After commenting during a speech that bills have became too long and convoluted for the American people to understand, Herman Cain joked that if he's elected president no legislation will be longer than three pages. His comments drew the attention of comedian Jon Stewart who mocked the candidate and suggested the new slogan, "I'm Herman Cain and I do not like to read." Some are calling Stewart's bit racist.

Cain responded saying, "I'm not offended by what he was trying to do. He's a comedian, I'm a problem-solver, so I'm not the one playing that card, some other people are playing that card. It's not about color. I keep saying that. It's about content of ideas and it is about character."

Cain thinks that people have more of an issue his political stance, saying "Jon Stewart does not like me, in my opinion, because I'm an American, black conservative. Because I'm black and conservative, I think he probably has a bigger problem with that than he does the whole race thing."

  • What exactly is this guy's problem solving experience? He has been a talk radio host and lobbyist for almost 20 years.

  • Cain, what a total joke. Only the teabag morons and FIX News hacks think he has anything to offer

  • Herman, keep your head up! As a prophet once said, "life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line." Never lose hope.

  • Stewart took Hermans joke and turn it into a joke that was actually funny

  • Funny thing, this same Juan Willians was talked down to by a fellow republican Newt while discussing race on the south carolina debate. lol good for him. Hope he sees the light and go Democrat.

  • Fox News is very well known here in Europe as one of the most disgusting, corrupted network of liars for conservative scum .
