Huckabee Slams Obama for Letting Daughters Listen to Beyonc - ABC News
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has accused President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, of double standards in parenting, saying in an interview published Tuesday that the first family shelters its daughters from some things but allows them to listen to the music of Beyoncé.
The sharp rhetoric signals that, should he run for the Republican presidential nomination, Huckabee would make cultural and social issues the cornerstones of his campaign.

Can anyone remember what Huckabee's son was arrested for? Was it the torture and killing of a dog or was it a weapon's charge. Sometimes it's difficult keeping up.
The OP mis-titles this thread. It is not the case that Huckabee is "going after" Obumbler's DAUGHTER(s).
It IS the case that Huckabee is going after Obumbler's and Michele's parenting decisions.
That's not a small distinction.
In any case, Huckabee seems to be wrong. Beyoncé may or may not serve as much of a role model for today's girls, but to suggest that any parent is somehow obligated to impose censorship over the kids' musical tastes at their ages? Well, Huckabee is a bit of a dufus.
Huckabee is attacking Obamas daughters for their taste in music and the Obamas for bad parenting
Typical rightwing hate
^ typical left wing bullshit. No. He IS going after Obumbler on the basis of some perceived defect in Obumbler's parenting skills. It is Huckabee blathering, not right wing hate.
That said, it is clearly NOT Huckabee "attacking" the girls at all.
Are the Obamas forcing the girls to listen to Beyoncé?
No.......he is attacking the girls for their selection of music
Are Obumbler and the First "Lady" denying their girls the ability to listen to Beyoncé?
No.... so Huckster is attacking the parents for lousy parenting skills.
And that doesn't mean Huckster is making any sense. But that is all he's saying. The claim that he is in ANY way attacking the daughters is bullshit.
Unlike most teenaged girls, Beyoncé is a personal friend of the girls. Of course they will listen to her music
The girls are showing they are more in touch with popular culture than the Huckster. They also have more class
