Where President Obama was born is the conspiracy theory that won't go away, but there is no dispute about where he grew up. He did not grow up in Kenya. Furthermore, he barely knew his father. Huckabee was just plain wrong. What troubled me more was that he then tried to wave it off as no big deal, just a mistake. I like Huckabee reasonably well, for a Republican <g>, but this did not increase my admiration.
