By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who wrote about his 100-pound weight loss in 2005, is back in his fat suits, thanks to 25 pounds gained because of a painful foot ailment. "I still run, but not more than 3 miles at a time, not the 10-to-12—and more—milers before," he tells Whispers. But he's fighting back with protein shakes. "I'll be back to full speed in a few months," adds the likely 2012 GOP presidential candidate.

Huckabee

Good luck, fatboy! I actually like 'ol Huck... he's smart, well read, articulate. But I just can't get over his born again, holy roller beliefs. That he discounts evolution, and thinks the Bible is the literal truth about a 6-day creation, ices it for me. I want a reason based, not a faith based president and government, so we don't end up in some theocratic hellhole. If the Republicans can't do any better than this, it's Omama all the way in 2012, baby!

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
