Might as well have a government that tells people what sort of profession they can enter. Good health should be a personal choice and not a social engineering project. A lot of what Huckabee says sounds like the groundwork for some attempt at looking more "compassionate" during his Presidential run. He's also got a bad habit of ethical lapses (taking thousands of dollars worth of gift cards while AR governor) and mis-spending state funds (dropping over a half million dollars to destroy 83 state computers that really didn't need destroying in the first place). He's a narrow minded, fundamentalist ideologue from the Bill Frist school (he just hired a former Frist advisor as his campaign manager) who's jousting with Sam Brownback for the far right wing of the GOP.
In other words, good for him losing weight but he's no role model.....
