African American Expert Mike Huckabee Lectures Barack Obama On Race Relations

Mike Huckabee

Mike Huckabee, a Fox News employee (who also benefits from the position of the network as a public relations machine for the GOP), has the nerve to lecture President Barack Obama on how his actions are impacting black people.

You talk about a man with a lot of nerve.

This is from News Hounds:
I don’t know what 2012 presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee thought he was accomplishing yesterday (2/27/11) when he said on Fox News Sunday that President Obama had “alienated the African American community” with his recent decision to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act. If Huckabee thought he was reaching out to those supposedly disaffected African Americans, I suspect his effort backfired. The truth is, as Huckabee must know, Obama enjoys nearly 90% support from African Americans. Something tells me a little disagreement over DOMA isn’t going to change that. If anything, Huckabee’s remarks showed how ignorant he is, both of the African American community and DOMA.
Huckabee is absolutely amazing in how he can sit there in the lap of political comfort at Fox News and lecture President Obama on how his actions impact black people.

As News Hounds correctly points out, it will take a lot more than this (and a GOP candidate pool that seems to consist of the likes of Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Huckabee and Sarah Palin).

If you read the News Hounds story you can see how much Mike Huckabee has lost his political mind and how out of touch he is with people of color.
