    work yourself through college maybe :idea:

    learn a trade or a skill that adds value :idea:

    have a backup plan if that doesn't work :idea:

    or, just blame those who succeed while you sit and suck at life

    So do you think Wall Street has no responsibility in the current economic situation? Or you acknowledge it, but your response is that people just need to adjust their marketable skills?

    Either way and your allowing people to act irresponsibly, but at the same time, preaching that people need to be responsible.

    exactly.

    I've talked to all my racist, redneck friends who hate all people with skin darker then Tom Petty (a.k.a. tea party supporters) and they ALL favor Cain at this point in the debates.

    And it looks like the latest polls do as well.

    Cain leads Republican field in NBC/WSJ poll

    As for me, I'll worry about it more in a year. At least the top two front-runners have business experience and it looks like the blowhards are fading away.

    A battle against cancer. Probably the most important win a person can attain.

    I don't understand the point. Don't we all agree we hate politicians? So, here's someone that has no political background and is an outsider (realizing that nobody ascending to this level is truly an outsider - but in relative terms).

    Isn't that a good thing?
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I just don't buy the fact that a good business man makes a good public leader. Two completely different ball games, a business, you can choose who you serve, what you serve, etc... Government can't really do that. I'm not saying businessmen/women CAN'T make good leaders, but I don't think it's anymore of a prerequisite for being a good politician than anything else.

    i thought someone having "no experience" was a bad thing??????

    if it is not a bad thing, then what was all that criticism of obama being inexperienced then???

    oh that's right, that was 3 years ago and times have changed...back then it was easier to argue that than to argue against the man's vision and what he wanted to accomplish...

    how does being a businessman prepare someone for how to handle foreign policy issues like wars and potential human rights violations and dealing with the countries in the UN?

    Actually, you're reading into what I was saying. I don't think either way makes a difference. I disagree with those that say you need a political background. We just need someone that knows what they're doing.

    Obama was a bad choice for President (Which is proving prescient). Even if he had been a career politician that would have been true. (unfortunately, McCain would have been a bad choice, too - and therein lies the problem. Why eliminate a non-politician of that simple reason).

    It's all human interaction. In business, you come across all walks of life with all different perspectives. You must navigate that successfully to get to the places he's gotten.

    Additionally, you have to surround yourself with good people and know when to listen to experts to manage a situation. Foreign policy is no different.

    Quite frankly, a business background probably prepares you better for this sort of stuff than sitting in congress or being a Governor. Unless you're Rudy Giuliani, you probably haven't dealt with foreign powers while in office (and he was "only" a mayor!).

    This is funny. If you don't understand how getting to the top of your profession is part politician, you probably don't work in business. At the highest level, business is international politics. Yes, you serve different purposes. But, one experience does lend itself to success in another. As a matter of fact, it may prove even better, as you would have a different perspective on conflict resolution that might serve you well. Do you really think talking to the leader of another country is all that different that talking to a leader of a multinational company? Well, wait. You may be right. The latter would probably be smarter.
