Cain would not only defeat Obama electorally, but also the race-laden hopenchangery meme

Herman Cain

In recent weeks, we've all seen the video where Herman Cain completely destroys Clinton on healthcare (and if you haven't, you really should).

It's clear that Cain is better at explaining his ideas than any republican president since Reagan. Certainly better than Bush I or Bush II. And Cain is certainly a better debater than Clinton, which means Obama would not stand a chance.

The "Cain vs. Unable" slogan is cute. For astute watchers, it's also a little concerning though, as we all know how much the left would benefit from faking the death of Obama, a scenario which would insanely mirror the Bible story being referenced.

That issue withstanding, Cain is the best choice for republican presidential nominee for real definable reasons. We have an opportunity to defeat Obama not only electorally, but also to defeat the crazy hopey/changey/messiah/pharoah insanity that has been foisted upon us for the last three years.

That's not to say Rick Perry isn't a decent guy, and I'm sure someone could make some argument for him having marginally better credentials in some minor area. But we must realize that if we simply defeat Obama numerically, it will leave half of the country with a bone to knaw on for the next 8 years, and we will be back to the same cycle after that. Herman Cain gives us the opportunity to defeat the entire Obama meme, the value of which is immeasurable.

God bless Herman Cain. Let's hope he can pull it off.

Now that I’ve got Palin out of my system, I’m totally revved up about Cain! If he gets the nod, I’ll work tirelessly for him! I’ll donate large amounts of money! I did for Palin on ‘08. This would be a last chance in my opinion.

[MestaMachine]

I saw that and it is what changed my mind completely about Herman Cain. It’s as beautiful a takedown as I have ever seen.
When you can reduce bill clinton to a stutter, that is a monumental achievement.

[Vigilanteman]

I think the only thing which would ruin Herman Cain in a debate is to get him talking about the details of 9-9-9 or of the FAIR tax.

If you are well educated and well read on economics, he does a perfectly credible job. But that rules out the majority of the population.

[NoRedTape]

I’ve switched from Sarah to Cain. Bring it, Mr. Cain!

[SparkyBass]

[MrB]

In my opinion, he needs to stay away from details
and state his plan is to phase out the current tax code
to one which the politicians in Washington cannot manipulate
to the benefit of their cronies nor the detriment of their enemies.

Ping x 1000!

Herman Cain versus Bill Clinton

Herman Cain grew up in Atlanta, Georgia with loving parents and little else. His father worked three jobs—as a janitor, a barber and a chauffeur—and his mother was a domestic worker. Even though these jobs required hard work and little glamour, his parents knew this life was better than the dirt farms upon which they grew up. They also knew that this hard work was the key to achieving their American Dreams.

Herman’s parents had two dreams. First, they wanted to own their own house. Secondly, they wanted both of their children to graduate from college. During the segregation era in the Deep South, these aspirations might have seemed lofty, but they knew that if they kept their faith in God, faith in themselves and faith in the greatest country on the Earth, they could achieve.

The first dream was realized in a modest brick house on Albert Street in Atlanta, Georgia. After years of saving from his many jobs, Herman’s father surprised the whole family, even his wife, by purchasing a home for their family. The second dream was realized when Herman graduated from Morehouse College with a degree in mathematics in 1967. His brother, Thurman, would go on to graduate from Morris Brown College.

Inspired by the work ethic and character of his parents, Herman continued his education by earning his Master’s degree in computer science from Purdue University while working full-time developing fire control systems for ships and fighter planes for the Department of the Navy. Though Herman enjoyed using his talents as a civilian employee for the Navy, he gravitated towards the culture of business.

Herman returned to his home of Atlanta to begin working as a computer systems analyst for the Coca-Cola Company. After considerable success at Coca-Cola, he moved to the Pillsbury Company. Within a short period of time, Herman rose to position of Vice President. Although the comforts of a corner office on the 31st floor of a majestic corporate building seemed satisfying, Herman knew that he needed a challenge.

He became the regional vice president of Pillsbury’s Burger King division. This meant starting from the “ground up,” dodging grease fires and broiling hamburgers. Herman was assigned to lead a low performing region of 450 of their restaurants. Within three years, it became the best performing region in the company.

Energized by overcoming the many obstacles of his job at Burger King, Herman took on the biggest challenge of his career. He accepted the call to become the President and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, a company that was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In just 14 months, Herman returned Godfather’s to profitability and he led his management team to a buyout of the company.

His professional successes garnered the respect and admiration of industry peers who named him the President of the National Restaurant Association. Under Herman’s administration, the group grew significantly and began to lobby for the interests of America’s restaurateurs and small business owners.

In 1994, as head of the National Restaurant Association, he had the opportunity to speak with President Clinton during a nationally televised town hall meeting. Here, Herman challenged the President regarding the impact on businesses if his health care overhaul proposal were passed. President Clinton attempted to assure him and the millions of viewers watching at home that his legislation would not harm American business owners and their employees.

Herman was skeptical. “Quite honestly Mr. President, your calculations are incorrect,” he said. “In the competitive marketplace, it simply doesn’t work that way.” His words echoed across America, and Newsweek named Herman Cain the primary saboteur of Hillarycare.

Through these and other appearances on behalf of the National Restaurant Association, Herman began working with business leaders across all sectors of the American economy. This led to his acceptance of a position on the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and he was subsequently elected their chairman. In this role, he analyzed economic conditions in the region and notified the Federal Reserve of how their policies should respond.

Most recently, he hosted a radio talk show, “The Herman Cain Show,” on Atlanta’s WSB 750 AM/ 95.5 FM. He serves as a regular contributor on several broadcast networks and as a keynote speaker at conferences and events around the nation.

Despite the many professional commitments of his life, Herman continues to enjoy most the time spent with family and friends. As his children got married and had their own children, he knew that he had an extraordinary obligation to do what he could to make this a safe and prosperous nation for them. The paramount joys in his life are his wife, Gloria, his children and his grandchildren.

Now I highlighted and underline Herman's working at the Fed to meet a promise that I made to many of the Paulist on FR. Herman was not a member of the Board of Governors which sets monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City is more or less a bank for banks and what they do is provide financial services to depository institutions including banks, credit unions, and savings and loans, much like those that banks provide for their customers. These services include collecting checks, electronically transferring funds, and distributing and receiving cash and coin.

I know that sounds so very ominous.

Think if Cain can do that to fast on his feet ‘Slick Willy’ what do you think he would do to ‘Bama’ and the TOTUS? ;-)

[Marie]

I got a call from Cain’s camp asking for another donation.

I said, “I already gave everything that I had for the month! I signed up to be a monthly donor. I’ve bought t-shirts and put up my yard sign. I’ve given all that I can and I’m going to give some more!

“Tell Mr. Cain that he had me at ‘tax reform’!” lol!

[Kartographer]

In fact I almost bet that if Cain gets the nod and ‘Bama’ stays in that there will be no 2012 Presidential Debates.

[bigbob]

“Cain is better at explaining his ideas than any republican president since Reagan”

Exactly right. After watching Mr. Cain’s performance in the last debate, I was almost relieved to hear that Sarah Palin would not be running, despite that having been my strongest wish for a long time. He was clear and succinct in his answers, and his ideas are far and away more understandable and common-sensical than anything from the other candidates. I have also been impressed with Newt’s ideas, and while I’d never see Newt as POTUS, he might be a damned good VP.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Cain has some rough edges, but that’s infinitely preferable to the cactus enema that is Obama.

Cain-Bachmann 2012???

[Mr. K]

Now that Sarah broke my heart the only way she can make it up to me is to endorse Cain

We need to pick a black man to cover up our racism, don’t you know

[manic4organic]

One of my clients said that exact thing today.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

HA!!!!

[HiTech RedNeck]

After the way she stuck her neck out concerning “crony capitalism” that sure does not sound like she is planning to give Perry or Romney the nod. Will the King-Maker of Wasilla point to Cain?

[FromTheSidelines]

Palin will support whomever the GOP selects. She won’t make a primary endorsement, and will wait until a candidate is selected, and she’ll get 100% behind that person.

So we just need to make sure it’s Cain...
