Do you know Herman Cain?

Bio on Herman Cain:

Herman Cain is running for president. He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.Here’s his 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.

Cain's a decent guy. His economics credentials are spotless but he has little experience with the political finesse and savage infighting that the Big Chair may frequently require. Conventional wisdom holds that a candidate needs at least some of the political log-rolling and legislative skills conferred by previous elective office. I'm unimpressed by that argument considering the thundering (and relentlessly blundering) ideologically blinkered economic naivete' of the current chair occupant who had much more political experience than Cain before his election. Let's try it the other way around next time. Ol' Herm may not possess a penchant for Churchhillian class oratory but the touted ringing rhetorical fabulosity of the O-Man turned out to be way overrated--completely illusory really. Four major circumstances redound to Cain's benefit. He actually is smart rather than merely being alleged so, he's seriously economically savvy, he's not Obama, and he's not Mitt Romney.

Also there is some seriously delicious irony in Cain being one of the favorites of the supposedly racist Tea Party. A less racist group is difficult to imagine. If a candidate were a black gay 400 pound female who spray painted her face lime green and liked to walk around with her hair on fire and by some miracle was a solid constitutional conservative then she'd get wildly more Tea party support than the whitest shiniest smoothest talkin' and country-clubiest lookin' liberal that ever walked. The really real test of color-blindness in the country's political life would be the election of a staunch black conservative such as Cain. Jeremiah Wright notwithstanding the vast majority of black church pulpits are un-thrilled with the rampant social liberalism of the Dem. party and a Cain candidacy might please that cohort tremendously thus giving him a real shot at breaking the stranglehold that the Dems. have had on the black vote for 50 years. This particular and heretofore "safe" Democratic block vote might fracture into something resembling current country-wide political divisions.

Plus all that it would just be plain fun to watch Progressive political operatives tie themselves in knots trying to paint Cain as an Uncle Tom who's beholden to the entrenched power structure. As an extremely successful businessman he's not beholden to that power structure because he is part of it. Already the cracks have started to come smearing Cain as a Tom and even more vilely as a "plantation house n****r". So predictable but by appearances so far Cain can take such vitriol in stride. Black, a good speaker, business friendly, a social conservative, and in general a seemingly nice and interesting guy, it baffles me why the GOP would not want him at the top of the ticket. Better the likes of him than the oily Romney or the capable but confusing Perry.

This guy is pretty damn cool... I don't know about his political views - but he seems like a nice chap!

[sgreger1]

Here I am! Rocking like a Herman Caine!


I dunno, he seems like a very decent candidate but he has his own craziness. At least he's a straigh-talker, which I respect.

To be fair ; I'm a straight-talker.. And the last you would want is me as your president
Although - It would probably be fairly amusing for you guys to watch me doing a presidential speech with snus in my mouth and horrid language coming out of it

He was my first choice when he got in, however after reading two of his articles I started doubting that choice and have since come to the conclusion that I can't vote for him.

Here are his own articles:

Yeah his support of the banks and the federal reserve is scary to say the least.
