ALEXANDRIA, Va. Its getting rougher on the campaign trail for Herman Cain and for the people who cover him.
Mr. Cain arrived at a Hilton hotel in suburban Virginia on Wednesday morning for what was advertised to the news media as a meeting on health care reform, which was to be followed by a news conference. But he immediately disappeared into what organizers of the meeting, Docs4PatientCare, called a closed-door session. Upon emerging, a mob of hotel security and other campaign personnel pushed back against the assembled photographers, and a little bit of a scrum and tussle ensued, with at least one newspaper photographer taking a hard blow to the face.
All the while, Mr. Cain, who looked unusually agitated in the center of it all, was screaming: Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!
The mob, with Mr. Cain still in the middle, made its way into a second conference room where Mr. Cain delivered a short statement that borrowed lines from his stump speech. I was thrilled to be here, he said, adding later, I feel passionate about the repeal of Obamacare.

Herman Cain is being Palin’d...
His China comment is already being portrayed as his “I Can See Alaska From My House!” moment...
The “mob” with Cain..good Lord. Do these people know how stupid they look with their blatant bias and hate!
I am no longer candidate-less.
The enemy of my enemy is my candidate.
The Times focuses its attention on Hermain Cain.
I haven’t seen video, but how tense could it be, really? The reporters are just putting in a dishonest day’s work, and Cain may be a nice fella but he’s running for president, not going about his daily life, and knows it. He can’t take things all that seriously.
That's a real shame.
He has nothing to gain by answering any of their shoutings.
Let them chase their tails - it will only take a week or two before they start to get bored and focus on some other thing.
Hang tough, Mr. Cain. We're all with you and this too will pass.
“King-of-the-Hill” is a tough game, whether you are a grade-schooler or a politician. But, participants learn from it ... or they are eliminated.
does he have secret service
or private security?
It’s seems the New York Slimes does not like having an uppity negro on the other side of the fence.
How many “closed press” events are there for Hussein?
I watched the video. The reporter **LIES** when he writes “”was screaming: Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!”
He raised his voice and sounded stern and annoyed. He was NOT screaming.
I have heard screaming. I have experienced it at the brim of a staff sergeant’s brim.
Deliberate, willful misrepresentation of what happened.
“with at least one newspaper photographer taking a hard blow to the face.”
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
/s
My apology!
I didn’t mean to post the graphic to you!
I didn’t catch it in time!!!
Maybe Cain should announce a free-for-all news conference where the media can ask whatever they like.
But before the questions, Cain should invite Juanita Broaddrick, Katleen Willey, Paula Jones, and anyone else who has been sexually assaulted by Democrats to relate their stories to the news creeps.
Let's see what they focus on.
Cain needs to request secret security detail now. Obama requested this with even more time before the election.
yes, i remember.
it was because he was so special,
and republicans “hate” blacks.
