"It was moving so fast, I misspoke." GUESS WHAT, ASSHOLE! P.O.T.U.S. is a "FAST" job, PIZZA DOUCHE!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain claimed Tuesday evening that he'd misspoken earlier in the day when he said that he could envision a situation as president in which he'd negotiate with terrorists.

***

"If there were one American soldier who'd been held for years, and the demand was al Qaeda or some other terrorist group, you gotta free everyone at Guantanamo Bay, several hundred prisoners at Guantanamo, could you see yourself as president authorizing that kind of transfer?" Blitzer asked.

"I could see myself authorizing that kind of transfer," Cain responded. "What I would do is I would make sure that I got all of the information, I got all of the input, considered all of the options, and then the president has to be the president and make a judgment call. I could make that call if I had to."

***

“I misspoke,” Cain said flatly. “It was moving so fast, I misspoke. I would not do that, I simply would not do that.”

You can't "beam" your way to the presidency, guy.

[Raschel]

8. So he's admitting he can't think on his feet? We need intelligence for the Presidency, not slogans.

[Astrad]

9. If anyone still clung to the idea this guy is 'authentic' and

tells it like is, they should give up on that notion after this. Instead of just saying what he would do (which he probably doesn't have a clue about) he tried to calculate what was the politically correct answer. He thought by saying he would authorize a transfer he was being supportive of Israel and consequently to say he wouldn't might be perceived as critical. Total fraud.
