Facing unease from conservatives, Herman Cain to get specific on foreign policy
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2011 | Jamie Weinstein and Alex Pappas

Almost every day, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is handed a one-page briefing from his chief foreign policy adviser on news from around the world.

It’s one of several things his campaign says the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO, who has never held elective office before, is now doing to bone up on foreign policy — especially as he faces a big test in November at a GOP debate on national security issues.

“He’s really getting up to speed a lot more so than people give him credit for,” J.D. Gordon, Cain’s foreign policy and national security adviser who prepares the briefings, said in an interview with The Daily Caller on Monday.

One of the BEST things about Herman Cain is that he is NOT a career politician.

He can learn foreign policy. And he will make better decisions that those goofballs in Washington no matter what their "experience".

And NOT incidentally, their "experience" is in funnelling taxpayers' money into their own pockets. So much for their "experience".

One of the authors, Jamie Weinstein, wrote a column whining about wanting Christie or Jeb Bush as candidates.

So he's part of the RINO herd pretending there is a problem with Cain.

A good president will appoint cabinet members with knowledge and experience to advise him. That’s what they’re there for. To say Cain has no foreign policy experience is not a show-stopper.

Their dung does have a distinct aroma to it.
