Herman Cain Pledges Not To Sign Any Bill Longer Than Three Pages

[stevedeshazer]

GOP presidential contender and former pizza executive Herman Cain roused conservative audience members yesterday at his appearance in Pella, Iowa. During his address for the Iowa Family Leader, Cain spent much of his time denouncing President Obama’s “failure of leadership,” and said the tipping point in his decision to run for president came when Obama signed legislation overhauling and reforming the health care system. Like fellow presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Cain seemed especially concerned with the length of the bill. After claiming that the administration had not read the bill, Cain promised the audience that as President, he would never sign pieces of legislation that are longer than three pages.

CAIN: Engage the people. Don’t try to pass a 2,700 page bill — and even they didn’t read it! You and I didn’t have time to read it. We’re too busy trying to live — send our kids to school. That’s why I am only going to allow small bills — three pages. You’ll have time to read that one over the dinner table. What does Herman Cain, President Cain talking about in this particular bill?
