Foreign Policy is the great equalizer when it comes to politics. Nobody minds a domestic dummy, but when it comes to dealing with other country, no one wants a politician who embarrasses them. Its like family. When your dad say something stupid at the dinner table, its cute and funny. When he says it out loud at the booth at Friday in the middle of dinner rush, well then it’s a problem. That’s how it is with Foreign policy. When it comes to domestic issues, every idiot in this country thinks they have or know the easy solution to fix anything. So its easy for someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about to come in with a stupid idea (999? Really dude?) and get support from other stupid people.   But with foreign policy? See that’s the one thing people want their leaders to be strong and sure on.
It’s what separates those that know what they are talking about and those who are completely in over their head. Remember Sarah Palin? Yeah it was over for her the minute she said she had foreign policy experience cause she could see Russia from her house. Sure, she went on long past her 15 minutes but it was at that very moment that kicked started most people’s brains to say she was completely unqualified for the position of President, Vice President or anyone with any potential of having contact with foreign leaders. And now Herman Cain has had his moment as well.
Holy shit man that was bad. Almost painful to watch. He actually stopped then looked up at the ceiling as he tried to remember just what happened in Libya. Unbelievable. It’s like Herman Cain had the same brain fart/stroke that Rick Perry had…but worse. But come on, are any of us shocked by this? As much as we joke about “Let Herm Cook”, no one in their right mind thought this man was qualified to be President. He said “Ubeki- beki-beki stan stan” and didn’t know China’s had nuclear weapons for 40+ years. He’s obviously unqualified. His only recourse is to pull another Palin and blame the “liberal media” and “gotcha journalism”.
Hell, now that I think about it, in a head-to-head matchup, I’d actually give Sarah Palin a slight edge….because she could not only see Russia from her house but also recognize it. Herman Cain would probably think it was Neverland or something.
I’ll leave with this, one of the comments off the video that pretty much sums this up:
“What the hell did you expect to hear when you confront a fucking pizza baker with global geopolitics and grand strategy”
