Herman Cain’s column is distributed by CainTV, which can be found at Obama's governing strategy makes no sense, unless . . .
I talked on the radio show this morning about what I called Obama's hidden agenda. I suppose the truth is there's nothing much hidden about it, although that's easier to say for someone who pays attention to this stuff for a living. The low-information voter may very well remain fooled, and Obama probably figures he can achieve his political agenda if he gets enough of those. Consider his recent priorities of late:- Thursday, July 16, 2015
Maybe it’s because I’ve been there, and I remember the reactions of the political class because I didn’t talk the way they wanted me to. But I’m having a hard time accepting the widespread assessment of Donald Trump that he’s a buffoon.
A buffoon? In the history of presidential candidates, it would be hard to find a man with more business and financial success on his track record? Have you ever stayed in one of his hotels? Visited one of his casinos? Really studied his financial history?
I couldn’t help but notice something last week about the stories that were emphasized in the news – and about the way they were treated.
Let’s start with Donald Trump. He may not be your top choice for president. He may not be mine. But the reaction to what he said about illegal immigrants bringing crime into the United States has been one of the most absurd spectacles we’ve seen in some time. His fellow Republican candidates have either rushed to denounce his statement, or have been put on the defensive in explaining why they don’t want to.
Greece should be sparking more talk about how we address the runaway spending in this country, which is due in large part to the dysfunctionality of our Social Security system. Now I am not going to propose anything about cutting your Social Security benefits, which is what the Democrats scream about every time someone brings up this problem. They don’t want anyone to consider real solutions to this problem.
Something called the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently published a study that claimed nations with the most “economic inequality” showed the slowest rates of growth between 1990 and 2010. The whole purpose of this exercise, of course, was to provide a justification for government-forced wealth redistribution – the sort of thing that mainly empowers the politicians who get to decide who gets what.
I like very much when I see candidates for any office - but especially for the presidency - propose ideas that don't just nudge things a bit in one direction or another, but that actually solve problems. So I really liked when Rand Paul, via an 
I was reading this past week about the explosion of oil shale development in the United States, and about how and why it's driving the recent plunge in oil prices. It's quite a story. If all you know about fracking is the shrieking you've heard from liberals about it causing earthquakes, you really owe it to yourself to get the truth.
At the suggestion of my team, the previously named "Cain's Presidential Checklist" will now be called "Cain's Presidential Ratings". Granted, it is as subjective as any other so-called political analyst out there, but as pointed out by many of my folks, at least I have been in this political derby before.
Supposedly the following was written by one Lewis Napper, a computer programmer from Mississippi. You never know when things start circulating around the Internet, so I can’t say for sure that the attribution is correct – and I apologize to Mr. Napper for harboring the slightest doubt if he indeed exists and really wrote this.
I usually leave the Hillary critiques to Dan, because he is paaasionate about reminding people about how unqualified she is to be president of the United States of America. And I agree with him wholeheartedly!
As the announced presidential candidates continue to grow in number, it's going to be harder and harder for Main Street folks like us to keep up with the similarities and the differences. This is even more difficult because of the media's uncontrollable impulse to define each candidate based on labels, sound bites, and perceptions they want to create.
Some days we get callers to the Herman Cain Radio Show that are not quite connecting all the dots, and are in denial of the failed policies of the Obama Administration. They usually spend their minute on Rapid Fire accusing me of being anti-Obama, denying the truth, and bringing up any and every past failure of Republicans and conservatives.
Let’s review the logic we are asked to accept from the we-must-act-now-on-global-warming crowd. They tell us that the science is undeniable in showing global warming is both man-made and running wild, and that only liberal policy ideas like carbon taxes and controls on industry can solve the problem.
