps. Your posts allude to the fact that you are a Huntsman apologist.
“Im getting impatient. :)”
Learn PATIENCE, Padawan...
The Iowa Filing Deadline isn’t until mid-December.
Thank you!
She has N.B.C. issues as well.
Only if the skirt belongs to Sarah Palin.
Actually, I am quite at peace with myself and the world. No problems in that respect and I’m not worried about defeating Obama. I intend to defeat him by running Sarah Palin as the nominee. I also intend to defeat the Republican party which I’ve come to despise as much as I do Obama. Obama ISN’T the problem. The problem is the entire culture of corruption in Washington. Obama scares you so you’re willing to settle for a candidate that will continue a lesser form of corruption. Read the book Reckless Endangerment and WAKE UP!
What the hell is a social conservative? I don’t believe there’s such thing as a social conservative or fiscal conservative. You’re either a conservative or you’re not.
Oh, bray, are you ever right! I was expecting lightning bolt to come through the ceiling and a finger to write on the wall, “GET OUT OF MY LIBRARY, YOU BUNCH OF LOSERS!”
That would include the mods AND the “debaters.” Gah!
This wss so sad.

Actually, I’m not worried that Sarah will run on a third party ticket. I agree that she is much smarter than to go that route.
Well if you’re hearing things so am I, she just said Rush was coming up. :-)
Good. "Secular" America isn't as large as they think. "Family values" America is larger than they can imagine.
good to hear.....
I’m trying to ignore them! :) I hope to catch some sound-bites of his responses. I just couldn’t be here for the whole debate this time.
Kinda glad. The lib panel would have made me scream! LOL!
