That s a hit. one a day men s. dporch governor mike huckabee may be contemplating his next presidential move but he s on a press tour promoting his next book. he got attention for something he said about the president s upbringing. take a listen. don t you think we deserve to know more about this man? i would love to know more. what i know is troubling enough 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. his perspective growing up in kenya with a kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the mau mau revolution is very different than ours because he grew up hearing the british were a bunch of imperialists. ....
Inside republicans want in an established candidate. they probably don t think they can win with a sarah palin or somebody like that. he has plenty of money. he s done this before. he s a good-looking gr guy, nice family, nothing we know of is in his background. he s been through a presidential campaign. if there were something in his background, we would have founded it out. certainly wasn t raised in kenya. or libya like me. mau mau. had nothing to do with the mau mau revolution. he is going to get hammered on this. he ll be perceived as the front-runner. everybody beats up on the front-runner, i can tell you this from experience. i like the way haley barbour is approaching the romney obama benefit to health care. three peas in a pod. really quickly, libya is, well, things continue to heat up there. i m very proud of you all. ....
Things like that. it s all going to come out in the primary. if it doesn t come out in the primary, it will come out in the general and then you re really in trouble. in heilemann s piece he writes, when i ask him if he has any doubts of where obama was born, he shakes his head, no. i think that is absurd. he didn t claim he was born in kenya. he claimed he grew newspaper kenya. the misspeak is ridiculous. he goes on to talk about the mau maus and other stuff. the mau mau revolution affected us all, though. what is that? i have to say, i got the distinct impression there s no way he s going to run. really? i said to him, the conventional wisdom is there are two problems for you. one, you can t make enough money to be a credible president and ....
The great thing about america and i m going to get to this at the end of the show, you don t ask somebody who their grandfather was, you don t focus on their an rest ancestry to make a point. you let them score the points in the field they re in, whether it s sport ors any other area of american life. you let people serve in this country to the best of their ability, you don t go back into their roots to find something bad back there you can use against them. mau mau, madrassa, i know what it s saying, you tell me what you think. not only do you not go to their roots to try to disprove their american identity, you do it to embrace the fact that we can come from europe, we can come from italy, we can come from wherever in western or eastern european countries, polish, jewish, italian, lithuanian, and celebrate that we can come to america and come under the call to democracy on american soil, and wherever we began with our humble roots we ....
It had to be kenya, and that was his first step. then he comes out with this semi apology, but the apology as you highlight, just sort of feeds into more obama bashing, he s not like us, he s foreign, he has a foreign influence, this stuff just won t end and the right wing media will not let this stuff die. they re really fighting the last war. obama won in an eelectoral landslide. he won north carolina, he won indiana. this idea that he was foreign and not like us, they won t let it go, but the american people just aren t buying it. let s go to michael on this. professor, thank you for joining us. everybody knows i was in the peace corps, i was in africa and most americans who grew up in my age group are familiar with the term mau mau. it was the uprising against the british colonialists in kenya, of course. it ended british rule there and probably in the end was probably a good thing. it got them out of there. i m not a colonialist. i don t like colonization of other people. ....
