Herman Cain enters 2012 GOP presidential race

[nmbluesky]

Now the tea party favorite wants to be president.
"In case you accidentally listen to a skeptic or doubting Thomas out there, just to be clear … I'm running for president of the United States, and I'm not running for second," he told a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday. Chants of "Herman" erupted from the crowd of thousands in downtown Atlanta.
--
At the speech, Cain tried to build a foundation for his run for the White House. He said the American dream is under attack from runaway debt, a stagnant economy, a muddled foreign policy and an influx of illegal immigrants. He said Americans should be infuriated because the Obama administration's $787 billion stimulus program "didn't stimulate diddly."
"It's time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain't working," he said. "Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job."

6. Cain: "The trillion dollar stimulus did diddly."

Sure, if by trillion he means $787 billion and if diddly means prevented the economy from falling off a cliff.

3. Now we have to worry...(sarcasm added)

4. If you saw the crowd (on C-Span) it looked more like 500 than 5,000 like he claimed. n/t

No, FOX, this is massive:

7. See, the GOP isn't racist at all

They have black friends. Sometimes they even parade them in public to remind us of that fact, as if that will somehow make us forget their myriad of racist policies.

8. Sara Palin says he has the experience to be President

“I like Herman Cain, even hearing his name,” she said. “I get kind of excited thinking about what it is he has to offer in the discourse and the debate.”

Though he’s never held an elected office, Palin cited Cain’s experience as the head of the Godfather's Pizza franchise as qualification enough to lead the country: “He knows how to make a payroll … He knows how to make a really good pizza.”

From the same article, she must also think he can do the following:

“It should be now that America takes a stand in defending our enemies in Israel.”

9. No one as weak and pathetic on terror will win.

Even if he didn't have the millstone of blackness around his neck with the GOP primary voter, he simply looks like a bona fide bonehead on foreign policy.

No plan at all! Ridiculous.
