Rafique Tucker, a black moderate-liberal Democratic blogger, likes former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's comments about Sen. Barack Obama's association with controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright: "First off, let me say that I like what Huckabee's saying. I know people will accuse him of excusing Wright's hatred, but he's not. I'm not, and Obama isn't either. Huckabee (and Obama) is simply trying to put things in context, to try and understand where it comes from. It's not right what Wright said, and Wright's comments cannot be justified. They must be rejected in full. We cannot allow ourselves to remain in bitterness and the past, but I think context helps to understand the complex relationship Obama has with his pastor. Nice work by Huckabee, and a pleasant surprise, considering some of things he's said in the past."
