Nice knowing you herman cain....before you leave and take your 999 with you can you just say one thing for me? "im rick james biatch!"....i swear to god he sounds just like chappelle lol.
(CNN) - Former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain took a moment Monday to clarify his position on Libya: He needs more information.
After an uncomfortable eight-second pause to collect his thoughts, the GOP contender explained that he would need to know more before he could unequivocally agree or disagree with President Barack Obama's actions in the conflicted country.
Cain was meeting with the editorial board of the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel when Libya came up.
"Okay, Libya," he responded when asked whether he agreed with President Obama's actions in the region. Eight seconds later, after looking up, biting his lip and blinking repeatedly, Cain asked, "President Obama supported the uprising, correct?"
"I just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing before I say 'Yes, I agree' or 'No, I do not agree."
But just as Cain, a former conservative talk radio host, started to respond to the question, he then changed his mind.
"I do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reasons - um, no, that's a different one," he said, before uncrossing and crossing his legs, shifting position in his seat, and adjusting his jacket.
"Let's see, I've got to go back, see," he continues. "(I've) got all this stuff twirling around in my head."
"Are you asking me did I agree or not agree with Obama?"
Cain finally settled on a response after hearing the question rephrased a second time.
"It's not a simple yes/no because there are different pieces and I would've gone about assessing the situation differently, which might have caused us to end up at the same place, but I think more could've been done was, what's the nature of the opposition?"
He explained that he would have gotten more information on determining who the opposition was, but said, "I'm sure that our intelligence people had some of that information." Although he declined to criticize the president, Cain said he didn't think enough was done.
And before he was challenged on the clarity of his response, Cain asserted, "I'm not trying to hedge on the questions, it's just that's my nature as a businessman, I need to know all of the facts, I would need to know all of the alternatives."
"It's not a clear yes/no," he said again. "Because of all those things I think that should have been assessed
