Pizza man struggles to recall memorized sound bites on Libya situation

Herman Cain Again Proves That He Knows Nothing About Foreign Policy 202316200 01071551

Herman Cain’s cringe inducing stumble over a question concerning Libya once again goes to show that he knows absolutely nothing about foreign policy and geopolitics and is literally being told what to say by advisors.

The video of Cain (below) bumbling over the facts concerning Obama’s policy toward Libya quickly went viral yesterday, drawing comparisons to Rick Perry’s “oops” moment in the debates last week.

If it wasn’t already glaringly obvious to the American people that Cain would make a truly awful president, the former pizza pusher has surely cemented that fact now with yet another embarrassing gaffe.

After he was asked to comment on Obama’s handling of Libya, Cain’s eyes began to twitch as he leaned back and attempted to recall a pre-memorized answer.

“O.K., Libya,” he said after about 10 seconds of silence, acting like a deer caught in the headlights.

“President Obama supported the uprising, correct?” he said. “President Obama called for the removal of Qaddafi — just want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing before I say ‘Yes, I agree,’ or ‘No, I didn’t agree.’ ”

In the vein of a high school student asked to give a pre-prepared presentation in front of the class, Cain said he disagreed with the president’s approach “for the following reasons” — then abruptly stopped.

“Nope, that’s a different one,” he said. “I’ve got to go back and see.”

“I’ve got all this stuff twirling around in my head.” Cain then stated.

When he finally answered the question, Cain stated that he would “have done a better job assessing the Libyan opposition to Qaddafi”, before contradicting himself and admitting “I don’t know that they were or were not assessed.”

Watch the video:

Obama’s policy on Libya is as straightforward a question on foreign policy that one could be asked. The subject has also dominated news headlines for weeks, you would have to be living under a rock to not understand the US government’s position on Libya. An eighth grader would be expected to be able to comfortably grasp the subject, yet Cain struggles on the topic.

Cain’s spokesman, J. D. Gordon, told the New York Times that the reason Cain stumbled was “We were all going on four hours sleep, so he was tired,”

For his own part, Cain responded to criticism that he has a lack of understanding about geopolitics by stating “Some people want to say, ‘Well, as president, you’re supposed to know everything.’ No you don’t.”

Those are not exactly reassuring responses from the Cain camp, in fact they are more admissions of incompetence.

The Cain campaign also suggested that their candidate had been boning up foreign policy matters by speaking personally with the first President Bush and former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger – again, not exactly a reassuring piece of information as far as the American people are concerned, unless continued war and genocide is your kinda thing.

Earlier this week, Cain told GQ magazine that he believes most American Muslims are extremists. When asked to clarify the statement, Cain said that a “Muslim voice” he knows — whom he would not name — told him that was the case.

This was just another in a string of gaffes that have proven Cain to be anything but presidential material.

During a lengthy interview with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News recently, Cain suggested that he wouldn’t see it as a problem to enter into full on military confrontation with Iran.

Cain made another embarrassing gaffe on PBS’ NewsHour recently, when he unwittingly revealed that he was unaware that China has nuclear weapons.

When Asked if he considers China to be a military threat, Cain replied that “they’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability.”

Indeed they have, ever since they first exploded a nuclear bomb in 1964.

It is clear that should Cain become President, by some tragic miracle, his complete lack of knowledge concerning simple geopolitics and straight forward international relations would leave the Executive once again at the mercy of the gaggle of already circling warmongering neocon advisors.

Cain isn’t worried about such an eventuality, however, given that he has no clue what the term ‘neoconservative’ even means.

Daniel Drezner, a professor of international politics at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, was scathing of Cain on his blog.

“There’s a mercy rule in Little League, and I’m applying it here — unless and until Herman Cain surges back in the polls again, or manages to muster something approaching cogency in his foreign policy statements, there’s no point in blogging about him anymore,” Drezner wrote. “I can only pick on an ignoramus so many times before it feels sadistic.”

The American people need a president who knows more than what goes well with anchovies and olives on a stuffed crust base.

The CBS debate on Saturday was solely focused on foreign policy. Cain, a man who admits he knows little about international relations and has proven it, was asked seven questions.

In contrast, Congressman Ron Paul, a veteran who has unwavering views on foreign policy, has positioned himself in stark contrast to the majority of the other GOP candidates, and a man who serves on the House Foreign Relations Committee was asked just one question on foreign policy and afforded 89 seconds to speak.

It is very telling that Herman Cain, who has to recall memorized talking points written down for him by advisors, is still considered a front runner in the race for the GOP nomination while Ron Paul, who routinely speaks unscripted for over an hour at a time on foreign policy, continues to be sidelined by the establishment and not even allowed the opportunity to speak to the nation.

    THE FIRST BALCK PREZ SPENDS MORE MONEY THEN EVERY WHITE PRESIDENT COMBINED BACK TO DAY 1.

    HA HA HA HA ..

    I BET IT’LL BE 1000 YR’S IF EVER AGAIN.

  2. Go Ron Paul go

    The situation is this. Time is the primary element used to recognize placement within the 3rd dimension. However, the veil between dimensions is thinning. As the awareness grows of the availability of 4th and even 5th dimensional processes for usage in this 3rd dimensional realm, this veil will begin to thin even more. The new focus must include elements of the higher dimensions. How to do this! Thought moves between dimensions as long as the thought is within those dimensional parameters. 3rd dimensional parameters allow for interfering with the development of others. It allows for the forcing of one will upon another. Above that dimension, all are allowed freedom to develop without this interference. Personal responsibility is the keynote of existence. Contrary to the mass consciousness appearance of the lack of development of this level, it is there, simply smothered by the barrage of mind control techniques. However, those techniques are not as successful as it might appear. If it were, then the massive physical control that is being put in place would not be necessary. If it were, then there would be no problem of what to do in their view of over population. There would be masses of people following like lemmings into the sea. What is becoming a rising tide, is the ground swell of feeling of people longing for this personal freedom.

    OOPS Super size it “NOW”

    Not no

  5. If this planet is over populated, then why have they in the future floating cities? anti gravity used for humanities advancement? then the over population is a big fraud? just like global warming helped by HAARPS to not say the least of what we know. and what about what we do not know?

    Could prophecies be time travelers who warned some back then? like Naustradamus?? met up with time travelers? who came from the future? Then the Bible could be an instrument to manipulate the people so some sort of order exists on this planet? NOt that a creator does not exist, just saying what so many consider GOD might not be what religions have fed us all the centuries of mind manipulations? the planet is flat…………days in history????

    Hermain Cain is good creating business like the Pizza business ha has. that is materialism values.

    Ron Paul is much more about moral values liberty freedom peace abundance accessible for all but abundance does not mean being $$$ rich essentially. Money can serve humanity the many also, not only the elite few.

    If all the money in the world wasted on military budgets was going for the people’s needs, this planet would be a very different place.

  6. He said “defend our enemies” listen at 2:48 too funny — Freudian slip? Isn’t that what these “NWO scum are up to? Total destruction. Good night Herman.

  7. He knows one thing – Israel good and Muslims bad.

    And what more does any red-blooded American politician need to get the backing of Homeland Security, AIPAC, the mainstream media, and the Israeli lobby, except possibly openly declaring themselves to be “a friend to Israel”.

    Are you sure they are not both bad? What do we get from either? Do they help Americas bottom line? Do they make your life better? Israel and Muslim nation need to be treated the same. We trade with them and keep them out of our business and we stay out of theirs. No more free lunch our children are hungry.

    “I’ve got all this stuff twirling around in my head.” I’ve got Co-Cain runnin’ all round my brain… Trad. blues song and a pizza pie.

  8. It tends to seem as if one were to view Herman Cain as a sort of a Black Male Avatar of Sarah Palin, one wouldn’t be altogether off the mark. At one point she claimed knowledge of foreign policy for herself based on the fact she could see Siberia from her house.

  11. Just give them all the air time, they need.

    They will all just end up swinging in nothing but air-time!

  12. I would never vote for Cain since he is federal reserve dirt bag. Ron Paul is the only real choice for a sane future.

  13. He is right about presidents not needing to know everything. On a Tavis Smiley out-take 2008 which I can’t find anymore, Tavis asked, sort of off the record (paraphrased from memory here), “You have very little domestic experience and no foreign policy background. How will you solve those problems?” Obama responded that all candidates use think-tanks for policy.

    If you want chemtrails in the sky then you got it !!

    If you want war with Iran you got it !

    There should be an honest election in the US where you vote for the CFR and one of their 3 chosen candidates.

  14. Herman cain doesnt know very much about Pizzas either as Goodfellas pizzas are substandard dross like a fake corporate imitiation of a pizza.Its dead cardboard food that is devoid of any worthwhile nutritional value.

    These corporate cardboard cutouts like cain has this sense of entitlement that they should be presidential candidate material when in reality they are deluded and full of their own self importance while knowing very little about anything outside of their corporate structure.

    Cain is correct in stating that its not necessary to know anything if you are just a frontman who reads from a teleprompter and rubberstamps everything they are told to by the CFR and the FEDRES etc etc.

    “i have got all this stuff twirling round in my head”

    Yes its all that stupidity and ignorance twirling around that doesnt leave any space for anything else.Another ignorant emptyhead who is being filled up with Globalist garbage courtesy of Kissinger and Bush.Cain is a very weak character.

  15. This guy is no better than Obama. He has no clue about the world, can’t remember anything fact or fiction (what he is told to say), and has no real agenda on how to fix the US economy and surely will not deal with the Fed. That being said, to vote this guy in as president would only achieve the “first black Republican president” and nothing more. It would be the same ol’ NWO bs and the elite would tell him what to do which is stay course for the destruction of the United States and to liquidate it into the NWO.

  16. “We will defend ourselves and we will defend our enemies”

    You can hear that @ 3.13s into the video.

    “Israel is our best friend in the whole wide world !!!”

    Ah jus luurve Israel soo much and i jus luurve sucking up to the Globalists so much so that ah get the presedency !!

    When i ayum President i will raise stupidity to noo levels so work wit me here will ya ??

    Ah wyull defend arre enemies !!

    Peter Wolf Reply:

    They do defend our enemies anyway as they defend the FEDRES and all the rest of it but i dont think that was the intended meaning behind that comment unless it was and if it was its passed off as a slip of the tongue caused by all that stuff twirling around in his head.

    The stuff twirling around is the very few overworked brain cells in his head working overtime forming sentences and thinking of answers to questions.

  17. What did you expect. Herman was hired for his skills as a great liar. After all he is the pilsbury doe Boy. All he knows is food service industry. His social skill of lieing was how he moved up. He is a great coworker back stabbing scum. He didnit get there with true hard work or merit. This is why the Pilsbury Doe company promote him. His only technical knowledge is based around food. The federal reserve hired him because he is such a lieing snake.

  18. I love how Alex says the health supplement gives him more energy and allows him to jog further. I’m sorry that is too funny.

    Alex just admit it you NEVER jog!
