Why I liked Jon Huntsman

I watched Jon Huntsman on Morning Joe Monday morning, and I was reminded why I liked him so much. He didn't sugar-coat anything, and in many ways bashed both President Obama and the Tea Party. He said that the country wants a leader, and the President really wasn't leading. He also said that the Tea Party now was so far right, they refused to let him talk at a conservative conference because he said that there were things that the President did right, and that abortion is a law that as long as it is legal should be enforced, like any other law. He compared the Tea Party to communist China, where no one who disagrees with the power can speak. And he was right on all his facts, and all his opinions about what is going on in the country. He ripped the President, the Congress, and many other seats of power, including corporations. Why the Tea Party didn't nominate this guy, I only have 1 idea: He was an ambassador in the Obama administration, and working for the good of the country is completely against the Tea Party way.
