Is this man Obama's worst nightmare?
World Net Daily ^ | July 21, 2010 | Chelsea Schiling

He could be President Obama's worst nightmare – a business mastermind, a natural problem solver and a black man of "substance" who says he would "take the race card off the table" in a challenge against Obama as the GOP presidential candidate in 2012.

Has Obama met his match?

"We need a realistic candidate to run on the Republican ticket who can beat Barack Obama – not just beat the Democrats," Herman Cain, an Atlanta radio talk-show host, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and 2004 Senate seeker, told WND. "We've also got to beat Barack Obama."

He added, "Obama is a master of rhetoric. He is a master of deceptive language. And any white candidate who runs against him will be up against the race card. I take the race card off the table."

Cain, a devout Christian, emphasized he is "prayerfully considering" a 2012 bid for the GOP nomination.

His supporters have launched a "Draft Herman Cain for President 2012" effort to develop teams of volunteers and build a grass-roots base for a presidential campaign. "That's been growing like gangbusters," Cain said. "That's the sort of thing I'll be looking at in the next couple of months in making this decision."

We could do a lot worse than Palin. And we could do a lot worse than Herman Cain. I do like the idea of campaigning early, giving grass roots time to rally. But I do kind of wish he had waited until the day after Super Tuesday. No need to risk rifts before the midterms are over.

A National Retail Tax is FAIR. That way, everyone pays their fair share. I taught High School and I had kids whose families were 4th Generation Welfare Recipients. They paid no income tax but their kids wore Michael Jordan $135 tennis shoes and Oakland Raiders Jackets and always had money for weed. YOU CAN DO THAT WHEN YOU GET A CHECK FROM THE GOVERNMENT EVERY MONTH, PAY NO INCOME TAX, GET FREE MEDICAL, FREE DENTAL, FREE OPTICAL, FREE COLLEGE TUITION AND FOOD STAMPS......

Come on nmh, I suspect you and I are Christian people. Please don't make me cuss. The "Fair Tax" is the only fair tax.

I am looking hard at Cain for President in 2012.


lol, just had the funniest thought. We can recycle our McCain/Palin bumper stickers just by coloring out the Mc.

I love Herman even more than Walter Williams.

Stop your juvenile name calling and GROW UP!

At 71 I am probably as grown up as I will get, mostly from here it is all down hill. Take you buddy Mittens and shove him where the sun don't shine. I will support whomever I want, you are entitled to do the same.

Despite your misogynistic aversion to Palin, if she runs, she will will win, get over it.
