Does the CEO of a company run the marketing, IT, shipping, accounting departments? You think the head of the EPA Obama put there is an expert? Maybe in global warming lunacy but that's about it. You think Vilsak is some expert on the DOA? Because he was gove or Iowa? No he's an idiot monsanto shill. I could go on.
And the previous president stacked the deck with corporate shills. Andf those shills thought they were experts in their chosen fields.

But in your original post, you suggested that you hoped that Cain would appoint experts who didn't think they knew everything. That would make them something less than expert.

So this thread is a attempt to make those protesting wallstreet as being looney and stupid and greedy? Yes, you can find examples that will make the protesters look that way if your agenda is to bring down the protests. Some on the extreme left attempt the same thing with tea party protests, trying to paint them as racist for example.

But if you are going to side with your supposed team, in this case the conservative side, and try to say that all the super elite in control of banks and corporations are there and getting richer by honest hard work and that politicians tied to them are out for America's best interests then I think you are wrong. And those that are protesting wallstreet for that, I support. Doesn't mean I support a fringe communist party showing up at the rallies or someone who made a bad choice in college.

If you don't have a job and you're not rich, it's your fault.

Let them eat cake and all that.......

This country has gone straight to hell.
Doesn't the right always blame illegal immigrants for their problems. Don't they blame minorities for their lack of success. How many times have you heard some right winger claim that he didn't get a job or advanced because a minority got it instead.

More tea party hypocrisy

Don't they blame Obama for the lack of jobs

What would you call the head of GE now obama's new buddy? The folks appointed at the treasury all from Goldman? Corporat non shills? Out for the good will of the commoners?

Cain has some support and getting some media attention which is what is needed to make a run. Palin out now so it's Romney against whoever. Romney has always been the chosen one by the entrenched ruling class so he will most likely be the nominee. Funny how things work out that way.

I like Herman Cain, but he is too far off the mark on this one. People aren't against the rich, they are against the current way that income is being distributed. It has moreso to do with manipulation (or rigging) of the system than it does with actual 'hard work.'

Because having $$ validates his opinion? If someone feels like they have been disenfranchised and not happy with a broad stroke 'how things are working', you invalidate them. You're not contributing to the problem at all
