Herman Cain Struggles With Question About Libya 
------------------------------------------------



Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain is back in the spotlight
after he struggled to answer a question about his views on Libya. Cain
was asked about the issue during an interview with the Journal Sentinel
of Milwaukee.

Reporter: So you agreed with President Obama on Libya, or not?

Herman Cain: "Okay, Libya. [pause] President Obama supported the
uprising, correct? President Obama called for the removal of Gaddafi.
Just want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing before I say
‘Yes, I agree,’ or ‘No, I did not agree.’ I did not agree with
the way he handled it for the following reason: [brief pause] nope,
that’s a different one. Uh… I gotta go back, I got all this stuff
twirling around in my head. Specifically, what are you asking me did I
agree or not disagree with Obama?"
