Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) is somehow still confused over the nationality and background of President Barack Obama.
Huckabee appeared on The O’Reilly Factor Friday evening to discuss the growing story of Mitt Romney unveiling his tax returns, saying the GOP candidate should do that based solely on one condition.
This isn’t the first time Huckabee has sorely lacked knowledge on Obama’s history. Last February, he wrongly claimed that Obama“grew up in Kenya.”
COH please.
You just don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Laugh because of either the willful ignorance of Huckabee or his apparent complete and total ignorance.
Cry, because of the fact that these people can spread this crap with either open contempt for the truth or ignorantly spreading the same to a group of pablum happy ignoramuses.
I don't believe huck is ignorant. He's just using more of the 'Dog whistle' tactics the cons know their base responds to.
Either way, remaining on the birther road is just plain pathetic!
PBO was in Indonesia from the age of 6 thru 10 (1st thru 4th grade). He was too old to become a citizen outright and Indonesian Law at that time [Law No. 62/1958 (UU No. 62 Tahun 1958)] required you to be 21 with 5 yrs residency and give up (renounce) any other citizenship.

Anyone with a grade school education can see that wasn't possible.
For someone such as Mike Huckabee to ask for college transcripts and copies of college admission forms to determine whether PBO rec'd loans as a foreign student is shameful and laughable at the same time.
Mike Huckabee is a "moran".

Huckabee used to be a Baptist preacher, so this will be topical:
Matthew 7:15-23
Everyone knew what he really meant -- "Affirmative action! Affirmative action! Some deserving white student lost his shot at college because of affirmative action! Obama can't possibly have done anything he's accomplished on his own merit."
Everyone knew what he really meant -- "Affirmative action! Affirmative action!
Hence the 'Dog whistle' trex.
I believe Rev. Huckabee is doing the same thing Mrs. Palin is doing...trying to appeal to presidential candidates as a possible anti-Obama, controversial, true conservative, Vice Presidential candidate.
Huckabee: Obama was a 'foreign student'
Suckamee, I mean Huckabee will say just about anything to get Obama out of office. He doesn't want to lose all his tax cuts and breaks that he has been getting under the republican administration for all the past years. Some of those tax breaks the rich were getting under the Bush administration is coming to an end, and this is why the republicans want Obama out of office. They want to renew them so they an continue robbing the poor and the rest of the taxpayers so people like Suckamee, I mean Huckabee can keep all his riches and live off the rest of us.
People like Suckamee, I mean Huckabee are leeches. They live and feed off the rest of us and preach to the stupid about the invisible man that's going to save you.
Charlatans = Huckabee, Santorum, Romney, Gingrich, Bachmann
“Let him make this challenge,” he said. “I’ll release my tax returns when Barack Obama releases his college transcripts and the copy of his admission records to show whether he got any loans as a foreign student.”
*scratches head*.... I know there was a whistle there someplace....
Now then, when I hear Mike Huckleberry says this, or that, or the other delusional item of the day- my reaction is about the same as when someone interviews Sarah Failin on a topic.
WHO CARES?!?! They are NOT relevant to the conversation and all either one of them knows how to do is whip talking points and lies out like candy.
Huckabee. Isn't he that LOSER from the last Presidential race? The one OBAMA WON?
Oh, dear. Poor Mike Huckabee. Dropped out of the Presidential race in 08 and can't re-enter it ever because of Wayne Dumond.
Reduced to sniping at a sitting President with racist horse-@!$%# that has been, repeatedly, disproven. Carole Shields would likely be disgusted, if she were still alive.
If Huckabee is trying to dig up old dirt on Obama, just repeat the two names I've listed above to his face. He will shut the @!$%# up pretty quick.
Does the Huckster have his own birth certificate handy and are we sure its not a forgery???
This is called a red herring.
Like yelled "SQUIRREL!!!" at Teapublican crowd.
Way to distract fools from GOP candidates tearing each other apart in furball.
What a dumb ass thing to say... so President Obama is the ONLY U.S. President to attend school in another country...
correct me if i am wrong but didn't most of our founding fathers some of them Presidents also was educated in another country?
82nd
Airborne!
correct me if i am wrong but didn't most of our founding fathers some of them Presidents also was educated in another country?
But, but, but, they were......
smiling thanks.
lol and to think i believe one of them could be credited with starting the public school system, at that time the first such thing. think his initials was TJ
Huckabee: Obama was a 'foreign student' | The Raw Story
damn, Huckabee forgot the lube again.
I watched Huckabee question whether Obama was admitted to Harvard as a "foreign student" and I went slack-jawed. Is there no end to the sleaze at FOX? They must pay a pretty penny to get a "man of God" to bear false witness.
#2 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:02 PM ESTHuckabee is just a typical Southern White Baptist. They are all alike. LOL
Huckabee is not a MAN OF GOD he is a HYPOCRITE..... a Presidential LOSER and a RACIST for continuing this birther lie......
timotayo, They must pay a pretty penny to get a "man of God" to bear false witness
they ain't lying, they are as they like to say "just preaching".
Why is Huckabee allowed to have a Politican endorsement show on National TV. Shouldn't the Democrats have equal time?
The FCC needs to find a way to get these political shows off the airways. The Republicans have at least four (4) shows that are mostly Republican campaign LIES. That has be against some law.
Actually it is not illegal because the first admendment gives every citizen the right to free speach it doesn't say that he has tell the truth. Our supreme court Judges hide behind this right all the time. I don't know whether it is the Person or the corporation telling the LIE but it doesnt matter any more because the Supreme Court has decided that they are equal.
The endless line of Republican liars never ceases to amaze. Huckleberry is just another in a long line of 'em. Hey, Huck. Just so's ya know, Christ is listening and I don't believe He/She likes, probably abhors, everything you are. Course He didn't actually whisper that in my ear like He does you, so who am I to know?
#3 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:35 PM ESTHere is something "Pastor" Huckabee should think about. "You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness." Exodus 23:1
Like many Christians in this country I am praying for Mike Huckabee to consider where he was and how far he has fallen.
#4 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:44 PM ESTHere is something "Pastor" Huckabee should think about. "You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness." Exodus 23:1
Stevie, I wish I could vote several times on your comment, but I'll just say AMEN!
Maybe we should all send him an e-mail on Monday with the same scripture passage, in reference to his statement. Better yet send the message every day for a month.
Here is something else Pastor Huckabee should remember:
Letting a convicted rapist out of prison in order to score a cheap political point. I don't know if there is a fancy Biblical quote for doing this, but there is a body count for Mr. Huckabee. Carole Shields, who would be alive today if "Pastor" Huckabee hadn't let someone out of prison in order to get in a cheap shot in at Bill Clinton.
I think "Pastor" Huckabee should shut up.
Now.
I think "Pastor" Huckabee should shut up
And humble himself before the LORD and repent.
somebody needs to give hukabee the definition of a foreign student: when you leave the land of your birth and travel to another country for an education then you are a foreign student. it's not against the law. amanda knox was a foreign student, his point is? i was a foreign student when i lived in london and attended the university of london. it's not illegal.
#5 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:45 PM ESTHuckabee is certainly not ignorant and I feel he knew exactly what he was saying was wrong. What Republicans like this know is that rumors like this spread quickly and seem to take on a life of their own. That's exactly what they're counting on. During the 2008 campaign, a very intelligent friend told me this and much more about Obama. I asked her where she got her information. She said she read it on the internet. Needless to say, I don't think she's so intelligent anymore. This was a calculated move on the part of not only Huckabee, but many,many other Republicans. It's their dirty politics they're so famous for.
#6 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:55 PM ESTHuckabee knows what the is doing. He knows that Obama is a citizen. He is counting on his dumb ass FOx supporters to believe that lie.
#7 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 5:55 PM ESTWhy would anyone listen to him anyway? I am noticing a swing though. People are getting damn tired of the bs being thrown out by the republican candidates. They are beginning to see that it was not about this country at all. The hate rhetoric is starting to get to even those that have been repulicans all of their lives. Now they are angry as to what their party has sunk too. The voting booth will be the telling thing. I remember before the last election those rejoicing becasue they thought that they had it in the bag.. Found out the SILENT majority spoke loud and clear. This time we must not remain silent. We need to get the facts out there not the damn spin. One last thing I am tired of hearing is the "liberal" media. The owners lean very right. I am tired of what is called jouralism . Back in the day they reported the facts..
#9 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 6:23 PM ESTSharon their is no liberal media no anymore in the 60's the media became liberal by telling the truth about occupy movement. Today are media is corporate and not real journalism.
Fox's Huckleberry Hound attempts to sniff out new quarry, comes up empty, desperate to serve his master, he howls at the cow jumping over the moon, gets rewarded with a juicy bone, good boy Huck, good boy.
#10 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 6:25 PM ESTI'm in agreement with T-800 that this is just another 'wagging the bone' in front of ignorant Repubs and voters who just believe everything the GOP say is true. They been spreading the Birther lie for years and by now, I bet most ignorant GOPers believe it to be true. Donna's friend is an example how ignorant people can easily fall for these lies, and these are the people the GOP is hoping will tip the scale in their favor. I hope most voters this November are not this ignorant.
#11 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:10 PM ESTIt never fails to amaze me that one political party has attracted so many dumb ignorant members. They really have to work overtime to put together statements as outlandish as they continue to spout.
If nothing else this election year is going to produce entertainment like the world has never seen. And to think I have actually voted Republican on occasion. It is embarrassing to admit that in light of the current crop of fools.
#12 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:51 PM ESTIf I were a registered republican and were watching this clown college of nitwits and idiots putting on a "I can be dumber than you" show, I would renounce my affiliation to that party as quickly as I could get to my local election office.
This group is clearly attempting to get to the lowest least common intellectual denominator. They have brought the level of our political discourse, which never soared into the stratosphere, down into a mudhole.
#13 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:39 PM ESTWhy am I not surprised that he is still pushing this nonsense?
#14 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:41 PM ESTSo, Obama, has nothing to worry about....right? So, why get your pants in a wad over something you think is false? Ignore it and go have a beer!
#15 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:48 PM ESTSo Obama has nothing to worry about....
I doubt that President Obama has anything to worry about, what I worry about is the manner in which Mike Huckabee is blaspheming the Name of the Lord by spreading falsehoods.
So, Obama, has nothing to worry about....right? So, why get your pants in a wad over something you think is false? Ignore it and go have a beer!
No, we on the left should not ignore the falsehood (lies) coming from the mouthpieces of people who do speak for the GOP.
To ignore them is to give them power as then they will claim that we are some how afraid of their so called truth without one shred of evidence of their statements.
I have to wonder why the rank and file of the GOP do not stand up and claim that the people who claim to represent the GOP/teaparty (Huckabee, Palin, and the rest) do not speak for the GOP when they spew their rhetoric and hate mongering?
I don't think that Obama is at all worried about what Huckabee says or does he is a tool of the extreme right wing who was rejected by the moderate right wing voters a long time ago.
Hmmm Beer.
Dear Mikey...please climb back under an Arkansian rock...where you belong.
#17 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:07 PM ESTIgnorant southern pudnocker the result of to much interbreeding
#18 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:42 PM ESTMaybe it would be easier for to the Huckster to combine his talking points into>> Obama was born in a foreign college. Who needs Gomer Pyle's opinion?
#19 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:48 PM ESTI don't believe Obamas Certified Birth Certificate to be authentic, reason is that the fathers race is stated as African, ....... in 1961 I don't think the term African would have been used, it kind of fishy.
It took him 2.5 yeard to realease it.
His college papers haven't been released, its not a requirement yet it would calm many minds. It does seen to me if Huckabee wants the loan infor that should be availible under the Freedom of Information Act, yet those records may not exist.
What will Americans do if it ever come to light in the future that Barrack Obama did not meet the criteria to be president after the fact. The problem with this president is the spread the wealth thing. His first month in office he increased the US committment to the IMF from 4 billion to 100 Billion annually. During the middle of the BP oil spill Obama gave 3 billion to Brazil to develope its off shore drilling, in 3 times the depth of the BP oil well.
Obama has lied time and time again, google his lies, there are many and proven lies. He is the worst president America has had since Jimmy Carter.
#21 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 10:56 PM ESTPlease don't vote for Obama then. Choose from the random candidates the GOP has put up. The Democratic party doesn't need your negativism and right wing talking points.
Ashleigh.... lol
Dubya and the 2 wars off the books, not to mention all the shenanigans pulled during his tenure is better than Obama? Remember him? The one who LEFT Obama the mess that he's been trying to clean up DESPITE the repugs best efforts to stop/obstruct him every damn step of the way??
I can't believe you probably typed that with a straight face.
I don't believe Obamas Certified Birth Certificate to be authentic,
Well, I don't believe your issue with Obama's birth certificate is anything but race-baiting.
It took him 2.5 yeard to realease it.
That was only after 2.5 years of relentless racist speculation that Obama wasn't really from America. Where was John McCain's birth certificate? Where was George W. Bush's birth certificate?
Where's Ronald Reagan's birth certificate?
How come the first time this comes up in modern history, it's the guy who isn't white?
The answer is, because "birtherism" is just racism, trying to dress up as someone respectable.
I don't believe Obamas Certified Birth Certificate to be authentic, reason is that the fathers race is stated as African, ....... in 1961 I don't think the term African would have been used, it kind of fishy.
Really? Still on the 'birther' kick are we?
His college papers haven't been released, its not a requirement yet it would calm many minds.
Doubtful. If he did release them, they, and obviously you, would find something at fault with them too.
What will Americans do if it ever come to light in the future that Barrack Obama did not meet the criteria to be president after the fact.
Do you realize the conspiracy it would take, and the number of people required to pull that off? If McCain, and the rest of the GOP could have found anything in '07-'08 to back that claim up, don't you think they would have shouted it far and wide, or were they in on it too?
Get a grip. The only reason you people cling to this birther BS, is because Obama is 'Different' than you are. Could be his name, could be his skin color, or both. That's it.
No other president in the history of our country has been subjected to this. No other white President anyway. Thanks for exposing yourself for all to see.
birthers and truthers are inherently brain damaged. They might as well be braindead for all the difference it makes.
reason is that the fathers race is stated as African, ....... in 1961 I don't think the term African would have been used, it kind of fishy.
Well, it would be very unusual for "African" to be used under those circumstances today. The only circumstance I can see in which "African" would be used either now or then would be if the father were...you know...African. As in, from Africa.
#22 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:03 PM ESTof course, he WAS from Africa (not that it makes a DIFFERENCE)
Hmmm, appears to be a creative end run on the old birth certificate problem listeners to Fox News have.
If he applied for student aid as a foreign student, then he wasn't born in the U.S.
#23 - Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:13 PM ESTWanna know the difference between Obama supporters and the rest of us? If Obama wins in November then life will go on as usual, just like it did in 2008. But if he loses... There will be rioting & looting in every major American city, liberals screaming RACISM 24/7, white people afraid to come out of their homes, etc. Think I'm full of it? You just wait and see.
Lol bobalou
If Obama was installed by scotus the way Bush was we wouldn't be talking right now we'd be in civil war.....Please do tell in your limbaugh inspired thinking, who would be rioting? be specific...
Seriously Randy, you can't be that naive. Either that or you know I'm not allowed to be specific anymore in this land of free speech. ;)
Its a free country, and you are pretty opaque... as I said we'd e in civil war right now because if Obama got into office the way Bush did.... and the community you are denigrating voted 90% for the other guy, a mere 6% less than they voted for this president, and oddly enough/s/, no riots ensued. where do you base your statement, besides something rush blew out his cornhole
I'm saying that the kind of people who support Obama are not true Americans. They just happened to be born in America (well some of them anyway). They don't believe in Democracy, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, etc. They believe in a welfare state that sustains itself through wealth redistribution. They're lazy, and have absolutely nothing in common with Americans from times past who built and fought for this nation and made it great.
They believe in getting their way no matter the cost. Lying, cheating, stealing... these are people with no moral code whatsoever. You ever see what happens in a third world country after an election? All the killing, raping & pillaging. It's coming to a city near you in 2012 if Obama loses.
I'm saying that the radical reactionaries who hate Obama are not true Americans..
Full of it? You're bursting at the seams and ready to pop like a festering boil.
I'm saying that the kind of people who support Obama are not true Americans.
F U!!
I have been a true American for 65 years and I support Obama, not 100%, but enough to tell you should go hide in a very dark place, befitting your attitude.
Vietnam Vet 1996 - have you served, or are you just an internet patriot?
Wow Michael, who were you fighting in Vietnam in 1996? Cuz I got out in 98 and we hadn't been at war with anyone since 91. Oh, I understand, you're a liberal who gets his numbers mixed up. Like that never happens... LOL
Sorry, you pissed me off so bad I miss typed - 1966.
we hadn't been at war with anyone since 91
Well, I also know my history:
And before you get all pissy about some of the above not being declared a "war", the Vietnam War was never declared as a war, either.
Of course, you may have mistyped also, so give me your best shot to excuse your ignorance.
Dude, you're just an old hippie fart with mental burnout. And if you did serve in Vietnam then you're a loser who made excuses and couldn't get the job done. In either case, I'm done with you.
Thank you for your service to this country Michael.
Sorry, you pissed me off so bad I miss typed - 1966.
Don't let them get to you Michael. It's only the internet.
b0bab0ey and Michael, let's mind the COH.
To the CoH - apologies!
From a liberal, progressive, pinko, commie, whatever who remembers the '60s AND was there: yet had nothing to do with the hippies.
Did spend a lot of time at the Fillmore and Winterland, but you are probably too young to remember.
funny thing is that those of us in the same approx age range read "VietNam" and "1966" - 1996 was such an OBVIOUS typo that I instinctively overlooked that I had to go back and RE-READ the response to see what the ruckus was about.
oh and b0b - too bad you weren't around for the DRAFT when there wasn't a CHOICE
