Huckabee calls Bush's policies taking away state's rights 'horrible'

By James Pindell March 14, 07 02:57 PM

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee said the Bush Administration's efforts to federalize areas like education "has been horrible" and is not in line with the Bill of Rights.

Campaigning in New Hampshire Wednesday, Huckabee said on an hour-long talk show at New Hampshire Public Radio that Bush and the Republican Congress were trying to take power away from states.

"What happened to the 10th Amendment?" asked Huckabee, referring to the amendment granting individual states all responsibility on issues not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution.

Besides the radio show, Huckabee is also appearing at a fund-raiser for state Senator Bob Clegg.
