And here is his running mate;)

I really do like Newt’s mind and his ability to formulate policy measures that make sense. He comes with a lot of baggage, but he would make a good VP. He knows how to get things done in the swamp known as Congress.
BLITZER: One final question. Give me a yes or a no. If one of the other Republican candidates gets the nomination and asks you to be the vice presidential running mate, is it a yes from you or a no?
GINGRICH: Well, it wouldn’t be a no.
Now that would be the ticket! Newt would give the Cain ticket the experience it lacks in certain areas and Cain could keep Newt in line!
I love that Hermann Cain said, “If you’re not rich blame yourself!” That’s the sort of mantra I grew up with in my house. I’m from a lower middle class family and lived my childhood in Oakland, Ca. I’m white and went to mostly black schools. Before I go further, I grew up with great friends, and have absolutely no complaints about my community.
Anyway, when I was growing up in the late 70’s and early 80’s I was peppered with quotes from my favorite uncle who said things like:
“In life you make excuses or you make progress!”
“In life, you’re going to find what you’re looking for. If you look for happiness you’ll find it but, if you look for mysery you’ll find that, too.”
“You don’t tell people how good you are, you show them.”
“If you are really that good, you won’t have to tell people, they’ll tell you.”
“There’s nothing to anything but, do it”
“The more people whinning and complaining about the system, the fewer people you have to compete with for the next job that comes up.”
Anyway, you get the point. There was no excuse making in my family. As a result, I worked myself through college (75 hour work weeks and no sleep some nights) and I made it. I thank god I had such a wonderful uncle instead of Barack Obama as my mentor.
My kids are both high school age, now. We look at the occupy Wall Street crowd and I tell them, “Guys, it’s tough in the world but, the bigger this crowd gets, the fewer people you’ll have to compete with for a job.
