Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee suggested on Sunday that President Barack Obama had not taught his children that Beyonces music was not wholesome because the Obamas lived on the wrong side of the cultural divide. Huckabee had said that he didnt understand why the Obamas could be so concerned about what their daughters ate, and yet they dont see anything that might not be suitable for a teen in some of the lyrical content and choreography of Beyoncé.
On Sunday, the former Arkansas governor told ABC host Martha Raddatz that people needed understand the context of his comments. Beyonce is a wonderful talent, he admitted. My point is, she doesnt have to do some of the things that she does in the lyrics because its not necessary. She has nothing to make up for. Shes an amazing talent.
My point was, even in speaking about the Obamas, and I said about them in [my new] book, theyre great parents, Huckabee continued. But it was President Obama in Glamour who said that some of the lyrics, he wont listen to with his daughters because it embarrasses him. Well, heres my point, if it embarrasses you then why would you possibly think its wholesome for your children to put it into their heads?
Huckabee, who recently quit his Fox News hosting job to explore a presidential campaign, argued that Barack and Michelle Obama were great parents
theyre careful about making sure their kids get a lot of vegetables and eat right. Well, what you put in your brain is also important, he added. Its about this cultural divide, the disconnect between the three bubbles of New York, D.C. and Hollywood vs. the land of Gods, Guns, Grits and Gravy.
