People are sick and tired of being sick and tired of politicians talking about problems and not solving them. For decades the big three, Social Security, Medicare, the national debt and a long list of other problems have only gotten worse, while the politicians just keep on talking, making promises, and creating new problems.

Herman Cain, 2012 Presidential Candidate, just be to clear ... I'm running for president of the United States and I'm not running for second," he told a crowd at Centennial Olympic Park on Saturday.



Cain supports a strong national defense, opposes abortion, backs replacing the federal income tax with a national sales tax and favors a return to the gold standard.

Cain has said he's running "a bottoms-up, outside-the-box campaign." Supporters say he taps into the tea party-fueled desire for plain-speaking citizen candidates.

Born in Memphis, Tenn., and raised in Atlanta, Cain is the son of a chauffeur and a maid. He attended historically black Morehouse College, earned a master's degree from Purdue University and worked as a mathematician for the Navy before beginning to scale the corporate ladder.

He worked at Coca-Cola, Pillsbury and Burger King before taking the helm of the failing Godfather's Pizza franchise, which he rescued by shuttering hundreds of restaurants.

He burst onto the political stage when he argued with President Clinton over the Democrat's health care plan at a 1994 town hall meeting.

The late Jack Kemp, the GOP vice presidential nominee in 1996, once described Cain as having "the voice of Othello, the looks of a football player, the English of Oxfordian quality and the courage of a lion."

In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with liver and colon cancer. He says he's been cancer-free since 2007 and credits the nation's health care system with keeping him alive. He says it's one reason he's so opposed to the health overhaul championed by President Barack Obama.

At a speech in Macon, Ga., Cain gave a glimpse of the rationale for his candidacy. He said the American dream is under attack from runaway debt, a stagnant economy and a Democratic administration forcing a legislative agenda citizens don't want.

The leadership for solving national problems the right way must come from the president. Indeed, the president needs the input, cooperation and approval of both chambers of Congress, but 535 Members of Congress can’t lead by committee. The president has to lead. That’s how the Founders set it up.

But if the president is more of a politician than a problem solver, we end up with more half baked or one sided solutions. We have not had a problem solving president in the White House for decades, which is why our big problems have only gotten worse, little by little.

America is an exceptional nation. It is exceptional because of its history of success, it’s resiliency through tough times, and the tenacity of the American people to keep America strong, independent, and free. We refuse to let our problems fester any longer. We refuse to continue on this fast track to socialism. We refuse to become the United States of Europe...... http://www.hermancain.com/inner.asp?z=15
