More than any other candidate running, or reportedly thinking of running, Cain has the Reagan-like ability to inspire people with the belief that the American dream is still possible. This is the single most important quality in a leader. I see problems with Cain’s lack of foreign policy experience, and strongly disagree with notion that a plan for the WOT must wait until after he gets elected, but still see in him the one with the most leadership potential. He appears to be a quick learner, so I hope he can smooth over some of those rough spots.
“I see problems with Cain’s lack of foreign policy experience...”
As I’ve said before, with Obama in the WH, experience is not an issue anymore.

Who running doesn’t have problem with foreign policy experience?
Romney?
Pawlenty?
Palin?
Perry?
If were going to make being a foreign policy expert a requirement for running for president, then we’d have to eliminate 90% of the GOP field.
The question we should be asking is do they have good foreign policy instincts. There will always be some foreign policy event that occurs that nobody was ready for. The question is how will the president’s instincts lead him?
We know Obama’s instincts are appeasement, follow the UN’s lead, and apologise for it being America’s fault. I’m sure anybody in the race will be an upgrade from that.
