Republican president candidate Herman Cain today called out President Obama on the debt ceiling fight, accusing the Democrat of using the situation to demand more taxes and more spending to meet his own desires.
During an appearance on the Steve Gill Show, Cain, the former chief of Godfather's Pizza, said Republican congressional leaders should ignore Obama's "scare tactics" about hurting "old people, children and puppy dogs."
He called for Republicans to oppose raising the debt ceiling, a goal shared by the "No More Red Ink" campaign that explains House Republicans have it within their grasp simply to not raise the debt ceiling and thereby require the federal government to slash spending and start living within its income.

Thank you.
The problem for Herman is name recognition. He has given good interviews, Gallup still has him high...he will be fine
Ping!
In other HC news:
Mr. Cain had several great interviews this week, including an hour special with John Stossell last night. His appearances in TN went well, I hear there were some large crowds there.
Herman Cain gear is now available at: store.hermancain.com, with proceeds going to the campaign.

(PS this is an older ping list as I am away from my home computer. Sorry if I left anyone out..)
Can you give me a link to Herman’s appearance on Stossel? That’s if you have it, as I don’t get Fox Business Channel. Thanks! And thanks also for all your great HC updates.
Will do!

July 15, 2011 (CHICAGO) — A liberal group upset over potential cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security is threatening to pull their support from President Barack Obama.
The group, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, says it will deliver 200,000 signatures to Obama’s campaign headquarters in Chicago on Friday. They say they’re from people who are refusing to donate or volunteer for his re-election campaign if Obama cuts the entitlement programs.
Here is the Stossel interview and pseudo Cain vs. Obama debate - http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1056264160001/cain-vs-obama/.
Thanks so much :-))))))
