Le nouveau candidat républicain savait bien qu'il aurait à défendre cette remarque faite au moment où il fut nommé ambassadeur en Chine. Un président démocrate et un ambassadeur républicain. Un des nombreux signes des tentatives d'Obama pour rapprocher les deux partis... Hunstman pourrait être un très bon candidat, sérieux et crédible, mais comme tous les autres il aura maintenant l'attention des médias et scrutera son passé avec attention.
"Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman defended calling President Barack Obama a "remarkable leader" during an interview that aired on Fox News' "Hannity" on Tuesday night.
Huntsman made the positive reference about the president in a letter after Obama appointed him to serve as his administration's U.S. ambassador to China. Huntsman, who formally launched his campaign for the White House on Tuesday, resigned from the post earlier this year.
Asked if he would characterize the president as a "remarkable leader" today, Huntsman said, "No. I think he has failed in a number of ways both in terms of economic governance and stewardship and also internationally." The Republican hopeful continued, "I wrote that after I was appointed. I thought he was a remarkable leader for appointing a Republican to a position as important and sensitive as the U.S. ambassadorship to China.""
