Herman Cain Stumbles on Question About Libya
The Weekly Standard ^ | 11/14/11 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/14/2011 4:49:05 PM PST by katiedidit1

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain was asked a simple question by the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: "So you agreed with President Obama on Libya, or not?" The response, nearly five minutes long, is painful to watch:

sometimes a commander in chief doesnt have time to seek a lot of advice. If that phone rings at 3 am and the alert is sounded...he better be damn ready and ready fast

Cna you give me an example of when you think a President had to react within six hours?

Personally I don't know why Obama went to war with NATO in Libya, if I had to guess I'd say oil for western Europe had something to do with it.

It may very well be thats what Cain has been told by the Boltons, etc. but he can't very well answer the question that way, and perhaps he's not comfortable with Washington doubletalk yet.

Cain has inside the beltway connections and has been on the Federal Reserve, friends of numerous politicians from Kemp to Kerry of Nebraska and others...

Is there any reason why we should have over 700 over seas millitary bases?

You want to take the chance? oh..let them shower, shave and contact their advisors asap. Bush made decisions pretty fast after he was told about the attack on America. I dont know the time frame.

Governor Walker supports the "right" of public workers to collectively bargain.

First, he exempted police and firefighters from his legislation.

Then, as he explained over and over again, his legislation simply LIMITED collectively bargaining to certain issues.

From HERE:

Public employee unions have already said they were prepared to pay more money for health insurance and pension benefits, but they have balked at having their collective bargain rights restrained. The measure affects public employee unions except for police and fire.

Under the legislation, unions will not be able to bargain for health and pension benefits, will be limited in what they can seek in pay raises and have such other provisions as automatic dues payment modified.

This is what Cain was referring to by saying unions should not be able to "hijack" collective bargaining.

Fine, they can make a deal. Cain gets advisors and Obama gets to use the TOTUS. That seems about fair.

Ron Paul’s an idiot. There’s a time and a place for everything. Military action should be determined by national interest. There was zero US national interest in providing air cover for jihadists so they could kill Gadhafi and create a Sharia state.

Correct. That’s because there were 4 Bush Doctrines if I recall.

This isn't just the MSM, conservative media are all over this as well. These clips up are up at Hot Air, Michele Malkin, Ace, etc.

We should not let the "conservative" media pick our candidates any more than we should let the MSM do so.

I don’t think he is on meds or should have skipped the interview.

I think it is pathetic that proponents of other Republican candidates are trying to attack Cain for simply taking a few moments to gather his thoughts before speaking in a sit-down interview with print journalists.

Maybe if Newt had taken a few moments to gather his thoughts before endorsing the man-made global warming hoax with Princess Nancy or if Newt had taken the time to think for a few moments before cutting Paul Ryan off at the knees, true conservatives might warm up to him more.

Good observation. The last 2 elections, all FR has become, is a hate fest.

we already have the 1st On the Job trainee, I am not ready for another try.

I'd give anything to have a conservative version of Obama as president. The issue of our time isn't competence. The issue is ideology. Obama is a left-wing ideologue who has been widely successful at implementing his ideology - which is to expand government.

If we had a conservative President who was just half as successful as Obama in implementing conservative ideas, then our country would be in 7th heaven.

and Gov Walker is right. A man that stuck to his guns despite the threats from the unions and bullies. I love Walker and would not mind seeing him run for higher office

Where’s your link for that?
