Yeah what you said!

Ah, yes, the "fear/jealousy" angle. When all else fails, accuse the other side of it.

It's a different skill set. If you can't understand that, you're sunk.

Running the federal government is not the same as running a chain of pizza parlors! There's this pesky little group called "voters" who will oppose you at every opportunity as pres. As a pizza chain manager, your word is final. Period.
Oh and one other thing Cain NOT being a POLITICIAN is Most appealing. Cain speaks like REAL people speak in America. He does not feel he is above "the people" like the obamas do.

That is always what they seem to say. Democrats are so afraid of the Republican candidates. What Democrats are afraid of is a viable Republcan candidate. No cause for fear so far.

a chief executive, is a chief executive. it doesnt matter if they ran godfathers pizza, boeing aircraft, general motors, general electric, or any other large company. the skill set is virtually the same. you still have to deal with people, and you still have to pick the right people that can get the job done. and you still have to build coalitions to be able to properly implement your policies.

How do real people speak?? What does that even mean? I don't want the President of the U.S. to be a man of the people. I want him to be a man for the people. There is a big difference.

I disagree. The govt. is not a business and politics in the govt. is quite different from politics in a company.
