An amazing man indeed. I get so tired of the pizza guy jokes from the left and even from some on the right supporting other names.
Herman Cain brings extraordinary credentials to his candidacy for U.S. President.

Herman Cain bio:
Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
Master’s degree in Computer Science.
Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!
Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side. Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!
Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country).
This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system. After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century
An amazing man indeed. I get so tired of the pizza guy jokes from the left and even from some on the right supporting other names.
I TOTALLY AGREE! I’ve had it with the pizza jokes. I’d like to see what they’ve done with their lives ... not much in my opinion!
He doesn’t just talk the talk he walks the walk! He has quit a record to stand on. In fact I can’t think another single current or possible candidate4 can hold a candle to him. Like Reagan, on the points he is not expert on he knows just how to delegate those departments to able people. Aren’t you sick to death of career politicians? I certainly am! We should weed out anyone in Congress who has been there more than three House terms, and two Senate terms, with little or no pensions or special benefits. Herman Cain has the experience to know how to bring a company up to par, so why not a country? Of course big money is scrambling to get their man in there. Maybe Pillsbury will help Herman Cain’s campaign!
Well it does take a rocket scientist to be running for the president. A community organizer experience is enough!
Oh, but wait a minute, Cain actually worked for US Army as a rocket scientist!

Actually Mt Cain needs to come at the pizza jokes with something like “when you call for pizza it get’s delivered doesn’t it?”
They are afraid of Cain because they know he will deliver !!
