On a campaign stop in Plano, I had the chance to
ask Governor Huckabee about the comments made by Michelle Obama regarding not being proud of America in her adult life till recently:
"Well I am hoping it was just a slip of the tongue, that it was not something she
sincerely meant. I think she has got to give some clarification to it because I think
it’d be very troubling to many Americans to think that with all the wonderful
moments that have happened in this country that there had never been one in her
life, in forty something years, that made her proud. There are many events in America
that have made me proud and I think that have made every American proud. And
whether it’s the fact that we landed on the moon or whether the relief efforts we
have done everywhere from Darfur to Pakistan after the earthquakes or after the
Tusnami, there are many many times I have been very very proud of this country.
And while I think all of us as Americans can find ways to improve it, I just want to
believe that that’s one of those kind of things with fatigue and that later would be
said in a different way.“ (
