Will Cain be the new Ronald Reagan?
Reagan's dead. You guys really need to move on.

I know. The fact that this bigot is rising in popularity says a lot about a certain large segment of the GOP.

A snapshot of Barack Obama:

* Son of far left-wing Political Activists. (Records available consist of confirmed 'Fraudulent Long Form Birth Certificate, and Purloined SSN.)
* Extensive history of association with left-wing extremists.
* Attended Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law. (NO public records of any description available to confirm scholastic achievement.)
* Employed as ACORN Community Activist.
* In collaboration with William Ayers published two biographical books aggrandizing his personal image of himself.
* Zero public sector experience, this mean NOTHING !
* Served in the Illinois Senate where his only noteworthy endeavor was his impassioned defense of the infanticide of children who had survived a blotched abortion.
* Elected to the US Senate after exposing his favored opponent for alleged marital indiscretions.
* Non-existent accomplishments as a US Senator, where he initiated his teleprompter campaign for the presidency after a BRIEF few months in office.
* Zero Executive experience prior to his entry to the White House
* Total absence of executive skills painfully evident in the 'Obama Jobs Depression' created by his destructive policies as president.
* Solyndra and LightSquared are but the 'Tip of the Corrupt Iceberg' unraveling in the Obama Administration.
* Repeatedly demonstrates a pro-socialism
* In an attempt to obfuscate his miserably failed record, pursuit of every divisive tactic imaginable to fracture his opposition.
* --- Barack Obama, undeniably, is the most incompetent American tragedy ever to pursue the presidency of the United States !

For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

■Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).


■Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.


■VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation). All achieved before reaching the age of 35. When he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!


■ Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.


■Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.


■In 1988, he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again, he reached the top of the ladder –– of another industry.


■He was also Chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side. Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!


■Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.


■Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system. After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!


■Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.


■Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country). He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—
Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.


ONE MISSING QUALIFICATION: He's never been a Community Organizer.


Government experience? Or is he hoping for on-the-job training?

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

I know right? Thanks for the reply, I have posted a couple of those vids a few times and it seems with rare exception - people just pass over them and / or don't acknowledge anything he says.

And as you infer, if a large part of the GOP is ok with it ... It just reflects poorly no matter how you look at.

We already have someone with government experience.

We need someone with leadership experience.

Cain Sounds like a Tea Party version of Jimmy Carter. Successful businessman high achiever , Naval Mathematician. So far there is nothing in Cains resume that proves he can govern, Ordering people around is not Governing. If we can get Alan Keyes to run against them both we can have a real kum-ba-ya moment for all three parties.

His experience subsumes government experience. The mainstream public isn't interested in electing politicians. Maybe in the 90's when the economy was strong. Not today. Get with the 21st century.
