Too bad he could not have been the first black President as opposed to the joke in there now.

Obama and the Dems just don't seem to have a clue. I think correct targeted spending helps, but look at where so much of the spending went, a few 100 million on green projects that went bankrupt right after getting the money, unions, banks, etc..None of these would have an impact like mass tax cuts and less regulations for small business that create jobs at home. All incentives must be related to US job creation, not massive corp. breaks where the money will be invested to move yet more jobs overseas.
All corps are moving jobs overseas and would continue to do so regardless of tax breaks, let's work with those that work with us.

My only fear is big businessmen like Cain usually end up pandering to their friends, but rather risk that knowing the other runners will do so anyway.
