I so agree with you too, Jim and this should be something people, and patriots should pass around to all. It states his father was a chaufferur, but not for whom or which company. I met Woodruff son at a party, and he could not have been nicer, the rest of the “rich kids,” well I will reserve my comments.

I just found this Bio on Herman Cain;
Herman Cain is running for president. He’s not a career politician (in fact he has never held political office). He’s known as a pizza guy, but there’s a lot more to him. He’s also a computer guy, a banker guy, and a rocket scientist guy. One more thing I might add: Also, his father was chauffeur for Robert Woodruff of the Coca Cola Company.
Here’s his bio:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
- Master’s degree in Computer Science.
- Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
- Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
- VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!
- Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
- Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
- In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
- He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!
- Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
- Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.
After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
- Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
- Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.

I flipped thru the channels tonight and caught a little of Bill O’reilly. I emailed him and other online news ppl. My comments speaks for itself:
Geeeez. I was so disappointed in you tonight. You said because Perry messed up on his debate that was the reason pollsters voted for Cain and Paul, therefore that doesn’t count so Perry won the straw poll????????????????????????????????????????
Isn’t the idea for a forum of a straw poll is that people vote for the best “in their own opinion”? So the ppl opinion does not count only yours??? Where did you get your talking points from Bill? The democrats I guess. They probably think they can win against Perry but not Cain or Paul right?

I would be very careful about electing someone who was high up in the federal reserve system

that’s true, but on the other hand they are all connected. Do you really think BO, Romney and Perry are not getting the same marching orders? At the end of the day we can only hope for one, who will be less of a problem than others

Cain is the perfect example of picking yourself up by the boot-straps and getting it done! I would be proud to say he’s my president, unlike the joke that currently occupies the White House.

I also agree about Oreilly. He is so full of himself. A couple of swift slaps to his face might knock of that smug look, but he would still consider himself a king-maker. Someone needs to call Billy Boy out for the RINO he is!
Ooops! I just did!
Herman Cain 2012!

Cain is a Federal Reserve hack! He will do nothing to dismantle our corrupt and extra-constitutional monetary system.

America CANNOT CONSIDER ANOTHER POLITICIAN OWNED by THE FEDERAL RESERVE (BILDERBERGS–NWO) At this time EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE is OWNED by them and WILL DESTROY AMERICA — if we stupidly ALLOW IT!

Come on people! This man was involved with the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas for the experience, and has moved on. He has enough sense to know between wrong and right, and has nothing to do with the Bilderbergers. We will see how he handles the questions of his banking experience in the upcoming debates.
The bottom line is, he has the EXPERIENCE to FIX problems with things like the Federal Reserve, not abolish them altogether, thereby making the problem worse.
You people that think Ron Paul is the answer, better figure out quickly, that Paul’s ideas would weaken this country and devastate the few remaining moral values and the inner structure that holds our society together.
