Huckabee says he isn't sure about whether or not he'll run for president.

He says that running for president is about two things, "It's raising an obscene amount of money and secondly, it's defending yourself against these ridiculous attacks from all sides."

Couric asks, "Certainly you must have some inkling of what you want to do. You've experienced running. You were in the primaries; you seemed to enjoy it.

Huckabee responds, "That's why I'm not as eager to do it again."

Couric asks, "Really, was your last experience a real turnoff and if so, why?"

"No it was not a turnoff. I was energized by it," Huckabee explains. "If the campaign were about issues, if it were really going out and talking to people about health care and education, and the transportation infrastructure of this country, securing borders and how we can more strategically place the U.S. in the world, I would love to be involved."

Huckabee also talked about Sarah Palin, how he disagrees with bailouts, marriage, health care and even how he was offended by the pictures of President Barack Obama bowing to Japan's emperor. Huckabee's full interview, divided by topics is available on CBSNews.com.
