Keep in mind, I am honestly not a "cain hater" or someone who wants to tear down a candidate, just to make my own (and I don't really have one yet) look better.
I think Cain has an amazing life story, but it does leave me asking alot of questions.
Something to think about, Cain, cuts his own hair, he has been doing this since he was in the navy when in 1967, a black barbershop refused to cut his hair because of their white clientele, less then 3 decades later, he was the senior economic advisor to the senate majority leader on his white house run.
Think about that, a guy, who came from the worst life could toss him, winds up being the right hand man to the leader of the republican party establishment and its nominee for president, and on the most important category, and he wasn't even an economist. Thats fantastic, but its also something that is so unusual, that it begs for questions, starting with how ? How did a man rise from such humble beginnings, to become chairman of the K.C. board of directors of the federal reserve without ever having even worked in a bank ? (I've read his version of this, if I said it was vague, it would be an understatement). In his defense, Alan Greenspan has praised him and spoke glowingly of him, however, a big problem is, that Alan Greenspan has praised him and spoke glowingly of him (lol).
FWIW, I'm more of a sketic then a hater, and I like alot of things Cain said, but I do have alot of questions, not just about him, but about all the candidates (except Romney and Huntsman, I just want them gone, I don't care about anything else with them).
Have you read “This is Herman Cain?” I enjoyed it very much some months ago when it came out. It is a good read, and I lked Mr. Cain’s candor in writing it. Indeed he has lived the American Dream, and he wants everyone to be able to live it too.
I actually do not recall anything about his working on anyone else’s campaign.
I am not a hater either. I have been interested in politics and in how it affects my country for 60 years. I think it is up to each voter to educate themswelves on all candiates before selecting who to back. I began with Michelle Bachmann at the top of my list, then Rick Santorum, then Herman Cain. But as I got to know them, Herman Cain rose to the top, and there he has remained.
