Herman Cain: 'I'm not supposed to know anything about foreign policy'

Politico ^

Now in the class department, you are still somewhere between apartment rental and mobile home category.

My mental level at 5th grade may be a grade too high, but it seems that you have a real snobbish attitude toward folks that live in apartments or live in a mobile home.

What do you think about my skin color? Am I too dark for you?

You may have been in combat, but you've misplaced your sense of honor.

Don't denigrate someone that can only afford to rent an apartment or live in a mobile home; I'll bet the hundred and worst is real proud you have their patch on your bio.

You owe an apology to a bunch of people, but not me, my house is over 6,000 sq ft and has been paid for since the 90s and I don't give a fat rat's ass what you think of my snide posts.

The equation of MSN games with Cain’s intelligence, the statement of “anything” does not compute.

It doesn’t make sense.

[GlockThe Vote]

He is way too gaffe prone for this.

[Java4Jay]

This could be the ‘nail’ if not refuted.

I’m still going with the sarcastic theory “Remember, I’m not “supposed” to know anything about foreign policy”. Kind of mocking the criticism against him.

But I could also see him saying “everthing”, or at least MEANING to say “everything”.

[Java4Jay]

anything – everything.. I see your sarcastic theory but are you too confused? Read your reply.

Remember, he has a southern draw, might be tough for a Wisconsinite to distinguish the two. A huge difference in meaning.

[Java4Jay]

DANG.. I get it, call me slow.

“I’m not supposed to know anything about foreign policy. Just thought I’d throw that out,” he said, a dig at his critics.

He was joking and laughed, being totally sarcastic.

I guess Hermann can’t remember the 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1980, 2004, 2008 campaigns.

A few names come quickly to mind: Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan.

Candidates were expected to discourse knowledgably concerning foreign affairs.

Sorry, I don’t watch video.

[over3Owithabrain]

You’d have to have a point for me to make one for you.

Even if he “misspoke”?

As he has done a time or two.

[mmichaels1970]

My gut tells me he said "everything", NOT "anything" as stated in story.

Mine too. That one little word changes the entire meaning of the sentence. But I wasn't there, so I don't know for sure. I wouldn't put it past anybody in the media to get that word wrong.

[mmichaels1970]

Politico has lost all credibility when it comes to reporting on anything regarding conservatives.

They are MSNBC now....one in the same.

George Washington may not have been the greatest military sharp mind in things military, but , one thing he had was respect, trust from his troops and countrymen.
George Washington had many military blunders, but, his troops would go anywhere in the world if Washington commanded them.
George Washington had a God given gift and destiny of leadership and lead.
George Washington was a man of God's great destiny for this country.

Leader by Destiny: George Washington, Man & Patriot !

It is interesting to note that George Washington was considered an intellectual light weight too.

[MNJohnnie]

Interesting to cast the current GOP field in terms of the Founders.

Gingrich- Ben Franklin worldly corrupt, brilliant speaker and manipulator

Santroum. John Adams, ambitious, principled, self righteously pompous an priggish. Frequently right but always annoying.

Paul. Sam Adams or Thomas Paine. Great rabble rouser, failure at anything else.

Perry.....hmmm have to think about it..

Romney..Benedict Arnold....just kidding.

I love that he's so honest. He's still my guy.
