This has become Cain's problem now for his using an article filled with lies and deceit as a tool to get noticed and to put another conservative candidate down unjustly.

Of course, this is probably what Obama wanted all along, but still, not cool for Mr. Cain to have taken Obama's bait.
Cain did himself no favors, it’s all downside for him. If there’s any irony to be had in that rancid episode, it’s that the winner may well be the intended target, Perry.
