Want to hear something hilarious? Philip Rucker of the Washington post reported a few words that came from Herman Cain, early thursday morning in good ol' Michigan.
“How do you beat Obama? Beat him with a Cain!” Cain quipped to a table of supporters at the Big Sky Diner here. When reporters pressed him on what exactly he was suggesting with his remark, Cain said: “Cain. Herman Cain. C-A-I-N. Do I have to connect all the dots for you?”
Thank you for another one of your quirky remarks Herman. As if all your other remarks weren't enough, you come along with these cheesy pick up line. I have to admit though, it is funny. Getting back to some serious stuff, can you believe he's still running after all of what he's said? Every time he says something some of us think ok this is it for Cain, but nope, he keeps on coming back.
Although Cain tried to sway away his assault allegations, he stood in front of what we call a "tea party" crowd in Michigan and tried to make himself the victim. “I’m gonna be the president of the people and not of the politicians because, as you can tell, they’re starting to come after me,” Cain said. “They’re starting to attack me any and every way they can. Since they can’t kill the ideas, they’re trying to attack my integrity and my character. But the American people are not buying that. They are sick of gutter politics.”What is he expecting though? a sunny stroll down central park? Things like this are expected because every candidate is in it to win it.
The crowed cheered him on as he arrived on his campaign bus… and wait… guess what they were chanting? His "I am America" theme song from his campaign video. I'm not sure if everyone has seen that yet, but it's a must watch. His chief of staff is featured smoking a cigarette as if it's the "cool" thing to do here in America, and Cain, well, he's just a whole other story. It's almost one of those videos that you can't explain and you have to see on your own and if you don't, well you're missing out, that's for sure.
Anyway, back to Michigan, comment's like "a REAL black man" were made and it made me furious because what is that supposed to mean? Obama wasn't black enough? What does that even mean? It's upsetting to read this ridiculousness because it shouldn't be the color of a candidates skin that we look at, but more of what they can bring to the table as president. After all, does skin color have an effect on a presidents duties? This is none-sense and shouldn't be tolerated. It shouldn't have to be a black or white thing.
It's interesting to find that people aren't worried about the assault allegations that have been brought against him. One man said, “It could be true, but people are trying to regulate human nature,” said Steve Lambert, 61, a scrap metal worker from Ypsilanti. “The woman said he made a move on him, she told him to stop and he did. What’s the problem?”
Another woman commented and stated her opinion as well: Cathy Upton, a 60-year-old physician from nearby Ann Arbor, said: “The mainstream media’s trying to distract us. I’d like to believe him. I assume he’s telling the truth.”
In my opinion, Both of these people are right. I have to greatly agree with Cathy because things like this are brought up so that a game of "survival of the fittest" comes into play. Cain isn't willing to crack under pressure and he's doing the best he can. His remarks are always to the point and sharp, humorous as well, if I might add.
Cain also address his 9-9-9 plan, but as always never giving a direct answer to the questions asked about this plan, because apparently he's not even too sure for himself. “We are the only one that has put a bold solution on the table,” Cain said. “They keep shooting at it, they keep criticizing it and they can’t kill it, and the reason they can’t kill it is because the people own ‘9-9-9’ – and they can’t shoot straight.”
I enjoy watching him and what he has to say because he aways says something that he probably shouldn't have said and he has to apologize for it. It's fun and it makes the debates a lot easier to watch. This ties into my last post about why so many Americans are watching the debates all of a sudden. Well, we have to give a large thanks to candidates like Cain because they always have something wrong to say. But has it become more about the drama within the debates more so than the politics? possibly.
