I guess Huckabee has a problem when people are just too black for his delicate sensibilities

Huckabee Slams Obama for Letting Daughters Listen to Beyoncé

Tuesday, Jan 13, 2015 • Updated at 4:27 PM EST

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has accused President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle of parenting by double-standard, in an interview published Tuesday, saying they shelter their daughters from some things but allow them to listen to the music of Beyoncé.

While promoting his new book, Huckabee told People magazine, "I don't understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything - how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school ... and yet they don't see anything that might not be suitable" in the lyrics and a Beyoncé choreography "best left for the privacy of her bedroom."

Huckabee described the Grammy Award-winning Beyoncé in his book as "mental poison."
The first lady's office declined to comment on Huckabee's comments.

One of his son's was accused several years ago of killing a dog at a summer camp he worked at. Huckabee was Gov. at the time so he was able to pull some strings so his son never had to answer for this. What a dumb ass!

The woman panelist on Bill Maher last week took a swing aimed at starting her campaign to run for governor in CA in four years. Huck wants to get noticed.
