Barack Obama has chosen a possible 2012 rival to "exile" to Communist China as the United States Ambassador... Utah's Republican Governor, Jon M. Huntsman Jr. comes with a swelled resume in Government and Foreign Relations, ie.; White House Staff Assistant in the Reagan Administration, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore under George H.W. Bush, and a U.S. Trade Representative under George W. Bush. One top of all of that he and his family both lived and worked in Taipei, Tiawan in the late 80's as an LDS Mission Representative. Gov. Huntsman speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.
I feel he is the right candidate for the job, but I just wonder why he accepted so quickly? Exactly what was Obama's motive behind his choice of nominee for this Post? How much influence did Hilliary have in the decision-making over Obama selecting Governor Huntsman? What better way to take a person out of the loop as a potential Presidential Campaign rival in 2012, or any other year than this? Didn't Sen. John McCain suggest Gov. Huntsman as a possible Republican Candidate in 2012? Which brings up another question; What happened to all of the Republican enthusiasm over Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, or Mark Sanford of S.C.? Just a couple months ago these were the Republican Parties new rising Stars... What happened? Maybe after watching Obama and his Democrat Cronies (plus Specter, Snowe, and Collins Rino's all) run up a deficit of $9.3 Trillion Dollars by 2013 all three said "No Way!".
Maybe we could talk someone like Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. the Republican Minority Whip in the House to step up to the plate... His opponents would probably attack his Jewish religious background, as did Mitt Romney's opponents attack his Morman religious beliefs in the 2008 Primaries, but it wouldn't be the first time Congressman Cantor has faced that kind of predjudism. Congressman Cantor has served as Chairman of the Congressional Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, and as Committee Member on the House Finacial Services Committee and the all powerful House Ways and Means Committee. We could recruit Louisianna's Governor, Bobby Jindal to run on the same ticket with Congressman Cantor! Bobby Jindal has a M.Litt. Degree in Political Science from the University of Oxford, and is a Rhodes Scholar to boot. Oh! by the way... Governor Jindal is a Roman Catholic for any of you who who cares. He was born a Hindu but converted to Catholism while in high school. I would definitely campaign for and vote for a Cantor/Jindal ticket in 2012, wouldn't you?
