Clueless In Milwaukee: Cain Yet Again Makes The Case For His Unfitness


I’ve got all this stuff twirling around in my head. ~ HERMAN CAIN ON LIBYA

Herman Cain has yet again made a compelling case that Americans would not want him to be the guy in the Oval office who picks up the red phone rings at 3 a.m., badly botching a series of questions on Libya and President Obama’s role in ousting Colonel Moammar el-Qaddafi.

Speaking to the editorial board of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he became badly flustered when asked to assess Obama’s policy toward Libya, raising comparisons to the gaffe last week by another lightweight Republican presidential wannabe, Rick Perry, who couldn’t identify the third of three cabinet agencies he vows to eliminate if elected.

For good measure, Cain also said in recent days that most American Muslims are extremists, gave a contradictory answer about waterboarding during the latest Republican debate on Saturday that focused on foreign policy, and said that as president he would accede to Al Qaeda or another terrorist group and consider authorizing the release of every detainee at Guantánamo Bay in return for the release of a single American soldier.

Meanwhile, seemingly oblivious to her husband’s role in keeping the sexual harassment allegations against him alive, wife Gloria gave an interview to Fox News conservative sycophant Greta van Susteren.

Cain’s penchant for digger deeper holes for himself was alive and well in Milwaukee as he shrugged off his ignorance by saying: “Some people want to say, ‘Well, as president, you’re supposed to know everything.’ No you don’t.”

Maybe not everything, Pizza Man, but a good deal more than you know.

    I agree 100% with you on this one.

    Cain and his supporters attempt to make the argument that an intelligent businessman with virtually no knowledge of politics at any level and even less knowledge of foreign affairs can be effective because of good advisers. But that just isn’t so. If there isn’t a base of knowledge to work from then there is no basis to make decisions on. The final decision rests with the President and if the person in that office knows nothing about the situation and his advisers aren’t unanimous then how can there be an informed decision?

    Shaun-

    You are not giving pizza a chance.

    One might think that you were prejudiced.

    Give up the cracked corn & acorn hulls. Contemplate life over a high cholesterol, low fiber, butt clogging extra cheese pizza for a sure way to a different perspective for once.

    Have an open mind….Give pizza a chance.
