CNN

Huckabee who?????

Ann, Hillary's agenda is the same as Obama's except that she wants to mandate that everyone buy health care - which is far less "moderate" than Obama's plan. I do not begrudge you your sour grapes in the waning days of Sen. Clinton's failed bid, I'm sure it stings. I just hope you and the rest of the "I'd rather have Mccain than Obama" Hillary supporters come to your senses and get over yourselves before November. Do you think that Clinton would prefer Mccain over Obama? Come on, lets "get real."

It's obvious from the dozens of blogs referring to Huckabee that either CNN is censoring most of the favorable ones from appearing here or we have proof that the media's game is working. That is, those who are poking fun of Mike have not examined his record nor know the facts of his platform nor have been accurately informed on his hugely successful years as Governor. The media has told America that Mike doesn't matter (i.e. millions of Americans' votes don't matter), and the only ones really getting all the free coverage are the Democrats. Even McCain wouldn't be in the news if Mike threw in the towel now. Today's news is getting mighty stale. Everyone – Democrats and Republicans – would benefit from a good Republican
debate. Is McCain afraid of the challenge?

Dang.... This is one hateful world! I can't believe the hate comments that are on this blog. Huckabee said on an interview one time when asked about Bill Clinton, "Whatever you may think about the man and his morals, you have to admire someone that came from a nobody in a disfunctional home, to rise to president of the United States." He has treated your "gods" with respect. At least you can be respectful back. Can we possibly start acting like a more civilized people PLEASE. Or please stay off of the blogs. This should be place to
dis-cuss issues, not "just cuss".

Does Huckabee know anything about the current health care cost in America at all? we are currently spending 1.3 trillion dollars on health care and still have 47 million people uninsured. first of all which aspect of healthcare is this $287 billion he's talking about covering? Regardless this is peanuts compared to total healthcare budget. I like you huckabee, by these irrelevant comments are not welcome and maybe you should worry about raising more money for your irrelevant campaign

Democrats are raising taxes on gasoline to pay for the health care, etc. We can drive less or get bicycles!! Tax the oil companies and they will just stick a dollar on a gallon. Politicians own stock in oil companies, Ted Kennedy and Bush. Wake up! All politicians are crocked- we're just working grunts that pay taxes. Talk is cheap.

HUCK,

DID YOU ASK JESUS WHAT HE WOULD DO ABOUT HEALTH CARE?

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO, HUCK?

McCain and Huckabee are starting to go after Obama for one reason. They know that if Hillary is the nominee the Republicans will chew her up and spit her out and they can't wait. However, if Obama gets the nomination it will be much tougher for them to win the White House.

Huckabee what is wrong with you? after you and your cronies (Bush and company,) spent (and is still spending) billions on the stupid, dumb and costly Iraq war? how can you possibly attack Obama on his wanting to spend 287 billion on the needs and necessities of Americans, maybe you and Bush and co. will want to relocate to Iraq after this dumb, stupid and senseless war is over? (WMD's)? HaHa!
Americans cannot be fooled twice!

Hey, Huckabee! I thought you were out of the race.

But keep going. . .let McKain sweat a bit.

Who cares what you think about Obama. He will run against you (small chance) or McCain. . .and Obama will win!!

THE SENATOR TRENT LOTT ON HANNITY IS WRONG about Americans comming in at the end behind JUAN McCain and the B.S. TRAITOR EXPRESS.

ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SEE HOW MANY GO TO A HILLARY OR OBAMA RALLY AND SEE THAT THOUSANDS ARE TURNING OUT FOR THEM .... MCCAIN CAN FIT HIS ALL IN THE B.S. TRAITOR EXPRESS. THEY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING TO PUSH THAT BUSH CLONE TO THE TOP FOR SOME MORE RICH MAN'S POLITICS .

DON'T THEY SEE FROM THE LAST ELECTION THAT THEIR BASE IS RUNNING TO THE DEM. LIKE RATS OFF OF A SINKING SHIP ?

Actually, the items on his agenda ARE priceless. That's precisely why we need to pursue them.

Swede-right on.

HUCK is crying for an air time. Stop the nonsense and contrubute to the movement. OBAMA '08.

For a bunch of people to follow a candidate that claims "vertical politics" you guys sure aren't very uplifting. It seems to me that Obama is as fake as all his followers. They chide Huckabee for believing in miracles and being a joke, they tear down Hillary and plague people with spam about her and then Barack accuses the President of causing Al Queda to enter Iraq.

"Vertical"... I don't think you guys know which way is up.

Does anyone believe what Obama says?
Misson impossible.

We just dropped $160 billion on a worthless economic stimulus package.

Gimme a break huckster.

I guess it's time for this clown to try to get onboard the delusional train with Bush and McCain. Bush still thinks gas costs .98 per gallon and McCain think we're fighting in Korea or Vietnam. By the way McCain, Korea or Vietnam turned out to be debacles.

Obama ‘08

I LOVE i mean I LOVe hearing people on here claim to be Democrats but say they will never vote for Obama. Hogwash. What you are is a bunch of Republicans who wont get the votes to keep the WHite House so you pretend to be Dems who wont support Obama. Most Democrats will support Hillary OR Obama depending on the nomination. Sure we will debate and argue now, but when push comes to shove in the general election, John McCain is going to get landslided by epic proportions. Primary voting is 2 to 1 democrat over Repubs. See the only way republicans can say anything on these blogs is to claim to be a democrat. Claim all you want, talk all you want people. Hillary or Obama will be the next president of the United States. Oh and by the way it might be news to you Repubs, Ummm I think it may be possible that Obama knows that Al Queda exists/....You word parsing Dummies.

pipe dream February 28th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

You obamacats are believing in a pipe dream. Do you seriously think obama can make college tuition affordable? Protect this country from terrorists? How quickly the public is so easily swayed by obama because he can speak well. Get real people. College will cost more, taxes will go up, and we'll have terrorist camps in our own country under barack hussein obama. Open your eyes and ears people.

There are states that pay the tuition of all students, regardless of need, as long as they have the grades. At least, OBAMA, puts a condition that they have work for it.

To all those OBAMA HUSSEIN SUPPORTERS
Where do you think the money to pay for all those promises from Obama will come from???? Our wallets idiots!

Huckabee gets it. Obama will tax you all to the poor house.

Why is everyone complaining about Huck....his style of speaking is very very similar to Obama--–FULL OF GLITTER!!!!!!!!!

Obama is a very good lawyer.....who knows how to circle around words!!

Watch Obama carefully and you will see how cunning & arrogrant he is.

Whew, thank goodness he did mention the middle name. I like Mike, don't necessarly like his platfrom. Obama hasn't the foggest idea how to handle Iraq. His biggest deal is to keep saying he did not vote to go to Iraq. There weren't any Al Qaeda in Iraq until Bush/Cheney went there. That is beside the point now, we are there regardless of how we got there. To just keep saying Bush got us there, Bush got us there, Bush got us there. People cheer when he says that. What is his plan to get us out? I would like to hear something besides how we got there. We all know that.

ALL you genius's for OBAMA / HILLARY Health care ... you got a glimpse of it with the STATE SANCTIONED TORTURE TO DEATH OF TERRY SCHIAVO !

NOTHING IS FREE !!!!!!!!!

Jay February 28th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Huckabee is correct, Obama has never managed anything all these promises in orfer to get votes is ridicules. You better HOPE Obama is eleced because the only thing you'll find in your pocket is CHANGE after we get finished paying for all his monopoly programs.

In the words of Will. I. Am. "I want Change. I want Change."

Huckabee, who's this guy?

Les,
You'll never see Canadians getting crazy about their leaders the way Americans do. Look at the Obama rallies, its like those people are under drugs. Canadians are more rational people because they are coming from all over the world so they understand global issues better. As a result, they think when they vote. And their leaders know their electorate and don't make stupid mistakes. That's why Canadians are respected everywhere in the world.

mike you still are the man so keep going just think if all the news networks would help out and give you a little air time and be quite about clinton and obama also why is nobody talking about the debate mike wants with mcain before tuesday oh i forgot they are to tied up talking adout clinton obama to give you a chance it is a shame that money and news media can buy you a seat in the white house. so keep fighting mike these people laughing about mircles will wake up one day and wish they new what kind of mircle you have inside in november if not on ballot you will get some write in votes in virginia anyway with mike huckabees name on it

Lots of you dems are buying into Obama's hope and promise. How do you think he will fund free health care for every American? Even if he stops the war and tax the top1% of riches it still won't be able to cover free health care, college tuition, and the big government he's going to create. If it's doable wouldn't you think it would have been done during the Clinton's years? I for one wouldn't want to pay more tax than already am and that's exactly why i am voting for Huckabee.

if you want secure borders ... HUCKABEE
if you want to close the door of the I.R.S. .....HUCKABEE
if you want national security ...............................HUCKABEE
if you like your gun rights ...................................HUCKABEE
If you a secure America .......................................HUCKABEE
if you want a veterans bii of rights ..................HUCKABEE
if you want honesty and goodness .................. HUCKABEE
IF YOU WANT LOYALTY .....................................HUCKABEE

conscience still does matter ... none of the other candidates display one ... maybe OBAMA but I find it hard to believe that he is the christian that he professes to be .
he's pro abortion
belongs to a racist church
his mentor is a black nationalist preacher.
he's all shine and no shoe .

Hillary .. well everybody knows who she is .

If JUAN McCain had stones , he'd DEBATE HUCKABEE . JUAN McCain knows HUCKABEE WOULD MOP THE FLOOR WITH him. ...Huckabee is the ONLY sensible choice.

Mike Reagan ,said there were no other REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES besides McCain ...

NOW YOU KNOW HE IS A LIAR THAT CAN'T BE TRUSTED ....either that or he's having a drug problem again .

they scraped the bottom of the barrel for McCain.

Carla in Kansas February 28th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Huckabee is right about about the cost of the Obama proposals. Does he (Obama) really think Americans will fall for his unrealistic rhetoric?

America fell for "Iraq flew planes into the Twin Towers." So, Americas capacity to believe in any manner of UNREALISTIC RHETORIC!

Mike, I think that Ralph Nader has a campaign manager position open.

Go huck

Another one who can see Obama is all talk, Hot air and smoke screens and sermons.

Since Obama wants all to "help him build a kingdom here on earth"

He must think he is God too.

MEL February 28th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

To Hucakabee: what is your proposal for health care for those who can't afford it, and for students who can't afford college?

It is easy to criticize, but difficult to come up with solutions. I guess, these areas are too difficult for you to address sensibly.

The answer is Jesus!

Hey, I didn't know Gomer Pile was still in this thing!

Well, golly, good for him.

How was that little trip to the Caymans?

Yeah, this is what we need; more solid Republican Math. Let's ..Cut Taxes and Explode Spending! and throw a stupid war on top at 1Trillion. What Obama is talking about is easily doable with basic math, he will just have different priorities.

And Tim, Obama is getting great coverage on occasion because he is a great candidate running circles arround Hillary and her team. They just can't take it because they are sooooooooo...experienced!!

EK February 28th, 2008 5:23 pm ET
That is completely false. Obama never promised to pave the streets with gold. he only claimed that there would be the POTENTIAL for doing so. Huckabee needs to stop putting words in his mouth.
Obama '08!

OMG! THAT”S hilarious! ROFLMAO!

so republicans want to keep spending $500,000,000,000.00 in iraq for who knows how long and obama wants to spend billions on AMERICAN children and families....where is the problem in that huckster!!!

What a surprise, Obama's supporters are not ready to listen his full name, it is hoped Obama will make them understand and will clear his position, because tomorrow he has to take oath with his full name being an elected president of United States of America, then it will not be an explosion for the supporters.

Obama is handling these multi-front attacks amazingly well. Makes you wonder, he must have something good going. It's also interesting how the GOP (RNC) picked up on some of Hillary's attacks against Obama. Maybe she should protest for the obvious plagiarism.

The BUSH, McCain and Huckabee people know how to get us into a mess called the Iraq war but they have NO IDEA on what is called an EXIT STRATEGY.......just like your campaign Huckabee.....You guys need to know when to PULL OUT!!!

Hey Huckster,

You can exit, stage right. That would be to your right, yeah.

lots of begging an apologizing when obama is president

$287 BILLION DOLLARS would, in my opinion, be well invested in America. I am sick and tired of all our money being sent out of this country while America's infrastructure and her people are hurting. Every time I turn around some other country is getting millions/billions of dollars from our government...enough is enough! It is way past time for our government to recognize the problems of America and stop sweeping these problems under the rug, pretending they do not exist.

idiot!!!

INTERESTING HOW EVERYONE IS NOW GOING AFTER OBAMA, INCLUDING REPUBLICANS AND HILARY.

WHY, BECAUSE THEY ARE JEALOUS AT THE AMAZING SUPPORT AND GREAT IDEAS HE HAS FOR AMERICA'S FUTURE, AND THE REPUBLICANS WANT HILARY TO WIN, BECAUSE SHE IS EASIER TO BEAT.

hilary is no better than the republicans, tearing down a fellow democrat with her nonsense accusations. A VOTE FOR HILARY IS A VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN BECAUSE HE WILL BEAT HILARY, SO DONT WASTE YOUR VOTE ON HILARY.

I read your comment Jared and would tend to agrre with you, except for one small item you so artfully left out... The fact the the War in Iraq was started under false pretenses in the first place!

As for Mr. Irrelevent-I-mean-Huckabee, interesting an ordained Minister doesn't practice what he preaches. I seem to remember the good rev, saying something about not knowing much about Math, but he knows about Miracles. What a hypocrite!

Obama will use the tax dollars now being spent on a failed Iraq war to support the people who actually PAY the tax dollars. That is how he will fund the programs. Not difficult math.

Well, sure. But I hear gold is rather pricey, so if Obama doesn't pave with gold, that should cut the cost down considerably.

I find everyone who is blindly anti-Obama to be ridiculous. I used to be severely against Hillary but after watching the debates, I feel like she would make a good president. Unfortunately, I still think Obama will make an EXCELLENT president. I don't think either of them will cut and run from Iraq because George W screwed us over and it would be wrong to get out without securing the region. I do think getting out of Iraq is going to require NATO and the rest of the world to help stabilize the region.

Other than that, America really is in need for some unification and vision. I recently had a chance to travel around Europe meeting people of all different origins and the one theme that was constant was the idea that America is the world's big ugly duckling. I learned that Canadians are actually treated better in Europe because they afford a little respect to the rest of the world instead of running around messing everything up. I guess, I look forward to America actually showing a little positive leadership in the world. Leadership that will aid sustainability, prevent poverty, and unify nations. I believe that leadership will come with Barack Obama at the helm, but if Clinton happens to get the nomination, she would definitely do better than McCain.

You're right, Huckabee! Obama is promising the world. But can he deliver? No...and I won't vote for him if he is elected, even though I'm a Democrat.

By the way,Randy of Los Angeles. CNN has given Obama a lot of positive coverage for almost 2 months. They are finally listening to us complain about their bashing of Hillary. Obama is not god-like.

Governor Huckabee's candidacy has become the laughing stock of this campaign season. His finest moment was on Saturday Night Live and he shouldn't ruin it by pretending to be contending. Ooh, I like that!

Huckabee is right. Obama just has lot of theories and very few plans of actions. There is already so much fraud with Medicare, a government healthcare plan. National Healthcare sounds great, but I don't think we can implement it well.

*Crickets*

If Huckabee attacks any candidate, it only shoots up the candidate high. Don't you think so? Lol.

Huckabee is spot on.

Everything costs money. That's a given. So, I'd rather spend $287B on universal health care and college tuition for citizens of the United States than to continue spending billions fighting a war against an enemy that has no viable way of crossing the Atlantic Ocean and legitimately threatening "national security".

I really wish more people could realize the truth in your statement, LJ.

You obamacats are believing in a pipe dream. Do you seriously think obama can make college tuition affordable? Protect this country from terrorists? How quickly the public is so easily swayed by obama because he can speak well. Get real people. College will cost more, taxes will go up, and we'll have terrorist camps in our own country under barack hussein obama. Open your eyes and ears people.

What Huckabee isn't telling the American people is what time interval he is using? What is it Huck? 1 year, 4 years, 10 years? Oh, I guess you would be supporting Obama is he wanted to re-write the Constitution for the United States of American in "God's language." You are a ridiculous man.

Ah, yes, Obama from the "little town called Hope". Oh, no wait. That was the Clinton campaign in 1992. That turned out well, didn't it?

Huckabee went too far to the Christain right and failed to enlist the support of the fair tax architects.
He truly had the only sincere idea of returning wealth to the people's control. If you never fully read both fair tax books by John Linder, then may be you should exercise your mind at your local library.

I laugh everytime I see Mike Huckabee on bad he's losing in the polls..... man... that's funny...

You can tell when you are the front-runner not only in the primary process but in the future general election when you are getting attacked by both Democrats and Republicans. Hillary and Bill are still attacking Obama. McCain is in his second day of attacking Obama. And now Huckabee is starting to attack Obama. Guess who is now attacking Obama, Pres. GW Bush. This is just hilarious.

Go Obama! Obama in '08!

I think Huckabee just wants some attention too... All the republicans are ganging up on Obama because they desparately want Hillary to win... The voters are smarter thatn your dirty tricks Karl Rove Republicans! We Want Change! PERIOD!

Shame on CNN for setting up Mike Huckabee to be bashed....

There are a lot more positive things that can be talked about Huckabee. How about giving the man a chance to debate McCain.?

I think the sound bite is ,"Huckabee has left the building", and headed for the Hills of Arkansas for a high mountian where he can preach to all those folks thought he was presidential material !!!!!!!!!!
Bye Huck !!!!!!

John McCain supports handing our sovereignty off to the International Criminal Court and the Law of the Sea Treaty; Mike Huckabee doesn't.

Mike Huckabee has a consistent record of supporting the second Amendment; John McCain doesn't.

John McCain supports using your tax dollars to destroy human embryos; Mike Huckabee doesn't.

Those concerned with securing the borders may not believe Huckabee on the issue because of some proposals he made while Governor of Arkansas, however, Governor Huckabee has made ironclad commitments by signing pledges by Numbers USA and Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to not have amnesty. I trust Duncan Hunter and Jim Gilchrist on the border, and they trust Huckabee. Meanwhile, John McCain has not pledged to oppose amnesty and he has convinced no major figure on border security that he is serious about protecting our nation's borders.

Finally, while Huckabee has had his differences with many conservatives, he's not made his career antagonizing every part of the Conservative base.

At this point in the race, John McCain is taking the tact of Bob Dole. Dole, in the waning days of the 1996 campaign after he won South Carolina, quit debating because he knew that appearing in a debate beside other candidates could only hurt him. It's a sign of weakness and an inability to defend your ideas. If McCain is afraid to take on Mike Huckabee, what's Barack Obama going to do to him in the fall?

I'm under no allusions that Huckabee has a great shot of winning. The odds are against him.

However, I remember him being in single digits and facing the end of his campaign in August when he finished second in the Iowa strawpoll. I remember us being told the Huckaboom went bust in late December, and then he won the Iowa caucuses. I remember reading his political obituary after the Florida primary and within eleven days, voters in eight states gave him victories. Governor Huckabee has the type of character and determination to beat the odds that I refuse to underestimate him.

Very smart of the Republicans to come on the attack with Obama. If Hillary should somehow win the nomination, she doesn't stand a chance against McCain, hence....the ploy would be successful and the White House would stay withe Republicans

Beware the obama haters who call themselves democrats and Clinton admirers. They are not Democrats and they are not Clinton supporters. They are vehement right wing haters and Rush limbaugh advocates

Obama has his priorities straight. Once he gets elected he'll cut and run on Iraq. The free health care is going to be really handy when he reneges on the Patriot Act and Al-Qaeda follows us home.

CNN has reverted to its partial news broadcast. CNN is constantly sending subliminal messages that favor Clinton but put Obama in a bad light. CNN has shown itself as not trustworthy and very commercial. If you work for CNN, you ought to either have a seared conscience or are just simply jaded!

Huckabee...how can you lose with a name like that?! It's time for a change from what the Grand Ole Party has gotten this country into over the past eight years. He should be praying that God puts the best candidate into office instead of "slinging mud"!!!

GO HUKABEE! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

“I hear Barack Obama say that he's going to provide everybody with health care and college tuition and pave the streets with gold,” Huckabee said to laughter from the crowd ~~~~~

That's exactly the problem with (repub) politics, most repeatedly put education on the back burner, to fund more important things. What's more important than education? How many problems exist that having an educated populace would not pretty much resolve?

Give it a rest, you've and the RNC already. You won't get the VP job. You can't even past Mitt Romney. Keep Obama's name out of your mouth, sore loser.

That's right Huckabee give it to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOMER POWELL SIGHTING. WOW.

miracle spin!...I hope God is listening because these lies your are spewing about Obama can't be a miracle God will sanction!

Bug off Huckabee and go get a real job!!!!

Yeah, All that money going down the toilet for health care when it could be used for the important stuff like buying armaments , fighting wars, filling the coffers of big oil and cutting taxes for the rich.There won't be anything left for faith-based giveaways.

Seems the Dems are going to leave the Middle East in chaos and just blame it on the Repubs.... Doesn't seem like a good plan to me.

Moderators... You must be making up these comments yourselves. The spelling? This can't be real. I'm just wondering if you are all sitting around in a conference room somewhere eating Fritos, creating these comments, and laughing hysterically at how stupid you can make people sound.

If there are real letters and comments submitted, perhaps you should edit them for spelling, originality, or something! They can't ALL be this bad.

If you check out the New York Times blogs, they include the ones in which the author sounds relatively intelligent, and can offer a different perspective. Can't you do the same, please?

Huckabee is right for pointing this out, "Big Brother" government can't do it all.

I sure wish that Huckee would just stop opening his mouth. I am sick of this guy and all of his "Funny" little one liners, all of which have accounted to basically nothing throughout his presidential campaign

Beware of your ridicule! When everthing is falling apart, why not show me how to redeem a life amidst the madness. Why not show me how to have a renewed life with all the leeches thirsting for every sweaty dollar I have earned?
And you call yourself a Man-of-the-Cloth. People of God do not willfully enage in causing others to blaspheme Him. When was the last time you read Romans chapter 2?

Fight on Huck. I wish you can be the nominee. I think you are the only one who can pair with the illusionist from where? ( Kansas, Hawaii, Illinois,???). The illusionist promised he would give every American the same medical benefits he receives as a Senator. I just only wonder how masterfully he has deceived people. Oh yeah that will happen.

My vote follows this strict order:
1) Great Huckabee
2) Mighty McCain
3) Lady H. Clinton

I like this guy, wouldn't vote for him but at least he is honest. I give him that! Go get em, tiger!

I suppose it was wiser to pave haliburton and other subcontractors pockets in gold in iraq than to address fundamental problems we have at home.

Obama 08

"how much will it cost us when we walk away and leave Iraq in a mess and the Middle East blows up, how much will that cost?"

Obviously quite a bit less than if we stay in Iraq and the Middle East blows up.

That is right Phil. The Republicans have no right to tell anyone how to spend money, when they have wasted trillions of dollars on a pointless war. Why not take a third of that and pay for everyone's health care?

Why doesn't Huckabee join a theatre troup already. His opinions are nonsense, all he has is his eloquence.

This is from the guy, who was quoted saying that if he's elected president he will shut down the IRS.

Also, the same guy who didn't major in math.

Please leave Now

I think the real question is whether or not Obama has good judgement. For instance, he would have the sense to get out of a race that he mathematically can not win.

Obama has dignity. Nice to see in a leader.

Priorities? You'll be thinking priorities when you have a 50% tax rate. Obama's pie-in-the-sky promises will bankrupt America faster than any war. Communism simply doesn't work.

Phil, money are already spent. With or without reason, only history will prove if it was the thing to do. I thought you the Obamanists were looking at the future not at the past? What now? And indeed the darling Obama makes priceless promises. And you believe them.

I don't support McCain and Huckabee, but any of them would be a better choice compared to Obama. Still hoping Americans will wake up and vote for Hillary who has a moderate agenda.

Huckabee must be concerned with trying to catch up with McCain, before he tries it out with Obama-that does make more sense and when he finally catches up, then he can be worried about streets paved with gold.

I think Huckabee misses the point. How many more American lives does he want to give to get the oil in the Middle East? He has a kid maybe he should join the fight. In fact they are both wrong here. Ron Paul has it right on both issues. Free market and a sane foreign policy.

Phil is right, there is a lot we could have done without this stupid war in Iraq!!! And Mike Huckabee, you are a Bible hugger and no place to say anything in my book, so shut your mouth and stop the hateful remarks!!!

Obama is not perfect, and none of us expect him to be the best president, but if this country has come down insulting a person that has hopes and dreams for this nation, and sees its true potential, then I'm moving to Canada!!!!

Obama Richardson 08!!!!!

LOL! Oh Huckabee you're so irrelevant now that the only way you can continue to get attention is by taking swipes at Obama. You remind me of a scolded 6 year old girl.

Obama IS living in fairytale land. Maybe he smoked one too many doobies.

Yea Phil...If we had not spent the $3 trill in Irag....How many more attacks do you think would have been made on us???? There were a lot before Irag and no one else had the gonads to fire back!!!!

Huckabee, et tu?

I guess you'll take any publicity you can get. The way to get a little bit of that is to invoke Obama's name.

Go figure.

Everything costs money. That's a given. So, I'd rather spend $287B on universal health care and college tuition for citizens of the United States than to continue spending billions fighting a war against an enemy that has no viable way of crossing the Atlantic Ocean and legitimately threatening "national security".

If you're so concerned about the need for continued war in Iraq, Mike, than why isn't your son in uniform and serving over there?

Huckabee is the man! Man up McCain lets see a debate. Huckabee would crush O Bomb us

Somebody please help me to ask Huckabee, How much have we spent in iraq so far?.
I think Obama knows what he is talking about and can defend it with facts and figures.

Phil, you are absolutely right. Very good comment. I couldn't believe Bush had to start a war in spite of UN didn't find any of the acclaimed weapons. UN was also correct, because our army couldn't find any either during or after the invasion!

Remember the MOVIE "The Distinguished Gentleman" a conman played by Eddie Murphy?? Seems eerily similiar to whats happening in our presidential race!!

I like Mike the Incredible HUCKabee!!

Really Mike, the only priceless thing going on is your campaign. How could you focus on the Democrats, when you're not even close to beating McCain? Very illogical man, very illogical.

You're irrelavant Mr. Huckabee......Beat it.

Ps isn't it high time you ended you're pointless campaign and contribute your supporters donations to a worthy cause....say OBAMA'S education and health care initiatives???

News FLASH....it's the 21st Century....having higher education and access to proper health care should be priorities for you and all who dwell below the 49th degree parellel.

No child left behind....

OBAMA 08/12

wake up people, we need someone in office with experience and Hussein' Obama doesn't have it. He doesn't even know who the operativties are in Iraq, or does he?

With maintenance of lifestyles eating away at our meager salaries, why not take the leap with Obama! At least it is a conscious decision.

The stock market games have nade paupers out of lowly American citizens while the few elite have seen skyrocketing increases in their boulging financial portfolios You are killing me harshly with multiple competitive choice at daily living.
At least Obama lets me see wherein the mistakes are made and offeres a glimmer at how to correct the damage without being a destitute. Who wouldn't vote for such a person?!

Get lost Hackabee, you are irrelevant.

When/if Obama gets to be president he will learn the difficulty in implementing some of his plans..Independent experts are calling Hillary the most realistic of all the candidates with how she's going to pay for her proposals.

..In the meantime Huckabee is hoping for a little back and forth to keep the cameras on him. Interesting gy the Huck,

I completely agree with Phil. Comparing to what we are spending in Iraq for no genuine reasons. $287 billion dollars on infracstructure, health care and education shouldn't be a problem. i think we deserve better than that.

in the world's richest nation, we SHOULD have free healthcare, we SHOULD have free college tuition. those in the establishment who oppose it are relics and should be driven out of washington.

Huck-a-who???

When is this guy going to get the message, it is over Mike.
Miracles do happen Mike, open your eyes and see, Obama.
I wonder how much health care we could buy with the money wasted in Iraq, now that is priceless.

Welcome to war, Phil. Why are people so ignorant? Why do they not realize that the Middle East is A) a potential SERIOUS threat to global stability and B) Needs immediate attention. You think democrats would listen to General Petraeus, our leading commander in Iraq, who is saying "We need more troops, we cannot let up." He is over there everyday experiencing and seeing whats going on, he knows what we need. But no, you ignorant democrats immediately wave off anything war related. Barack Obama and Clinton, if elected, would 100% insure certain doom upon this planet. Why? They would pull out of the middle east "immediately," the whole country would fall under and lose ALL the progress we've made there, the entire area would once again be controlled by a terroristic threatening society, and all hell would break loose! THINK for once!

We can not cry over spilt milk. What was done was done and maybe there was justification and maybe not. The question is how do we move forward? We need to be practical and realistic.

Can someone please provide an OBJECTIVE comparison of all these presidential candidates so we can see who is fit to run this country ? I am looking for the big 5 issues:

Economy
War and foreign policy
Immigration
Healthcare
Education.

I appreciate it coz we all need to make well informed decisions.

Wow, the media whoring also ran that is mike Huck is piling on a real candidate.

Let's see...

When Huck ran Arkansas he suppoted the idea of giving illegal immigrants the right and pathway to go to college.

He raised taxes in Arkansas.

Now he's a reformed conservative. Alright, okay.

Maybe the former governor would be best served if he went back to Little Rock and take the stage at Yuk Yuk for his presidental stand up act.

I thought the Huckster's stock in trade was miracles, not math.
Where did he come up with these figures? The Republicans have not even paved our streets with asphalt, our infrastructure is falling apart. Good comment from Phil!

Phil-

ABSOLUTELY correct.

Thank you.

That is indeed alot of money. Almost as much as the 3 trillion we've spent in Iraq, where John McCain wants to keep us for fifty more years.

Mike ......please shut up....you have run the MOST POINTLESS campaign so far...and now you are jumping on the "me too" bashing of obama. Please go and give another boring paid speech to people who care cause we dont care about you .

Good point, Phil–Priorities.

War on Poverty.
War on Drugs.
War on Terror.

None of these wars have been won. Some have been going on for decades. I guess America really does need to itemize it's priorities.
Priorities, Phil. Priorities.

How about abolishing the IRS and replacing it with a sales tax? Now that's priceless!! It would sure cost the americans a hell of a lot and destroy our economy

And in between having streets paved with gold or the Middle East blow up without US intervention (it's more like the US started the blowing up process!!!), I'd much rather have golden streets. At least it is positive investment and will last, as well as bring in some tourists.....with war the money is gone forever for a pointless reason!!!!!

Stop the fearmongering, get real, and get positive Mr Huckabee

Why is it that every candidate, even the real losers, are trying to bash Obama for their own gain? Don't they realize that no one cares what they think?

CNN will you stop wasting our time by not covering this guy? He's the most irrelevant person in the race and when will he realize – it doesn't matter what he says.

Did someone hear a Fly buzzing around?? Shoooo Fly shoooooo!

Mike didn't vote for this war or get us in it. He was busy for the last ten years gaining exective experience as a governor who was honored as one of the best and took a state from 49th to 8th in education. The truth is that nobody wants to be in this war, but I am not sure walking away is the key, either. Maybe we shouldn't have started it but I am not sure that leaving a mess is right either. I have yet to hear from someone with government run health coverage that liked it. A friend from overseas told my husband that it was not a good thing...impossible to get appointments.

Idiot. Huckster, go away. We can't spent money on our own people because we are spending those Billions on Iraqis who give away the weapons we pay for with our tax dollars. My husband served in Fallujah during the 2004 time of the war. He wants us out and Iraqi children threw rocks at the infantrymen. Get Real, Huck.

Obama 08

Is he still running? Bless his heart...
OBAMA 08

This guy is worried about how much it's going to cost for healthcare and college costs in America but not how much it's costing us in Iraq daily?

What country are these Republicans looking out for?

not to mention the fact that his ridiculous fair tax idea with a prebate for all americans would cost over $400 billion..and thats only one of his ideas..yeah you're brilliant mike

A chicken in every pot "Winston Churchill" Obama wishes. We all have our wish list, without taxes.

I can't imagine Iraq could ever cost us more once we leave. In fact, I'm pretty sure that anyone suggesting that should be slapped across the face.

Nice try, Chuck, em ... Huck.

See ya later!

I didn't hear about paving the streets. Think you are exaggerating, Huck. Go back to your evolution books.

Wow! You mean to tell me, he's still around? I thought SNL got rid of him over the weekend. Oh that's right, he doesn't know how to take a hint!

Huckabee is the only Republican that can win against Obama in November, He has the stamina, verbal skills and ideas (like the fair tax) to be able to stand toe-to toe with him. McCain would fizzle in a one-on-one debate aginst Obama. it would be like batttling a Gladiator with a wet noodle. Wake up everyone! Huckabee is the Republicans' only chance to win this November!

go huck im not a republican but i think people should read the fine print on this man...... we are struggling so obama supporters lets struggle some more.....

Too bad we could not have voted: Endless war with Iraq or streets paved with gold.

We spent the money anyway...

wow this is turning into WWE royal rumble. Senator Obama VS the Republican and senator Clinton. Seems like everyone want some air time by taking a jab at senator Obama.

"As of September 29, 2006, around $374.5 billion has been allocated by the U.S. Congress for the Iraq war.[1] Also, around $491 billion has been spent as of February 2008, based on current expenditure rates."

Now, THAT is a lot of money, Governor Huckabee.

Incidentally, how much money was it that you stole from your state? And have taken from special interests?

In 10 years, no one will remember this fool's name.

Obama '08!

If we can spend 1 billion every 2 days in Iraq, I know we can spend $287 billion on our own country.

Obama will finally put the focus on us. Go Obama. I can't wait for him to take office.

Holy Heck its a Huck Sighting!

President Bush has cost America more than that!!! You can't put a price on all the lives we have lost in this war that shouldn't have been! Barak Obama, YES WE CAN!!!

about 290 billion, huh? "a lot of money", huh? certainly I didn't read that correctly.

we could pay for Mr. Obama's programs almost twice over with what we've spent on this god-forsaken war.

If a Huckabee speaks in a state...does anyone listen?

I wondered where Mike has been, CNN isn't giving him any air these days, Nader either......

you're such a comedian, why dont you do stand up and just crack chuck norris jokes all day you big funny man.

Go home and keep praying for that miracle that ain't coming!

Huckster-Remember what your King bush said? We'll use the money from Iraq's oil sales to pay for the rebuilding. And since we'll be doing the selling, we might as well be paid back for the enormous amout of resourses we wasted on this illegal, immoral war.

It's deplorable that no amount of money can bring back the lives and limbs that were lost.

Nice try Huckabee but oh you dont have any money and it is a clever trick to try to obtain it and the votes of the well to do. Go home Huckabee the republicans dont want you and the CONSERVATIVES ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.

Well, I guess if we hadn't spent $3 TRILLION in Iraq in the first place, we might well have been able to pave the streets with gold...
Priorities, Mike. Priorities.

Huck was right about one thing: He didn't major in math. It would've come in handy though. Stay in school, kids.

Feeling left out?

The GOP and McCain have risen to the highest level of their incompetence. Go Huckabee!

He just said that because nobody has mentioned his name in five days straight. And lookie!...he's back in the news.

Do you know what else is expensive government spending? THE WAR. If we're okay spending trillions to make life better for the Iraqis (and even that ones debatable), we should have absolutely no problem spending 287 billon to make MY life better with MY tax dollars. The amount of money republicans have no trouble throwing away overseas is absolutely atrocious. We've spent 8 years investing in failure and instability overseas. Lets spend the next 8 getting our own house in order.

Hello? Bush, McCain and Huckabee took 7 years to destroy the economy and you are laughing? I would be crying if I were you not laughing!!!

You guys started a war in Iraq and had no good reason to do so. Now with all the money we spent on this war in Iraq we certainly would have helped pay for Obama’s proposals.

Also, its time to increase taxes on the wealthy as they are getting away with being taxed at lower rate than the average American. Remember what Greenspan said? I’m able to get away with being taxed at a much lower level than my secretary. Still laughing?

Plus you guys spent so much time and effort on the war that you let the economy slip away. Please tell me when to stop laughing Huck?

Can we talk about the other problems that you smart guys will leave the future president? Can we say housing? Environment? Jobs leaving the country?

Bush, McCain and Huckabee left America on the brink of a recession!! Ha, that’s funny, eh?

The problem the way I see it is that Bush, McCain and Huckabee know how to get into a mess(Iraq and for Huck the campaign) but they don’t have an exit strategy!!!
Now that is PRICELESS!!!

Huck, shut up loser and go hide your face. That stupid war is costing america a lot more that 287 billion.1 life was not worth the cause of this stupid war,
Tuck your tail and go

you need to be quite u are not in the races at all

Hmm...we have spent and are spending more than that on the war in Iraq. Yawn! Please tell the Republican party that Americans are not that stupid.

Well, they are certainly some items on the agenda that are priceless.. but of corse, that's in the normal sense of the world, the sense that the commercials mean them in. They're so valuable and important that they're beyond mere monitary value. Mike, your a personable guy, but maybe you should check your dictionary here.

LOL...Huck amuses me. I highly respect this man for staying in the race.

Hillary '08

You have got to be kidding. I WON'T EVEN POST ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON "THE HUCK"=SITTING DUCK!!

Huck, shut up loser and go hide your face. That stupid war is costing america a lot more that 287 billion.
1 death was not worth the cause,
Tuck your tail and go

and this is why mike huckabee wont be president...he could not run the country

“the proposals he's put on the table so far, already are going to cost about $287 billion dollars, so far. Now that's a lot of money.”

Yep, it is a lot of money. About half as much as has been spent on the iraq war so far. Huckabee........how about we stop waging war and get back to building America........or do you and the other Republicans have something against that?

Shame on you Huckabee, we need health care not war. Jesus didn't charge a dime to heal people. Health care for all is much more important than war for all. Get on your knees and figure it out.

Huckabee made an ok point but i believe once we take our troops out of iraq and focus more on improving our own country then we will be alot better off.

Go Home. It's time to quite.

Huckabee is correct, Obama has never managed anything all these promises in orfer to get votes is ridicules. You better HOPE Obama is eleced because the only thing you'll find in your pocket is CHANGE after we get finished paying for all his monopoly programs.

huckabee still talking, yet aims his attack at obama when hillarys plans cost more.

So.. in short, he takes a jab at obama to try and revive his failed campaign. You go Huckabee

Huckabee 0never

Mike Huckabbe got it right,$287 Billion Dollars for Medicare and that's per year, to start. That's an estimate only.Add to that ....Education,Cost of withdrawal from Iraq.The renegotiation of NAFTA,the re-settlement of the estimated 20 Million Illegal Aliens etc.etc.etc........

Huckabee math . . . now that's priceless

Hello? Bush, McCain and Huckabee took 7 years to destroy the economy and you are laughing? I would be crying if I were you not laughing!!!

Now that is PRICELESS!!!

Seem like everyone is taking a swipe at OBAMA... I know he would overcome all these cos he is one intelligent fella. Obama for President.

heh poor hillary,

even the also ran Huckabee doesn't even have time to attack her anymore.

5 days and its over!

Mike Huckabee is pretty bold (shameless?) to be making Mastercard jokes considering how President Bush and the Credit Card Republicans have been running our government on debt and deficits for the entire Bush presidency!

They've run America like it's Enron.

What a mess.

A Republican Program may cost 2 to 3 times the origional estimate like the prescription drug plan, but anyone who has tracked the democratic programs know you can multiply the origional cost by 5 to 10 times to get the real cost like their enviromental/global warming agenda costing 1.2 trillion to lower the earth's tepmerature by .4F. The democrates make the Pentagon look like spend thrifts or a drunken sailor thrifty! Mike is under estimating the cost of Obama and the Liberal's agenda is going to cost.

Well we could have had almost twice that to spend already if we have spent almost $500 billion on the Iraq war.

Where have you been Huck. We missed you. Like a sore thumb. How was the vacation? Now if you would only fold your revival tent and go home.

Step aside loser , u r already done!
It's OK to spend 12 billion per month in Iraq but it's not for improving our education system and Health care system !!!
such a jerk !!

Well, Mr. Huckabee, if you had paid as much attention to a potential presidential rival's policies and statements- close to how much you pay attention to your jokes (something which your campaign is) you would know how he proposes to pay for all the policies he's put forth.

I'm SICK of the baseless criticism of Barack Obama or ANY candidate for that matter. If you are going to go after someone for their policies- go after it with FULL knowledge, and if you do have it, don't participate in publicized factless speeches just to survive in a race you've lost.

Step aside loser, u r already done!
It's OK to spend 12 billion per month in Iraq but it's not for improving our education system and Health care system !!!
such a jerk !!

I like huck. But he is after all just republican candidate with no chance of facing obama. Thus I dont think this really matters. Theres not really any democrats out there going " You know what? I thing he's right" By the way why does everybody get so over the top with there obama dissin. Gold streets? Fairy tales? Celestial choirs? really cheap cheap shots. I notice obama doesn't sink to that level.

What Obama offers is just a hollow chest that looks glittering on the outside. Empty words of promise and hope that won't translate into anything good in reality. Good going, Gov. Huckabee! Keep it up!!! We need you in the White House!!!

Huckabee you're a fool. Go back to Arkansas.

these guys are crazy Bush wasted money on war Barack wants to spend the money on America i'm sorry but what was the problem again??

At least he is attacking the only people he can now.

so let's see....Huckabee, McCain, Bush, and Clinton are on one side, and Obama is on the other.

Gee, I wonder what side I'll choose.

Good. Finally someone's reporting the truth about Obama and his promises.

HILLARY 08

The US war in Iraq which is widely seen as illegitimate has cost far much than the $287 billion Mike Huckabee mentioned.

Anyway, the only answer to him and the republicans is, WITHDRAW FROM IRAQ WHILE IT IS STILL DAY AND THERE WILL BE ENOUGH FUNDS TO HELP ACHIEVE OBAMA'S POLICIES.

It will be far better to waste that big amount on health care, poor American students college tuition, and pave the US streets with gold rather than waste much more on the wasteful war on Iraq.

But it Obama's plan which has been argued, would leave 15m Americans unisured will cost $287bn, how much will Hillary's plan that will cover everyone cost?

Do you really think we should take anything that comes from you seriously????????

Huckabee, please go away. No one is listening to you.

tell 'em huckabee!!

Right on Huckabee!

Hillary the HOPE of 08 or vote Republican

Barack Hussein Obama is his name and he will drive this country into the ground.

Huckabee – Do you have any better ideas? You are wasting your time and the time and money of your donors by staying in a race you know you'll never win and yet you criticize the only candidate that has a shot at fixing this country. You just lost my respect.

Go huk.

Rev. Loser! Stay out of it. Go back to Arkansas and deal with all the illegal immigrants working at WalMarx.

Obama's taking hits from all sides.... he MUST be doing something right!

Even the laughingstock of this year's election Mike "Don't know when to say when" Huckabee is taking shots at Obama. He has all of these puppets running scared and shooting their mouths off as they use a scorched earth policy of politics. The message of change is being heard around the country, Republican and Clintonian governance is over and its time for a new paradigm.

Obama '08

The ARG poll for Republicans in Texas shows a much narrower margin. McCain 46% – Huckabee 42%.

CNN did cite the ARG poll for Democrats in another Ticker story.

Heck, just stop flushing billions of dollars down the toilet called Iraq, we can have our health care and still have a surplus left over to whittle down Bush's huge deficit.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

He is a loser that needs to get out of the race NOW
GO OBAMA 2008 PRESIDENT!!!!

$287 billion dollars compared to the cost of lives and money to fight George Bush's war in Iraq; RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP. The "OPPORTUNITY" of an affordable college education for my child PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“What we don't know how to figure out is how much will it cost us when we walk away and leave Iraq in a mess and the Middle East blows up, how much will that cost?” added Huckabee.

It would cost us about a billion dollars a year less than not walking away, Mr. Huckabee.

Wait, when you say "us," do you mean the American people, or the war profiteers making a fortune from the occupation? Maybe I misunderstood.

THAT's a lot of money?

Let's hear this clown's opinion about the cost of the Iraq war.

At least Obama's ideas would get people health care and education.

Think what all we could do here in America if we had all the money that we have spent on the war and will continue to spend to support veterans. I would rather spend my tax dollars on positive things than a war that goes on and on and sends Americans home injured or in a coffin.

To have a Middle East without exploding, fisrt and foremost Israel has to be kept tamed and within its borders, that pretext of right to self defense is being abused of every day and the killings go on, mercilesly.
Unfortunately, no politician in Washington would dare do that.

It´s the lobby, stupid!

Huckabee, why are you still even in the race? You have no chance of winning the nomination. You need to take jabs at your weak campaign team because obviously they did a crappy job if your not even close to McCain in delegates. Can we all say, landslide.

How much does Huckabee think that the Bush administration has cost us from being in the Middle East? Anyone have a number on how many billions we spend on defense every year?

Way to go Huckabee – someone needs to call Obama on his generous giving away of our tax dollars!

Given your $200 billion price tag on Obama's ideas, it should be easy to pay for since we're already spending that much in Iraq.

Huckabee, I think you should head back to Arkansas to eat some fried
squirrel.

Since Mike Huckabee is so concerned about what Obama's platform will cost, what will his platform cost, and isn't he also promising milk and honey in his campaign promises. why is he not as critical of what the Iraq war costs the American people in the way of dollars and lives, with no end in site. I only hope the American people will see through all the non-sense rhetoric, and vote with their minds and not there emotions.

It seems as if all the republicans are attacking Obama, even the president... maybe they know he would be hard to beat in the general election.

Oh yeh, Mike you're a real hoot. Just think, we actually COULD "provide everybody with health care and college tuition and pave the streets with gold", all for the price of only one year in IRAQ. Keep talking "cost" buddy - its a losing proposition for you [R]s.

You knuckleheads who support this huckleberry, as well as the current huckleberry-in-charge, should have surgery to explore how life is created from inanimate matter (i.e. your brain).

OH really!!!! Sorry Gov. Huckabee it takes atleast 300 delagates to get into this game. The sad part of this is he is a great candidate too bad he won't be around in the future.

To me, the US will be intimately involved in Iraq, for at least the next ten years.
Therefore, other elections; will have to decide further involment.

Apparently Huckleberry thinks that commenting on Obama makes him seem relevant. Only by some miracle rivaling creation itself will anyone even remember his name six months from now. Then he can debate Obama whether evolution, heliocentricity and photosynthesis are just illusions put out there by Gawd to test the faithful.

Wow this is bad for Obama, Huckabee has nothing to gain from attacking Obama NOTHING... but he is as worried as a lot of Americans are that Obama is all talk and will hurt this country.

Anyone BUT Obama 08'

One thing i cant stand is a sore loser, Who keeps talking crap, after he's lost. Instead of talking about obama. He should be talking about conceding. I prefer streets of Gold over Honey anyday huckaBEE and by the way honey is a laxative just like the words u speak. Just try to be a man and step down. El mirage Arizona

Needless war in Iraq: $3 Trillion and counting
Diplomacy: Priceless

Obama's train is about to come to a dead halt due to insufficient funding. Even if he raised so many million dollars for campaign, it's not going to counter all the spending he's proposing. That's what us Clinton supporters mean when we say his policy lack substance. It's not that Obama doesn't have any policies, it's just that his policies is not feasible in real life. Time to wake up Democrats...

Good to know there are people who'd rather run for President of our country by trying to be a comedian. Huck, you were better on SNL.

Apparently Huckabee thinks that commenting on Obama will make him appear relevant. I'm glad that he hasn't given up his delusions that people will still remember his name six months from now. Maybe some miracle more spectacular than creation itself will make him the nominee. Then he can debate Obama about whether evolution, heliocentricity and photosynthesis are just illusions put out there by God to test the faithful.

blah blah blahhh

Funny how Huckabee leaves out the Republican strategy of late: Cut taxes across the board while keeping spending the same or raising it.

Huckabee seems to want to talk about Obama's apparent fairy tale utopian vision, maybe he and other Republicans should start looking at their own "cut taxes, raise spending and America does great" fairy tale first.

Prides himself in "running a positive campaign" and tooting his "Holier than thou" image?????? Uhmmmm.....welcome to the real Huckabee!

Huckabee is truly delusional, he needs to drop out and stop mocking someone who actually has a real chance at being president.

Obama's train is about to come to a dead halt due to insufficient funding. Even if he raised so many million dollars for campaign, it's not going to counter all the spending he's proposing. That's what us Clinton supporters mean when we say his policy lack substance. It' not that Obama doesn't have any policies, it's just that his policies don't work in real life...

The US government spent over 4 billion last year to pay for our aging in Nursing Homes, we all know the care is greatly lacking, and corruption is a foot with the billing, but America paid. Why not educate our children so that we will recieve better care for less, why not pay for prevention, instead of treating illnesses that could of been avoided with outreach, Why not, because it would bankrupt the special interest groups who have paved their streets with gold.

Funny and he is right.

You know what, he's right. Instead of spending money keeping our citizens healthy and educated, let's spend it all on killing foreigners.

Why do people vote for Republicans?

Huckabee is right about about the cost of the Obama proposals. Does he (Obama) really think Americans will fall for his unrealistic rhetoric?

Mike is the only one that can beat Obama. Besides, with the FEC thing blowing up in Mac's face. Mac might not be able to campaign till September. Therefore, Obama can campaign with all his funds, and Mac can't since he went over the public financing limit that he has. That would be bad. Better to have Mike since he never agreed to public financing and has no fundraising limit.

What is this, Bash Obama day?

Clinton would spend more money either way.

America is one big credit card, Huck.

And soon, we're going to have to pay the bill. Thanks to the BUSH/CHENEY/ROVE administration.

Well good point. But how much is Iraq costing?

I rather spend the money in the US and scale down over there.

I really like Huckabee. He seems to be a man of integrity but unfortunately I don't think America is still listening to him.

IS HE REALLY IN ANY POSITION TO SPEAK? AT LEAST IT WOULD BE ON SOMETHING AMERICA CARED ABOUT INSTEAD OF PUTTING MORE OF OUR MILITARY IN A COUNTRY THAT IS GOING TO TURN ON US AS SOON AS WE PROVIDE THEM WITH THE WEAPONS ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES, AND AS SOON AS WE HELP THEM FIGHT THEIR OWN CIVIL WAR..... SOUND FIMILIAR?

Stay out of it Huckabee, you know that you have no chance of winning the republican nomination, so whatever your plan be it VP or what just stick to that....you're out of your leage. Stay on the sideline and wait on your miracle.

Cost of U.S. War and Occupation of Iraq

$497,992,761,374

You're losing Mike Huckabee. You couldn't sell the voters on your ideas. I'd say you don't have much credibility.

Is he still in the race?

He forgot to mention that if Obama is elected, everyone gets a pony. I'm going to name my pony 'cupcake.'

This guy is irrelevant!

OBAMA '08

287 billion spent here in America is alot better the the estimated trillion dollars spent bombing the country that wasn't responsible for 9/11. Huckabee doesn't think "now that's alot of money"?????

NON-ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he even relevant at this point?

This man will do anything to get attention...... it is very sad !!!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

Huckawho? Huckabee is just hoping that Obama will respond to him so that he can somehow get back into the public eye. Mike Huckabee is completely irrelevant to the political process.

Obama is getting it from all directions: Clinton, McCain, Huckabee, and Bush.

Change is coming to America in Obama

Wait, isn't this the same Gomer Pyle lookalike that still hasn't dropped out of the race, even though it's mathmatically impossible for him to garner enough delegates at this point? Well goooolleeee, he's hoping for a miracle to make him the nominee. Seems like he shouldn't be allowed to comment on issues involving numbers and counting.

I wonder why Republicans are taking jabs at Obama is it to gets his cult LIKE (notice I said LIKE, so dont get to upset) or other Democrats to jump on the OBAMA WAGON and give him the nominations because they know McCain can beat him. Republicans dont realize it but they may REAP WHAT THEY SOW because McCain could have another scandel or become ill and then we will be stuck with Obama. PEOPLE we need to wake up and not let this happen.
HILLARY08

WOW HUCKABEE TAKING JABS AT SOMEBODY AND MAKING SMART COMMENTS MR HUCKABEE U DO REALIZE THAT YOU ONLY HAVE 2 DELEGATES BUT KEEP HOPE ALIVE

America will wake up someday.

Did I just hear something? Oh... it's the delusional loser who won't accept his position. You know what mike, how about me an you debate about what you just said...oh...you don't have enough money.

To Hucakabee: what is your proposal for health care for those who can't afford it, and for students who can't afford college?

It is easy to criticize, but difficult to come up with solutions. I guess, these areas are too difficult for you to address sensibly.

Mike Huckabee is sooooo cool.He might not make it as president.But you sure got to love the guy

Well Huckabee, you and your Republican cohorts are the ones spending our good tax dollars as though you won the Powerball. Look to Bush, McCain, and Huckabee. They're part of the reasons why the economy is such a mess and why we have borrowed more money than we ever needed from other countries because of the failed policies in Iraq. I'd rather be paying $287 billion dollars to our infrastructure then to fund a senseless war abroad. The Republican Party is such a joke that Huckabee has turned his campaign into a comedy tour. Amusing.

I know that Mike Huckabee's ENTIRE campaign is a joke, so I think it's a true sign of trouble when the jokes stop being funny.

for someone who believes in miracles your statement is pretty amazing

"Mike, your my hero!" said Ralph Nader.
DrFill

It's about time someone called him on his proposed expenditures. Obama's "be everything to everyone" mentality has a price and according to Huck, it's a big price. Obama's waffling on what to do in Iraq are going to cost him his liberals, independants or both. Hopefully both. Without liberals and independants he doesn't stand a chance against McCain who is solidifying the Republican party and has always been popular with independents and middle of the road Democrats.

If I was mr. huckabee I would not make to many statementes of any kind he has stayed in the race way past his time to get out and is still losing to people that got out of the race long ago. so the way i see it if you can not get more deligates than someone not in the race like mitt romney than your opinions are not taken to seriously.

That is completely false. Obama never promised to pave the streets with gold. he only claimed that there would be the POTENTIAL for doing so. Huckabee needs to stop putting words in his mouth.

Obama '08!

in this article huckabee says, "the proposals he's put on the table so far, already are going to cost about $287 billion dollars, so far. Now that's a lot of money.”

all i can say is, we could fund his proposals 3 times over with the money we've wasted on the boondoggle that is the iraq war...

Every tme I hear a self titled republican talking about fiscal responsibility and tax cuts, I cringe because we have a republican in the white house. We fund a senseless war with multi billions, however, when it comes to taking care of Americans at home money seems to be the stumbling block. This relates to health care public school funding, affordable college education, border safety etc. Our ideaology outweighs the needs of the people. HMMMMMMMMM

Funny..coming from someone relying on a"miracles" and not arithmetic. Welcome to reality, Huckabee.

Huckabee couldn't figure out his own campaign finance needs, so now he's an economics genius on world affairs. What a joker.

Hucka- who? Who is this guy? Is he running for office anywhere in the United States?

Keep laughing, Huckabee. You won't be when McCain wins the nomination, and your persistent smirk will be smacked off your head when Obama wins the general elections!
