He said, "President Obama supported the uprising, correct? President Obama called for the removal of Gaddafi. Just wanted to make sure we're talking about the same thing before I say, 'Yes, I agreed. No, I didn't agree.'

He apologized for his muddled reaction, saying, "I got all this stuff twirling around in my head." Cain spokesman JD Gordon later explained to MSNBC that the former Godfather's Pizza CEO "didn't say anything wrong or inaccurate; it just took him a while to recall the specifics of Libya."

Later on in the interview, Cain remarked, "Some people want to say as President you're supposed to know everything. No you don't." "I believe in having all of the information, as much of it as I possibly can, rather than making a decision or a statement about whether I totally agree or disagree when I wasn't privy to the entire situation." Cain's stumble comes a week after Texas Governor Rick Perry suffered from an awkward loss of words during a Republican debate in Michigan, in which he forgot the third agency of the government he plans to shut down if elected president.
