i am herman cain and i am running for president of the united states of america. i normally don t have notes. but in this case i wanted to make sure that i didn t miss any points that i needed to cover today. secondly, i chose to address these accusations directly. rather than do it through a series of continuous statements or spokes people, because that is the person herman cain is. is to take my message directly to the people. with respect to the most recent accusations, i have never acted inappropriately
