Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich repeated his call to fire Bernanke "as soon as possible" and echoed Rep. Ron Paul's repeated cries to audit the institution. Paul himself reverberated his crusade to check the Fed's books. And then Herman Cain, a former Fed Board Member, jumped on the bandwagon in a post-debate interview with Fox's Gretta Van Susteren.

"Yes, I would fire Ben Bernanke — I would also audit the Federal Reserve because there has been some bookkeeping going on that I don't think that the public totally knows about in terms of where did all of the TARP money go, who got bailed out, et cetera," Cain said. "Back in the '90s, when I was on the board of the Federal Reserve, we didn't have to deal with a $14 trillion debt — we had a much smaller debt to deal with — so we didn't try and basically tweak this economy with monetary policy and control unemployment as well as price stability."

How many times has he flip-flopped on this issue? Like 20something?

Someone should put together a video of all his comments regarding this issue. It would be hilarious to watch him contradict himself like 50 times within a 2 to 5 minute video lol.

He is scaring me big time. I really hope he doesn't get the nomination or any position in government. Sad thing he is considered the most conservative and people keep flocking to him.

What's wrong with you people? Don't you get that this is comparing apples to oranges? What Cain says initially is a orange and what he says to contradict the thing he said is an apple. GEEZE...

Don't believe the hype - Herman is toast.

We have bigger fish to fry now, their names are Mitt & Newt.

The Fed doesn't need to be audited. There's nothing to find.

Just call them up and ask them.

The Fed has so many internal audits it's ridiculous.

Audit the Fed!

Another blatant flip flop? Sounds like another 5% increase in the polls will follow, then. How can this miserable excuse for a candidate maintain his level of support?

Lol!

No kidding.

To understand Cain, one simply has to ignore anything that resembles logic or consistancy.

Eazy peazy. It's really all the T-party grassroots dynamo ever asks of us...:toady:

I don't know if this is a new statement but I hadn't heard it before:
http://silverunderground.com/2011/11/fed-news-friday-where-does-herman-cain-stand-on-auditing-the-federal-reserve/

Cain told the crowd that they should focus on setting up a meeting with Federal Reserve officials and ask questions about what control measures the bank has in place. He called the Federal Reserve “one of the tightest-run federal entities I have ever seen.”

Why should a tightly run entity have its chairman fired and its books audited?
