I like Cain, too, but to say he used his expertise in mathematics to expose Obama’s “plan” is disingenuous, if not plain wishful thinking.

Read his response. Cain says he has a degree in mathematics (which nicely juxtaposes against Obama’s claim that his “plan” is all about the math), but then he scores Obama’s “plan” on NON-MATHEMATICAL grounds.

Here’s the real reason Obama’s tax increase scenario must be rejected: increased tax revenue will NOT be used to reduce the deficit or the debt; it will simply result in even more government intrusion.

"I like Cain, too, but to say he used his expertise in mathematics to expose Obama’s “plan” is disingenuous, if not plain wishful thinking."


That is not what the article is claiming. Here is what it said about his reference to his math background: "Cain seized upon those words and cited his degree in mathemathics and how he applied that degree throughout his career at the Department of the Navy and in the private sector." It also talked about how Cain contrasted Obama's ignorance in math and economics with his own expertise in the subjects.
