Huckabee on Obama: ‘Amateurish’, ‘Head in the Sand’

Former Arkansas governor, and possible 2012 presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee has some thoughts on President Obama’s angry press conference last week: he’s “amateurish” and he has his “head in the sand.”
“The most bizarre part of the whole process was watching President Obama self-destruct at the podium yesterday,” Huckabee told the National Journal in an interview published Monday.
“I was just stunned – I really couldn’t believe that a man that was elected president was as amateurish as he was, and essentially launched from the podium at some of his own, taking aim and mowing down everybody in D.C. and walking away having not understood that he just lost a lot of people,” he said.
He later went on to say that he thinks the president has his “head in the sand” when it comes to judging the will of the American people.
“He is a very ideologically left-of-center person who wants to take the country in a very dramatic direction, and I don‘t think that’s what people wanted,” Huckabee said.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 3:16pmI applaud Gov. Mike Huckabee for publicly speaking out against Obama’s behavior and against his Socialist Agenda. Huckabee has been especially out spoken against Obama-care and the under-handed way they crammed it down our throats. I LIKE MIKE and anyone who under estimates Huckabee is in for a real suprise. He served two full terms as a State Governor and has the character and experience to represent America and re-establish our National Sovereignty.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 2:23pmI think Glen Beck is right. He doesn’t have his head in the sand but he is very intelligent. He knows what we want, he just doesn’t acknowledge it. He is doing what he can to bring about a one world government. All of us in church/spiritual know the president is going to make the revelation of Revelation current. As Glen says, if you think about it from they‘re perspective it’s not that far fetched and makes a lot of sense. If the president listens to us, we will never become part of the new world order.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 1:55pmObama is an incompetent boob for sure, and he is out to destroy us if he could. He can’t. For Mike Huckabee I have watched him for some time. He appears to be a good idea and not a bad entertainer. However, I think the next President has to be more than an entertainer. He or she will have to be a bit ruthless to deal with some of the world’s bad guys. He or SHE will have to kick ass when necessary and just to start off he or she would have to do some serious house cleaning in the country;s most corrupt city, Washington DC. Mike’s a nice guy but Washington DC needs more than just a nice guy.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 1:05pmThis is why Huckabee would never get my vote. He’s like John “Wayne” McCain – always a day late to the party, and a dollar short.
Obama’s book smart, but that really doesn’t mean much – never did. For Huckabee to be “stunned”, really stuns me. Obama is an empty suit that cares very little about the office of presidency, but cares a great deal about “sticking” it to traditional Americans, for really childish reasons, like his pops was a red (whom Obama barely even knew) that hated anything the West accomplished. BTW, I could never understand this logic because how you could possibly hate a people that worked tirelessly for freedom and attained mass amounts of wealth? Would it be more productive to throw in the towel like Obama’s followers often do and cry foul because they “feel” they can’t compete? So unfortunate, yet that philosophy is so easily adopted by the vulnerable and lazy in our society.
And, I really hope Huckabee stays on the sidelines where he belongs. America doesn’t need another bleeding heart as president.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 1:01pmGovernor Huckabee in his eloquent way is saying that President Obama was not prepared to be President. I have a feeling that the argument about Gov. Palin’s experience has some validation.The pundits were in error when they claimed the Obama was better suited for excuitive job than Governor Palin. There is no substitution for executive experience. We have to be reminded of that fact from time to time.

As if Huckie weren’t bad enough already.
Just wait and see. I should be doing Rush’s analysis for him because the Goopers do NOT want to see a Sarah Palin or a John Bolton because then their cozy game will be up.
They are working hard on slipping us the richboy Jebbie, who just ranted against Arizona.
Business as usual.
They’re trying to harness our Tea Party anger to game the DhimmiRATs, that’s all. In reality the Roves and the Norquists are quite cozy with the RATs when noone looking and the doors are closed safely behind them.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 1:22pmYou must be joking. You are one of those that voted for Obama in 2008 because your head was in the sand and you did not listen to what he was promising, right?. For example “In five days we are going to fundamentally change America”. You and about 52 percent of your friends along with over 95 percent of black voters were not happy with America as it was. Did anyone think to ask for an explanation of “fundamental change”? So now 100 percent of Americans are suffering because you voted without using your brains.
Report Post »Believe me, if you want to find a better president in 2012, look for someone with Integrity and common sense along with intestinal fortitude. Start with Sarah Palin who has proven herself to be all of those things and more. Obama has told lie after lie after lie – too many for anyone to count. He flies air force one all over the world all too frequently for example he was in Asia for ten days and the following week went to Afganistan. Common sense would suggest that he stop off on his way back to the US. What about the first lady “needing” a staff of what 24 people? Talk about waste, fraud and abuse, they are the worst. Start reading the papers, listen to fox news and perhaps in 2012 you will know enough to know you MUST vote for conservative republicans and not progressive democrats, especially those who associate themselves with communists, marxists and socialists like, George Soros, Andy Stearn, Cass Sunstein, Jerehmiah Wright, Jim Wallis, William Ayers and his wife Bernadette Dhorn, etc, etc, etc, Face it, you voted for a man who has surrounded himself with terrorists and America haters.

He should have never been elected President, because he has no idea what he is doing and cannot stay in the office long enough to do anything. Let’s see what Obama really does, now that he doesn’t have a congress to do his job for him.

Posted on December 13, 2010 at 3:21pmPRESIDENT OBAMA’S MOTIVES:
Do you actually believe that Mr. Obama is actually trying to improve the economy? In recent history, almost all coups, resulting in a dictatorship were preceded by a very severe economic crisis. Is that economic crisis Mr. Obama’s objective? Remember when Rahm Emanuel , Obama’s chief of staff, stated one should never waste a crisis. What do you think he meant? You should be very afraid!
Mr. Obama presents 3 alternatives:
• Ignorance, which can be cured with knowledge
• Stupidity, which is forever
• Evil, he plans to avenge King George III by destroying the American Revolution and create a dictatorship.
Almost every initiative that Obama has instigated is destructive to the economy. Does anyone really believe that a President can be that stupid or ignorant?
