Mike Huckabee blasted Barack Obama’s credibility for allowing you to keep your guns saying “we don’t buy it, we don’t believe it.”

During the Fox Business Network undercard debate, Huckabee said Obama “has lost his credibility and his inept inability to work with Congress and pass legislation has led him to do what I never even imagined doing as a governor and that’s just going and doing it my own way.”

While discussing getting rid of the visa waiver program, Huckabee said while it “may slow it down” international commerce “a slowed down commerce that is making us safer is worth it.”

“This lady who came and joined with the San Bernardino killer and passed three background checks and that’s why a lot of Americans didn’t buy it when the President said, ‘We’ll bring in Syrian refugees, but don’t worry, we’ll check them out.'”

“We have a lot of confidence in a president who told us ‘we could keep our doctor, we could keep our health insurance, it would cost us less.’ And now the latest is, ‘If you like your gun, you can keep it too,’ and frankly, we don’t buy it, we don’t believe it. He has lost his credibility.”

Obama’s “inept inability to work with Congress and pass legislation has led him to do what I never even imagined doing as a governor and that’s just going and doing it my own way.”

Huckabee said presidents are elected “to lead… to be able to shepherd things through. And if I can do it with a 90 percent Democrat legislature in Arkansas, there’s no excuse for any president not being able to lead in Washington if he knows what the heck he is doing when he gets there.”
