Noting that President Barack Obama said years ago that he opposed gay marriage because of his Christian beliefs, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee openly questioned those beliefs Friday because the president had since changed his position.
Huckabee spoke with Fox New’s Laura Ingraham about his own comments regarding same-sex nuptials. He had told an Iowa audience Tuesday that his opposition was “on the right side of the Bible.” On Friday, he argued that it was the same stance that Obama had taken in 2008.
“He said it was because of his Christian convictions. Does he have them or does he not?” Huckabee told Ingraham. “If one has them, they don’t change depending on what the culture does. You don’t take an opinion poll to come up with a new point of view.”
He laid out three possible scenarios to explain the president’s change of heart: “Were you lying then or are you lying now or did the Bible get re-written?”

“Were you lying then or are you lying now or did the Bible get re-written?”
When Huckabee’s church concluded that the sun revolved around the earth – and then changed it’s mind – was it lying then, is it lying now, or has the Bible been re-rewritten?
Funny how only parts of the Bible are used to measure the commitment to Christian principles.
Any politician who uses their religion as the basis for public policy loses my vote. If they are trying to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of the country, they obviously do not understand the constitution and do not deserve my vote.
PS this is my first comment, so please excuse me if this shows up in the wrong place.
The Bible was written by men for men . Has nothing to do with God or Jesus .
“Were you lying then or are you lying now or did the Bible get re-written?”
This is what the people who came to this country were trying to get away from. What happened?
Huckabee is not one to be JUDGING the beliefs of others considering the Bible says “Don’t judge”. … Or did that part get rewritten, Mike?
