Cain: I’m ‘going after Romney’ at Tuesday debate, Obama has ‘never been a part of the black experience in America’

{mosads}Cain did not elaborate on his question for Romney, but said he was fully prepared to discuss his 9-9-9 economic plan, which has come under fire from Republicans and Democrats both for potentially shifting the tax burden to the poor and middle class. The Washington Post and Bloomberg, who are hosting the debate, have said that the conversation will focus only on economic issues.

“All of them are going to try to attack me for this radical 9-9-9 plan. Here’s where they don’t have a chance, in all modesty,” Cain said. “All of their economic proposals pivot off of the current tax code. You know that’s a non-starter. I’m going to basically say, if they attack me on 9-9-9, it’ll be a very easy pushback. I can explain it, I can defend it, we’ve had it scored and all of that.”

Cain also unapologetically employed some of the racially charged language that has caused controversy over the past week, joking that he would be “moving up from the back of the bus” by securing a seat across from Romney as a frontrunner for Tuesday’s debate.

Cain also charged that President Obama has “never been a part of the black experience in America.” The comment came as Boortz and Cain were discussing ways that Cain would compete favorably with the president.

Cain also said that he would prevail in future debates with Obama.

“It would almost be no contest,” Cain said.
