Mike Huckabee claims Obama grew up in Kenya (governor, Florida, world)

Huck misspoke - he meant Indonesia.

Even the Lefty journalists say he is not a birther.

just trying to appeal to the uninformed social conservatives who are likely to support him?

That is what I think.

I think I see a change in that real soon.

Why did he make a reference to the Mau Mau rebellion? What about British colonial rule?

There is no possible way that Huckabee meant to say Indonesia.

The OP can't even spell the man's name right in the poll. Thread fail on that alone.

Is he really that uninformed, or is he just trying to appeal to the uninformed social conservatives who are likely to support him?

He is just trying to find a way to stay out of the election, being rejected twice is even harder.

Huckabee works for FOX and as one would expect, he gears his statements to his audience. What he actually may believe or truth, is completely irrelevant.

I'll go with the latter.
