Herman Cain's SRLC Speech - Imbued with Wisdom
Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: I like Herman Cain. He is such a breath of fresh air and I could listen to him for hours. He came by to visit with bloggers in the media center before he spoke to a packed house at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. Many of you know that Herman Cain is a noted speaker and radio show personality.
I along with many others gathered to listen to fellow bloggers ask him questions and to Herman's response, wit and wisdom. As much as I wanted time with Herman, I did not expect to get the opportunity. Then as people began to back away, I noted him hesitate and instead of leaving, turned toward me. I reached out my hand and introduced myself and got to shake hands with a man I admire.
It was also amazing that people gave us space and we shared various thoughts and comments and I answered a couple of his questions. As we parted, we shook hands again and grasped each others arms like two parting friendly co-laborers. I leaned in and asked him one more personal question, " Are you going to run again for office" (I meant for Congress). He smiled, and said, "there is only one race I would be interested in." I said do you mean you would run for President. He smiled, shook his head and we parted company.
He was then escorted to the main convention hall where he was to be an unscheduled special speaker. In the media room, we were able to watch speakers on a large screen TV. But, we could also go to the convention hall to listen to the speakers from a designated media area. I decided that I wanted to not only hear Cain, but I also wanted to gauge the reaction of the delegates and guests attending the SRLC. Unlike most speakers who get varied applause, Herman Cain brings people to their feet like a scoring team brings the fans to their feet -- Shouting, cheering, clapping and often laughing. And, at the SRLC, Cain scored big time. Below, You can hear his comments and gauge the reaction of the people in the video of his speech (talk with the people). Be sure to listen to the end to hear Herman Cain hint of his involvement in 2012.

Great speech and speaker. I believe we can retake control in 2010 but I don't believe we can do it without a plan to fix the problems. If we simply run on not being Democrats, fixing the problem, or saving the Country; we come across sounding like Ross Perot. We have to have a specific plan that is possible to implement. Do not just run to repeal health-care but what are we replacing it with. We know that cutting taxes will help get the economy moving but the people have been convinced that the opposite is true. We have to come from a POSITIVE position not a negative one. The incumbents have gotten a reputation as the party of no thanks to the news media, WE are the only ones capable of repairing that image. NOW: lets go take back control in November 2010.
Facts beat bullets in politics
God Bless America
TY for reporting and keeping us informed.
I love Herman--he and James T. Harris throw the racism card right back at them and stomp it into the ground!
What a great speech!
