Appearing on the Fox News Channel's top-rated O'Reilly Factor this evening, former Arkansas Governer Mike Huckabee (R) suggested that President Barack Obama be challenged to prove whether he was treated as a "foreign student" in college.
Huckabee made the remark in the context of a discussion with host Bill O'Reilly on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, dithering over releasing his tax returns.
Huckabee, who ran for president in 2008, urged Romney to say that he would release his tax returns when Obama released his college transcripts--and his college admissions records to show whether Obama received loans as a "foreign student."
While some will accuse Huckabee of going 'birther', others will understand that Huckabee is referring to Obama being adopted and raised for a time in Indonesia by his mother's second husband, Lolo Soetoro, and whether Obama went to college as an Indonesian citizen to get advantageous treatment.
Expect the leftist media to have a conniption fit over this.
The issue of Obama refusing to release his college records was revisted this week by Fox's White House reporter Ed Henry who asked Obama spokesman Jay Carney about it at a daily briefing. Carney brushed off the question. Henry did not ask whether Obama went to college as a foreign student.
If it turns out Obama did go to college as a foreign student, it would lend credence to the argument that he does not meet the Constitutional mandate for natural born citizenship to be president.
The Rules don’t apply to Rats...
Did kmow it all O’Reilly yawn.
Huck is a nice guy, but he occasionally gets his digs in...
ruh-roh. Now see, this is something Newt would say to the media when it comes down to one to one against Obama. Romney would stick his finger in the air and test the direction of the media wind and NOT SAY A WORD. Ever.
Go Huckabee! I was watching, am still watching O’Reilly . . . I guess I better back up on the DVR and hear it.
BOR is going to play the clip of BO singing. He must have been drunk. I saw it on something earlier- really strange.
I’m sorry but that is an awfully big couch for those two to be sitting so close to each other. Wouldn’t most men move the clutter on that one end to the center and sit there instead?
Newt is a fearless warrior who will not shrink from airing the stinking load of soiled laundry that is the Obama administration. He will not be silenced, he cannot be intimidated, he stubbornly refuses to be controlled. He will say that which they dread to hear. He is their worst nightmare sprung to life.
No, not if they ‘re a couple of queers.
From the article: “.....lend credence to the argument that he does not meet the constitutional mandate for natural born citizenship to be president.”
Neither “credence” nor the “argument” will be entertained by the media certainly, and so far neither will the qualifying entities who are suppose to oversee these qualifications of candidates.
Yes it is totally creepy AND it was published in the New York Times, a publication that would probably not think it was totally creepy.
Surprised me too.
If by "conniption fit" you mean "completely ignore it" then I agree.
It would be great if this question could get some wheels but I'm not holding my breath.
i’ve always suspected this was what Zero was hoping to hide - lies on his college application.
Wow! This is big! Huckabee really said that?
First the GA judge ruled that soetoro/soebarkah/obama has to appear in court to show his bc etc., now Hackabee openly challenges obozo’s college records?
All it takes is one honest official with the power to do the right thing, and the rest will follow!
Obozo is getting it from all sides - people, courts, media. The dam is bursting!
It was at the end of the segment. O’Reilly didn’t comment on it.
I heard that! I’m going to have to take back some of the things I’ve thought about Huckleberry in the past.
Saw it. O’really did not respond to it.
