Watch Herman Cain Flounder With Libya Question During Editorial Board Interview

video
» 280 comments

Since becoming the GOP frontrunner, Herman Cain has had to deal with a far greater degree of scrutiny. For the last two weeks, the media has taken a much closer look at allegations of sexual harassment that have dogged his campaign of late, but the more challenging questions have focused on Cain’s readiness for the office of commander in chief. Take, for example, his recent interview with the editorial board at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, in which a seemingly easy question about the Obama administration’s handling of the uprising in Libya threw the GOP presidential candidate for a Rick Perry-esque loop.

Cain’s detractors have consistently dismissed the former restaurant industry executive and motivational speaker, claiming that he is not a serious candidate. The homespun and folksy manner in which he speaks on the campaign trail may have resonated with a disenfranchised Tea Party base, but in the context of actual foreign policy, Cain’s critics see banal and oversimplified explanations. The brain freeze exhibited in the clip below evokes that of Rick Perry’s notorious debate gaffe from last week, though this was in a far less public setting.

If a working knowledge of current foreign policy is a prerequisite to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate, then the following video suggests that Cain is, in fact, not ready for prime time. If his presidential run somehow gets derailed, however, he can still hold on to his dream of becoming the Secretary of Defense.

    Simply amazing.  This is the person the GOP had as their front-runner until very recently.  It says all you need to know about the GOP and what they have to offer in this election.  They have no one.  So who are the fools that want to own up to supporting this idiot?  Come on now… raise your hands.  LMFAO.  The GOP has become a caricature of itself.

    So what the hell was the question….?
    “So you agreed with President Obama on Libya or not?”

    Could he be any more vague?
    What the hell does that mean?
    There are about ten different things that could mean and Cain asked him to be specific which he was not.

    That would be like saying “So you agree with President Obama on restoring the economy?”

  • Rex the Wonder God

    The comment on Libya was pure comedy, as good as anything Paul Paulsen ever came up with on the Smothers Brothers show when he “ran for president”.

    But the best part was when he talked about collective bargaining. Creepy Cain is IN FAVOR of public employee unions, and he’s also SPECIFICALLY in favor of the NFFE!

    Seriously! This is WAY more definitive than his confused position on abortion rights. 

    Now he’s going to have to walk it back … all the way back. It won’t work, because he’ll get tired, and backslide, and dissemble into genuine American frontier gibberish.

    I think the idea that folks like Cain are in this to make Romney look more acceptable is looking more and more sound. I think Rove came up with the idea for this goofy GOP Show, sort of like Lorne Michaels for the politically depraved, and then the Not Ready For Big Time Players took the Show away from his control.

    If the question was so vague, why would he not agree with it? Or is it not just the default Republican stance to say ‘OBAMA SUCKS’ and then try to backfill it with inane, vague, logic?

  • Rex the Wonder God

    Romney versus Not Romney. The Flip-Flopper versus the Fatuous Fathead. A classic. Like Buster Douglas against a sumo wrestler. Who can talk the most while saying the least? Big edge to Fathead. Who can imply the most positions without sticking to any of them? The edge there goes to Mittens. Is there any chance McConnell’s “the American people” will come out better informed? Nah. Worse informed? Hard to see how. MIS-informed? A lead pipe certified guarantee.

    I never understand why people would make judgement on things they don’t know or have a complete information on except for the fact that it makes a good sound bite. Senator Obama opposed the wars that he’s prolonged, going to war without authorization from Congress (thus the no war, but war in Libya), Quantanamo prison, federal wiretaps ( which have expanded under Obama administration) … et cetera. As President he has done virtually everything he criticized President Bush for especially on foreign policy. “Change comes from the bottom up …” says Senator Obama, yet he voted for bailing out Wall Street and as President he’s presided over the distribution of some TARP money. President Obama supposedly used part of the stimulus money to bail out or support companies who spent millions of federal money to create a few jobs. President Obama was against nation building yet America is in Afghanistan and partly in Iraq, no matter what the media says. I thought “change we can believe in” was doing something different from the way Washington have always done things. 
      Governor Clinton compared to President H. Bush had no foreign policy experience. Governor W. Bush wasn’t a match on foreign policy level compared to Vice President Al Gore. Governor Reagan had a clear premise from which he pursued his foreign policy “peace through strength”. In the same way Herman Cain have laid down his premise through which he’d pursue his foreign policy “… clarity”. It’d seem to me that it’s therefore reasonable to ascertain that he intends to be meticulous and deliberate in his foreign policy judgments or decisions. Herman Cain as president wants to have intelligence reports before drawing conclusions on things that are not so black and white. 
     President Obama’s decision on Libya? He had none!!! President Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel, Secretary Clinton, Senator McCain … etc, prodded President Obama into supporting the Libyan uprising against Qaddafi. 
     Herman Cains premise of foreign policy “peace through strength and clarity” is actually an off-shoot of Governor Perry’s “zero foreign (monetary) aids” until he knows which side each and every country is on before issuing out  monetary aids. CLARITY!!!!!! Romney, Gingrich too. 
     What Cain lacks are the thesaurus words of foreign policy, it’s not the same as not knowing. Of course Cain will not be comfortable with drawing conclusion on things he doesn’t have intelligent reports on. Thus he said he’d not support an uprising without knowing the principals, their abilities and idea of governance. Which would not include chaos or the killing of Christians.
     ENOUGH OF THE SO CALLED MAINSTREAM MEDIA DISSEMINATING LIES !!!!!!!

    Is it becoming clear to people that Herman Cain hasn’t the slightest idea what he’s talking about unless the subject matter is pizza?

    Cain believes that he can go from no political experience, to the Presidency without, knowin­g any detail of the many domestic and internatio­nal issues that would confront him in office.

    Playing the devil’s advocate and trying to give
    Herb the benefit of the doubt by throwing out the considerable amount of floundering,
    stalling for time, and repetition of the same point, Cain still failed
    miserably.

    After much too much effort Cain finally settled on the answer that “I
    would have done a better job determining who the opposition was because there
    was not enough done relative to accessing the opposition.”

    OK, if that’s his answer, fine.  What makes Herb look foolish on top of
    stupid is that when the interviewer asked him, “So you don’t think those
    things were accessed?” Herb admitted “I don’t know that they were or
    were not accessed.”

    It took him five minutes to say the President was wrong for not fully accessing
    a situation then admits he doesn’t know whether the President accessed the
    situation or not.  WTF?

    Remember teabaggers this is one of your best and brightest.

    Herman Cain quotes? It’s no secret that Herman Cain have a good knowledge on discussing the economy. He’s also stated that urban empowerment zones needs ways of attracting business. Cain have been a successful businessman for years, he’s surgically grown every business that he’s had a hand in. He doesn’t break down companies instead he restructures and grows the business.

    That explanation will not cut any mustard, especially since being POTUS requires that you are available and alert to all conditions.

    Cain will not get a pass for tiredness. JD Gordon can make all the excuses in the sky, but it will just simply drain support. 

    …Who exactly is kidding whom?  Cain has to know some of this, expect to be questioned and have informed, readied and competent answers. Not umm and aaah indefinitely.

    As for the new president Sunni Muslim Abdel-Rahim al-Keeb, from Tripoli, was elected by 26 votes cast by 51 members of the NTC. Now this comes from The Daily Mail so it could be a little suspect but it will have to do. Whatever the Libyans do it will be best for them NOT the US, who you may be surprised to know DON’T pwn their country.

Well, since Obama have been President how did he help attract business in urban areas? What he does best is stay on his high horse and give credence to occupy wall street while local businesses lose money because of these demonstrations. How about that shovel ready projects?

    Enough with blaming the media already.  Cain is being rightfully criticized because of what HE said, not because of something the media said.

    If Cain can say that people are out of work because it’s their own fault, then it’s fair for the rest of us to say that his inability to string together a coherent answer on relevant foreign policy matters is HIS own fault.

    I expect to hear from self-styled “serious” presidential candidates a reasonably learned and intelligent response on critical foreign policy issues.  If I wanted to hear made-up drivel, I’d ask a bartender or watch the Miss America pageant.

    Cain has had months to examine what happened in Libya and draw his own reasoned conclusions.  If Cain thinks Obama was wrong, I expect to hear how Cain would have done it differently.

    What we have here is a candidate who first decides he’s against Obama, then puts off coming up with a reason for some other day.  He waited to long to come up with a reason, and got caught by the question with his pants down (no pun intended).

    And what is your response?  Blame the question, of course.

    Gotta pick on one point. You, we, have no idea how much intelligence Obama had before he made his decision on Libya and Gaddafi. The one point Cain did make well is that such intelligence is essential, and you do that too, but we cannot assume that Obama had zero intelligence and made his decision(s) on what foreign leaders or American politicians told him to do.
    We all know now that Libya has not gone to total anarchy or produced a new leader who is as bad as Gaddafi was.
    I say it is a safe bet that Libya will settle down and be a lot more like Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and lots of other places that are nice to us.

    Someone tell Ann Coulter that “their blacks” can’t answer simple questions.

    Oh, and Colin Powell endorsed Obama.

    This journalist is no fan of either Rick Perry or Herman Cain, but he does think it’s possible that their political opponents have arranged for their silent assault and impairment with a U.S. government microwave radio frequency directed energy weapon system that is deployed on cell towers nationwide, under operational command and control of military contractor Lockheed Martin.

    How do Hermanites continue to follow this man!? You would think at some point, maybe after this one, they will just bust out laughing and say “we were just messin with you America!!!”
    How ignorant can a single group of people be!?

    That’s the best they got, and it’s been repeated hundreds of thousands times.  It’s like clockwork.  Also, apparently Obama is not qualified, but they are throwing their weight behind Cain, who is qualified to run a business…IMO.

    You’re joking but he did just that later that evening when asked about this Liibya interview.  Check out this video starting at 5:57 I kid you not.

    Except Huntsman? 

    There is only one accomplished, intelligent, competent, honest and rational candidate on either side in this election.  His name is Gary Johnson.

     I am glad this video was posted.
    I missed it last night because I was busy watching Gabby Giffords do her Helen Keller imitation.

    Could you IMAGINE Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice EVER embarrassing themselves as badly as Cain has during this campaign?   It just goes to show you…the inmates run the asylum in today’s GOP.

    No, actually I was reminded of the “Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?” question… I don’t recall now who it was who asked the question, but he or she really had no idea what the Bush Doctrine was.

    Cain seems a little shell-shocked — the last couple weeks have been very stressful for him. But he is still my top choice of those who are currently running. He has made some mistakes, but they are tiny mistakes compared to the ones that Barack Obama has made and continues to make.

    Rice holds a Ph.D. in Political Science, and is considered an Expert on the former Soviet Union. Colin Powell was a General (Four Stars), National Security Adviser, and Secretary of State, and holds an MBA.

    Lower than Obama’s destruction of America?
    I think not.

  • Anonymous

     Obama is not the concern here. Your disgusting comment about Gabby Giffords is.  Only the lowest form of human life would turn her struggle with recovery into a sick joke.

    Top choice over Obama? Cain? Are you freaking serious? Mistakes Obama has made compared to a guy (Cain) who doesn’t have a freaking clue what he is even talking about when it come’s to foreign policy. TELL ME JERRY was Obama’s decision to green light the bin laden raid a mistake? GET REAL!!!

  • Jerry Baustian

    The Navy SEALS collected a lot of extremely valuable intel from the raid, and if Obama had just kept quiet about it for a few days, then a great many high-profile terrorists could have been captured.

    But no, he had to blab about it right away, and so give those terrorists a warning to vacate their safe houses and find new hiding places.

    If Obama had placed a higher priority on national defense than on his own reelection, the country would be far better off today.

    Herman needs to go on the offensive!  Instead of just issuing blanket denials, he should claim that he was the CEO of the NRA and therefore had to train the NRA members how to increase security at their restaurants.  In order to protect restaurant patrons from possible female terrorists, he believed that the best way to do so was to reach under the dresses of all the beautiful patrons and stroke their thighs and panties in a search for concealed weapons and bombs!  He should argue that the receipt of only a handful of complaints from women who claim they were harassed, is proof positive that everybody else knew exactly what he was trying to teach them.
