After a failed 2004 run for U.S. Senate in Georgia, 2012 Republican Presidential hopeful and pizza CEO extraordinaire, Herman Cain, is ready to travel across the States to meet voters one-on-one.
In a March 13, 2011 Union Leader article, Herman was quoted:
"Now people are over this first black President thing," he said. "But there are some people who will say, 'I'm not going to vote for another black guy because this one didn't work out.'
"And my response is, 'Well, what about those 43 white guys you put in there? How did they work out?'
"Don't condemn me because the first black one was bad," Cain said with a smile.
.........................well, Mr. Cain, we now know you have this President thing down, you sure know how to put your foot in your mouth...just as well as some of our previous Presidents, who shall remain nameless... I would be equally as ignorant if I thought it necessary to comment further on this statement.
For more on Mr. Cain's background and his views on taxation and health insurance, take a look at the article. The Huffington Post also published an article here.
For those of you short on time, I will see if I can abbreviate Mr. Cain's background and road to the White House--Morehouse College (mathematics), worked as mathematician for Department of the Navy while earning a Master's (computer science) at Purdue, then worked for Coca-Cola, moved to Pillsbury to run Burger Kings, took over as Godfather's pizza CEO, now Atlanta radio talk show host...and he says he is "not done yet!"... next stop--President of the United States...."because the first Black one was bad"...
I am sure Mr. Cain is a fine gentleman, who probably can run a mean Burger King or Godfather's pizza company, and host a solid radio talk show- however, I think America may not be quite ready for that expertise in the White House.
