Cain, in his video, repeatedly talked about how great the private sector is. It was a business motivational talk. For people who buy into the private sector 100%, that's fine. But most Americans have reservations about it- and temper their enthusiasm with capitalism with a need for some regulation and punishment for corporate chieftans. It was a speech that would get fortune 100 executives on their feet but leave the average American working family empty. It didn't discuss their concerns about creating jobs, defending the nation, and shoring up social security. That is a fatal mistake. I share Cain's view and would love to have a cheerleader for capitalism elected. But he hasn't gained an appreciation for what ordinary Americans want to hear from politicians.
