Herman Cain Stumbles on Question About Libya
The Weekly Standard ^ | 11/14/11 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/14/2011 4:49:05 PM PST by katiedidit1

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain was asked a simple question by the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: "So you agreed with President Obama on Libya, or not?" The response, nearly five minutes long, is painful to watch:

Do the over seas countries have military bases here in the USA? No and why not? Because we would see it for what it was and that is a infringement on our sovereignty.

All of this meddling has happened since ww2 and the creation of the CIA. I can see why JFK wanted to splinter it into 1000 pieces and how Truman regrets ever oking the CIA for what it had become over 50 years ago.

“The Cain hate is so thick on FR you need a cattle catcher to push through it.”

The beltway boys and libs are trying to destroy Herman’s base. What better place to start than FR.

Your verbal diarrhea is not a link. If you make an assertion such as that, you need to be able to substantiate it with a link.

Also you did not answer what EPA stands for, and I cannot make assumptions when it comes to your posts.

If that phone rings at 3 am and the alert is sounded...he better be damn ready and ready fast

Remember when GWB didn't know who the president of Pakistan was (November 1999)? He got one humongous opportunity to cure that deficiency, didn't he?

“This wasn’t in prime time so it shouldn’t get quite the airing.”

I wish that was true, but moments ago our local Seattle area News just played the worse part of it and asked viewers to visit their web site to see the whole interview. In 24 hours this interview will go viral I predict.

And Cain will bank another 100,000 in campaign funds!

No, but if one of those countries had invested billions of dollars and thousands of lives defending our country, I suspect they'd leave something behind to protect their investment. Just not forever, as we seem to be doing.

I appreciate your saying that the truth is the truth.

Sort of like the truth that Mittens can’t seem to remember which truth of climate warming, which truth of abortion, or which truth of mandatory socialized health care he believes in today.

Or the truth that Newt forgot to tell his first wife whilst he was out philandering.

That sort of truth, eh?

Personally, I don’t really care much about 400.00 at the beginning of the decade.

I’m not a big Cain supporter but I detest the MSM picking our candidates. Cain is getting it now, it was Perry, it was Palin, it was Bachmann.

Don’t play into it.

well actually it did get better after Herman got going. But even then he repeated the same point over and over and really did not have much to say. But the beginning was Cain’s Perry moment except it didn’t last as long. Unfortunate as it was an easy question.

"""""The issue of our time isn't competence""""""

The issue of our time is PRECISELY competence. We do not need another on the job trainee. I do not want to see another STUTTERing incompetent in office, and Cain just prove that is who he is. Suspected so from the 1st debate, but now this bungled mess he just uttered.

Does anyone know what he has said, after he has said it, but wait until he retracts the first, then you will know what he really meant to say, if they had just given him more time to collect his thoughts, or something like that.

3 a.m. phone call to President Cain: UH! Hold on Mr. Abajdidddddajohn, be right back with ya.

Say What? Huh! hold on a sec. , or two.

No! I meant to say, Uh, you what? Now don't be so hasty, I got to think about this, have you heard about my 9-9-9 deal? Ok, call ya back in a few.

Well taken. Unfortunately, some on the Board seem intent on attacking their own. The media right now is building up Newt, but rest assured they already have their hit pieces in the hopper to take him down. They’ll drive up his negatives with women in a snap- just like in 1996.

Conservatives should be sticking together-

Our candidates knew the msm would come after them. The preparation for debates, interviews is strenuous. I always thought Palin did a great job when the media tried to nail her. Looks like if you run for public office...you need a backbone made of steel and when you go on tv...better be ready. Sure they all make mistakes but this one was painful to watch. I would not wish it on any candidate..(except Obama)
