UPDATED with Huckabee spokesman saying his boss misspoke.

Republican presidential prospect Mike Huckabee claimed President Barack Obama grew up in Kenya in a radio interview Monday on WOR’s Steve Malzberg Show, according to a recording posted on the Media Matters site.

Malzberg questions Obama’s birth certificate, health records and college records, and asks Huckabee, “Don’t you think we deserve to know more about this man?â€
