Huckabee Defends Obama … and the Rev. Wright
ABC News
March 19, 2008 8:53 PM
After joking that he's leasing a hot dog stand in Manhattan, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on MSNBC's Morning Joe early this morning defended Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., on the Rev. Wright front.
And, in fact, he defended Rev. Wright, too.
You can watch it HERE.
MIKE HUCKABEE: There are two different stories -- one is Obama’s reaction, the other one is the Rev. Wright’s speech itself. And I think that, you know, Obama has handled this about as well as anybody could. And I agree, it’s a very historic speech. I think that it was an important one and one that he had to deliver, and he couldn’t wait. The sooner he made it, maybe the quicker that this becomes less of the issue. Otherwise, it was the only thing that was the issue in his entire campaign. And I thought he handled it very, very well.

==========================================
Mike Huckabee has no credibility whatsoever. I will not vote for him. He is a tax and spend.

(sigh) Huckabee sounds just like a Baptist minister here. On Barack Hussein Obama's speech:
And he made the point, and I think it's a valid one, that you can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do. You just can't -- whether it's me, whether it's Obama, anybody else. But he did distance himself from the very vitriolic statements.
Sure you can. Else you don't hire that person as a campaign consultant - they ARE responsible for what's said. And he didn't "distance himself" at all from Wright, he actually defended him.
I can see now why the Huckster lost, and why so many were happy when he did lose.

Huck, when you sit there and listen to that filth for 20 years, that speaks of your character. That's what concerns normal people.

Well, this IS a guy who seems to like Rev. Hagee.
