don't be ridiculous. the dems made no excuses for obama. if you are in big business at high levels, you understand politics very well and you must either know how to play or be so superior in your job that it does not make as large a difference. however in big biz if you are not able to cope with the politics, you won't move up very far. cain moved up very far several times in big biz. cain has the political skills and the people skills to get along with congress and anyone else he meets.

"Isn't this the excuse the Democrats used for Obama?" Probably a stretch to equate Cain and Obama. They have virtually nothing in common. If the thought is "Obama did a bunch of stuff and then he got elected president and was really bad at it. Cain did a bunch of stuff and if he gets elected will probably be bad at it", I guess I'd go along with you. Of course if that is as deeply as one wishes to look into what 'a bunch of stuff' consists of, anybody running for president is in the same boat. I like to think that of what their 'bunch of stuff' consists (to construct a very awkward but grammatically correct sentence, I think, maybe) has some bearing. ARS
