RE: Herman Cain has the INTEGRITY needed to LEAD.

What’s important is, unlike Obama, who was a Community Organizer, Cain has a record of TURNING AROUND failing businesses and making them profitable.

even with his Master’s Degree from a top Engineering School ( Purdue ), He never had a sense of entitlement at all and was willing to work his way to the top.

Herman Cain worked for Pillsbury’s restaurant division, and after completing a nine-month management training program where he donned a nametag, cleaned bathrooms, and flipped burgers, was assigned the task of leading a region of 450 low-performing Burger King outlets. He transformed that regional operation into the company’s best performing region in the course of three years.

Longing for yet more professional challenges, Herman Cain moved on to the ailing Godfather’s Pizza chain as President and CEO where he redirected the chain, preventing their financial demise. As a result of his leadership, the Godfather’s Pizza chain is enjoying continued success with hundreds of restaurants still in operation today. In these two instances, Herman Cain has been responsible for preventing the job loss of thousands of American workers. Mr. Cain was invited to join the Board of Directors of the National Restaurant Association and in 1994 was elected their Chairman. Subsequent to that term of service, the National Restaurant Association in 1996 retained Mr. Cain as fulltime President and CEO, where his professional skills and talents benefited thousands of small businesses and individual entrepreneurs.

As a result of his executive position with the Nation Restaurant Association in 1994, during a nationally televised town hall meeting with then-President Bill Clinton promoting his proposed health care overhaul, Mr. Cain had the opportunity to challenge the President as to the resultant impact on businesses if such an overhaul were passed. The President’s response to Mr. Cain was an attempt to reassure those present and the millions in the television audience that the proposal was sound and would not bring harm to American businesses or their employees. Undeterred in the face of immense political power and before the millions of viewers, Herman Cain stood his ground with the rebuttal, “Quite honestly Mr. President, your calculations are incorrect. In the competitive marketplace, it simply doesn’t work that way.”

To be honest the only "pitfall" for Cain to beware of, that I see, is not to allow his handlers to use "TOO MUCH SELL & NOT ENOUGH BUY".

Cain is VERY effective just talking through his solutions as he did in the SC debate. If he stays focused on the issues by offering his solutions, he'll stand out STRONGLY to MOST people. My point: Don't dissipate the stature that is already there with that OVERDONE effort that campaign teams usually push at the public trying to convince the public of way too many things that, in the end, are irrelevant to his obvious LEADERSHIP stature.

Cain's knowledge and LEADERSHIP ability comes across in his on-camera presence. He comes across as "The Man with the PLAN" and somehow you already know that he's quite capable of getting things done.

Comparing CAIN to Obama is very similar to comparing the acting skills and levels of an ANTHONY HOPKINS as opposed to EDDIE MUNSTER.
