Cain's gaffs highlight a genuine problem with U.S. elections....

As Cain himself is apparently beginning to understand-- he's outside the loop. Well outside. His not understanding the geopolitics of the middle east, or other aspects of foreign policy beg the question: do we want all of our candidates for president to be professional politicians and career Washington insiders? Former senators? Even long time governors and mayors are likely too outbred for the "gotcha" politics of modern presidential races. But if we exclude everyone who doesn't have facile answers at hand about the current situations on the ground around the world and the minutia of U.S. policy in that regard-- or even just the broad outlines-- aren't we excluding everyone but the professional politicians we often disdain and the staff members who create insider continuity on campaign staffs? Is that a good thing? Can we bring ourselves to admit that NOT knowing the answers but being able to figure one out once in office is far more valuable than having a glib, vague response to every question
?

Wrong again DUmmie.

I bet Cain knows that there are only 50 states, I bet he knows how to say Corpsman correctly, and he can talk without a prompter.

And who was that, during the presidential race of 2008?

Hey Dummie? Cain is smart enough to know what he isn't an expert at and smart enough to hire the right people to give him advice on it. That is what a good leader does... he leads. He leaves the details to the experts, and he makes his decisions based on what the facts are. He is also smart enough not to hire a bunch of yes people and when there is disagreement between the experts, he makes the decision. That is a leader... unlike the current occupant of the White House.  Oh... and he cares about the USA, unlike the current occupant of the White House.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

The bar was set so low for Obama that it's pretty tough to try raising it with a straight face now.
