Al Sharpton said the other day that Herman Cain is not a real African-American, a little slander that the nasty left took up with its usual sadistic glee. But Herman Cain is one of the few real African-Americans in politics today. Cain has his roots in the core American and African-American experience over the centuries. Cain is real.
Obama has no roots. He can't be blamed for the fact that he's a Hawaiian-Indonesian-Kenyan-college campus blend. Obama has rarely (if ever) even lived in a black neighborhood. The white half of his family comes from Kansas and the black half comes straight from Kenya. Obama's only consistency in life has been the radical left, which is where his real loyalties seem to lie. Herman Cain has real roots, not ghostwritten, made-up, far-left fantasies.
There's a reason why Obama called his autobiography Dreams from My Father. In his adult life Obama never met his Kenyan father; Obama Sr. is a pure fantasy object in Obama's life. He met him only once as a child. All he has is dreams.
You can feel Cain's realness in your bones. You don't even have to look at his spectacular resume. He's a guy we could be proud of at the helm of state. His very being and achievements are an answer to all the left's phony moaning about this country. What the left hates about this country is its spectacular success, not its times of failure.
We'll have plenty of opportunity to debate Cain's political positions, his 9-9-9 proposal (it's not a fixed plan yet, certainly not legislation, but it's a clear signal of his political philosophy, which is what we can look for at this point in the race).

You’re so wrong. Why don’t you read his full statement?
It’s posted by trisham, right below your comment to freekitty.
LOLOL!
Nice job of preemption.
Thank you onyx. They only use African, Hispanic American or whatever to further racial discord. It’s so silly. I don’t give a hoot if they are pink with purple polka dots. Are they American and can they lead this country in the right direction?
Cain: I prefer Black American:
“I prefer black American,” Cain told NBC’s Meet the Press. “My roots go back through slavery in this country. Yes, they came from Africa, but the roots of my heritage are in the United States of America. So I consider myself a black American.”This is the quote I was referencing; he doesn't like being called an "African-American", he said he considered himself a "black American".
So who cares that some otehr time he said something different. Or are we only allowed to use the quotes YOU like?
Yep. They are ready.
You like to nitpick and always disagree with posters, so I like to take it you.
I don’t always disagree. But I didn’t think quoting Cain would be disagreeable. It’s been a while since I got attacked for using the wrong quote from a candidate.
