Cain would make good president

Our forefathers came to this land in a variety of ways, for a variety of reasons, from a variety of circumstances, to a variety of circumstances. As a gentleman of color told me, “My kin folk came here in a slave ship, from slavery to slavery. I am so glad someone brought them. I am so glad to be here.”

This is the Land of Opportunity. Those who came here, voluntarily or involuntarily, made this great nation. To live and work and raise their families. I am talking about a better place for everyone who lives here. Freedom here is the difference. Every person is free to rise to the highest level. I once asked a John Deere engineer if he had a desire to be the company president. He said, “No, I do not want to work that hard.” Hard work is the key, not who you are.

Herman Cain is going to run for president in 2012. Herman is past president of Godfather's Pizza. He was instrumental in bringing the company back to profitability. I heard a talk-show host ask him if he expected the pizza flippers to make a living on what they were being paid. He replied, certainly not.

I always had to work two or three jobs to make a living. Today, I work 80 hours plus. Herman Cain is a gentleman of color. He would make a very good president. I would like to get a chance to vote for him.
