Looking back at American history, Herman Cain has a lot in common with George Washington. Washington never really wanted, nor actively sought out the top military leadership role in our fight and war for independence from Great Britain.
He was, like all of us a flawed man, to a degree, with many mistakes, shortcomings and failings in both his personal and military life. Brash actions in conflicts, a French diplomat killed while on diplomatic mission, witnessing the death of his sixteen year old step daughter in his arms, all served to mold and form Washington into the future great leader he became.
Upon receiving the top command, he continued to be haunted by this trail of stumbles throughout the campaigns and battles of Revolutionary War. But……little by little, bit by bit, miscue after miscue, mistake after mistake, Mr. Washington through experience and leadership, developed into, both a mature and wise leader of, first the Continental army, and later the nation itself.
And…..as a leader who often sought the advice of others, he wisely heeded the counsel of his French allies to engage the British army at Yorktown, Virginia, rather then New York, where he had previously been beaten badly by the British enemy…
And yes, like all great men and women, he effectively learned to choose a team of subordinates that were able and vastly capable of supporting him, in battle, in administration and wise counsel…
Such a man was George Washington, the man, the war leader, the first President …..of America. And as the work in progress continues and America has an opportunity to bring a man to the fore that will forge us all into one nation with equality, freedom and liberty for all citizens.
Such a man is Herman Cain.

you got that right.
Does IHOP ever close?
OK. I like Cain more than most of the other candidates but this headline is a bit over the top.
But does he have the leadership qualities of Aaron Rodgers?
“If you don’t like having your arrogant stupidity pointed out, quit acting stupidly”
OK. But can I continue being arrogant?
Herman Cain is Tim Tebow, it may not be pretty, but all he does is win.
Come back when he's won a war and founded a country.
I have decided to treat him like the pig with which it is wise not to wrestle.
They have nothing to build up so their only recourse is to tear down that which they have to look up to merely see. What is it about fools who can’t help themselves to strive for the least common denominator?
“Does IHOP ever close?”
Evidently not. He has reminded everyone on the board that he is intellectually superior every day, though, so it must be a full time job just telling us how smart he is. The other part of the day is consumed by the childish rants. Nope, I think this is a 24 hour a day job for the poor guy.
Oh please.
Right, if you dont believe Cain compares with Washington, it really means you just dont know enough about Washington.
All praise to St. Cain’s number one disciple!!!
ROFL. Obviously not at the Library.
“Warning: Once you get into an argument with MNJohnnie, he will start stalking you from thread to thread.”
Oh, I duntno. I find him charming in a knuckle dragging, mouth breathing kind of way...he’s already on the trail, though, so he is inevitable...I’ll just try to enjoy it. I hope he doesn’t pierce me with his keen intellect to often though. I am pretty delicate.
BTW, do you get paid per the copy and paste, or is it hourly?
Of late Cain hasn’t shown the leadership qualities of Lindsey Lohan.
I think you nailed it about MNJohnnie.
I thought Patton was the 2nd coming of Washington. Maybe Cain is the 3rd coming tho. (Although Cain was born a week before Patton died, so he couldnt be the reincarnation.)
