Herman Cain Suspends Presidential Campaign
In the wake of both sexual harassment and infidelity allegations, Republication Presidential nominee Herman Cain suspended his campaign this afternoon, effectively ending his bid for the White House in 2012.
"As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign," Cain said at an Atlanta rally, vowing that "I am not going to be silenced and I am not going away."
Cain cited the "continued distraction" of chatter over Ginger White's claim that she carried on a 13-year affair - during which Cain supposedly showered her with gifts and financial help - with the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza as the basis for his decision.
"These false and untrue allegations continue to be spinned in the media, and in the court of public opinion so as to create a cloud of doubt over me and this campaign and my family," Cain said. "That spin hurts. It hurts my wife. It hurts my family. It hurts me. And it hurts the American people, because you are being denied solutions to our problems."
Even before White rose to national prominence, Cain was under pressure after several other women accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct in the 1990s when he was the head of the National Restaurant Association.
"One of declarations I want to make to you today is that I am at peace with my God. I am at peace with my wife, and she is at peace with me. And I am at peace with my family and at peace with myself," Cain said.

@TMac- You must be the Dumbest SOB alive. Obama ain't Sh*t. He has done everything but what he should do- LEAD! He points Fingers- Begs For Money- Typical for His Kind I would say. He needs to take a page out of Bill Clinton's book and learn how to reach across the Table. He has a chip on his Shoulder- he has Al Sharpton "Ear Screwing" him once a Week. Black on White Crime is at an all time high. Unemployment is higher than its been in 50 years! All you people see is Color when you vote. The "Oval Office" is not a Learn as you go Job! He needs to do something more than reach in the White Man's Pocket! He will without a Doubt be out in 2012!
@Lisa- Crawl back in your Hole.
You people need to get an Education. This Country will not sit back and let him Spread the Wealth. The only way The Government has at getting money is taking from one and giving to another.

And also @ Neci! I don't want to be no damn president! But if I was president, I would do a better job than all the presidents combined so far. And I would definitely be a better president than you think I would. But it doesn't matter what you think, because you don't pay attention to details. So what do you know about me or anyone's capacity to be a good president? Exactly....NONE!

@ Neci. Obviously, you don't pay attention to details very well, do you?! Because if you did, you would have read my last post and read that I had commented that I know that Obama is not responsible for the raggedy condition that this country was in when he came into office. But the unfortunate truth of matter, THIS COUNTRY IS STILL RAGGEDY!!!....With Obama in office! In spite of the fact that Obama ranted profusely about change and so far, Obama have not done a damn thing, but kiss a$$! Fortunately for him, he have until the next election to make good on his promises to the American people.

@ Lisa.
I know that Obama needs congress approval. But Obama is so busy kissing everyone’s a$$ that he is not applying himself as president. There is a lot of work to be done in this country, really important things. And Obama is too busy getting the so-called majorities to approve of him that he is not doing the job that America elected him to do. Obama is too timid! America needs someone who is not afraid to take a stand when they need to regardless of whether the so-called majority will approve of him or not. And unfortunately, Obama is not that person. I know that this country was a complete mess when Obama came into office, and I am not blaming him for that. Obama’s pre-elected speeches were about changes, where are the changes that really counts? I look at it like this, four years is enough time to give anyone a chance to prove themselves, and Obama four years will be officially up in January 2013. Say La Vee, Mr. Obama! But it is unfortunate that Cain coward out. I would

I don't understand. Everyone says Obama isn't doing anything. Doesn't he need congress' approval? I don't think its mainly our presidents as the problem, I believe it is also congress. They gave themselves raises. We have no problem with that, but we give Obama hell. Why?

Herman Cain is such a wisp! I wonder how much he got paid to back down! The so-called majority thinks that since Obama is in office they have met their quota of tokens. I hope that Obama torture them, (the so-called majority), some more by being reelected. Even the GOP thinks that it's better Obama than Cain. With Obama being half white, he is perceived as being less threatening or the lesser evil. Run, coward, run!!! Coward is Cain's new name!
