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.”

So what? Your fleabagger brain on rationality strike again?

Hate to bust your water but Cain isn't running to rule Cuba. And if he
needs to know Cuba, CIA can brief him.

Hell, the man he replaces thinks there are 57, er 58 states int eh
union. Knowing US is a little more essential for the POTUS. And maybe
why 0bama is a screw up. Probably knows Jakarta well though.

It's Burkina Faso, d.f. No doubt you are a Republican...no book knowledge.

Used to be Upper Volta...that's what it was called when I was in junior
high and we were studying geography.

I am betting the phrase "well thought out comment" is not something you
hear often...

I'm betting the phrase heard most often after you make a comment is
"What a ****ing moron."

And that's from your immediate family.

He really needs handlers.
All you need to know about Cuba to be successful in South Florida is
that Castro is a tyrant, the embargo needs to be maintained (except
for ExPats who send money home) and that the US should keep treating
the refugees as special cases.

Basically the same failed policy that the US has had for 50 years.


0bama found ways to ruin it faster. Canadians are ****ed, not so much
about the $5.50 but the insult.

58 state 0bama has no more US relations with Egypt. Middle est no a
rising Muslim Brotherhood without democracy. Egypt election time came
and went, the revolution continues but 0bama has nothing to say is Islam
fundamentalists are now in control and democracy is dead.

Israel is ****ed off, as are others. But Saudi are happy, they get USA
military protection on the backs of American taxpayers and future debt
to the unborn in America. Saudi and Allah are quite happy.

Lets see, China doesn't lend any new money to USA any more. As the
Bernanke-0bama counterfeit for debt program devalues the USD and
depreciates the Chinese debt unfairly.

Got Russia and China so ****ed both are gearing up their military at a
very fast pace. As clearly US meddles in their affairs and they are now
big enough to say no. With US economically weak, and out of gas, WW III
will be like Rommel running out of gas with a supreme force of tanks.

USA can't even domestically put a man in space any more.

$6 trillion in debt by the first term, another term of 0bama would let
0bama debt-corruption spend more than all presidents before him
combined. It is already impossible for Americans to pay their debts
with really money.

Yep, 0bama is going to be the worst president the USA ever had. Almost
as if this was deliberate and planed.
