THE LITTLE GOVERNOR WHO COULD
Have any of us stopped to think what a great thing Mike Huckabee has done for this country? I don’t know if you are old enough to remember the old TV series A Family Affair. There was a little kid on it named Johnny Whitaker, who had a top record, Every Little Boy Should Be President. During that time frame he also played Huck Finn, which should tell you something of his appearance.
It was adorable, and he made the rounds of all the variety and musical television shows, of which there were many during those last few years of innocence before the age of Flower Power and Free Love. The problem was, it was just fantasy, pie in the sky.
In order to run for President of the United States of America it takes millions upon millions of dollars. It takes a crack team of advisors. And it takes a grasp of Beltway politics. Basically every little boy or girl can’t grow up to be President anymore. There’s no way, unless you are a multi-millionaire or have your hands on about $200 million.
Then came Mike Huckabee, the little preacher who could.
Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas isn’t glamorous. He isn’t rich. He isn’t powerful. He is far from wealthy. He has no impressive connections aside from an all-pervading faith in Christ and a wit that can’t wait. But, that’s about it, aside from the fact that he’s probably spent less than eight million dollars.
What?
Barack Obama has raised tens of millions of dollars. Mitt Romney had a personal fortune. Hillary Clinton has her husband’s machine. John McCain has a heck of a lot of guts (and not much else). But, the little governor who could has nothing, but his faith – and Walker, Texas Ranger.
Early into the campaign Mike Huckabee was fortunate enough to attract the attention of Chuck Norris and Ed Rollins. The problem for Mike Huckabee is that’s about it. I have a feeling when all the FEC reports are filed, Chuck Norris is going to have come through as his primary source of funds.
Mike Huckabee has something that is rather refreshing in POTUS candidates. He has a brain, and a razor sharp one at that. His wit and sense of comedic talent made him a hit on SNL. Indeed, he could easily have a second career, and a lucrative one at that as a comedian. Like everyone else he has his short-comings, but they are readily and easily disguised by that smart you know what mouth of his. According to one pundit, he is the only candidate who never uses a teleprompter and shoots straight from the lip.
How has this benefited America?
How has he changed America?
Thanks to Mike Huckabee, every little boy or girl in American can grow up to be President of the United States. All they need is a clean bio and a couple of million dollars. It will help to have a brain.
Mike Huckabee may have given politics back to the average American. He and John McCain make the money grubbing antics of Barack Obama look tawdry and rather disreputable in the process.
