UI: Black Candidates

CrazyRee - October 22nd, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Congratulations, Carter – you've been dethroned as the sh*ttiest president in U.S. history.

Whats_Up - October 22nd, 2011 at 12:12 pm

Slam Dunk …beautiful! Maybe the Koch Brothers will run a few ads like this in the NY Times, San Fran, LA …

It is SO obvious the O has little accomplishments – his life has just been one big party on the backs of others.

grainbird - October 22nd, 2011 at 12:18 pm

You nailed the liberal ideologue media on their bias, guys. Including the unethical refusal to research on and report all the facts, in their frenzy to deify the Democrat candidate and demonize the GOP one. Thanks.

jongalt1776 - October 22nd, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Definitely biased against the GOP

However, Conservatives should try vetting Godfather's Pizza revenues and earnings when Cain ran it including for the 2.5 years at Pillsbury before he purchased it. It was horrible. Sales dropped by 41% in real dollar equivalents during the years that he ran Godfather's Pizza.. Cain laid off thousands of employees. Godfather's Pizza was the 2nd largest pizza chain in America when Pillsbury gave it to Cain to run. When Cain finally exited Godfather's Pizza they had fallen to #6. Cain has never shown Godfather's Pizza financials as well as his tax returns during the years that he owned Godfather's Pizza and continues to resist requests to do so.

Conservatives should also vett Cain's current and continuing ties to the Fed Reserve. Yes he was considered one of their more Conservative people when he was with the Federal Reserve but he has stated that he does not think that Congress should audit them.

Conservatives need to get their act together on Cain and vett him in detail like they have Romney and Perry.

NutsnBolts - October 22nd, 2011 at 1:24 pm

Dat be da narrative, an' we're stickin' wit it!

NutsnBolts - October 22nd, 2011 at 1:34 pm

Worth looking into. If sales were dropping, was it because of him or of outside forces? He does not seem to be the kind of guy to make things worse, to make people working for him unhappy or unproductive, or to shoot himself in the foot. If his record is a little exaggerated (something I do not concede without further investigation) it is still a record of life in the private sector, reasonable success, and shows him a lover of capitalism. And he "gets it" on the need to shrink government – a HUGE issue for me.

Newt seems to also, though he lost a lot of shine with the limited accomplishments of his "Contract with America." He and the party acted as though they had lost the election in '94, so compliant were they.

Aten - October 22nd, 2011 at 1:54 pm

The truth is so clear….

LazyJack - October 22nd, 2011 at 2:08 pm

Saying Cain is a Genius is a bit over the top.

Oh, wait.

Didn't Oprah, the tingly press, the Nobel Committee, et. al. fete Obama with the title of Supreme Being. He is "The One" according to Oprah after all.

Lazy Jack.

Navy Gentleman - October 22nd, 2011 at 2:11 pm

I just don't understand why no one can see his school records and his state senate records.

I didn't know anyone could seal state senate records.

I don't know any past Presidents who have their school records sealed.

But that is liberal transparency I suppose…

syvyn11 - October 22nd, 2011 at 2:30 pm

But Nutty Jimmy will always be the stupidest former President. At least until Jan, 20, 2013.

WingedPanther73 - October 22nd, 2011 at 3:30 pm

With all this transparency, I'm on information overload. Oh wait.

rogue_4 - October 22nd, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Love it. You sould make poster size and plaster them all over.

kooz - October 22nd, 2011 at 3:48 pm

We can beat obama with a Cain.

4arepublic - October 22nd, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Having grown up as a muslim in Indonesia, Obamao should understand and receive a "caining".

4arepublic - October 22nd, 2011 at 4:59 pm

I guess it all depends on which "source" you believe. You did not cite any sources and if you are not willing to do that, you have no credibility. If you don't post links, we will assume you are either a liar or ashamed of your source (s). The choice is yours.

4arepublic - October 22nd, 2011 at 5:05 pm

One thing to ponder… in his whole life, Herman Cain never voted "present". Think about it..

Charm2 - October 22nd, 2011 at 5:11 pm

I trade Obama for a pizza any day.

Squishy_ - October 22nd, 2011 at 5:19 pm

That about sums it up.

StanH - October 22nd, 2011 at 5:35 pm

Hmmm…so what you’re saying there is a double standard? ~sarc~

HotCoffee - October 22nd, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Democrat Marxism vs Conservative Free Markets….World War Z

GJP - October 22nd, 2011 at 6:29 pm

If past is prolog and the terrible Carter gave us the Great Ronald Reagan, consider the potential swing from the even worse Obama to an even Greater Herman Cain.

GJP - October 22nd, 2011 at 6:32 pm

I'd trade Obama for an empty pizza box. Heck, I'd trade Obama for nothing AND give you a large pizza with the works.

sybilll - October 22nd, 2011 at 8:22 pm

This may have been your best effort ever! I give you 2 UpTwinkles!

Navy Gentleman - October 22nd, 2011 at 8:45 pm

The most brilliant mind of his time. Those 15 seconds sure did fly by — didn't they?

I still want to see those college records Mr. Top of the Class!

Before the next election!!!

Calvin0007 - October 22nd, 2011 at 10:22 pm

Maybe you should do a little more research and vetting yourself. Yes, Godfathers got smaller under Cain but Cain was not there to keep it large, Cain was there to save it and that required cutting away unprofitable stores. Cain also initiated delivery service since Dominoes wasn't a fad after all. Sales dropped as a gross but increased when divided by the number of stores that remained. Solid, profitable stores.
Cain also said that he didn't think it was worthwhile to audit the Fed according to the way it was run when he was there. Now, he says it could be considered after the last few years.

twistin - October 23rd, 2011 at 6:47 am

The uh, uh, uh, uh, ehhhhh, smartest, uh, uh, uh, man, uh, in, uh errrrr, uhhhhh, the, uh uh room. Aaaaaaaaaannnnndddd……..nothing.

MacJedi - October 23rd, 2011 at 7:05 am

What do I see? The content of their character and not the color of their skin. You shall know them by their fruits.

R_Swift - October 23rd, 2011 at 7:22 am

obama, he is the liberals favorite corpsman.

driguana - October 23rd, 2011 at 9:24 am

Even if you were correct, which you are not as you haven't really provided the whole picture, his fiscal experience is light years ahead of any similar experience that Obama had either before being elected president or after….if you want to see how Obama fared, do some research on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge which is about the closest Obama ever came to "running" anything….pathetic that people make these kinds of comparisons…..Obama had NO experience of any kind….in any category…..period….yet you all elected him! pretty scary! oh, I forgot…..he ran a great campaign!

blame_canada929 - October 23rd, 2011 at 9:28 am

Dennis Miller summed all that up in a few words—Cain vs Unable!

PArocks123 - October 23rd, 2011 at 11:02 am

Actually I say James Buchanan was out worst president.

PArocks123 - October 23rd, 2011 at 11:03 am

This is quite possibly the greatest thing I have seen on Big Journalism!

PArocks123 - October 23rd, 2011 at 11:04 am

I am confused on who are the Koch Brotheres. Can anybody send me a link please.

mikeflaherty2 - October 23rd, 2011 at 11:18 am

Herman Cain hires convicted felon to serve as his bodyguard:
http://www.tmz.com/2011/10/23/herman-cain-bodygua...

"Kristian Otto Herzog — the guy who was once at the center of the bitter battle between Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson — is now at the center of the race for the Repbulican presidential nomination … alongside Herman Cain.

Herzog was spotted on Friday with the GOP candidate during a campaign stop in Detroit, MI.

Cain's spokesperson, J.D. Gordon, tells TMZ this was Herzog's first job with the campaign and he worked with a team of 2-3 guys. Our sources say they don't believe Herzog is scheduled for any future events … nor do they think he will be asked to provide future services.

Herzog — a convicted felon with a penchant for impersonating police officers — worked as Oksana's bodyguard and claimed to have had a sexual relationship with her. He sided with Mel when she accused him of domestic violence."

But hey, at least we got Herman Cain's name right. Something air-head Scare-a Palin didn't do:
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/09/sarah-pal...

CrazyRee - October 23rd, 2011 at 11:51 am

Obama has plenty of felons working for him, they just haven't been arrested yet.

Also, TMZ and Gatewaypundit? You're impressive.

Goo - October 23rd, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Makes the choice pretty clear to me.

Lamdog - October 23rd, 2011 at 12:46 pm

Oksana? You have a President who has an Attorney General who love to kill American: Branch Davidian, Fast and Furious. Will not begin to connect the dots for an administration large donar who donate 100's of thousand but received millions in taxpayer dollar, under the guise of green energy. Treasury Secretary who do not pay income taxes. Education Secretary who 8th grader read at 30% grade level: See Chicago. How about a person convicted of being a impersonating a President? Then again being a cofessed coke head and drug dealer it easy to understand the decision coming from this WhiteHouse. The scary part of this is less than 2 years. 3rd years starting wars left and right. Killing Chrsitian in Africa.

seastory82 - October 23rd, 2011 at 5:23 pm

don't you mean "corpse-man?"

R_Swift - October 23rd, 2011 at 6:31 pm

of corps.

BeeKaay - October 23rd, 2011 at 8:54 pm

Remember, Marxists have not taken over the fourth estate….they said so themselves!

Prof_Turgeson - October 23rd, 2011 at 9:10 pm

Whatsa matter?

Do you have something against rehabilitated felons who paid their debts to society trying to go straight?

Oh. Sorry. I forgot. The left just favors fugitive child molesters and murdering radical bombers who like to have their pictures taken standing on the American flag.

Prof_Turgeson - October 23rd, 2011 at 9:13 pm

Even after three years of intense OJT, he's still not qualified to be POTUS.

How long do we have to pay for his Chief Executive/CINC education, and what will the ultimate cost to us be?

Ironhawk_86 - October 24th, 2011 at 12:53 am

Which is worse: hiring felon as bodyguard or appointing one to cabinet position? Thought so. STFU

bzb322 - October 24th, 2011 at 1:42 am

his "ties" to the federal reserve? are they like the freemasons or the scientologists or something, lol….

bzb322 - October 24th, 2011 at 1:44 am

OMG, THE HORROR! lol….

you know the left is running out of poo to fling if that's what they're down to….

bzb322 - October 24th, 2011 at 1:46 am

that poster fails to mention Cain's Masters Degree in Computer Science….

Tyrant - October 24th, 2011 at 4:38 am

I think Math Genius is a little too generous.

JamesDHudnall - October 24th, 2011 at 11:36 am

Compared to the president, he is
