Default Cuba? What's that?

What a surprise…Cain doesn't know anything about Cuba, either:

Video: 'Foggy foreign policy' and Herman Cain's Cuba-policy crickets moment

Returning to the state that made him a rising star seven weeks ago,
Herman Cain stumps this morning in South Florida as a different
candidate, nagged by questions about his foreign-policy expertise and
his handling of sexual-harassment allegations.

The top-tier Republican presidential candidate began Wednesday morning
at the Claude and Mildred Pepper Center in Swee****er where he sung
happy birthday to Mayor Manny Morono, was serenaded with a rendition of
‘Guantanamera’ and was asked by the crowd to talk about Cuba, which he
omitted mentioning.

“What about Cuba?” he asked. “One of my principles is: Go to the source
closest to the problem. You will find the solution… I want to get from
Cuban leaders a solution what we should do.”

After a translator spoke, Cain said “I don't want to take the pressure
off. I want to put more pressure on… Vive Cuba Libre!” The crowd roared.

Cain, who last week stumbled over questions about what he would do in
Libya, seemed to know little about Cuba. His campaign kept reporters at
bay, and when asked about the Cuban Adjustment Act and the so-called
wet-foot, dry-foot policy, Cain seemed stumped.The policy allows Cuban
immigrants who have made it to US soil to stay.

“Wet foot, dry foot policy?” Cain asked. His press handlers interrupted
as Cain diverted his course and ducked back into the building. Later,
when he emerged, he was asked again by another reporter. Cain wouldn’t
answer.

“Gotta run, gentlemen,” Cain said. His staff promised he’d answer
questions later at the Versailles Restaurant, a Little Havana nerve
center for Miami-Dade’s politically active Cuban-American community,
which accounts for more than 70 percent of the county’s 368,000
registered Republicans.

Cain, though, wouldn’t talk to reporters there, either. A FOX reporter
asked Cain what he thought of President Obama’s easing of travel
restrictions to Cuba. Cain said that was a “gotcha question.”

Cain, the candidate of the intellectually challenged.
