Huckabee Says Palin in Wrong, Michelle Obama Should Act as the Food Police…

No fan of the Huckster…

(Politico) — Potential GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee says Sarah Palin’s wrong and Michelle Obama’s right, at least when it comes to the first lady’s push to combat childhood obesity.

“With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin, I think she’s misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do,” the former Arkansas governor said Tuesday on the “Curtis Sliwa Show.”

Michelle Obama has pushed several initiatives to encourage kids to exercise and eat well, including advocating for the passage of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, which President Barack Obama signed into law last week.

Palin has made clear more than once that she sees the first lady’s efforts as an overstep by the federal government. Most recently, on the episode of “Sarah Palin’s America” that aired Sunday, the former vice presidential candidate dedicated the s’mores her family was making to the first lady. “This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert,” Palin said.

Overweight for most of his life, Huckabee lost more than 100 pounds after a 2003 health scare and has since become an advocate for healthy eating and exercise.

“Michelle Obama’s not trying to tell people what to eat or not trying to force the government’s desires on people,” Huckabee said. “She’s stating the obvious, that we do have an obesity problem in this country.”

He added: “The first lady’s campaign is on target.”

    former fatties…and he has reverted, are as bad as former smokers. I can’t stand this guy. Something says opportunist…fork’ed tongue. not to be trusted.

    There goes any remaining credibility for Huckabee out the window.

    Palin understands full well what we all understand:
    1) Government has no role in dictating who eats what.
    2) This food bill by ME-Chelle is nothing more than a takeover of the food industry so that the workers can be made government employees. Once that’s accomplished, they can be unionized under SEIU and voila! a portion of every food sale and paycheck goes to the DNC.
    ME-Chelle Obama does NOTHING without a sinister purpose. If Huckabee can’t see this, he is not worth voting for. He’s obviously a RINO tool and needs to quit politics now.

    Huckabee is a Jackass.. Yeah right Michelle the Wookie should tell parents how to feed their children, when she can’t even keep her own from getting big old fat asses.
    Huckabee needs to take his head out of the Wookies ass . the fumes are obviously causing brain damage.

    ““Michelle Obama’s not trying to tell people what to eat or not trying to force the government’s desires on people,”

    Liar. That is EXACTLY what the new law she pushed for does. It MANDATES what local schools must / may serve for lunch, etc, etc.

    Hucster has found his ‘sweet spot’ – a trivial boring TV talk show, where sometimes he picks up a bass guitar. He needs to stay there, and out of politics.

    IMHO he just blew his 2012 shot for the Presidency. I was’nt supporting him anyway. I’m hoping for Mike Pence or John Bolton to run

    Imagine my horror at the discovery I had no clue about good parenting all these years. What horrific damage did I do to my sons when I gave them the occasional treat of ice cream or cookies? If only the food police had been around when my children were little, they could have been saved from Happy Meals.

    Be careful, Huck…your RINO is showing. You are going the wrong way in setting up a run against Palin.

    Huck: I thought you knew the difference between an unelected First Lady implementing an expensive program to be paid by tax payers, Vs. letting each state determine their fate.

    This is what happens when the federal government dictates what schools do. Before the Department of Education, states decided their own fate, and now they get bossed around by a First Lady??

    This is about power, Huck, not ensuring kids eat healthy.

  16. Rodger says:

    We are in deep shit if we let Huckabee, Palin, Romney or most of the rest of the old republican “leaders” get traction toward 2012. Out with these old tired, washed up RINOs and all their BS. I include Palin in there cause she is unelectable and can be worse than we could imagine. We need new blood and all these oldtimers need to get behind the new guard and help or get out of the way.

    Michelle ObamaDoesn’t Give a Rat’s Ass About Children

    Michele Evita Obama is a phony who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about children. she comes up with emotionally charged but very wrong statements like “Obese children are a threat to national security” but fails to acknowledge one fact about child abuse, child pornography and pedophilia.

    The fact is 8 of 10 families are dysfunctional and their children are severely suffering child abuse of all kinds from verbal humiliation to violence and sexual abuse by fathers and brothers and other relatives. This means 8 out of 10 adults grow up dysfunctional therefore making nearly 80% of society dysfunctional beginning with Barack Insane Obama who was sexually abused by Frank Marshal Davis.

    Larry7, thats a good one, RINO charging!

    How to stop the charge? A round or two of .500 Nitro express! Wait, must be the cough syrup, wrong kind of RINO!

    Hey MOOSHELL, now why did you lose your law license? And how did your salary more than double when the won got elected senator? I understand you rarly ever showed up for work? Oh that trip you had to personaly make to the market for arugula that cost taxpayers how many million for security? That big trip to Spain with all the “Buds” set us back how much? Then there’s that fat ass off yours, (looks to be about a double axe handle), and your telling us how to eat??? A salad once in awhile couldn’t hurt? Better yet STFU and stay out of our lives!

    “Tax Hike Mike” Huckabee has never been anything other than Jimmeh Carter with a few social con positions, but this takes the cake. Screw you, Mike, no way in hell do you get my vote.

    Rodger above seems a little demented though. Palin is a RINO? Good grief.

  20. skydiver says:
    December 22, 2010 at 11:58 am

    Nolo, good point on Palin! I’ve never put her in RINO country!

    I think most of us just want a “common sense” person in charge!! A say what you mean, and mean what you say type! Common sense is so uncommon in today’s lawyer er lyair politico’s!

    Unelectable?? We’ll see?

    personally, im tired of first ladies going on ruhtarded crusades. historicly, the worst part of our best presidents has been their wives…. from Betty to Rosalynn to Nancy to Barbara to Hillary to Laura to our current queen, Michelle….

    we have gotten NOTHING from first ladies except bigger taxes, bigger spending and less freedom from their rediculous ideas of morallity.

    enough is enough, time for some legislation to LIMIT the non-existant powers of our Queens AND to make it illegial for a first lady to run as president. *cough* Hillary *cough* you had 8 years to eff shit up, wasnt that enough?

    Watch for many more “Rogers” to come out of the woodwork claiming that they are conservatives or reformed Dems and repeating that tire phrase about Sarah Palin being “unelectable” because…….fill in the blank. Right now she’s the only one standing up against this administration’s grab for more power. I would vote for her as well as Pence, Bolton or DeMint and one day (G-d willing Col. Alan West). We cannot allow MSM to determine our Republican nominees. In my opinion the only good thing to come our of McCain’s campaign was Sarah Palin. As Rush says….the left will tell you who they fear.

    Well, it appears everyone here is just speaking their mind, and a lot of people are well informed. Michelle is a deeply corrupt product of Chicago Daly Democrat party machine. The “healthy kids” nonsense is nothing more than political payoff to the SEIU.

    Huck is either pretending to not know about the SEIU/Democratic connection or using it for political advantage against Palin, who’s much more popular. Being a good politician, I am going to say it’s for political advantage. No one who has a clue about politics would think Michelle Obama has anyone’s best interests at heart, unless it’s to benefit the corrupt Democratic machine and her. Valerie Jarrett is the same type of character.

    Well, this is for Huckabee, Roger and the rest of the Palin haters.

    They simply do not want a white woman president.

    Roger, you’re not foolin’ anyone. You’re a misogynist, a racist and a repressive libturd. So is the Huckster.

    Who will prove me wrong?

    Sarah Palin is hardly and “oldtimer”, RINO. She certainly has a better chance of winning POTUS than Huckabee. The First Fat Ass certainly is telling school systems what to feed the kids. After being slammed for saying “We can’t leave it up to the parents”, they now deny, deny, deny.

    I was talking to my daughter about this today and she pointed out that it has to be a local issue and everyone has to support what they want to do. Legislation will never be accepted. Everyone OUGHT to know that different climates demand different diets. Michigan won’t want or need what Hawaii does. We have a science project in our middle school where they have a working garden; it’s highly successful and they actually sell their produce to the local restaurants (nice that they can learn capitalism along with growing produce). They are much more interested in eating the products of a garden they worked on from the planting through harvest and sales. No one is required or forced to eat anything. Seems much more workable to me. I’m pretty sure most of these kids like Happy Meals as well. I really hate the FFA/Food Nazi…who, btw has a BMI of 31 (rated obese)…mostly the bottom half I suppose.

    The Huckster has sow’d out again, so he comes off even more hypocritical than usual.

    I remember back in the ’08 campaign that a group of Arkansans said if he got the nomination, they were going to run a full-page national newspaper ad listing all the RINO garbage he pulled in their state, just to wise up anyone gullible enough to be taken in by Aw Shucksabee.

    And, hey, Rodger: PALIN 2012! PALIN 2012! PALIN 2012! PALIN 2012!

    Daily obama news is saying the same thing saying palin is lying when she says parents should decide what their children eat comparing her to paris hilton

    Honestly i hate newspapers
