The Destruction Of A Presidency?

Unlike former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, I don’t believe yesterday’s decision on the part of the Obama administration to cease defending the Defense of Marriage Act will “destroy” the President. The public opinion tide is turning on this one, and the country has better things to worry about. But when he says he believes the decision will cause irreparable harm – both political and social – I take him at his word.

In an interview with CBS News political consultant John Dickerson, Huckabee said the decision could "destroy" President Obama, though not marriage itself.

“It may destroy him [Obama], may destroy his credibility, may destroy his campaign and candidacy and ultimately his term in office," Huckabee said. "It takes more than one president to destroy marriage."

In his new book, "A Simple Government," the ordained minister writes that traditional families - those grounded in a marriage between a man and a woman - promote economic stability.

Gov. Huckabee and the other potential 2012 Republican Presidential candidates know the economy is #1 on voters’ minds. Most fascinating about this, will be just how the Republican pack continues to defend their right-wing social stances as job growth strategies.

I guess Gov. Huckabee thinks there is enough there to write a whole book about it…
