Updated 5:36 p.m. Eastern Time In a radio interview on Monday, potential 2012 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee repeatedly made false claims that President Obama grew up in Kenya. A spokesman for Huckabee later told CBS News that the former Arkansas governor misspoke. In an interview on WOR's "The Steve Malzberg Show," Huckabee made reference to Mr. Obama's "having grown up in Kenya" and spoke of him growing up "with a Kenyan father and grandfather" - despite the fact that Mr. Obama grew up largely in Hawaii and barely knew his father at all. In responding to Malzberg's question about whether "we deserve to know more about this man" and his origins, Huckabee responded that "I would love to know more." "What I know is troubling enough," Huckabee said of the president. "And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American." The exchange was circulated by liberal media watchdog Media Matters. A spokesman for Huckabee later said the former governor "meant to say the President grew up in Indonesia." "When the Governor mentioned he wanted to know more about the President, he wasn't talking about the President's place of birth - the Governor believes the President was born in Hawaii," Hogan Gidley said in a statement to CBS News. "The Governor would however like to know more about where President Obama's liberal policies come from and what else the President plans to do to this country - as do most Americans." In the interview, Huckabee also pointed to the fact that Mr. Obama in 2009 returned a bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy, describing the act as "a great insult" to the British. (He did not mention that the bust had been on loan.) "If you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather," he said. There is no evidence that the president grew up in Kenya, and various reports show he spent little time with his father over the course of his life. According to a New York Times report detailing the president's Kenyan roots, Mr. Obama has visited Kenya only three times, most recently in 2006. According to the president's 1995 memoir "Dreams from My Father," he visited Kenya for the first time in the late 1980s after his father was already dead. Indeed, Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii and spent much of his childhood there with his mother and his mother's family. He also lived in Indonesia from 1967-1971. In "Dreams From My Father," Mr. Obama writes about his experience coming to terms with the absence of a strong paternal presence in his life. Nevertheless, a small faction of Americans known as "birthers" continue to dispute Mr. Obama's American citizenship, despite the fact that the claim has been repeatedly debunked. When asked if he would bring up the "birther" issue with Mr. Obama in a presidential debate, Huckabee expressed doubts. "The only reason I'm not as confident that there's something about the birth certificate, Steve, is because I know the Clintons," Huckabee said. "And believe me, they had lots of investigators out on him, and I'm convinced if there was anything that they could have found on that, they would have found it, and I promise they would have used it."

Thus proving beyond any doubt that the Huckster is an idiot.
"Am I for or against abstinence?" - Sarah Palin
Maybe he can get a gig playing at The Donald's inauguration.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... How does Lucy Maidson, the author know this? She has no proof. Oh wait is she the long Obama delivery doctor? It is now noted that CBS is in the tank for the Kenyan. I know it was already a known fact.
I honestly didn't know this was ever in doubt. I AM shocked that he was allowed to take these talking points out on a radio interview without having anybody review them,though. The Huckster ain't new to this. He is a experienced politician,and would be expected to have ran everything past a handler first.
"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.

But now the ONLY place you can watch 2 1/2 Men is FOX Syndicated. And they're pushing it BigTime. As Sheen still making the big bucks. What to do with Sheen. What to do with Qaddafi. "Despite the “Lockerbie” attack on Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988 it seems as though the required help arrived since production increased to around 1.4 Mb/d during the 1990s. Despite this increase, there was still the possibility of further expansion but that would require the advanced technologies possessed by the international oil companies and could not occur in secret. The September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001 opened doors for Gaddafi and he played his cards well. In a French documentary recently broadcast in Sweden one could see how keen were all those from the West who wanted access to Libya’s oil. The highpoint for Gaddafi was when he was invited to meet President Bush. The result of the West’s efforts was that oil production began to increase in 2004 and now lies at around 1.8 Mb/d. Libya’s domestic consumption is low at, maybe, 100,000 barrels per day so most of Libya’s oil is exported to the West. The total volume of world oil production that is exported is a little under 50 Mb/d and Libya’s share of this is a bit over 3%." http://www.energybulletin.net/st...9s-current-oil-production
It's true that there is very little in the way of documentation concerning the current white house resident. However there is a record of his attending school in Indonesia as a child, and his religion being listed as muslim. Also a picture of him at a school in Hawaii, as a teenager. Where he was born is unknown. There is little doubt that his alleged father was a British Kenyan, and never a US citizen. It's possible that no one knows for sure who his real father is. I buy the story that huck misspoke and meant to say that hO grew up in Indonesia. That's true, at least for his early years.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... The false Christian named Huck did not confuse the two, Indonesia was never British. This shows that he believes or is pushing the line that because Obama's father was anti British Colonialism Obama - who did not know his father - is through genetic memory anti White. That's the mind fuck Huckabee is playing with on the rubes he hopes will support him so that when president Huckabee can make white people poorer as Bush by soothing their racist natures.

Gasoline wholesale has never been at $3 before. Wonder when the Huck will find time to talk about that. Before or after we start dropping bombs on the rebels in Libya.
But, this time it's "humanitarian aid", and not something evil like Bush spreading mob rule (democracy). hO is going to aid the Libyans, by dropping humanitarian bombs on them. Could a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, just ignore all that oil in need of liberation?
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... What's up with all these UFO sightings?
Could a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, just ignore all that oil in need of liberation? Or gold in Goma? "The Gulfstream in our earlier story, busted with a half-ton of pure cocaine two years ago in the West African nation of Guinea Bissau, was blamed by UN officials for precipitating a violent coup in that country that left it with the unenviable reputation as “ Africa’s first narco-state.” Now another American-registered Gulfstream, this one grounded in the Congo’s strife-torn but mineral-rich eastern region, appears to be having a similar disquieting effect. One other striking similarity between the two stories is the kid glove media treatment being accorded some of the principals in the case. In defiance of the Congolese government's mining ban, designed to cut off funds being used to fuel the conflict in that strife-torn country, the international gold-smuggling ring is making regular flights into Goma exchanging cash for gold. And they aren't making any bones about it, either. A philanththopist, a felon, Tom DeLay & Edwin Edwards..."
