If elected president, Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain said Wednesday his top three priorities will be national security, the economy and energy independence.
Cain spoke to close to 500 people, who attended the half-hour rally at the Palm Beach County Convention Center.
Following the rally, Cain attended a private fundraiser at the Palm Beach home of Town Council President David Rosow. Tickets to that event were $999 to hear him speak and $2,500 to have a private meeting and a photo with him.
Although the event was scheduled for 5 p.m., Cain took the stage at 6:10 p.m.
“We are America, you and me,” Cain said. “Not the people in Washington, D.C. ... We’ve got to abolish Obamacare. We’ve got to abolish the Dodd-Frank bill. ... so we’ve got some abolishing to do.”
Cain said the country, under President Barack Obama, has become a nation of crises. If elected, Cain said, he would approach the presidency like a businessman: making sure he’s working on the right problems, prioritizing the problems and surrounding himself with good people. Above all, he said, you have to make sure you’re working on the right problems.
The economy is “on life support,” he said. “The economy needs a bold solution. This administration does not understand a fundamental economic principle. The engine of the economic growth is the business sector.”
Cain said he would throw out the current tax code and ask Congress to pass his plan — as the crowd shouted “999.” Cain said analysis has shown his plan would raise at least the same amount of revenue if not more and will “boost the economy and get it going.”
If elected, Cain said, more than 50 percent of his top appointees will be from the business community “because they know how to solve problems.”
Ping!
Bump!
Try telling it to the brain-damaged crowd at OWS, or the brain-damaged media, or the brain-damaged liberals in all political parties.
Private enterprise is anathema to the Marxists in power, and if Obama wins a second term, the United States will soon rate its per capita economic wherewithal on a par with the nations of Eastern Europe or the less successful EU countries.
Eventually, of course, as the Marxist python slowly squeezes the life out of us, we’ll come to envy Cuba and Venezuela.
Wow a positive article about Cain! Are pigs flying?

No! Public Sector spending is engine for economic growth. Ask any college professor, government employee or union member. /s
Let no one derail the Cain Train !
Or the brain-damaged RINOs.
There is no other GOP that generates this level of enthusiasm on the campaign trail. This is critical factor which gives Cain a big edge.
Finally, someone sees it the way I do. Yes Cain is falling, but when push comes to shove, I think he will win because of the enthusiasm. It isn’t a popular idea here, but it is one that I think is true. If Cain gets back on message, his personality will carry him through. But, a question, how do you see only 500 people as a big level of enthusiasm? I wasn’t there, so just wanting to know if you know something I don’t! Good post.
It will all come down to local primaries.

Well, maybe the fact that it cost a grand for a ticket to get in and $2,500 for a pix with Herman and they raised over $600,000 makes it an event that is small in numbers but high in cash produced.
Wow, really? That is a huge number. Were you there or where could I get info on this? I am with you...Cain will win...we will just let it play out.
