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.

Just as I liked Palin but couldn’t stand her acolytes, I like Cain but can’t stand the Cainiacs.
LOL. This is rich coming from you considering you are one of the most arrogant, obnoxious posters on FR. Your comments are regularly smug, vicious and dripping with venom towards others.
And Herman Cain is not like George Washington. The comparison is just silly. Herman is not someone who is reluctantly being drawn into national politics, he ran for the office for the first time a decade ago in the 2000 cycle. He also has not surrounded himself with great people considering his campaign manager has proven himself to be a complete idiot. No, Cain does not have George Washington like leadership qualities.
I like Herman Cain, however he is a lightweight in many area of expertise, and would not be the President we sorely need now!
I addressed the substance of the thread and also gave you one example why Cain does not and never will have the character of George Washington. That you cannot provide a legitimate point other than sputtering “arrogant” or “acting supidly” tells everyone how much weigh to put in your contribution to the thread.
Carry on.
Have some fun!
I like that analogy in Herman’s business career, but will reserve it politically until he actually wins a race.
I dont know, Lindsey Lohan was able to orchestrate a meeting (using her twin sister that she didnt know) between her divorced parents living in different continents when she was only 12, which is fairly impressive.
Let’s see: Uh! Washington or this, rofl.

Not even close.
NONE of you bothered to address the statements in the article. You went right into childish personal attack mode. The same tactics you use any time Cain's name is mentioned positively.
So spare us the pompous arrogant posturing as if you were some sort of exemplars of intellectual ability. Your behavior on this thread proves that self image you try to portray a total lie.
This is the stupidest and most assinine piece I’ve read in ages! Garbage...pure and utter garbage!
Why do you keep posting to 1, instead of replying to specific posts?
I will only stop if you can string 5 multi-syllabic adverbs together to describe “our” actions. So far, you are only up to 2, so you have some work to do.
Abe Lincoln more popular than Jesus (#2) and Aaron Rodgers (#3) in Wisconsin poll.
Herman Cain would’ve beaten all three - he’s the new Chuck Norris - a punchline.

“NONE of you bothered to address the statements in the article.”
OK. I will ADDRESS your article.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA.
NOW, HERE’S ONE FOR YOU;
If Michelle Obama could fly, would she be a better first lady than was Dolly Madison. And why?
Show your work on a separate post.
Perry would be more like Tebow. He has never lost and yes, sometimes it looks ugly.
Thanks,but I cannot abide that self important blabber mouth airhead Letterrman and never could. Herman Cain was clearly in possession of himself and stayed focused in spite of Letterman’s constant attempt to confuse him.
Thanks for the link. Herman Cain has class!
Yep, he’s a master of polysyllabic sesquipedalianism.
