Herman Cain Could have Made History

America has turned turtle since the early fifties. One could never think of a US President whose roots were colored, but it happened as Barack Obama became president of the USA. The last election threw up an interesting possibility, where there could have been a clash of two coloreds fighting for the top post. This is just hypothetical now, but when I think about it does intrigue me.

 The man who had challenged Obama was Herman Cain a black with roots in the slave plantations of the Deep South as nominee for President of the Republicans. Cain was born in in 1945 and has had a checkered career with a stint in the Navy as civil employee.

In the primaries in October the year of the election Cain had surged ahead. In case he had won and been nominated it would have meant two blacks fighting for the post of the Chief Executive of the most powerful nation on earth.
 Cain is a Baptist and unlike Obama has no connection with Islam. He is American in every aspect and married with 3 children and 2 grandchildren.  But I am afraid he blew his chances away forever by allegations of sexual misconduct.

Unfortunately Cain’s philandering caught up with him and he had to scratch from the race. But all said and done it was a far cry from the days when the dreaded white supremacy organizations like the KKK were running amuck and hunting Blacks like animals.

Lastly Cain in a response to Obamas state of the Union address delivered his speech at the National Press Club. The speech was telecast live on the Tea Party Express website. Cain referred to Obama's address as a "hodgepodge of liberal ideas," adding that there were "no big ideas that would impact job growth" and "no big ideas that would stimulate economic growth in this country".

^{Would Cain have been a better Black President?}
