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?”
