That's odd, we've had a pathological liar in the white house for what? 5 going in 6 years now. I don't think he's drawn one honest breath since he started hanging out with Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and the like.

There's several pages so keep clicking at the bottom of the page and be patient it takes a while to read them all. Maybe take a lazy Sunday afternoon when the house is quiet.

If you don't like this site just google "list of Obama lies" there's a lot to choose from.

I hate these hypothetical topics!
What if? Can always be spun a gazillion different ways that leave no one satisfied.

The fact is: Herman Cain didn't make it through the try-outs. Neither did Donald Trump, Rick Perry, Jon Huntsman, or Michele Bachmann. None got as far as the second string.

There are always a large bunch of candidates at the start of every Presidential election, and the most unqualified almost always are the first to be weeded out. There was nothing exceptional in this about Herman. He was just a brief flash in the pan, and wasn't even the brightest flash.

Has he made any lingering splash on our body politic? Nope. He is just a minor footnote in history, and has joined a thousand others who sank without leaving a ripple.

Cain was never a serious candidate. He was the king comic of the GOP stable of clown candidates. It's a waste of time to even consider a serious answer to your question.

Reagan's economic policies were not "destructive." Just the opposite.

If Herman Cain was elected president, he would say: "let them eat pizza" (if they have no bred)...

What makes you think anything would be substantially different? Personally, I've been doing well no matter who is President at the time. From a practical standpoint, my observation is they are generally all the same.

[sometimes I wonder why I vote...]

A Cain talking point would be " I keep saying 9 9 9 and congress keeps saying no no no "

Is this the opposite of destructive to you: 1).The deficit exploded. 2).Public debt was increased substantially. 3).The income gap grew exponentially.

But I suppose Reagan should be thanked to some degree. Because of him, an entire school of economic thought was virtually discredited at every objective level of research and academia.
