How (not) To Talk About Obama

FoxNews on MLK/inauguration weekend presented a contrast in styles.

Mike Huckabee used the occasion to highlight the amazing legacy of King; have a civil conversation with the former New York governor Mario Cuomo on both Lincoln’s legacy and the relationship of religion to politics; and to surprise 76 African American students and their teacher with tickets to Obama’s inauguration.

Next up on Fox, Sean Hannity declared the new President “off the tracks” before he had even took office.

Which approach is more likely to draw citizens who voted for Obama back to the Party of Lincoln?

Undoubtedly, criticism and loyal opposition will be required. But Huckabee is finding the way to make lemonade from the lemons of defeat. Hannity just sounds sour and bitter.
