DescriptionYou know Pokémon, right? The cute, Furby-like creatures have been amazingly popular in video games, television and movies for more than a decade. Now, it seems the little monsters, having already conquered these venues, are working their way onto the American political stage.

At the end of last night’s debate, while issuing his final comments, Herman Cain told the crowd the following:

“A poet once said, ‘life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it’s never easy when there’s so much on the line.’”

Surely, there is wisdom in these words. Is life a challenge? Sure, sometimes. Can it seem impossible? Absolutely. But, as Daily Intel looked further into Cain’s words, a bizarre realization emerged: Not only is there apparently no poem that includes these inspiring lines, but the words, strung together in exactly the same way, appear to come directly from Donna Summer’s song, “The Power of One.”

According to Mediaite, this tune, which undisputedly includes these words, was used in the film, Pokémon: the Movie 2000.
