A few weeks ago in New York at the “Monday Meeting” of Republican politicians and donors, Herman Cain fired major shots at President Obama by stating a “community organizer” could not get a job as a manager of a Godfather’s Pizza franchise [Herman was the CEO of the pizza chain until 1996]. This quote wasn’t just typical douchebag rhetoric from the right, but it struck me a LOT deeper than that: It just reminded me even MORE why the WORST candidate for President of the United States is a successful businessman.

I definitely should not have been surprised to hear such ignorance come from the mouth of Herman Cain, seeing as he’s been making a POINT of being the Anti-Obama by constantly saying inflammatory and incendiary BULLSH*T like the Occupy Movement supporters and other poor and disenfranchised folks should blame THEMSELVES for NOT being rich. We all know HERMAN is a DOUCHE and not the right man for the job, but I am actually SURPRISED that he’s NOT the leading front-runner anymore.

You all can call me crazy all you want for thinking that the Republican party would ever vote a black name as their nominee for president of the United States, but this field was so incredibly crazy [not the GOOD crazy, but the strait-jacket kind] that I thought he could actually DEFAULT his way into winning the nomination. In a field of racists, crazy people, Mormons and charisma-less Ron Paul, he could have been a REAL problem – until he went into crazy-old’ negro mode and started to espouse financial and social theories that would do nothing but hamper and burden the underclass even moreso than they are already. And that goes back to my larger point about CEO’s and large business owners desiring to be the president.

I’m not sure where this idea started that running the country should be like running a business but that is one of the most fallacious and unnerving ideologies I’ve ever heard in my life. The reality is running the country should be the OPPOSITE of running a business, as the economic component DOES play a large part, it is not the SOLE important factor of governance and the fact that businessmen think so, is disturbing. Only a businessman would present the “Optimal Tax Plan” a.k.a. 9-9-9 [replacing the current tax code with a 9-percent personal income tax, a 9-percent business transactions tax, and a 9-percent federal sales tax] and go around stating it’s some GREAT thing, until REAL economists show him that it would do nothing more than switching the tax burden from the rich to the poor. So what does Cain do? He invents the 9-0-9 plan in an effort to get more poor folks on his side.

At a time when so many people are not only unemployed, but disillullusioned about the ‘American Dream’ and struggling to win the war on depression, the country does NOT need someone with a great track record of making businesses more profitable  by slashing employees or enforcing rigid “trickle-down” economics. The country actually needs HOPE, and I’m NOT saying only Obama can offer that, but I am saying Cain CAN’T.

Simply put, Herman you are NOT the right man for the job. You can laugh at a community organizer not being able to work in a pizzeria all you want, but here’s the REAL joke: It’s gonna take a LOT more than an elitist, short-sighted pizzaman to save America from social and political ruin.
