Huck says Obama grew up in Kenya

[R.R.]

This was a brilliant "slip" of the tongue. I like Huck.

Leading Republican claims Barack Obama grew up in Kenya

A possible Republican presidential candidate suggested in a radio interview that President Barack Obama's childhood in Kenya shaped his world-view.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told a New York radio station on Monday that Mr Obama's youth led him to resent the West, which he said explains why Mr Obama's foreign policy differs so greatly from that of his predecessors.

"One thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, (is) very different than the average American," Mr Huckabee said, pointing to Mr Obama's decision in 2009 to return a bust of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

"The bust of Winston Churchill, a great insult to the British," Mr Huckabee said. "But then if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather. He probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."

Mr Obama's grandfather, Hussein Onyango Obama, was detained in a 1952 uprising against British colonial rule in Kenya. Mr Huckabee said childhood stories of the Mau Mau rebellion would lead President Obama to want to return the bust of Churchill, who ordered a crackdown against that uprising.

Whoops!

Huckleberry is a moron.

You like him because he tells lies?

Everybody you don't like is a moron and liar, that is why you hate yourself.

"Gov. Mike Huckabee told a New York radio station on
Mon that Mr Obama's youth (childhood in Kenya) led him to resent the West"

very obvious

[R.R.]

Huckleberry is a moron.

You like him because he tells lies?

Obama is a moron.

You like him because he tells lies?

See, your dumb comment is interchangeable with the current boy in the White House.

I like Huck because he knows how to use the media. He got $60 to $70 million worth of free media from this comment to sell his book or run for president or promote his show or to do whatever venture it is he is doing, and he denigrated Obama at the same time. I like that. We need somebody who is not afraid to go after Obama's radical background, unlike McCain was willing to do.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Well, none of Obama's "radical background" had a thing to do with growing up in Kenya. He did not even visit Kenya until he was grown and graduated from college.

The comment about the Mau Mau was more nonsense: the Mau Mau were Kikuyu, Obama's father and grandfather was not Kikuyu, they were Luo.

He lived for a while in Indonesia, then moved to central Kansas, not a place noted for radicalism, where he was raised by his White grandparents.

If you say you admire this clown, it means that you admire lying as a valid method of propagandizing the ignorant.

so the huck made a mistake, how much did that cost the country? since taking office obama has been wrong about the stimulus, health care, the oil rigs in the gulf, and 1,000 other times; how much did that cost the US & and Taxpayers?

[Christians4LessGvt]

more diversion
Kenya...Indonesia
what the hell difference does that make?
the point is EXACTLY the same
he grew up not in the United States

[Xavier_Onassis]

No, the point is Huckabee lied about Obama up in Kenya, hearing tales of Mau Mau resistance at his grandfather's knee: either he said this because he is utterly ignorant, and has no business claiming that he should run this country, or because he is totally deceitful, trying to stir up the kluxers and rednecks against our President. The point is about Huckabee and the fact that he is either an ignorant jerk or a lying jerk. A secondary point is that you are an admirer of said jerk.

President Obama lived in Indonesia from age six to ten. Four years, after which he lived in Kansas.

Kansas?

Maybe you are like Huckabee....lying too?....or when you make a mistake it is a
mistake, but if Huckabee makes a mistake he is lying?

In 1971 Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents after
his Mom abandoned him...Obama attended Punahou School, a private college
preparatory school from the fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.

If you were genuinely bothered by lying you never ever would vote for a Democrat, and that most definitely includes your boy Obama.

[Xavier_Onassis]

You are a total moron and never make even a teensy bit of sense.

Says the idiot who is wrong 99.999% of the time.

  This is a pretty big error, I doubt it was done on purpose because it is so embarassing to be so wrong on something that would be so easy to check.

   And built on top of the basic error is a complete essay that supposes a lot about the President in a pop psycology style, this bothers me worse than the error itself.

    I like Huckabee , I like his show and I like his viewpoint , this error and the castle in the air that was built on it is the worst thing I know about him. If he runs for President my vote for him would be dependant on his opponent having a worse problem. Like being a Democrat or something.
