Herman Cain Has His Oops! Moment, Minus The Oops! – Video

It must be something in the water these Republican presidential candidates are drinking. Last week it was Rick Perry experiencing a brain freeze… wait a second, you need a brain to have a brain freeze. Let’s not call what Perry had a brain freeze. Let’s call it his oops! moment.

This week, it’s Herman Cain having his oops! moment. Cain was asked if he agreed with President Obama’s decision on Libya. You will remember President Obama joined with NATO forces and assisted the “rebels” in ousting Muammar Gaddafi. Everyone in the world had an opinion on that crucial matter, except Herman Cain, who stared into space for an eternity before asking for help. He was slick though – he asked the interviewer to elaborate on the question, giving him more time to formulate his eventual no-answer.

Who will be the next Republican to have their oops! moment? Stay tuned…!

President Obama Disagrees With Republicans – “Waterboarding Is Torture”

Two of the Republicans who claim they’ve gotten a message from God to run for President, said in the last debate that they believed that waterboarding is not torture. Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain then went on to say that they would reinstate the practice if they won the presidency in 2012.

God cannot be happy with these two!…

Asked how he felt about what Bachmann and Cain said, President Obama responded that the two were “wrong,” about waterboarding. The President reiterated that the  practice was indeed “torture,” and stated that the use of it diminished the moral stance of the United States.

Michele Bachmann Suggests Starvation For The Unemployed

Michele Bachmann, one of the Republicans trying to get nominated to go against President Obama in 2012, said in a recent speech at the Family Research Council, “…if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.”

“Our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and should do for themselves,” she said. “Self reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.”

But this is not just an opinion held by Bachmann, it is a guiding principle in the Republican party.

For decades, Republicans have been on a mission to make reality exactly what Bachmann is suggesting. It is their passion, their burning belief that the jobless, the sick, even those who are mentally incapable of doing a job, must not eat or survive for that matter. Republicans believe that the poor and suffering are a burden on society and the rest of society bears no responsibility for the general welfare of these people.

Apparently, Bachmann – who considers herself a Christian called by God to run for president – never read the story of Cain and Able and has no idea where the “am I my brother’s keeper” phrase originated. It’s in the very first book of the Bible. But somehow, based on the reverse stance of her take from the rich and give to the poor attitude, I don’t believe she’s ever read the good book.
