Looking back at American history, Herman Cain has a lot in common with George Washington. Washington never really wanted, nor actively sought out the top military leadership role in our fight and war for independence from Great Britain.
He was, like all of us a flawed man, to a degree, with many mistakes, shortcomings and failings in both his personal and military life. Brash actions in conflicts, a French diplomat killed while on diplomatic mission, witnessing the death of his sixteen year old step daughter in his arms, all served to mold and form Washington into the future great leader he became.
Upon receiving the top command, he continued to be haunted by this trail of stumbles throughout the campaigns and battles of Revolutionary War. But……little by little, bit by bit, miscue after miscue, mistake after mistake, Mr. Washington through experience and leadership, developed into, both a mature and wise leader of, first the Continental army, and later the nation itself.
And…..as a leader who often sought the advice of others, he wisely heeded the counsel of his French allies to engage the British army at Yorktown, Virginia, rather then New York, where he had previously been beaten badly by the British enemy…
And yes, like all great men and women, he effectively learned to choose a team of subordinates that were able and vastly capable of supporting him, in battle, in administration and wise counsel…
Such a man was George Washington, the man, the war leader, the first President …..of America. And as the work in progress continues and America has an opportunity to bring a man to the fore that will forge us all into one nation with equality, freedom and liberty for all citizens.
Such a man is Herman Cain.

Perfect example of why Cain should be President. First of all he has values and principles that are conservative. I hope that FREEPERS wake up and stop supporting the liberal Republicans like Perry, Romney and Newt. It is disgusting.
Looks like someone took an old Palin worship sheet and plugged in Cain’s name. I just ate lunch too.
Yeah I am waiting for “the most brilliant political mind in the history of American politics.”

The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
Oh brother...
herman cain is a very intelligent guy.
at the moment many are infatuated by newt’s dazzle.
but newt will stumble—big.
that’s his history.
Washington? Really?
Good grief... I wouldn’t say that about RR.
Or anyone else. EVER.
Go read a history book, Champ. Seriously.
It is debatable that Cain has chosen a wise team of council.
His performance on Letterman last night was very Washingtonian.
I like Herman Cain, but I have a hard time concentrating on what he is saying when he is licking his lips and blinking his eyes so much. I know to everyone here it is a small thing, but drives me nuts to watch and I’m sure it would affect other voters the same way. Flame away!
not to worry,
your romney will make you puke in a moment.
And I'm a Cain supporter...but this is...come on now!
I’m not sure it is a good idea to put Cain’s name in the same sentence as “employee molesterman”.
Actually take your own advice. Seriously your total ignorance of Washington is inexcusable
The complete ignorance of George Washington you display is simply inexcusable.
Find it amusing that the most pompously arrogant posters on this thread are also the ones demonstrating an almost complete ignorance of anything but a most superficial understanding of American history
I have never seen a more pathetic piece of propaganda in my life. Herman Cain is not even close to George Washington.
Absolutely ridiculous!
