'Even from Politico this is pretty damning.'

Herman Cain has no access to secret breifings. He is not a Washington insider who sits in on government briefings & does not pretend to act like he has inside information.

He is being honest & truthful. I don't see anything damning about that!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Surely you are ignorant or naive. Even Michelle Bachmann has bettered her knowledge in foreign affairs is less time than Cain. Cain has been too busy selling his book and touring around on his popularity parade.

For some reason he sees no reason do do the necessary home work and learn about how Government operates.

Well, Lady J, except for Michele Bachmann none of the candidates are Washington insiders who sit in on the briefings.

You might call it refreshing that Cain admits his ignorance on these things rather than trying to fake it, or you might call it disquieting that he doesn’t seem to know even as much as the average citizen who is interested in foreign policy.

If I know more about Libya than one of the candidates, it’s pretty scary.
