Herman Cain: 'I Felt Like Moses' (VIDEO)

Better ante up, journalists, because Herman Cain is prepared for even the toughest interview topics.

The GOP candidate told Christian Broadcasting Network that he's "ready for the 'gotcha' questions."

"When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I’m going to say you know, I don’t know. Do you know?" he said.

For those keeping score, Uzbekistan's current president is Islam Karimov.

Cain explained that his top priorities are job creation and national security, not "knowing who is the head of some of these small insignificant states around the world."

The Republican hopeful also sounded off on his campaign's religious influences.

"I felt like Moses when God said I want you to go into Egypt and lead my people out," he said. "God has been in this since the beginning...there are certain things that happen along this journey that they couldn’t happen unless God was in it."

It's no wonder Cain's feeling like a prophet-- he dominated last month's Florida straw poll and impressed the audience at Friday's Values Voter Summit.

Watch some of the interview below, or head over to CBN for more clips.

I'll pass on a 1-dimensional president, thanks though.

And with that, Herman lost the support of all Uzbek-Americans.

THE ACCUSER
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

If you feel like Moses...
1. Get the pork off the pizza,
2. Stay in the desert for 40 years

Anyone tell this idiot Moses never made it to the promise land? MAYBE HE CAN FIND IT IN DADDY's caddy

MSNBC must be nervous about Cain because Larry O'Donnell interviewed (R) Buddy Roemer tonight. Ostensibly, the interview was to discuss Buddy's support of the Wall Street protestors, but Larry gave Buddy a free platform to promote his presidential candidacy. Look out, here comes the next GOP flavor of the week touted by the media!

Cain is the flavor of the week be touted by the media. They want anyone but Paul, and are working hard to convince people he has no shot.

Possibly, but it has been nearly 20 years since Herman Cain was CEO of the pizza chain, and he has had a varied and successful business career since that time.

Not to mention a former deputy and chairman of the KC federal reserve. No thanks. It's time to stop the printing press, not throw it into overdrive.

G_d has been very busy this election cycle, first Palin. then Bachmann, now Cain.  Busy and apparently getting it wrong.

People on here are so funny, its not funny. Lets ignore someone who has actually done something sucessful with his life, on many different business's etc. How is a self made man..and lets throw rocks and insults at him..and continue the man currently in the whitehouse, who continues to fail...obama...a proven failure..yea lets keep that guy!

No one is "self-made" in this country. As much as we want to believe that his perseverance and determination got him the American Dream, others helped him along the way. And if his way of grabbing the American Dream is the same as how he wants to grab the dream of being president, there are people today who have foot prints on their backs from being stepped on.

[tokyomk]

Really? So, by that argument then, we should assume that Obama has left his footprints on the backs of others to get to the White House. Basically, that is what you are saying.

The press likes to cherry pick quotes that will get the news read. I recc you read his website and other places to get a better idea of his platform.

You mean a drastic overhaul of the tax system reduced down to talking points?

[MightyYowp]

It's nice to have a tax code than one can actually put into words. Notice the words close a lot of the loopholes Murdoch and others talk about.
