SecDef Herman Cain?
By Adam Levine
He's out of the race to be the Republican presidential candidate, so Herman Cain is on the hunt for a new job. His dream job? Secretary of Defense. That's what he told ABC News' Barbara Walters in an interview that aired Wednesday night.
Cain said he was "totally hypothetically" interested in the job.
"If I could influence rebuilding our military the way it should be, that would be a task I would consider undertaking," Cain said in the interview.
The answer might seem surprising given Cain's proud declaration that he lacked a full grasp on international matters. It certainly seemed to take Walters by surprise.
"What?," she spat out. "Why Department of Defense?"
She then asked him about his lack of familiarity with countries around the world.
"I have been doing my homework ever since that difficulty," he explained.

This headline should read: How the world may come to an early end.
He probably didn't go for any of the other cabinet jobs because he doesn't know any of them.
LoL. I can't believe this clown show. It just keeps getting worse and worse...The death of a once fine party of intellectuals reduced to this...Sad
Complete moron!
he can't even defend himself very well. Now go make me a pizza!
Conspiracy Theory, Conspiracy Theory – here it is – the real bad boys on the right as we know, will try anything in order to prevent Pres. Obama being re-elected. Find an extreme righty who is black, hates Obama, wants notoriety and will do absolutely anything to satisfy his tremendous ego regardless of his past. Nothing to lose – why not take a chance. If he would have become the GOP candidate, enough of the black vote would go to Cain from Obama in order to make a difference and BINGO they have their own black boy in office and God help us as he appears to be just the opposite of the fine man who is in there now.
Cain as Secretary of Defence might bomb the wrong country. But most Americans wouldn't notice the mistake as they are just as ignorant about the rest of the world.
Hey, he ran Godfather's Pizza, why not history's most powerful military?
Geez, the fact that this guy was the front runner of the Republican primary even for a second says something horrible about our country.
Well, it certainly says something about my party.
This guy's still a gold mine of dumbfounding idiocy. Does he have any military experience at all?
He's probably having some war experiences right now with the Mrs.
reat place for him with all those officers involved in sexual harrassment and drunkedness. Nothing personal against DoD, but would you hire him knowing what you know. Newt or Romney might hire him
Brain dead Herman Cain as Secretary of Defense? Oh mine! What's this World coming to?
Herman Cain claims he's now studying World's Geography NOW that he's out and have all the time to himself. Whew! I didn't know these GOPers have such low IQ's. Even a 2-yr. old in Kabul knows World's Geography and leaders of every country including their natural resources.
LOCO !!!!
Oh My God.
Defence secretary should know much more about Libya? Libya? Libya? and Ubeki-beki-bekistan than Cain does.
He was a civilian employee of the USN. According to the GOP he's more than qualified... to be a troop master of the Boy Scouts
That's according to the books of brain dead GOP impotent midgets NOT in our books of intellectuals. World Geography these imbecilic dumb GOPers are struggling with is something one learns in 1st and 2nd Grade. Not only that, every 1st and 2nd. grade school have Globe of the World in their classrooms.
It tells a lot about these imbecilic dumb GOPers Assesssss! Who are these toothless trailer park idiots who vote them into offices?
Who at CNN posts this garbage? What is the name and telephone of their supervisor?
Glad you asked.
Here's CNN Supr's. Toll Free office number you're looking for. Tel No: 1-999-999-9999.
Keep dialing if it's busy or get yourself a speed dial phone to break thru. the bottleneck jam. I was able to give my piece of mind to the CNNSupr .
That's why he backed out of endorsing last week. He's shopping for the best deal he can get for his endorsement.
He wanted to sell his endorsement to the highest bidder, but the highest bid was a frozen pizza.
Herman Cain is desperate!
The news media need to find something else to talk about. This guy dosent even know what country he is in. Is he the new sarah palin? Clowns want solve these tough problems in america.
Cain is crazy and out of his mind. His a loser, very delusional, he creates his own fantasy. Big joke, and disgusting pig. He just needs to go away and drop from the face of the earth.
BwaHaHaHahahaha......... You're hired!
No...You cant do that. No one should place their family with Cain. I am African and I am proud of US army. I dont want to see Cain near it... The good job they are doing will become a bad job fast enough. God bless you marines. Semper fi
ALL US enemies became very happy if this happens
Your bombs will be there in 30 minutes or they are free!!!
Buy one... get one free
Say and flip anything to get elected... Mr Romney can promise H. Cain SOD to get his endorsement
Tell this HOE HOE HOE feller he is WAY OUT OF LINE of SECDEF MAterial.. IS HE INSANE? Dont care if scandal was trumped up..evidence says people were harmed, give them benefit of doubt.
that's possible the scariest thing I have ever heard. This guy has no business in politics what-so-ever.
Seriously? CNN, where is your integrity? This is more like National inquirer, or Pravda BS. In print form it would belong at the checkout counter at the grocery story along with all the other crappy sensationalist mags.
I have been studying those countries too. Can I be Secretary of Defense.
I have been watching the travel channel on cable and eating lots of pizza. Can I be Secretary of Defense too?
You (He) got(s) to be kidding. The guy has no clue – pepperoni with that ?
Dumb is as dumb is............................................Wth O-BAM-Ass as Commander in Chief (?) and this guy as Sec. Def. can you just amagin the laughing stock of the world would be the USA..
don't knock it! Texas has the biggest dumb azz that runs your state. Dumb as a door knob. Even a 5th grader can outsmart him. What does this have to do with Obama? You bunch of hicks, inbreeder's, your governor is an embarrassment to your white race!!!!
Are we having a bad day?
Is "amagin" anything like "imagine"?
....he is good at denying responsibility. Will this joker never stop vying for attention?
He could probably manage a Pizza Hut, if there were no women employees.
ROTFL more like Secretary of Delusion!
WTF kind of experience does he have for SOD?
What's he gonna do, throw pepperoni at the enemy?
Secretary of Pizza.
LOL!
Oh, goody. Read a newspaper, then become Secretary of Defense. Yup, that oughta do it. The man continues his self-delusion.
He'll win your wars in 30 minutes or less...OR ELSE IT'S FREE!
A guy who didn't even know China has nukes for Secr. of Defense? Talk about loony.
He wants to be the Secretary of DeFence because it is located right behind the "Dog House" his wife put him in. Herman Cain has a way to go just to become half as smart as Sarah Palin and that is no compliment. He would still be nowhere near qualifying to be Sec. of Defense.
If he wants to be SofD, shouldn't he know where Lymibia is first? What a duh...
How it going to work with Secretary of Defense? because he can't even defense those lady and he even don't know the other leader.
What a complete and total moron!
right?
He should be the US ambassador to Labibya.
he knows where Labya is.
Let us have fun with Republicans and their potential offices. Michelle Bachmann to head the CDC charged with vaccine management. Newt Gingrich to head up the DOJ (so ethical). Gary Johnson to head the DEA charged with arresting POT farmers. Rick Perry to be the secretary of state. Mitt Romney as the ambassador to the Vatican.
Before we know it, DeaF Secretary Cain would be waging war on those illegal Roman legions and combat them green little men that slipped in from Mars under the electrical ozon fence. For those who don't know, Mars is on the other side of Africa, just a bit further out, past Turbanistan. Oh brother...
He certainly seems to know a lot of secretaries and other FWB. So I guess that qualifies him. No?
No wonder the republican party set him up using the Anita Hill weapon of mass dectruction to hasten his downfall.
still a fool
Maybe he should find out where Libya is first!
Go away, Hermie...your 15 minutes are up...
these people do not realize when their time is up.
palin = only spews nonsense
trump = tv ratings is the only time he pops up
cain = womanizer and now wants secretary of defense – haaa – not on obama's time.
You gotta be kidding me! This guy knows NOTHING about foreign policy and he want's to be the Secretary of Defense? Aside from Secretary of State, it has to be the job he is least qualified for – oh, and President.
That is a joke.
Hermain Cain is delusional. He is unqualified for the job of Secretary of Defense and should just forget it!! No president in his right mind would ever appoint Cain for the job. Cain lacks an understanding of international and defense affairs. Furthermore, he is morally unfit for the job.
Is this a joke ?
Cain couldn't make Secretary of Pizza , in his dreams !
I didn't realize Barbara Walters is doing a comedy show .
Da Kingfish be way too offensive for Defense!
The guy is an out and out lunatic...how does he deserve any attention at all?
@rino bill..."Senator John McCain would make a far better Secretary of Defense than anyone else ... including Herman Cain."....
Secretary of "Depends" would more fitting for McCain.....that crazy, bitter old coot needs to retire and leave public life forever.....
Why don't they just make my dog Secretary of Defense , the dog would do just has good of Job.
Mickey Mouse would certainly make a better Secretary of STATE, being a popular character all over the world, a bringer of joy and harmony.
Why this offensive, philandering idiot thinks that he will be considered by any candidate for any position of responsibility whatsoever is a further sign of just how self-deluding he is.
Just go away, you contemptible loon!
OMG! Defense?
The sexual pervert Herman Cain couldn't even defend himself after his many sexual escapades with a bunch of loose girls/women, more or less, to express the ambition to defend our great nation. He simply doesn't GET IT! Doesn't he realize the awful shame he has brought to himself, his family, and the republican party???
Oh..ok, maybe Newt would appoint him the job he seeks. After all they are both sexually promiscuous and maybe they could cruise together as night buddies...who knows?
I wish this idiot would just go away, enough already. He is about as capable of being SOD as mickey mouse, and mickey may be more qualified then this loud mouth fool.
He would have to learn how to find Libya on a map. First he would have to learn to spell it.
Not even Seretary of fast food!!!
I think that even Donald Rumsfelf would make a better Secretary than Herman Cain and Donald was pretty miserable. Poor Herman wouldn't be able to fine UzBeki-Beki-Beki-Stan-Stan on a map and doesn't understand the strategic importance of this "insignificant country".
And that's exactly who we'll get as SecDef if one of these radical GOPers won the White House. His name might be different, but we'd get the same completely un-qualified dumb-ass in every cabinet appointment.
Remember Rummy?! Pushed lies & deceptions to the American people to start war, never served, never held a gun – unless he was drinking/hunting from a truck with lame Dick.
Not that I disagree with you on his performance, but Rumsfeld did serve in the Navy.
Senator John McCain would make a far better Secretary of Defense than anyone else ... including Herman Cain.
Secretary of "Depends" would more fitting for McCain
McCain for SOD? Best possible candidate? Right!! BTW, which country were you referring to? He would make a terrific SOD in Grenada.
LOL!
