Despite his support, Mr. Hunter said that Mr. Obama does not have “an unrestricted authorization or blank check” to act under the War Powers Resolution, and that Congress does have a role going forward in weighing in on military action.

Mrs. Ferraro’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to several charities, including two multiple myeloma research foundations.

Huckabee could opt for run by summer
CLINTON | Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Monday it will be at least this summer before he decides whether to run for president again, and he’ll only enter the 2012 race if he thinks he can win.
At the same time, Mr. Huckabee praised two-term Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, another potential Republican candidate for the White House.
“One of his greatest assets is, he is maybe the most brilliant political strategist in America today, bar none. In any state,” Mr. Huckabee said during a speech at the Baptist-affiliated Mississippi College in Clinton.
Mr. Huckabee said Mr. Barbour would be “an amazingly strong” presidential candidate because of his fundraising skills and national contacts. Mr. Barbour was Republican National Committee chairman from 1993 to 1997 and chaired the Republican Governors Association from June 2009 through November 2010.
“If he doesn’t run, I would love to have him and his Rolodex be my chairman and develop my strategy should I run. No one I’d rather have on my side,” Mr. Huckabee told reporters.
Mr. Barbour has been hiring consultants and traveling to early contest states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. He says he could announce a campaign in April.
