Huckabee Slams ‘Shameful’ Treatment of Obama
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee tells Newsmax that some of his fellow Republicans are calling him a RINO for defending President Barack Obama against personal criticism.
“So be it. It is total hypocrisy for us [Republicans] to rail at the way Bush was treated, and then do the exact same thing. It’s disgusting,” Huckabee said of those who have labeled him as Republican in Name Only. “I care about issues and will fight on those, but just because someone doesn’t think like me doesn’t mean that he or she hates America.”
Speaking at a meeting of the Hudson Union Society to discuss his forthcoming book, “A Simple Christmas,” Huckabee railed at those who had derided the president’s stopover at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware in October as “just a cheap photo op.”
“No, I think it was the commander in chief of our military paying respect to a dead soldier,” Huckabee said. “I’m grateful that he did that, and I was proud of him for doing that. And I think we all –– as Americans –– should give him credit for that.” Huckabee, the top contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, described the treatment Obama gets from Republicans as “shameful.” He castigated fellow Republicans who “want to find everything wrong and nothing right about the man as a man.”
“If you want to say [Obama’s] healthcare policy is going to be terrible for the country, great, I’ll be right with you,” he said. “On cap-and-trade, I’m there with you. The lack of fulfilled promises –– which I can list a host of –– absolutely! [Obama] is vulnerable there, and we ought to challenge him on every bit of that.”
