“All I said was the mere fact that that word was there was ‘insensitive.’” Cain responded. “That’s not playing the race card. I am not attacking Gov. Perry. Some people in the media want to attack him. I’m done with that issue!”
Herman Cain lied. Here are Cain’s actual quotes:
1. And since Governor Perry has been going there for years to hunt, I think that shows a lack of sensitivity for a long time of not taking that word off of that rock and rename the place. It’s just a basic case of insensitivity.”
2. “For him to leave it there as long as he did before I hear that they finally painted over it is just plain insensitive to a lot of black people in this country,” Cain said.

Cain pulled the race card.
He attacked Perry and LIED about it, saying he didn’t.
He has shown himself.
He is no different.
The presidency is not an entry-level position.
America is not going to vote for a former CEO of a pizza chain with no experience at holding office. (though not for his lack of trying to get elected to something. He ran briefly for president in 2000 and for the Senate in 2004 and failed at both)
He has no foreign affairs experience, and that is going to be crucial with the Middle East aflame and Israel in the cross hairs.
I’m sure Cain is a decent man, but he is NOT our knight in shining armour. We need someone with experience and backbone to deal with the mess this country is in and to deal with foreign affairs.
