Why don’t you research Herman Cain’s biography before knee-jerking to his ‘gotcha’ responses to the likes of Christiane Amanpoop.
Cain is obviously a man who treats people as if they were as honest and forthright as he. Many of us have experienced back-stabbing in the work place because we were too trusting.
I hope he reflects on how he’s being ‘played’ by the media. Smiling at him while dealing those ‘race cards’.
Herman Cain’s Enron-esque Disaster
Cain served on the board of directors throughout Aquila’s ill-fated trading misadventure and the subsequent collapse of the company’s retirement fund. In fact, he chaired the board’s compensation committee, which, according to the lawsuit, had direct oversight of the push to get employees to invest more and more in Aquila stock. As chair of the compensation committee, Cain also saw fit to dole out $30 million in bonuses, not including stock options, to the top five execs at Aquila in 2002, with the company’s stock plummeting. A month after the Kansas City Star reported on the hefty bonuses in July 2002, the company laid off 500 employees, and the losses to employees holding company stock had reached hundreds of millions of dollars.
As a board member, Cain would’ve had direct knowledge of Aquila’s activities, says Fred Taylor Isquith, a New York attorney who litigated the employee class action. Asked if it was fair to place blame on Cain for the debacle at Aquila, Isquith replied, “Yes, I believe it is.”

I haven’t heard of any other “baggage” for Cain. We’ll see if this story matters.
I agree with you 100%.
Like Mr. Cain, I do poorly with “Gotcha” questions because I am basically an honest and straightforward person; and often mistakenly assume the same with others in their relationships with me.
I have been hurt by this many times, all the way back to Grammar School.
I suppose it is better than becoming as duplicitous, underhanded, and spiteful as our adversaries.
So...I still get caught by it once in a while. Knowing that Herman has a spirit similar to mine only makes me love him more.
PS: I hate the “N Word” too, and I am not even Black.
