His 999 plan cuts taxes on the wealthy and increases taxes on the poor and some middle class. Americans will not tolerate that. He considers himself a man with life experience and not political/not having political ties like other candidates. I hope you caught this in that wikipedia link:

"In 2005 and 2006, Cain worked for the Koch family funded Americans for Prosperity(AFP) alongside Mark Block. Block would later become campaign manager for Cain's 2012 Presidential run and would be joined in Cain's campaign by several other AFP employees."

AFP is ran by two billionaire brothers. They push for right-leaning causes through that group. That's called lobbying. He frequently mentions his career with Godfather's Pizza, but he and/or his campaign folks won't answer any questions when AFP is mentioned, and I bet you his work at AFP is more interesting than him saving a pizza chain, especially considering that he still works with them. I'd like to hear his reason for leaving that part out in his biography on his website: http://www.hermancain.com/about. If it wasn't for AFP, Cain wouldn't be able to make the kind of noise he's making now. He's not a Republican candidate, but an AFP candidate; simply their representative, pushing their agenda at debates.

Mr--Why:

Hermain Cain has a impressive record.

It seems Obama is going to be a one term president.

You may have legitimate concerns and raised important questions about Mr Cain's track record. However, there is no one contending for a public office that is a saint. They are all prone to some sort of leanings or the other. But he seems to know himself and where he comes from. He is confident and genuine. In fact, he has been engaged in administrative works than Obama when he was vying for the democratic nomination and could be pragmatic in his approach to the economy/Tax issues rather than rely on market forces like Obama is doing.

Obama may appear more modern but he is two faced. He lacks an independent mind. Maybe he is being controlled behind the seen,who knows. His short-sightedness is beyond reason. On the foreign policy front, he goes into a region he practically knows nothing about. He backs a war to prop up oil stocks for his cronies and refuse to come out and strongly condemn the brutal killing been perpetrated on black Libyans and other Africans in Libya by his so called "rebel friends".  He threw Mubarak under the bus. Now Egypt is ever more unsafe and volatile than before.  Has he come out to passionately empathize with drought stricken women and children in the horn of Africa?

what has he positively done? Except killing Osama and that Yemeni-American fugitive.The ongoing war in Afghanistan he can't win. Even the legendary Alexander the great admittedly called Afghanistan " The grave yard of empires". The unemployment rate in the US remain stagnant; national debt has gone up folds; African Americans have one of the most highest unemployment rates, yet he is busy signing trade deals that will result in more jobs being shipped out. He has shown to be completely out of touch and carried way. Well, his policies are not affecting me domestically , but he ought to stick his feet where they fit and keep away from destabilizing Africa further. Hopefully Americans especially African Americans will be able to think for themselves and do more research this time than to be swayed by emotions and empty rhetoric. Their economic foundations is at stake here.

As Malcolm said "I have more respect for a man who let me know where he stands even if he's wrong, than a man who comes up like an Angel and he is nothing but a ,  Fill in the gap sista

I don't want Herman Cain for president because his tax plan will raise taxes or give new taxes to the poor and decrease taxes for the rich and wealthy. Now, is that fair? Lower taxes on the rich does not mean that money will be used to create new jobs. If you had extra cash in hand, you wouldn't give it to someone. You'd probably invest on yourself, which is what quite a few of the wealthy do.

I don't want Herman Cain for president because he is a puppet. Did you watch him on "Meet The Press" over the weekend? I don't even think he knows what that 999 Plan he was given entails. Has he released any numbers besides 9? How much will be saved? How much will be lost? Anything of that nature? None. An economic plan should have numbers, at least more numbers than the number 9. When asked about the plan, he gave an example of bread makers and a delivery man and how their costs go down. The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal have ridiculed his plan. Until Cain stops generalizing this plan of his and lays out a plan involving more numbers than 9, I'll continue to assume he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I don't want Herman Cain for president because of his character. Yes, his character. When any of us middle or low-class citizens apply for jobs, they judge us by our work employment history (if any) and our character/demeanor. Over the weekend, Cain made a silly remark about electric fences to prevent illegal immigrants from coming to the US to commit crime. Not only was he barking into the microphone, but he made a distortion. Illegal immigrants do not cross the border to kill American citizens; they come for work and to better their lives, mostly. Illegal immigrants are underrepresented in prisons. In fact, a majority of prisoners are whites. If Cain is worried about criminal activity against US citizens, he should be addressing another group.

President Obama is the lesser evil.
