In Orlando today, Herman Cain discussed his answer on Libya to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. From Politico:
“Do I agree with siding with the opposition? Do I agree with saying that Qadhafi should go? Do I agree that they now have a country where you’ve got Taliban and Al Qaeda that’s going to be part of the government?” Cain asked reporters, rhetorically. “Do I agree with not knowing the government was going to — which part was he asking me about? I was trying to get him to be specific and he wouldn’t be specific.”
For Cain, whose campaign recently tried to fight back the narrative that he doesn’t know anything about foreign policy by stressing that he had been studying for months now, this has not been a good week. Next week, AEI and Heritage are hosting a GOP debate that will focus on foreign policy and national security. For Cain, that’s going to be an especially crucial debate.
Oh...my...God.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAt least he didn't throw in the SS and the KGB.
Has Cain even lived on this planet for the past ten years?
Hey, at least Cain doesn't strap his dog to the top of his car when he goes on family vacations and then tell reporters about it in an effort to demonstrate he's a "regular guy".
Does Romney ever make a gaffe? You'd never know reading this website.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseA gaffe? This guy has no clue what's going on in Libya. The average primary voter probably knows more.
Not only that, but after his ignorance became a story, he didn't bother to study up on the subject.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseJason,
So we need to go vote for the Father of Obamacare in Romney, because Cain doesn't know jack about Libya?
Is there anybody out there smart enough for you besides Romney?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'm not a Romney supporter, I'm an Obama supporter. But your dislike of Romney and Obama doesn't make Cain qualified to be president. Isn't it clear he's not even casually interested in current affairs? You could only read editorial cartoons and be more informed than Cain. I'd be embarrassed to have a friend that clueless.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'd be embarrased to admit I'm an Obama supporter, who is easily the worst president in our history. The man makes gaffes all the time, and he thinks money grows on trees, and he can't spit out two lines without 5 huge teleprompters what to say. On top of that, he's aloof and just plain dull.

You're a fool if you actually believe this. I understand that it probably makes your liver feel good to utter such things, but the reality is far different.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI've noticed there have been a lot of Obama supporters on National Review comment board lately. It seems to coincide with the rise of Cain.
What they hate about Cain is that Cain is a cool dude....he's got a Samuel Jackson type of personality. They understand charisma wins elections and they know Obama is aloof and dull and annoying. Let's face it, most people would like to have a beer and talk with Cain. Nobody wants to have a drink with Obama. He has no personality.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseClick my username and you'll see I've been here long before Cain was a candidate for office.
Who cares who you'd rather have a drink with? You can have a drink with Cain even if he isn't president. Have you ever had a drink with a friend or are you waiting for one to first be elected president?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseJason, how do you have any friends if you support Obama? What does Obama know about anything?
He's going to stimulate that economy for us, guy?
Was this the hope and change you got excited about there, Occupy Wall Street boy?
Let's face it, Obama going to lose. You can't win elections when you as horrible as he has been.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWell, most voters did vote for Obama. It's not like we're rare.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThat's true, but you will be rare now that Obama has to run on his horrible record and not platitudes about hope, change and "hey, I'm black". :)
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbusePeople want to have a beer with Cain because he has a Samuel Jackson type of personality? If only I could insert a clip from the Chapelle Show where he does a "Sam Adams" parody commercial for Samuel Jackson beer: "Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!"
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSo the solution is to nominate a cipher like Cain who will get demolished in the general? You'd be happy with that?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNext.
Nice man, but I think Allred might have caused some damage when she whacked him upside the head with that blonde.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseLOL.. best post of the day! :-)

It's funny though, the caption to post this message was "know more get better". Maybe you ought to do the same Trinko.

Thank you, Sheikh Obvious: we and a few million other people figured as much. Al-Qaeda was in an ideal position to be a major beneficiary of the Great Libyan Jihadist Garage Sale.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAre there Republican voters who rush home from a long day of work to listen to the latest news on Libya?
To me, it's a big YAWN.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIt took no effort to learn about our involvement in Libya. It was on every news website, every foreign affairs blog, every news show, every newspaper, the daily show, twitter, Facebook. It's really baffling how someone could miss it.
