Your support matters…ABC News:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, the front-runner among likely candidates in the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll, was the latest to weigh in, criticizing Obama today for not more publicly supporting Mubarak, who has been a longtime U.S. ally.
“This would not have required us to approve everything he did, or deny the rights of the people of Egypt to demand a change of government,” Huckabee said in an interview with the Jerusalem Post. “But I think it would have been an important symbol to send to the rest of the world, that we don’t just walk away from long-standing allies.”
Some of Huckabee’s potential rivals have made clear they disagree, themselves casting Mubarak aside and suggesting the Obama administration do the same.
