Mike Huckabee defends Michelle Obama in food fight with Sarah Palin

Washington, Dec 23 (ANI): Potential Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has defended US First Lady Michelle Obama on her push to combat childhood obesity.

He said Sarah Palin was wrong to mock the first lady's fight against childhood obesity in the latest episode of her reality TV show 'Sarah Palin's Alaska', reports the Politico.

"With all due respect to my colleague and friend Sarah Palin, I think she's misunderstood what Michelle Obama is trying to do," the former Arkansas Governor said on the 'Curtis Sliwa Show' on Tuesday. (ANI)
