The past caught up with Herman Cain. His life laced with sex outside marriage saw him tumble from a leader likely to get the Republican nomination to a zero. So he scratched from the race and that is that. But he was the leader in October till his down fall. It happens in politics, but the repercussions for the Republicans is not good. If anybody had half a chance to beat Obama it was Cain. The remaining contenders in the fray don't have the magnetism to challenge Obama.
Obama enters his run for the second term once again with Bidet as his running mate. Though Obama has lost a lot of ground since his election as President, I don't see any Republican being able to defeat him. Hence it could be an election victory by default. Obama wins as no worthwhile opponent is available, despite a state of disenchantment with the US voters. The economy is bad and jobs are hard to come by. There is a 3 trillion dollar deficit and1/3rd of the economy is mortgaged to China. Not a happy thought.
But frankly all this is not Obama's fault as the 10 previous Presidents led by "Ike" have contributed to this mess. Fighting costly wars and grand alliances, supporting and bank rolling hard line Islamic regimes like Saudi Arabia and dictators all over the world. The birds have come home to roost and the USA is in the eclipse mode. Wonder what the presidents like Ford, Bush , Reagan and Ike were thinking. Did they think what they were doing ? arming the very men who were killing US soldiers like Pakistan ?
So Obama is not responsible. He inherited the problem and I suppose he deserves another chance. That is the best bet for America.
