Cain: Wife didn't know about friendship, ‘financial assistance' to Ginger White

MANCHESTER - In his most candid interview since the latest allegations emerged, Herman Cain adamantly maintains that he and Ginger White were no more than friends. He told the New Hampshire Union Leader that in about 70 text messages she sent him between Oct. 22 and Nov. 18, she was "asking for financial assistance. She was out of work and had trouble paying her bills and I had known her as a friend."

MANCHESTER - Herman Cain acknowledged Thursday that he repeatedly gave Ginger White money to help her with "month-to-month bills and expenses" without telling his wife.
In fact, the embattled presidential candidate said, his wife, Gloria, "did not know that we were friends until she (White) came out with this story."
In his most candid interview since the latest allegations emerged, Cain adamantly maintained that he and White were no more than friends.
He told the New Hampshire Union Leader that in about 70 text messages she sent him between Oct. 22 and Nov. 18, she was "asking for financial assistance. She was out of work and had trouble paying her bills and I had known her as a friend.
"She wasn't the only friend who I had helped in these tough economic times, and so her messages to me were relating to ‘need money for rent' or whatever the case may be. I don't remember all the specifics."
Cain said White, who has alleged that she and Cain had a 13-year extramarital affair, told him that she did not have a job and was unable to get financial help from her family, "and that quite frankly, I was the only person who was a friend at the time - and I underscore ‘friend' - that was in a position to help her.
"I'm a soft-hearted person when it comes to that stuff. I have helped members of my church. I have helped members of my family.
"And I know a lot of other people who had done the same thing, and sometimes, quite frankly, it was desperation," Cain said.
Cain said that in 17 reported text messages back to her, he would respond with messages such as, "What are you doing to get a job?"
Cain said he did give Ginger White money, although he would not say how much on the advice of counsel.
And, he acknowledged, "My wife did not know about it, and that was the revelation. My wife found out about it when she went public with it.
"My wife now knows," Cain said. "My wife and I have talked about it and I have explained it to her. My wife understands that I'm a soft-hearted giving person."
He said his wife "is comfortable with the explanation that I told her."
He said he told his wife about White only after White went public.
Cain said that in retrospect he should have told his wife about his friendship with White, "but retrospect doesn't necessarily change what's going on now."
He also said his wife "did not know we were friends until she (White) came out with this story."
He said White did not threaten to go public with the allegation of an affair if Cain did not give her money, "nor was there any indication that there might be blackmail or anything like that.
"I thought I was helping a friend, end of story," he said.
Cain said the two "struck up a friendship" many years ago when she attended a conference in Louisville, Ky., where he was the keynote speaker.
Cain said he does not know why White has gone public with the allegation.
"But I have very strong speculation that someone offered her a lot of money," Cain said. "I was helping her with month-to-month bills and expenses and somebody _ this is speculation only _ offered her a lot of money.
"And one of my objectives is to clear my name and my reputation," Cain said.

oh shit - she is going to shoot his ass.

Don't worry, MCWAY will take the bullet for him.
Cain says he won't decide whether to continue the campaign until he sees his wife in person. He expects to do that Friday.
When you come to the fork in the road where you have to wait for your wife decide what you should do.... well, let's say that his dropping out won't be a surprise.

America wants a LEADER.
No real MFing leader lets the emotions of his wife get in the way of him SAVING AMERICA.
Any woman that lets some unmentioned friendship get in the way of her hubby SAVING AMERICA doesn't deserve influence upon that decision.
Cain's a sleazebag. This isn't deniable anymore. He was married and paying females on the side. "I'm the only straight talker in this race" kinda goes out the window. The man has zero integrity. It's not even debatable.

Out the back window I make a escape
Don't even get a chance to grab my old school tape
I was listening to "The Tower" and some other Ice-T stuff just yesterday. I got that tape in the 11th grade and listened nonstop.

Got to give Cain credit. He is straight pimping. He has a stable of hoes.
-
How would the fellahs here feel...
If they had to turn on CNN to see some "Friend" of you wife has been cashing checks from your woman for THIRTEEN YEARS?
Not only did the chick never tell you about her "Friend", but they'd been bouncing around on plane rides and whatnot too.
Oh, and she been texting his ass at4:26 AM while you slept in bed next to her. Ouch.
Oh, and he's into some freaky 3-way sex shit, he's bi, and all that good stuff.
How would ya feel, fellahas? hahahahha

Cain could be head of Department of Pimps.
You know what - of je goes total imp and gangsta, je might get some votes.
between the 2 live crew vote, the ice t vote, etc, je could do it.
-
Another thing to consider...
This kind of obvious "outpatient economic assistance" - giving money to broke asses - is paramount to welfare. And she didn't even have kids.
Cain sets a horrible example - the poor should be given free money (secretly) for over a decade?
It's tough for his WORDS to tell people to work hard, and it's their own damn fault they aren't successful - then he sets the example by handing morally corrupt (lesbian) "friends" money for 13 years? Lying by omission handouts to lesbians. 3 sins in one act? yikes!

hahahah ayou'vebeen dying to drop the ghetto pimp insults on cain for months, huh?
it's funny looking back - when getbiggers were championing him, nobody had heard of him. He ascended to the top quickly, then turned out to be such a big fcking liar.
Looking at his press conference, 33, at the press club where he said there's "no need to look into anything further..."
Admit it - you figured he was hiding something, right bro?
-
Bro - I. Am just laughing so hard over all of this. What a circus. Cain must have been banging hoes daily. Now wifey at home gets to learn of all this via the media and herb has to try to tell her 9 9 9 and she if she will buy in to it.
Bet Cain jas a book of hoes like no other.

Some people are so easy to see through, it's a wonder they can fool so many for so long. This goes for many of the other insincere assoles running and already "serving".
