Gloria Cain Fox News Appearance: Herman Cain's Wife Cancels Interview

As GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain wades his way through a flurry of sexual harassment allegations, his wife has apparently decided that now is not the time to speak on the issue.

The New York Times reports that Gloria Cain has canceled a Friday evening interview with Fox News. She was scheduled to appear on "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren."

Cain hinted a few days ago that his wife would eventually make a media appearance. "You will meet my wife publicly in an exclusive interview that we are currently planning and anticipating, but you won't see my family out on the campaign trail on a day-to-day basis," Cain told Fox News.

Cain's week began on a high note, with news that he was tied with Mitt Romney for the lead in a key Iowa poll. The celebration was short-lived, as Politico released a report Sunday evening accusing the GOP hopeful of sexually harassing two women during his tenure at the National Restaurant Association (NRA).

Adding to Cain's troubles, a third accuser came forward on Wednesday alleging inappropriate conduct on Cain's part.

Despite the controversy, Gloria Cain has stayed by her husband's side. Herman Cain told the AP that she was "still 200 percent supportive of me in this whole race, 200 percent supportive of me as her husband, because I haven't done anything."

I think she doesn't want to be put on the spot to lie. He doesnt mind telling a whopper or two but she does. Maybe those lawsuites arent as nothing as he would lead us to believe. She would have known about them I'm sure. And as a woman...when you're going through BS...where do you turn...Girlfriends. Were she to take a public stand and say this didnt happen and it did...and she shared her grief...SHE would also be a blatant liar. All dog owners know what kind of dog they have. It also seems rather strange to me that someone who is INTENSELY private would want to be the first lady.

Herman Cain will be the first true American “African-American” president.
Hussein Obama’s father was an African from a well to do tribe in Kenya. Obama is an African “African-American” who has never known poverty, never lived in a ghetto, was raised in a white environment by his white grandmother and was protected from the racism and segregation that American “African-Americans”, who are descendants of enslaved African peoples, were and still are being subjected to.
Do people hate Herman Cain because he is a descendant of enslaved people from Africa and tolerate Hussein Obama because Obama’s father is not a descendant from enslaved people from Africa? Did anybody ever take the time to check if his father’s tribe ever sold captured people into slavery to the Arabs in the past AND present? Or is this not in the interest of American Foreign Policy?

First off this guy has the math skills of a used car salesman. Anything over 100% is a sign of a poorly processing mind. Second either she is not the right wife of a public official, she is painfully shy, or she is a stepford wife, southetn traditionalist. In either case, I would pay cash money to know whom she voted for in the last election.

...and he tells her 200 percent of the time what to do. If he can't let his wife out of the kitchen, then how is she going to manage duties as a First Lady?

Is anyone else concerned about the fact we have an individual running as a potential presidential canditate and his wife Gloria Cain has not publicly shown support for him and avoids the press?

In his autobiography, "This is Herman Cain", Herman Cain said "he is often asked why she is not on the campaign trail with him. She is at home, I answer. And Gloria will tell them that she’s not running but she supports me 100 percent. That’s all I need.” That may be what works for him but what about the people of this country?

The duties of the first lady are vitally important! Don't we need a first lady that cares about the problems in this country and is willing to work hard and help do something about them. In the past, first ladies have worked hard to improve things in this nation by supporting programs for breast cancer education and research, to stamp out literacy, and many other health and education concerns.

At a time like this can we afford to have a first lady that does not have this kind of focus to help the people?

She can blow him out of the water with what she knows he did over the years... that why Koch Cain kept her hidden.

Mrs. Cain's no show, staying at home and waiting on hubby is the essence of what's at stake here--woman's rights. The extreme religious right is hell bent on getting women out of the work place and stuffed away at home and pregnanat whenever whether they want to or not .

In the state of Michigan someone with big bucks is pushing to change divorce laws to exclude business as a part of the pie for the spouse. Big bucks hmmm. Second wealthiest is the Amway DeVos family that is heavily into fundamental Christian religion. There are plenty of critical websites relative to Amway and their push to follow biblical rule not civil.

Factions against women abound and they're throwing big bucks out there to incorporate their ideas into our political system. Excuse me if I offend but "sharia law" comes to mind. Slap a burka on me and call me Amatullah. Not much of difference. Rescinding voting rights for women will be down the line.

Now you know why the faceless accusers haven't come out in public either. The two that have are MEN.

Mrs.Cain you are a beautiful, classy and private LADY. Be prepared, but don't these attacks steal your joy. Keep your head held high, do not look down, because that's where the dirt lives. It's where it belongs and guaranteed to stay. Even if your man had no potential at all, jealous, vengeful HO's will always make dark noise.

She probably heard that she'd be doing the cringing, Wronged Wife media circuit the same time we did, and she said, "Oh no, I'm not!"

I feel sorry for Mrs. Cain. She never campaigns with him, you never see her. When Herman Cain was asked about it, he said, "I have a family, and my wife stays home to keep everything in order there for me when I get home." She's probably not allowed to talk.

The family includes two grown children who each have their own families. Is everybody living in one house? If not, what is Gloria keeping in order for Herman's return?

Something isn't right or she would have been out there on day one.I think she may have known about one but three??? Poor woman........

I can't help but wonder if she knows any of them. That would certainly add a new dimension to this if she did.

Is anyone really surprised? Cain isn`t about to let his wife speak. He`s kept her quite for the past year, so what`s new??

The margin over 100% that a person uses in reference to support is inversely proportionate to their sincerity. We could buy that she supports him 101% or even 110% but 200% ...Come on Herm, she ain't showin' up.

This is infinitely better than the GOP debates where the candidates slam one another, discuss the trivial like gardeners (Perry/Romney), fences (Cain), Obamacare and other things that are irrelevant, anything but real job creation.

This is far more intereting and a terrific distraction from listening to Gingrich pontificate (old failed ideas passed off as new), Santorum gloat and his hatred of gay men, Bachmann's foot in mouth disease and learning that Obama got us into Libya AND Africa (Bachmann).

How refreshing a change is this from the insanity of the GOP fish flopping debates?

Great distraction to a nation wondering if there is a sane GOP candidate.

This is so depressing that I hope the Klingons invade Earth and win. Yes, I'm that conflicted.

A few observations:

You know its bad when Cain has to start saying 200%... next week he'll have to say 300%.

I'm wondering if this can beat the David Vitter & wife press conference of shame.

Who knows how many women it will have turned out Cain harassed by the time any Mrs. Cain interview happens?
