LAS VEGAS—President Obama and Congressional leaders are showing a lack of leadership and "common sense" in addressing various crises now facing the country, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain told attendees at the FreedomFest conference here.

The crises involve economics, spending, energy, immigration, moral issues and a "foggy foreign policy," Cain said. But the biggest failing is "leadership," he added.
