Huckabee Claims Obama Grew Up In Kenya

March 3, 2011 | ISSUE 47•09

In a radio interview, former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee wrongly stated that President Obama grew up in Kenya with his Kenyan grandfather. What do you think?

It's impossible to know where the president grew up unless he releases his official long-form growing-up records."

Well, how would Mike Huckabee know that unless Mike Huckabee was growing up next door to Barack Obama in Kenya himself?"

Frank Gordon
Social Secretary
No, no, no—he was just born in Kenya. He got his terrorism training somewhere else."
