Did You Know This??? About Herman Cane...

[ctwny1]

I just found this Bio on Herman Cain;

Herman Cain is running for president. He's not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He's known as a pizza guy, but there's a lot more to him. He's also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy.

Here's his bio:

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 that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

Yep...he's too qualified.   

[Hognutz]

He is no dummy. That's for sure..

[mbecnel]

Not sure if he'll get the nomination, but whoever does should get him as their VP. He is definitely a very smart man with some really good ideas...............

[HogBiologist]

He would get my vote.

[lightsoutcalls]

I have listened to his radio program and agreed with most all I have heard him say.  I like the fact that he is against illegal aliens getting a pass and soaking off of our welfare system.  I also like the idea of the flat tax he has proposed.  I would absolutely vote for him at this point.  I find it interesting that the media can only seem to focus on his connection with Godfather's Pizza, but seemed to be blindly enamoured with a community organizer.

As of right now, he has my vote.

Herman is from Atlanta.  His father was the driver for none other than Robert Woodruff, the man that made Coca Cola an international power.  Woodruff also owned a fine plantation in Baker Co., Ga call Ichauway, which is now home to the Jones Center.  That place is covered in quail, deer, and turkeys.

I managed to turn a political thread into a fantasy thread about an obscene place to go hunting.

The more I learn about this guy the more I like him. Self made intelligent man who worked hard to get where he is. When asked recently about foreign policy issues he didn't respond with some BS hot air like 99% of the other candidates would. He stated that he didn't know a whole lot about foreign policy at the moment, but he will surround himself with the right people and learn about it. I thank him for that answer.
As I see it he is a fixer of problems. That's what we need.

[gatrkyhntr70]

Ive been listening to him on the radio here in ga. for years; He has my vote!

[MarkJM]

It doesnt say in this article what his political views are, but he sounds like a qualified guy.

[gatrapper]

Has been my favorite candidate for sometime now. 

[LX_Trkyhntr]

I told my wife during the first debate that I like a lot of what he says.  I hope he gets a chance!

[trkehunr93]

He's the only one worth voting for IMO.  None of the rest measure up to him. 

[stinkpickle]

Yep.  He and Ron Paul are definitely at the top of my list.  Having them on the same ticket would be great.  Unfortunately, we'll probably end up with Romney.  Eh...
