Yes, he clearly isn’t as skilled at installing radical muslim militants in key middle east countries as the current homo in chief is...

Alan Carruba thinks he’s the smartest guy who ever lived.

Well, one thing is certain, Caruba has been a prolific scribbler for many years. I enjoy his commentaries, and find myself in agreement more times than not. He has a point about Cain, how important it may be is debatable.

Caruba Bio:

Best known these days as a commentator on issues ranging from environmentalism to energy, immigration to Islam, Alan Caruba is the author of two recent books, "Right Answers: Separating Fact from Fantasy" and "Warning Signs" — both collections of his commentaries since 2000 and both published by Merril Press of Bellevue, Washington.

His commentaries are posted on many leading news and opinion websites, and frequently picked up and shared by blogs as well. Caruba has his own popular daily blog at http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com.

In addition to the Center, Caruba — a longtime book reviewer — also posts a monthly report on new fiction and non-fiction at http://www.bookviews.com. The site recommends around sixty books each month on topics that include history, biographies, health, business, parenting, books for children and younger readers, and new novels. Caruba is a founding member of the National Book Critics Circle.

Initially a fulltime journalist, Caruba is a veteran public relations counselor who is often asked by members of the news media to comment on news involving PR issues. A longtime member of the Society of Professional Journalists, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and the National Association of Science Writers, Caruba maintains an Internet site for his professional practice at http://www.caruba.com.

Caruba resides in the Gaslight Commons in South Orange, New Jersey. In his former career as a journalist, he was the editor of a weekly newspaper, the East Orange Record, and as a columnist and feature writer for the Morris County Daily Record. He has been a contributor to many consumer and trade magazines. These days, his writings can be found in a variety of newspapers as well as on the Internet.

I agree with the author.

Cain is not prepared for the office.

If you are looking for the smartest one in the room, it won’t be Rick Perry.

They will learn the hard way why deer may pick this area. Many sinkholes are in their future. I gave them permission to keep it to the edge of the property. It was rude and improper. I expect more discipline from a man with a rifle.

Seems someone who actually knows a few things about Foreign Policy gave everyone BUT Cain a failing grade in Foreign policies

Here is Henry Kissinger thoughts

Kissinger said all the candidates have contacted him but only Cain asked what to do on Foreign policy, all the rest asked Kissinger what they should SAY about it.

Leaders ask for ideas, managers ask for directions

You want leaders in the top slots, not managers

I agree with the author. Cain is not prepared for the office.

It's a fair assessment.

Just my opinion, but he is probably genuinely surprised by his current standing.

I think he was looking at the campaign as primarily a way to increase his name recognition, sell some books, and bump up his motivational speaking fees. Maybe even get a syndicated talk show or a TV gig.

He is, after all, an accomplished promoter first and foremost. Nothing wrong with that, as far as it goes.

You would be surprised how many 65 year old guys with firearms don’t use discipline.

I notice you are a Perry supporter.

Aren’t you disrupting a Cain thread or something?
