Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Herman Cain Struggles with Question about Libya

HeadlineNov 15, 2011

Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain is back in the spotlight after he struggled to answer a question about his views on Libya. Cain was asked about the issue during an interview with the Journal Sentinel of Milwaukee.

Reporter: “So you agreed with President Obama on Libya, or not?”

Herman Cain: “OK, Libya. [pause] President Obama supported the uprising, correct? President Obama called for the removal of Gaddafi. Just want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing before I say, 'Yes, I agree,' or 'No, I didn't agree.’ I do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reason: [brief pause] no, that’s a different one. Uh… I gotta go back, see. Got all this stuff twirling around in my head. Specifically, what are you asking me, did I agree or not disagree with Obama?”
