Any comments on Cain’s undercutting of House Republican efforts to link disaster aid increase with cuts in nonsensical green jobs funding? I would argue that Republican efforts to get assertive in this area should not be punished. Of course, the Republicans should learn to explain their positions in ways that voters can understand, but Cain should be helping them do this, not publicly undercutting them the way Newt did on Obamacare.

I actually saw the interview where he discussed this and the rumors are incomplete.
He said that the cuts needed to be made. The Republican’s were correct in this.
But you don’t play politics with tragedy.
He proposed funding FEMA, with the agreement that the cuts would be made later. Help the people in trouble, then deal with the politics later.
