Tucker Carlson: ‘Herman Cain Is Not Qualified To Be President And We Are All Pretending He Is’
MEDIAITE ^ | 11/09/11 | James Crugnale

On Fox News’s Red Eye, Wednesday morning, The Daily Caller‘s Tucker Carlson made a blunt analysis on Herman Cain‘s abilities to govern as president.

“Come on, can we just stop pretending?” Carlson remarked. “I don’t know what happened with these women, the ‘he said, she said, she said, she said’ thing. He is not qualified to be president, and we are all pretending he is. He’s a nice guy. I know him, I like him. I think he’s a great guy. He would be a better president than the current president, but he can’t explain his own economic plan.”

“Isn’t that all we need — is somebody better than Obama?” asked host Greg Gutfeld.

The country-clubbers have decided on Milt and you filthy peasant “tea-baggers” are just getting in the way. Don’t you people realize who runs this country?

I have to ask Tucker, what are the qualifications to be president in addition to the Constitutional requirements? Certainly, Cain meets those.

The liberals have been pretending Obama’s qualified now since his campaign...and I”ve not seen one iota of improvement from what he was when he started out.

He is more qualified than Obama ever was....or is.
The attacks on Cain and Palin are PROOF that the media and the DC insiders FEAR one of us getting elected.

“Tucker Carlson: ‘Herman Cain Is Not Qualified To Be President And We Are All Pretending He Is’”

Tucker may, or may not be right about that. But I do know Cain is much better qualified than Barack Obama was 3 years ago; and is now.

Barack Obama was an affirmative action president for the left.
He had no qualifircations. He had only his skin color. No one looked beyond that. Biden was right about that part; he was “clean”.

As far as I know, Herman Cain is a natural born citizen who has reached the requisite age, therefore he is qualified.

“not qualified...”

This, coming from the same peripheral anklebiter who said Michael Vick should be executed for his crimes.

I`ll be the first to step up and say Vick should`ve paid a bigger professional price for what he did, but “executed”... please.

Article. II.

Section I.

---SNIP---

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

---SNIP---

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."




Those are the only qualifications he needs.

Your right, but so does Cain. He has said that he would have no problem being Mittens VP and then slammed Perry. Very odd and it gives one pause.

Barack Obama’s laughable lack of experience does not make the case for doing it again, unless you think the Obama presidency has been working well.

What an ass Tucker is proving to be. Isn’t he now banned from Greta Van Sustern’s show?

Well: He said here that he is more qualified than our current Muslim, but still unqualified.

Carlson is probably right. I know he is right about being more qualified than Obama. I have clipped toenails that were more qualified than Obama.

I’ll forever associate Tucker Carlson with his pushing of that vile porno Mike Tyson/Sarah Palin story in his “Daily Caller.” I swear, when I see his face on tv nowadays, I want to puke.
