Herman Cain Confused as Hell

Saw him on Fox last week. He seemed like he was half there. He has an odd sort of style for interviews. He just doesn't look comfortable to me.

I haven't seen the video, but I have to give him a little credit. Abortion is a topic in which there is enough gray area not to have a clear cut opinion.

It was a little weird seeing him debate "fake Obama" on Stossel but I suppose it wasn't his idea.

The problem isn't the shades of gray, it's that he can't verbalize an opinion. If you had watched the video you would have seen that he said:

"I support life from conception"
"I don't think government can make that decision"
"I am pro-life"
"[abortion] is her choice. That is not government's choice"

I wish Stossel would cut that bit. He made Gary Johnson do it, too. It's stupid. Funny note, though: "Fake Obama" on Stossel is the same "Fake Obama" from Workaholics.

what's confusing about that?

he's pro-life, but realizes that Roe v. Wade made access to abortions law of the land and that he, as President wouldn't interject the government into the decision making process of individual citizens.

his position probably isn't that different from most peoples', defer on the side of life, realize that abortion is legal, and don't use the federal government to enforce a position either way.

You didn't watch the video. Seriously it's only like a 45-second clip. If you have time to comment, you should have time to watch it. Stossel had to ask him like 5 times what his position was. The other guest sat there with his mouth wide open in disbelief.

It was terribly embarrassing. Once again, this is not about his views (in fact abortion matters little in presidential campaigns) it's about his inability to express his views. In one sound bite he managed to make Pelosi, Palin, Bachmann, Biden, etc. look like rocket scientists.

yep, Cain does get confused, particularly when pressed about cases of rape and incest.

he tries to take a libertarian stance by saying the government shouldn't have a say, then immediately swings 180 degrees and demands that the government intervene in nearly every instance.

Ellis Hennican is a liberal douchebag, but he's a smart guy and has a unique way of making liberal douchebaggery seem appealing. Which is probably why he doesn't appear on MSNBC.

So he said that he's pro-life, but he doesn't feel that it's the government's right to tell a woman what to do or not do with her body (which is a conservative viewpoint). He believes that it is her choice to make. I think that a large chunk of the population falls into that camp.

if you watch the video, Cain falls apart and can't keep up with Stossel and Hennican. He comes across as just another social conservative busybody.

If you want to find someone who is really confused
look no farther than Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama Says FDR Was "Fiscally Conservative" | Brian Koenig

In response to a question regarding the poor state
of the economy, President Obama asserted that FDR
was "fiscally conservative" - you know, that executive
powerhorse who, arguably, established the welfare
state.

Whaa? Obama has made a bountiful share of asinine
comments, but this one is beyond laughable.

Quick note: FDR was the master inventor of the "New
Deal," which uplifted a slew of new programs (at high
price tags): the NIRA, the CCC, the TVA, the FDIC,
the PWA, the NLRA, the WPA, the SSA, need I go
further?

FDR is responsible for claiming a generous portion of
the government program acronyms, which has made it
difficult for later spendthrift presidents. Obama should
be pissed.

Here are some of the President's comments:

Obama was referring to spending-cut measures
Roosevelt took in the middle of the New Deal that
lasted from 1933 to 1940.

“FDR comes in, he tries all these things with the New
Deal; but FDR, contrary to myth, was pretty fiscally
conservative,” the president said Friday during a town
hall meeting on the campus of the University of
Maryland.

FWIW, I listened to some of the interviews when Cain
made his recent appearance in Nashville.

He seemed to me to be erudite, focused and to the
point, doubtless he is a very smart man.

Three page bills, everybody!

Crony Capitalists Race to Obama?s Re-election [Reader Post] | Flopping Aces

The President’s re-election team announced that
between the Democratic National Committee and
the Re-election committee, the president had raised
an incredible $86 million. Was it a sign of broad
grassroots support for an embattled president?

Hardly.

244 people, “bundlers” in Washington parlance,
gathered most of the money. As Jerry Seinfeld
used to ask, “Who are these people?”

Many of the fundraisers, according to Politico are
executives with major regulatory or financial interests
before the administration. “A review of a list of high-
dollar volunteer fundraisers, or bundlers, released by
the Obama campaign last week includes a number of
corporate officials whose companies have major
business stakes in the decisions of government
regulators and administration officials. In some cases,
grants, loans and contracts were given to companies
that bundlers were heavily involved or invested in.”

It isn’t capitalists who support the president; it’s the
crony capitalists.

In addition to the established pigs eating at the federal
trough – companies like UBS, Pfizer and other billion
dollars corporations – companies like Google and
Salesforce.com and Tesla have joined in the orgy.

Steve Westly, a major investor in the electric car
company Tesla, bundled up to $200,000 for the
president this cycle — while his company received
a $465 million loan from the Department of Energy.

Google, of course, has invested years in the president
and have pushed for regulation of the Internet
through “Net Neutrality” and have staffed key
executives in White House positions.

Tim Carney, from the Washington Examiner, has also
noted that much of the money came from lobbyists,
despite the president’s shameless condemnation
of “special interest lobbyists.”
