This isn't the first time Jon Huntsman's work for the Obama administration has been an issue. And it won't the last, especially if Huntsman -- who is leaving his post as U.S. ambassador to China -- ends up running for the GOP presidential nomination.
The Daily Caller reports:
“You are a remarkable leader,” Huntsman wrote to Obama in an Aug. 16, 2009 note, underlining the word “remarkable,” “and it has been a great honor getting to know you.”
The letter thanks Obama for “the graciousness and kindness you have shown me and my family – particularly your confidence in my ability to represent you in China.” Huntsman said he was “leaving behind a state we love – but anticipating an extraordinary experience in Beijing.”
The response from Huntsman's camp:
Reached for comment about the letters, a political strategist who supports Huntsman tried to pin their release on the Obama White House.
“Need further proof that the White House fears Jon Huntsman? I think not,” the source said.
The person who sent the letters to TheDC did so on the condition their identity not be disclosed.

There are millions who thought Obama-Get-A-Clue was a remarkable leader based on his campaigning.
THen reality set in. For some it took a little longer than for others.
But, in the end most Americans see this guy is incapable of leading.
He loves the applause and celebrity aspect of being a President. But, not the responsibility or decision making.
There must be someone out there who is capable of leading this country back to prosperity. It sure isn't Obama.
