One small item you fail to note: Washington led the colonials to victory over the British which enabled this nation to emerge. Jefferson, Madison, et al, were unanimous in the belief that Washington had to be our first POTUS if this new nation were to survive.
Though I realize that feat pales in comparison to what Cain has achieved.

You miss the point (as usual). The point IS that Herman Cain is a CITIZEN, not a career politician, and like George Washington, he had no prior political experience and like Washington, Cain is a self-made man with a proven record of NON-political success.

Cain has achieved far more than you give him credit for.
