Has Obama met his match?

"We need a realistic candidate to run on the Republican ticket who can beat Barack Obama – not just beat the Democrats," Herman Cain, an Atlanta radio talk-show host, former CEO of Godfather's Pizza and 2004 Senate seeker, told WND. "We've also got to beat Barack Obama."

He added, "Obama is a master of rhetoric. He is a master of deceptive language. And any white candidate who runs against him will be up against the race card. I take the race card off the table."

Cain, a devout Christian, emphasized he is "prayerfully considering" a 2012 bid for the GOP nomination.

"I'm a man of faith, and I do believe in prayerful consideration of something this big," he explained.

In addition to serving as the former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza for 10 years, Cain, 64, is also former president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association and former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He's been vice president of Burger King, vice president of Pillsbury Company, a mathematician for the U.S. Department of the Navy and a business analyst for Coca-Cola. He has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Morehouse College and a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University.


PREDICTION...the Liberals and the media will break out the dogs, firehoses and Burning crosses to keep this man off the trail.

And here is another Hero we will see pursued like an escaped.....you get the idea

However, after Obama’s nearly flawless campaign (rattled by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racist rants, but little else), the big surprise one and a half years after Obama’s momentous and truly moving inauguration is the staggering incompetence of his government. Like some Americans, I expected a nanny-state, socialist agenda from Obama & Co. However, I thought that at least they would manage things smoothly and professionally, in somewhat refreshing contrast to the general ineptitude of the detached, tongue-tied Bush-Rove years. Instead, what America and the world have witnessed is an extravaganza of frequent gaffes, blunders, and catastrophes:

Andrew had one reason to post that edited video and all the rationalization in the world will not change that intent. He is no different that Balloon Boys parents in what he did, use the reality TV to promote his bigotry and advance his career.

I am sorry Tilty...but UM Didn't the most "Racially Sensitive President" of all time do the actual Lynching of Ms Sherrod?

From what I remember it seems to be the people who actually "Commit the act" we are supposed to hold responsible.

I find it amazing and somewhat hilarious that the 'Boy King' couldn't take ten freaking minutes to try to pull up the full video and review it. Maybe Liberals don't learn "research" in Libbie Schools.

The issue was context. In context (A) Breitbart said in his posting that she was exonerated, that she had learned her lesson - the press left that out, (B) Breitbart pointed to the audiences reaction BEFORE they knew it was a 'life lesson', (C) if you actually watch the video, Sherrod IS racist as evidenced by other parts of her speech.

If the teabaggers had any morals at all they'd publicly apologize to Shirley Sherrod and disavow Mr. Dim-bart permanently.

Well Tilty..."the teabaggers" as I understand it are a group of "men" primarily who get entertainment in a "certain form" of activity normally found in "Alternative Lifestyle" groups.

I don't remember your friends being involved in the incident.

IF on the other hand you are referring to the Tea Party....please tell my when they were involved in the actual "FIRING" of Ms. Sherrod? Tilty..its your "man" the Boy king who did the deed....

WASHINGTON (CN) - Former U.S Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod's lawsuit against right-wing blogger Andrew Breitbart survived a motion to dismiss, clearing the way for her to pursue the high-profile defamation suit she filed against him and a colleague last year.
Sherrod Sued Breitbart and associate Larry O'Connor in February 2011, charging the two men posted a heavily editor clip of her online that led to accusations of racism and ultimately got her fired.
Breitbert filed his motion under the D.C. Anti-SLAPP Act, which provides that if a defendant can show the claim at issue arises from an act in furtherance of the right to free speech - and if the it is also related to an issue of public concern-he can file a special motion to dismiss.
But in a terse decision, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon tossed the motion, pointing out that the D.C. law that the motion was based on did not take affect until more than a month after Sherrod filed her defamation suit.
Sherrod sued Breitbart, Larry O'Connor and a third, unidentified individual in 2011 for allegedly editing down her 43-minute speech at the March 2010 NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet into a 2 minute 36-second clip meant to mislead the public into believing that Sherrod gave preferential treatment to black farmers in doling out federal funds.
The short video, in which Sherrod spoke of her own feelings about helping a poor white farmer, went viral and within days had her pulling her car over at the behest of the White House to "email her resignation from her blackberry," claimed Sherrod in her federal complaint.
Breitbart published "an inflammatory and highly damaging blog post" in July 2010, with the doctored clip of the speech along with "five introductory slides containing false statements of fact regarding Mrs. Sherrod," according to Sherrod's complaint.
Only a day after the White House forced her resignation, the complete video of her speech surfaced, prompting apologies from President Obama and from Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly who said, "So I owe Mrs. Sherrod an apology for not doing my homework, for not putting her remarks into the proper context," Sherrod said. Judge Leon held that Breitbart's motion to dismiss, filed April 18, 2011, was filed two weeks after the deadline to file the special motion, and allowed Sherrod's case to proceed.
