President Should Be Communicator in Chief

I was a little skeptical about attending a Mike Huckabee event. I hadn't even given him much thought as a viable candidate, but with the latest poll numbers and his rapid rise in popularity, it was important to sit up and take notice.

I didn't have any expectations going into the event, so I was open-minded about what Huckabee and the other speakers in support of his campaign had to say.

And he did in fact say one thing that really stuck with me. "One of the most important jobs other than being the Commander in Chief is to be the Communicator in Chief." I realized after having heard 4 of the frontrunners speak in person (and all of the others either on the Senate floor or on television), that regardless of who wins, it seems we will have a president who will be able to effectively communicate with the American people for the first time in 8 years.

Huckabee went on to discuss the need for unity and less Republican versus Democrat in what was the highlight of the "Chuck and Huck" event in Des Moines tonight.
