People please!

Herman Cain is getting a free pass on his utter lack of a clue in foreign policy. To run for the Presidency and not know what is going on in Libya is rather inexcusable. When you run for the Presidency it is for the sake of the nation, not to improve your standing in it.

Clinton got a free pass from the American public, not from the media, Congress, or the prosecuting team. Once the public has all the details, but gives you a free pass anyway, it's over. There's no use bitching about it.

And while the masses are generally ignorant, they do sense what is going on; that Clinton was an utter womanizer, but was not using it as an excuse, while the prosecution was charging him with this during the investigation of a completely unrelated matter upon which he was later found innocent.

It was like, they have gone after him with all weapons on hand, so now we know the very worst of him, and it merely makes him human.

It's also an understanding of what makes leadership; you can be a womanizer and have affairs and still be President, but what you can't do is show weakness. Clinton's finger-jab was a bitter pill for his political enemies, but he was sure never to be a deer in the headlights.
