I'd give anything to have a conservative version of Obama as president. The issue of our time isn't competence. The issue is ideology. Obama is a left-wing ideologue who has been widely successful at implementing his ideology - which is to expand government.
If we had a conservative President who was just half as successful as Obama in implementing conservative ideas, then our country would be in 7th heaven.
The issue of our time is PRECISELY competence. We do not need another on the job trainee. I do not want to see another STUTTERing incompetent in office, and Cain just prove that is who he is. Suspected so from the 1st debate, but now this bungled mess he just uttered.
Does anyone know what he has said, after he has said it, but wait until he retracts the first, then you will know what he really meant to say, if they had just given him more time to collect his thoughts, or something like that.
3 a.m. phone call to President Cain: UH! Hold on Mr. Abajdidddddajohn, be right back with ya.
Say What? Huh! hold on a sec. , or two.
No! I meant to say, Uh, you what? Now don't be so hasty, I got to think about this, have you heard about my 9-9-9 deal? Ok, call ya back in a few.
In the real world, competence trumps ideology. Look how the soviets ideology worked?
