Huckabee on Obama’s Speech

Mike Huckabee is still making some media rounds.  Below is a clip form his recent appearance on "Morning Joe".

I especially appreciated his comments on Obama's speech and the reaction of Black Americans.



**I had to edit this post after reading Ben Smith's reader's comments on the interview.  They are very enlightening.  Some Democrats are surprised that a Conservative openly and genuinely expresses sympathy for the negative expereinces many black Americans have endured.  Other Democrats hate him because he is a former pastor.  Some Conservatives see his gracious response as a sign of liberal weakeness.  Other Conserviatives see him comments as him trying to sneak into the limelight to steal McCain's thunder, while the Mitt Romney fans continue to spew Huckabee hate.  And then there were those of both sides that recognized Huckabee's comments for what they were: the comments of a man trying to extend grace to a group of people with whom he can not persoanlly identify.
