Kitts: "Oregon, Oregon, Oregon"

Derrick Kitts writes:

"Oregon, Oregon, Oregon." Yes, you read that right... Oregon. Tim Russert famously boiled the 2000 presidential contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore to "Florida, Florida, Florida" but believe it or not, 2012 is shaping up to be all about the Beaver State. Read more at Huffington Post...

Herman Cain Mulling Presidential Run

7/30/2010 by John Eidson (via email/PART 1) - WorldNetDaily reports that tea party activist Herman Cain is considering a campaign to become America's second black president by ousting its first in the election two years from now. (Actually, Cain would be the country's first 100% black president.) ∴ Although unable to match then-Sen. Barack Obama's impressive presidential qualifications -- 20 years as a community organizer -- Cain has a few of his own: former president and CEO of Godfather's Pizza, former president and CEO of the National Restaurant Association,and chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City. He's also been vice president of Burger King, vice president of Pillsbury Company, a mathematician for the U.S. Department of the Navy and a business analyst for Coca Cola. ∴ His formal education includes a bachelors degree in mathematics from Morehouse College and a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University.

A man in love with his country...
The indignities of growing up in a segregated society gave Herman Cain every reason to be filled with hate and bitterness. But much to his credit, he never allowed himself to be influenced by people who see America as a fundamentally unjust and incurable racist place, people like William Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Recognizing that no nation has ever done more to make good on wrongs committed against it own citizens, Herman Cain forged his share of the American dream by seeing his country for what it is -- a land of unlimited opportunity that never stops trying to improve. To judge him for yourself, click here to see him discuss the hardships his parents endured, and his full-throated endorsement of Ronald Reagan's belief that America is the last best hope of mankind.

Is the tea party movement racist?
If anyone should know, that person is Herman Cain -- he is one of the tea party's most prominent members. Read what he has to say here. Read More......
