Herman Cain Would Not Make a ‘Good President,’ Ginger White Says

Ginger White, who says she was involved in a 13 or 14 year “on and off” affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, today told me she does not think he is fit to be president.
“I honestly do not think that he is, in my opinion, would make a good president as far as I’m concerned,” White told me in an exclusive interview on “GMA.”
Cain has denied the affair and publicly criticized White, calling her a “troubled Atlanta business woman” who is using “national media outlets to promulgate a fabricated, unsubstantiated story,” he wrote in an email to supporters.
The GOP candidate told his staff yesterday that White’s allegations were “cause for reassessment,” but last night his campaign manager told ABC News that there is “no way he’s dropping out.”
When I asked White if she thought Cain should end his bid for the presidency, she said “that’s something that he has to look himself in the mirror and ask himself.”
“You know last night I slept very well telling the truth. I’m not sure what’s going on in his head right now but it’s unfortunate that any of this is going on,” she said.
White, 46, described their relationship as a “very casual affair.” She said she was single when it began and Cain took her on “several trips,” including to a Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield fight in Las Vegas.
Over the past two and a half years Cain “consistently” gave White money, she said, but it was not “sex for cash.” She admitted to financial difficulties, including being sued for libel by a former business partner, but denied that she was ever evicted.
Cain doesn’t dispute that he gave her financial assistance, writing to supporters that he helped her “just as I have helped many friends and acquaintances throughout the years. I thought Ms. White was a friend in need of a supportive hand to better her life. Ms. White has made it apparent that she was abusing the friendship.”
This morning White showed ABC News phone records that she says show text messages back-and-forth between her and Cain on several dates as recently as October and November.
White said she communicated with him “up until last week” but he never asked her to keep the affair quiet.
“The funny thing about Herman Cain is never in a million years did he probably think that I would speak out on this,” she said. “And honestly speaking I never wanted to.”
She told me the spotlight is “difficult” and she has been “absolutely humiliated [and] embarrassed.”
“I can’t image waking up one morning and deciding to come out with this if this was not true,” White said. “This has been a very difficult situation for myself and for my family. And it’s nothing that I’m proud of.”

How does this woman have any credibility? She has already been sued for Libel, claimed bankruptcy and has a history of making things up. The fact that she is coming out about this now seems too convenient.

sorta shows the racist underbelly of the democratic party, doesnt it? Of course the libs will deny it, but once they realized that this rogue Ne gro was a threat to their acceptable Ne gro, the DNC had to destroy him.

“How does this woman have any credibility?…”
Uhm… she has text messages. Although “we” have not read them there are those who have. The messages could be quite damning. What has she made up? Its obvious she needs money, (of which Cain probably paid in the past), he reneged, she became teed and called the press. Or, in their investigation to discover more improprieties concerning Cain, her name surfaced and then the press started calling and pressing her family.

Sorta stupid to say this exposes some democrat racist underbelly. Has nothing to do with democrats. She sorta has credibility if she showed phone bills to reporters that texted the phone number only to have Cain phone them back.

Ya know NCPilot, I could NEVER engage you as a pilot to take me anywhere. Its quite clear that you are in a fog in your own mind and can’t see. Take a breath… Now, what on earth would Democrats gain by sabotaging Cain? His nomination would have been a gift to Obama. I mean seriously… he would have been worse than Sarah Palin because he would be at the top of the ticket! Now… take another breath… What could Romney, Perry, Gingrich. Bachmann, Paul, Huntsman, et alia gain with the elimination of Cain? This is NOT rocket science!

Of course Stephanopoulis would use this. A quote from a proclaimed adulteress on who would be a good President… Maybe we should have her sleep with each candidate and do a compare and contrast…what ridiculous journalists we have, this is irrelevant irresponsible. Nice job Georgie. Thanks to you we are all lower on the food chain for reading it.

She has all these terrible things to say about Cain but yet stayed with him in an affair for 13 years ??? A woman’s scorn and revenge is a terrible thing.

If her story is true, she knowingly slept with a married man. Sorry, but she’s just as much a party to guilt as he is. Her hands are just as stained as his are. No sympathy here for her, none at all. She’s an opportunist. Why is she be lauded as something of a “hero” for bringing Cain down? And yes, that’s what I believe the MSM is doing. I agree that Cain probably has zero chance now, but I have no time nor patience for women who have affairs with married men. There is no honor in being a, well, I won’t say exactly what it is that I would call her.

ncpilot15, does it make any sense that democrats would want to show Cain’s weaknesses before he is the Republican nominee? Seriously, wouldn’t dems want a candidate with so much baggage, as it would assure them the win?
This is obviously other Republicans who don’t want Cain to win over them, who are digging up these controversial incidents.
Posted by: Librarian53 | November 30, 2011, 9:32 am 9:32 am
Hmmmm….
You didn’t want to come out with this. You admit that you didn’t keep any evidence. So when they were blowing up your spot, why did you admit to it- if you really didn’t want to? You did it because of the way all those other women were treated, knowing full well you would get the same? This woman is a contradiction. Why put yourself through this knowing that there is no evidence?
You’ve never been evicted? Well records say otherwise.
Look into her eyes. She looks like she’s in constant pain.

It’s amazing how people are looking at the morality of a person and saying that’s the deciding factor in holding public office. Look at our elected officials current and past! Look at our presidents current and past! They’ve shown that morality, in their book, has nothing to do with holding office. Our elected officials have shown us, by their own actions, they feel graft, theft, corruption, adultry, infidelity, etc. are entitlements rightfully due them. Seems some of them practically shove it in our faces and boast of their actions. Now, Cain is a Republican and Republicans preach family values. Cain is taking a lot of heat from Democrats because of this. Democrats don’t preach family values. Does that mean it’s acceptable for Democrats to commit sexual harassment, lying, and adultry? Just thought I’d ask, since I never knew morality was political-party dependent.
Posted by: Terrence | November 30, 2011, 9:33 am 9:33 am
Well Allen, personally I’ve always felt we really don’t need to go here unless one of them is sleeping with a spy and our country is at risk. Those rules were changed in the 90′s. Mostly if you’re going to preach you have more values than liberal filth it’s recommended you have a background to back such a thing up. Especially Baptist ministers.

She’s being sued for libel by her former business partner, says she needs money, and can produce no evidence or witnesses of a 13 YEAR relationship that supposedly happened during a time when Cain was undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer. Yeah, cancer and chemo does so much for sex drive. It’s clear to me the Democrats are terrified of him and are paying women to lie. Otherwise there would be evidence and witnesses.

“Why does this woman always look stressed out?”–
Well it is stressful to keep up a lie of this magnitude. LOL.
I don’t get this woman.
What does a “casual affair” mean? You went on trips? Friends go on trips together all the time. Did you screw on the trip or not?
He ended it eight months ago, why on earth would he risk calling you within that time? It doesn’t make sense. And he never tried to convince you to not say anything? John Edwards was trying to convince people that Rielle Hunter and her kid never existed. LOL.
You had a 13 yr relationship and he’s only been giving you money only over the past 2 years. Around the same time that you’ve been having financial trouble and this whole economy went downhill?
Ya’ll sure this all isn’t in her head? He tried to help her out and now she thinks he’s her man?

George, did you know that we’re in the midst of a presidential election? Did you know that Obama is running for reelection? As a candidate, does he merit your scrutiny? You really need to question him on his involvement in the following.
Solyndra, Beacon Power, cozying up to the lawbreakers of OWS, the much-vaunted stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent–but didn’t, Obamacare and CLASS, the screwing of the Chrysler bondholders, “shovel-ready” jobs that were not as shovel-ready as he hoped they’d be (he said with a chuckle), the NLRB and Boeing, failure to throw the book at the New Black Panther Party for Election Day misconduct, Operation Fast and Furious, the idiocy of attempting to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in federal court, nonsensical promises about Guantanamo, the infamous Apologizing for America tours…and on and on and on.
Anytime you’re ready to address these issues, George, American voters are waiting.

This woman seems rational but from my experience I know that it can be faked. I was a Commander of an Army unit that had both male and female soldiers. One of the E-5’s a female soldier came under scrutiny because she lied on a PT test. We were going to give her an Article 15. While the Battalion Commander was reading her the charges she asked if this was going to affect her chances of promotion. This was the first indication she wasn’t right. The BC told her yes it would affect her chances so she asked to be Court Marshaled. The investigation began and it was found she had a history of making false accusations, i.e., accusing one of my Chief Warrants of prejudice while at the same time writing him letters asking if he would do unspeakable sexual things to her. Additionally, she had been sending letters to Congressional leaders stating that no minorities were in leadership positions. At the time she did this we had a Puerto Rican Detachment Commander, a Hawaiian First Sergeant, African American Platoon Sergeant etc. As Commander I decided that she needed to have a psychiatric evaluation and the Command agreed. Because of the seriousness of a Court Martial it was determined that the Commands Psychiatrist should not do the evaluation. He did do a preliminary and found that she was unstable. To make a long story short the outside Psychiatrist found that she was perfectly normal and he admitted that she could be faking that. However, ABC has this new tabloid mentality especially against conservatives. So don’t judge until the real facts are in.

Cain admits to being long-time friends with this woman…makes sense that they’d be texting or making calls. Duh! This woman has a real credibility problem with the libel suit and all. As for Cain, he needs to go. I think his wife needs to “reassess” their situation.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..I don’t care if the candidates slept with half the country….as long as they can perform the duties of the office they are elected into…then I don’t care. People have sex and, unfortunately, people have affairs. If you get this country back up and running right, I wouldn’t care if you were screwing the entire NFL cheerleader roster in the oval office! More power to ya!

She said this is too bad this is happening to Herman. But SHE’S THE ONE MAKING IT HAPPEN!! All the sex charges have fallen by the wayside if u notice & they didn’t stop him or make him drop out. Now, weeks before the vote, this woman pops up, and keeps saying: ‘to be honest with you’, blah, blah, blah. That line alone has been dissed by the professionals that deal with this sort of thing. Sorry, I just don’t buy this. Why didn’t she come out back when? Why now? She says it was casual-usually that means every now & then-but no one has asked her how many times she was with him in those 13 years?? Just to fishy in my book..

NCPILOT15 said: “sorta shows the racist underbelly of the democratic party, doesnt it?” Yeah, right, the democrats are the racist ones. That’s why they’ve always promoted civil rights while republicans opposed them, and that’s why democrats elected Obama President. Because they’re racist. Just shows that you republicans don’t even try to make sense anymore. You just say anything.

Don’t you think IT’S TIME to give him the same news coverage you’re giving to the other candidates—hmmmm? Let’s, for once, have an HONEST campaign season!

She said she came out because she feels humiliated, what did she does do. She was having the affair and knows exactly what that it “a lie”!. That makes her a liar. For her to come out now and saying that she didn’t do it for certain reason makes her only look that more stupid. I have no respect for woman like this, it’s pathetic. Hey someone is always looking for the 15 minutes of fame and a little extra money that comes with it.

Obviously nobody at MSNBC .. and I think the players over at CNN are just rolling out of bed … I guess they would rather *make* the news than: “report the news” …
Hmm let’s see, Ginger White says she had an affair with Cain for 13 years — It might be a good idea to tell Kimberly Vay, Ginger Whites ex-lover and ex- business partner … and it was stated in court they were lovers for the last 13 years (they’re gay) … plus, Kimberly Vay had a restraining order on Ginger White for months — most important, Kimberly Vay says she never heard of the name Herman Cain until recently.
Let’s not forget those 9 lawsuits in the last 8 years – and she was served 2 weeks ago for nonpayment of rent – again.

“Friends are forever. Everything else is a bonus”
That’s what Cain wrote to her in 2001 inside the cover of his book that he gave to her. Wonder what the “bonus” is he’s talking about?

Same old story…..A celebrity has a mistress and cheats on his wife; the mistress either is cut off from further financial support or the guy refuses to leave his wife for her; the mistress goes public; the celebrity denies everything; the media digs into the matter and finds proof of the affair; and the story drags on. In Cain’s case, he is running for President. No reasonable individual would criticize him too much better the matter is between him and his family. But the fact that he continues to lie about the whole thing and other affairs is too much to overcome. Cain needs to drop out now while he is still financially solvent (maybe?).

Another woman who will be attacked mercilessly by the Religious Right.
The Cain sideshow is over. The writing is on the wall. The ship has sailed. The fat lady has sung. Herman, stop embarrassing yourself and your Party. End your campaign. You’ve made a few million dollars with it. Bow out with what little dignity you have left, before someone else steps forward………………

Why do people automatically assume the woman is lying? We live in a messed up world when people ‘BOO’ a gay soldier, YELL at Debates, to let someone die without medical insurance, applaud at the thought of electrocuting a human being on a fence and now the edacity to call a woman who experienced some financial hardship as a ‘LIAR’. Herman Cain should be ashamed! If he was friends with this woman and provided money to help her, he took money from his wife and kids and that should be the ISSUE and not the fact that she is LYING!! When did we start blaming the VICTIM? Newt Gingrich is the new front-runner and one of the biggest ‘JOKES’ in the GOP field!! Herman Cain is DONE!! I don’t believe all of these women are lying on Mr. Cain, he should work on his marriage ‘FIRST’ and forget about ‘POLITICS’!

Hey, Commander Ed, the word is “court-martial” not “court-marshal” and it’s not capped. @Jack Davis and RH —> exactly, I agree. There’s more serious issues to investigate and report on. Cain won’t be the nominee, and this woman’s credibility is too doubtful (in light of real evidence) to let her be more than a speed bump. Dirty politics is dirty no matter who flings the crap. Pay no attention to this mud-slinging and it’ll fade away…just like those other bimbos did.

Hmm… I would agree except texts and calls at 3 and 4 in the morning would cause anyone’s eyebrows to raise a bit PARTICULARLY the spouse of the one receiving such communications. Its not hard to see that the woman is not coming forward now merely out of “moral” obligation but more because she is strapped for cash and probably Cain has stopped paying. If he was valuable before he is definitely much more valuable now! Gloria needs to reassess indeed! But that really is between them. What is relevent to rest of us is how he has handled this whole situation which is QUITE poorly! He can’t handle this then who couldn’t possibly handle the weight of the Oval office.

That being said it is funny how this black republican candidate is being brought down by accusations. Yet President Clinton was caught in the act as President having a affair with a intern lied about it and still has the respect of the Democratic Party and liberals and his wife. Funny indeed

An affair that’s gone on for 13-14 years yet there’s no hotel room receipts, no airline trip receipts, pictures, sightings, or even a credit card receipt for any purchase made during any of these trips. What did she do, just sit in the hotel room with a shredder during these trips? I’ve never heard of anyone being that successfully discrete about keeping an affair hidden. It would seem like there would be an unexpected encounter with a friend or business associate at least once during that time. If these stories are true this was certainly a sloppy job of investigative journalism.

I realize there at text messages but we do not the content. I text people all the time – does not mean I am having an affair with them. We all know Cain has no chance of winning the bid for this election. Can we please now move onto something else.

this woman in any case is a back stabbing snake in the grass. Even IF she had a sexual relationship with Cain which is questionable at best, he supposedly treated her very well and took her places and helped her in time of need, so what so called “friend” decides to come out now and stab her “friend” in the back and sabatoge his campaign. I really do feel sorry for Herman Cain on this one. She either wants attention or money, maybe both.

Those slants are lies. People who watch fox news & listen to rush listen to lies. And then they turn around & spread those lies that THEY BELIEVE TO BE TRUE. The gop & whoever else takes this kind of strategy will lose. Why? Because God made the world to where cheaters do not prosper.

I just don’t understand why anyone is giving any sort of credence to this woman’s story. The fact that she recently tried to destroy her business partner through libel is a pretty good indicator that she has no problem lying about people. My guess is that she attempted to blackmail Cain for more money and when he did not give in, she went public with her fabricated story. As Bill Clinton said in 1992 when Ginnifer Flowers tried to derail his presidential bid … this is nothing more than “cash for trash.” By the way, despite the allegation of a 12-year affair with Flowers, Clinton went on to be elected to two terms, so it’s time to let these unproven allegations about Cain go. In the end, voters have determined that marital fidelity is not really that important.

…The president also COULD be an honest man. But that possibility simply never occurs to y’all on the Right…” (MurkyRambler).
What?! Sure the possibility occurs to all of us, regardless of political persuasion, but it is so thoroughly contradicted by nearly all available evidence every day. Obama may be the most corrupt and dishonest president we have ever had. Sure, there are other worthy contenders, but it’s one list that Obama may top. Good luck with your daily flotsam and drivel, and I surely hope you are at least getting paid some small pittance for pecking it all out every day and night. LOL, MICHAEL B. — you hit the nail straight on the head.

Bull hockey that Obama is the most corrupt and dishonest President we’ve ever had. What we have are cons that three years into it still can’t deal with a loss, and they soak themselves daily in far right hate rhetoric that greatly distorts their ability to reason or grasp honest facts anymore.

The country is in trouble, we need the best person sitting in the oval office and Herman Cain is not that person because he does not have the intelligence or training.
Posted by: Elizabeth
The country is in trouble because we keep putting career politicians in office – election after election. The only thing that ever changes is the political party. Career politicians ARE the problem because they only think in terms of the next election cycle, not what’s best for the country. Presidents (and even congressional representatives) surround themselves with policy experts – no one person is an expert on everything from finance to foreign policy – so the trick isn’t to pretend to know all the answers (as career politicians always do) it’s to assure the public that the proper experts will be consulted before a major decision is made – and that decisions will be made based on what’s best for the country, not what’s best for the party or what looks best for the next election.
Obama is no different than any other president in recent years. He is a career politician whose decisions are based in party loyalty and what will play well with the voters.
It’s time for something different – time for someone with a different background than that of a career politician.

I am not even necessarily a Cain “supporter”, although I am quite sure he would make a far better president than the absolutely inept and thoroughly corrupt failure (and teleprompted windbag) known as Obama. This sleazy woman is almost certainly lying (entirely or largely), and her credibility is less than zero for all of the glaring reasons others have already repeatedly pointed out. And, like rusty clockwork, here’s SEARAMBLER frenetically posting from far to the left of truth and sensibility, yet again, LOL!. By the way, just curious…what do you do with the very few hours or minutes each day when you’re not posting partisan drivel on these blogs and stories on ABC? Seriously, I have never seen anyone post as much on one news site as you do on ABC. I mean like 24/7, and everywhere. It’s… uh, hilarious — and very deeply pathetic.

It isn’t up to you to diagnose what a person does all day & attack them, but you’re just another gop bully who talks out their %$#@. way to go. & to put obama down bc he uses a teleprompter????!! wow you’re a class(less) act.

Why is ABC News looking to Ginger White for an evaluation on whether or not Cain would be a good president. She is someone with obvious biases and no significant expertise in policy. They could just as well put out a headline saying, “Sean Hannity Says Barack Obama Is not a Good President.” Is this what classifies as news now? Sad.

I don’t like Cain, but this is ridiculous. George Stephanopolis has been inside politics and knows something about what it takes to make a President. The woman probably doesn’t have a clue. But George obvious went out of his way to NOT ask her questions about what a President does that would make her look less-expert or make this interview less sensational. Shame on you, George! Is playing with people’s emotions what you want to contribute to helping people decide who should be president?

No, they didn’t. The issue with Bill Clinton was NOT the cheating – the issue was lying under oath about it during hearings. There is a big difference. Allegations about sexual harassment and extramaritial affairs against Clinton didn’t prevent him from being elected because most people didn’t believe it. It was when he lied under oath about cheating on his wife that he brought legal problems for himself and was impeached by a republican-led congress (of course, that impeachment was later overturned). Again, it wasn’t the cheating that riled up the republicans (I don’t know if people like you just don’t know the history or deliberately try to mislead people about the facts), it was the lying and getting caught lying under oath.

LOL! Boris, you’re a hoot. Once again you prove nothing, you prove no corruption or dishonesty on the part of Obama. But you DO prove that the Right Wing will do and say anything, regardless of the truth, to smear and slam Obama. (Frankly, that’s nothing new). You also apparently believe that Obama personally gets involved in every single decision about every single issue in every single department in the federal government. Which is just plain stupid and moronic – in other words, pure Republican thinking. But don’t let me stop your little hate fest. It’s all y’all got on the Right anymore: hate. No solutions, no decent presidential candidate, nothing really going for you other than bitterness and whining (like your buddy, “whining liberal”. You two are peas in a pod).

You are correct. (While Newt was pursuing Clinton and getting the Grand Jury together, he was having an affair himself, but that is merely a humorous anecdote.) WHY was Clinton called up in front of a Grand Jury to begin with, and asked about having an affair? Oh yeah, because Ken Starr couldn’t find anything ELSE to go after Clinton with. Whitewater was a bust, so he decided to widen the witch hunt. It certainly doesn’t excuse Clintons infidelity, but he never should have been put in front of a Grand Jury to begin with, because Starr found nothing worthwhile with his ‘special prosecutor’ status relating to WHY he was empowered as a special prosecutor to begin with………….

Our debt wouldn’t have taken off like a rocket that never stops, and it’s likely that Iran wouldn’t be mocking us with no fear at all while driving full ahead with nuclear weapons. And geez, Cain can even speak without a teleprompter, and is at least half honest, probably more. Compared to Obama, Cain is paradise.

Gee, your hypothetical world sounds great. Completely made-up fantasy, but it sounds great. What on earth could POSSIBLY lead you to believe that Cain or any other person would have done anything different than Obama did? They still would have had the same Congress, which writes the laws. Or does your hypothetical world also include a hypothetical Congress made up of hypothetical “Patriots” who only work for the good of the nation? The economy in January 2009 would have still been in freefall. TARP would have still been deployed. If we’re going to play hypothetical games, then let’s pretend that the Supreme Court had not handed GW the 2000 election, and instead they selected the guy that more Americans voted for – Al Gore. Just think – Gore would have stopped 9/11 BEFORE it happened, based on the intel the CIA gave the president a month before it happened. We never would have invaded Iraq unprovoked. The Bush tax cuts would never have been enacted, costing the treasury over a trillion dollars so far. The Pill Bill would have never been signed, costing the treasury several hundred billion more. Yeah, playing fantasy hypothetical “what if” games sure is fun……………..

What she’s accusing Cain of is not a crime, right? Even if true, it’s not a deal-killer for the presidency, at least not in light of Bill Clinton. That man was accused publicly of rape by Juanita Broaddrick. He was also accused of groping Kathleen Willey in the White House when she went there to ask for a job. Not to mention what was proven about his exploitation of intern Monica Lewinsky. Not to mention his years-long affair with Gennifer Flowers. I remember all of these. He is still a sleazy man to me. Even if Herman Cain has had dalliances, they haven’t risen to the Clinton level. I don’t care about Cain’s behavior so long as he didn’t force himself on anybody or suborn perjury or break the law.

This Is basically the same thing they did to Governor Palin.

Cain is lower in my opinion now because he chose to associate so long with this whining, feeling sorry for herself, intellectually simple, boring emotionally dead person. One can feel sorry for another, and maybe that’s what he felt for her, but for heavens sake to choose to saddle himself in that kind of relationship for so long says he can’t be that intellectually up to speed. Isn’t his circle of friends large enough for him to find more intellectually challenging people to be with than these airheads?

Well with such a knowledgeable person as this when it comes time to vote I’ll be sure and call this woman up and ask “whom should I vote for”. Wink Wink.

Poor , poor Herman; and poor, poor tea partiers. You backed the wrong horse- and like Cain your only response is “they are all lying”!!! What a sorry candidate and what a pathetic bunch of whining , losers you all are. Cain is a liar- plain and simple!!! Deal with it!!!

Hey Georgie,
Did you collaberate with IGI on this one? This has a familiar aroma…

Character, it’s about character. The voters have a right to question a candidates character. Some may feel adultery is OK, others not. Cain has made statements that are very inconsistent and denying every accusation does not mean they are not true. Public opinion means a lot to a president on the world stage, just look at some the character issues of some other world leaders and how it has brought them down. This country does not need anyone in the oval office with any hint of bad character issues. Cain’s time in the limelight is over, period, get out of the race Herman.

Why can’t republicans find better candidates? All these guys are so flawed or dimwitted, it drives me nuts. I know smart, ethical conservatives – they exist – so what gives?

Hey, don’t you people see the strategy here. I smell David Axelrod here. Look, they fear Mr. Cain for one reason and one reason only. If he were the Republican nominee, they( the democrats) lose the race card agenda. That is all they have left. There president is a failure and they know it. The majority of these politicians have had affairs. So what is new. You know, they all think they are above the law, legal or moral. These allegations are all bogus, class warfare from these scum bag liberals

Mr Stephanopoulos – Did you not eviscerate all of the actual legitimate women who came forward to expose Clintons actual sexual assaults, rape, etc? You have absolutely no credibility on this and many people have figured out that this is an all out assault on Herman Cain by you, liberal elites and political hitmen such as Axelrod. Axelrod involved in using these same tactics against Obama’s opponents on two separate occasions – false accusations – proven to be false but only after Obama was elected and the damage had been done. Check out Ann Coulter’s columns on this dated 11-9-11 and 11-30-11.

Bobby, You are right on. The Dems are so scared of Cain because he is more Black then our President!! I saw the interview, and liked the way George handled it. The most telling question IS the one about Cain being president. When she said “NO” in a lengthy way, that tells me that she is a Liberal, and is doing this to sabotage his campaign. The Liberal shills in the Democratic Party need do no more. Her answer to George’s question reveals her actual agenda. Well done, George!

George, how ironic. You spent years trying to prevent the “bimbo eruptions” of your man Clinton. Now you are desperately trying to expose the affairs of Cain because he is a threat to a Democrat. The bias at ABC is nauseating. No more GMA for me.

George, at least twice on the morning of December 2, you referred to this woman as Herman Cain’s “girlfriend.” You didn’t even bother to use words like “alleged” “self-proclaimed”–just outright declared her his “girlfriend.” Pretty shoddy journalism, if you ask me. Did you ever call Monica Lewinsky Bill Clinton’s girlfriend on national television? Please take a serious look at your personal bias and your responsibility as a journalist. Or perhaps you don’t consider yourself a journalist. Perhaps you have consciously decided to take advantage of your position to promote your preferred political agenda. You have the opportunity to raise the level of your profession…or not. Please at least consider it.

“Cain would not be a good president just like Clinton was a bad president. Subprime, 9/11, derivatives on Wallstreet destroyed America. Clinton was involved with all off this.”
You must be an idiot to think that Clinton destroyed American when it was the Republicans, led by NEWT Gingrich, who were writing all the legislation to deregulate and create “derivatives”. Clinton SIGNED legislation, and didn’t MAKE legislation. The reason Clinton signed the legislation on deregulation and Derivatives was so that he can get the Democrats’ social programs (K-12, college tuition programs, after school enrichment programs, healthcare for low income households, etc.)
Interesting how these are the very same programs that the Reublicans are writing legislation to ELIMINATE, while President is negotiating to leave programs intact, including Medicare, social security, healthcare, education.

unfortunate that the media can pick and choose candidates using smear and hearsay

Hey Georgie… Tell me please. Since you are such good friends with Obama, were you with him during his cocaine event and homosexual tryst? I’d really like to hear more about these incidents
