Barack Hussein is the first black to get elected to be President of the United States. He has proven to be in way over his head. I think the reason why the very accomplished and successful Hermain Cain is being ignored is the electorate does not want to make the same mistake again.
Hermain Cain has a resume that any employer would covet. Obama was elected with no experience or accomplishments. Even this time around Barack is the least experienced person running for the job and he has had a three year head start.
Only a rightie would even ask this question, nice try at diverting your real point with the second paragraph. One More Time, President Obama did not get elected Because he is black. Moderates and Liberals are not ignoring Cain but do not believe they won't vote for him simply because he is Black, their votes are not based on the color of ones skin, unlike some people here.
I mean executive , work, and business experience. Obama had none of it and may have ruined it for a real qualified black like Herman Cain. Without Obama's abortion of a term, Herman Cain would be leading by double digits and a shoo-in for the office.
Are you kidding me? You would not even know cain if Obama loses in 2008. Black candidates would still be the joke of the race like Jesse Jackson was. Cain should fall down on his knees and thank Obama for pulling up old black men like him where they would have never been allowed before the One.

Well, I guess that notion would only apply if you thought all black men looked alike, as well as thinking they have the same thought and decision making processes
But, then we've studied MLK and Malcolm X to know better
BTW, I agree with your assessment of Obama, but it has nothing to
do with the fact that he is part black...
But, I did wonder why Cain played it up though:
Herman Cain said that the media is scared "a real black man may run against Barack Obama."
In response to a question as to whether he could unseat Obama and become the second black president:
Cain said "voters a chance to be batting .500" with black presidents. "Get rid of him and elect me."
Since I've already voted for one black man running for high office, why would voting for another black man make any sort of difference?
My personal take on Cain, is that he's a typical go-getter CEO. He knows what's best, he knows what needs to happen, and you better not get in his way.
Compared to Obama who has no backbone, that may be refreshing to some, but I think going to the other extreme would be just as bad considering the extremely divided Congress we currently have.
We need someone like the fictional Obama we thought we voted for. You know, a leader.

I'm not certain why you assume Cain is being ignored. Heck, he gets more coverage than Ron Paul.
You are listening to the urban NY - DC elite media who is trying to convince you who is unelectable as they do every presidential election cycle in order to get you to support their choice from their area. The problem with Herman Cain is he's not a businessman from New York not his color.

I don't care if Obama had never had experience or not, I doubt this has much to do with peoples hesitation with Cain. Cain has never been elected to public office, not even mayor of his city. This has to be of concern to many. Will it keep me from supporting him? I don't know, I am still a Perry backer, but I will back the Republican nominee regardless of who he/she is. I just don't think you go from a upper middle class private sector person to becoming Pres of the USA overnight. In some ways he is more experienced that Obama, at least he has executive experience.

Actually, right now Obama has more executive experience than Bachmann, Santorum, Paul and Gingrich.
