By Herman CainJune 18, 2011Writer Ari Berman of the left-wing magazine The Nation wrote last week that if jobs are the issue that decides the election, Barack Obama should be the winner.Huh?OK, it’s The Nation. You weren’t expecting rational analysis, were you? But the piece is worth reading for what it reveals about left-wing thought on how you create jobs. […]

By Herman CainJune 10, 2012If President Obama believed he had a good economic record, he would be presenting that record to the American people as it really is. It tells you a lot that the president is so willing to distort the facts – especially on the matter of his spending.A few weeks ago, a writer named Rex Nutting wrote a column for the Wall Street Jour […]

By Herman CainJune 4, 2012If a pollster calls you at some point during this election season, one of the strangest questions they ask you could be:“Who would you rather have a beer with?”And you didn’t know the president would be inviting you to the White House for a beer, or picking you up after work to take you to Joe’s Bar. Because, of course, he won’t. Bu […]

By Herman CainMay 28, 2012Anyone trying to solve a problem, turn around an organization or lead a nation needs something. They need a plan.Without a plan, you have no roadmap for how you’ll correct things that are wrong. You have no way of measuring whether you’re making progress. You have no method of holding yourself accountable for the results of your act […]

By: Herman CainMay 21, 2012 One of the worst tendencies of Washington politicians is to purportedly “fix” big problems with small solutions. Who can forget members of Congress, announcing at the conclusion of last year’s debt-ceiling showdown that they had agreed to a deal that would reduce the deficit by $1 trillion over 10 years? When you consider that the […]

By Herman CainMay 14, 2012I believe in democracy, and in the wisdom of ordinary people to make good decisions when they have all the information and understand the situation.These are core principles for me, so I found them challenged this past week when voters in France and Greece acted in a way that seemed to clearly demonstrate otherwise. With much of Eur […]

By Herman CainMay 7, 2012 Remember when Democrats, including a certain senator named Barack Obama, used to scream that President George W. Bush was abusing his executive powers?Those were the good old days!Since becoming president, Obama has turned the abuse of executive power into a high art form – especially since Republicans took control of the House of R […]

By Herman CainApril 30, 2012As we move into the general election campaign, with Mitt Romney facing Barack Obama in the presidential race, it’s important not to lose perspective on the very real differences between the two. That starts with the recognition that Obama has made some astonishingly ill-conceived decisions as president, and that Romney would never […]

April 23, 2012By Herman CainIt's tough being the underdog in any fight. But if a group of underdogs get together and work together, they can win. That's the American people up against big government. We the People are fighting the political class.The federal government has become too big, too bureaucratic, and too controlling of our everyday lives, […]

I have to give President Obama this: He is not very good at governing, but he has a rare talent for making it appear that he’s at least talking about solutions to problems, when in fact he is talking about total nonsense that doesn’t solve anything.Granted, it helps that the media who are supposed to be holding your feet to the fire are credulous sycophants […]
