    Herman Cain - in case you were interested

    Here's his CV in case you were interested in learning a little more about him other than the fact that he's the pizza guy (and he "hates" Muslims). This was flead from elsewhere, and I'm pretty sure it's accurate, but I haven't fact checked it.

    Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
    Master’s degree in Computer Science.
    Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
    Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
    VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
    All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!

    Business Manager.
    Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.

    Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.

    In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.

    He was also Chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
    Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!

    Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.

    Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.

    After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!

    Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.

    Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).

    He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone who has run for the presidency in the last half century.

    Seriously though, why can't the Republicans get their crap together? Three weeks ago, all I was hearing was "Oh thank goodness that Rick Perry is running! A true conservative! There's no way Obama can beat him!" Now all I hear is "Oh well Rick Perry can't win. How can we get Chris Christie to run?"

    No doubt he has some great accomplishments but that doesn't neccesarily equate to being a good presidential candidate in my opinion. A recent quote from Cain in response to the Occupy Wall Street protests:
    "Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks," he continued. "If you don't have a job and you are not rich, blame yourself!"

    What's wrong with that quote?

    While it may be true to some extent, not everyone who is unemployed should have the blame placed on themselves.

    He was talking to the idiots protesting on wall street, not to everyone.

    All those things mean squat to me, you want to impress me show me a politician who will stand behind what they promise. Until then who cares about his accomplishments, alot of politicians are accomplished and rich businesspeople but they get elected and scum they become.
