Huckabee, "An Ounce Of Prevention"

Mike Huckabee knows first hand the importance of prevention and early action.  Once a blimp, doctors told Huckabee to deflate or face drastic medical intervention and or an early death.  He worked off over 100 plus pounds and continues to maintain a healthy regimen.

Americans are famous for waiting until a situation balloons into an impending disaster and then implementing crisis management.  Huckabee tends to take the prevention course, hard as it may be.  On healthcare, he may be the best advocate for early education and prevention.  On illegal immigration, he wants to build the “Big Fence” yet help those already here.  On taxes, he believes that an increase now to cure a problem is better than paying for long-term intensive care. His stance on education is a catchall.  Educate the children for all of our futures regardless of their origin.

Some call him a “good-ole-boy”.  Well, if being raised in the same town as Bill Clinton, then maybe so.   Some of our best leaders have been down to earth and viewed our nation’s problems from the ground up.  When things in my family went to hell in a hand basket, Grandma always had a calming solution and intervened in a timely manner.  When things returned to normal, she would say a stitch in time and such things.
