Cain took the racial bull by the horns, and this here paleface redneck gives him four cheers for having done that.

Well, according to a poster upthread, it may not have been Cain's idea to bring the subject of race into the interview in the first place.

That said, he didn't need to take the bait. Frankly, it grinds on my nerves to hear black people defaulting to the subject of race at any time, much more so when it's a conservative (which is extremely rare).

Cain could have simply remarked that Obama isn't a strong man. That would have been accurate, and perfectly acceptable. Just what the hell does Obama's being black have to do with the price of tea in China? Nothing.

It was bait, and Cain bit on it. Bad move.

I think it threw egg on Obama’s face. Obama came on a big “oh, I’m black, I got something special you whiteys don’t” schtick, and now here comes Herman Cain saying that Barack Obama doesn’t even do black very well.
