Oh those racist Republicans are at it again.

A Republican black man who was a CEO in America? Imagine that! I can't wait to hear what the liberals think of Herman Cain....since he's former military man and a pastor too.

Herman Cain (born December 13, 1945) is an American businessman, politician, columnist, and radio host from Georgia. He is the former chairman and CEO of Godfather's Pizza and a former deputy chairman (1992–94) and chairman (1995–96) of the board of directors to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Before his business and economics career he worked as a mathematician in ballistics for the United States Navy.[2][3] Cain's newspaper column is distributed by North Star Writers Group. He lives in the Atlanta suburbs, where he also serves as a minister at Antioch Baptist Church North.

Cain was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on December 13, 1945, the son of Lenora (née Davis) and Luther Cain, Jr.[6][7] His mother was a cleaner and his father was a janitor, a barber, and a chauffeur.[3] He was raised in Georgia.[8] He graduated from Morehouse College in 1967 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and received a Master of Science degree in computer science from Purdue University in 1971,[9] while he was also working full-time in ballistics for the U.S. Department of the Navy.

Now compare his business, education and his family's background to Obama's.

My two biggest problems with him are they he favors "privatizing" Social Security and he also seems to think that Muslims are out to impose Sharia law in the U.S.

I'd rather see SS abolished altogether than "privatized" and the Sharia paranoia thing is just that. Paranoid. And paranoia is NOT a trait I want to see in the guy with his finger on the button.

I support privatizing Social Security by allowing the funds to be invested in the Treasury Bills or Zero Coupon Bonds. Why sell debt to China when Americans can finance our own debts?

I would support ownership of the Social Security funds so they could pass to the next generation for retirement use only. I don't support abolishing the social security program altogether.

I think disability and survivor payments should be administrated at the state level.

The Sharia law is not paranoia ... it's taking root in Muslim communities in the US.

Since Cain isn't a frontrunner, he hasn't taken the heat in the debates that the frontrunners have. Privatizing Social Security is one good example. Rick Perry also proposed it and look at all the heat he's taking for that. He's now been backing away from that at 100 MPH.

Another example is Cain's "9-9-9" plan. Usually a candidate is expected to show a study (usually from the CBO) showing just what income will the plan produce, and how it will cut or raise total taxes paid by taxpayers from different income groups. But I can't find anthing like that about it. In fact Mr. Cain is very secretive about where the ideas for his plan even comes from. If Cain were a frontrunner, he wouldn't be able to get away with this stuff.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is quick to discuss his economic plan. But he isn't saying just who helped him create it.

Cain calls it the 9-9-9 plan. It would set a corporate flat tax at 9 percent and a personal flat tax at 9 percent, and establish a 9 percent national sales tax. The payroll tax, the estate tax and the tax on capital gains would be eliminated.

He was asked on "Fox News Sunday" who helped him develop the plan. Cain said he isn't at liberty to identify anyone but the chairman of his economic advisers.

", Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman during an interview on CNN said members of the Tea Party are racists willing to do whatever they can to "get this black man" out of the White House."..................................................................................."I’m not offended by it, because it doesn’t slow down my momentum. It doesn’t slow down the reaction that I get from people. They know that I bring my message from the heart and the head, and they’re responding to it. So, name calling is something that’s going to continue in this because they don’t know how to stop this movement. And this movement is making a big difference in politics, because a lot of the traditional Democrats are moving to the center or moving over to vote for conservatives. They’re taking another look at a Herman Cain."

This might just mean that the hard core Republicans who vote in straw poles are still quite undecided. And I am fine with that, still way too early.

The Denver Post had an article today saying small donations are down for Obama right now. Well, at this time, four years ago, America didn't know who Obama was.

Gee, I guess those anonymous overseas internet donors aren't too happy with the 0.

I wonder how long it will take those connected with Obama Campaign to send over 100,000,000 - $ 200 Gift Card to India for the Indians to "make donations" anonymously to the campaign? 0 is not going to be getting anonymous donations from the middle east this go round. rofllol
