There are two parallel situations clearly illustrating the danger of enabling an untried amateur to try and head the United States. Because we have an incumbent in the White House in so far over his head, he doesn't know which way is up and hasn't the smarts to figure it out. And, on the other hand another wants the job, but has no foundation for doing it effectively either.
Aside from the pay-back deals, and attempts to enrich friends with frauds like Solyndra, Fisker Automotive and others, the president's now bringing home 40,000 troops from Iraq to appease Liberals who put him in office. But that not only means another slew of folks to soon add to the rolls of unemployment, it significantly weakens our strength and influence in the Middle-East. The odds are that this will wind up as a double-barreled blast of foreign policy and unemployment moronic's.
And then we have Herman Cain, who's risen quickly to the top of the pile of Republican presidential hopefuls. But, like most candidates, he's not only gotten more secure in campaigning, he hasn't learned when it's best to just smile and keep quiet. And the more he talks, the more holes appear in his rhetoric and the more he gets dissected in the press.
During the last week alone he's suggested electrifying a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico to kill illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States. He later called it a joke and apologized, should anyone be offended by the remarks.
He also said he'd negotiate for the release of U.S. prisoners held by terrorists, but then reversed himself, saying he'd misunderstood the question.
After telling CNN that while strongly opposing abortion, "the government shouldn't be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to social decisions that they need to make." But later, he issued a statement reiterating his opposition to abortion.
Then after being criticized because his 9-9-9 tax overhaul would force the majority of Americans to pay more to the government, he reworked the plan to exclude the poorest people and to allow some deductions. However, while backers of his original plan had praised its simplicity, carving out exceptions could erode that support.
So, what all this proves to me is that at the core, all these guys are nothing more than politicians who'll promise anything to anyone if they think it'll get them elected. And for somebody like Cain who isn't in office -and with any luck for the public won't be- yapping a mile a minute doesn't do any real damage. But on the other hand, when an unqualified stooge, like the one in the White House now actually gets elected, it's we the public that are at risk and keep paying for his lack of knowledge and absence of capability.
That's it for today folks.
Adios.
