Herman Cain, the Godfather Pizza former CEO who’s expecting a first quarter 2012 announcement, has written an editorial for North Star National. He asks us not to forget 2010 and not to forget what the Democratic leadership has done to this country. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Don’t forget what President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress did in 2010 – and tell everybody who will listen! And if they do not get outraged, then they are sleeping under a rock and they can’t get out.

Pure politicians have for years depended on voters to forget their misdeeds leading up to the next election. But things are different! Voters are not as stupid and uninformed as they used to be. People are more informed and aware of the arrogance of the current administration and Congress than ever before…Let’s not forget that this administration and Democrat-controlled Congress increased the national debt by nearly $4 trillion in two years. This is the same increase in debt during the Bush administration in eight years.

Let’s not forget that this administration and Congress authorized over $860 billion in stimulus spending, which did not stimulate anything except voter outrage. The president and his economic advisors even said that it would keep the unemployment rate under 8 percent. It’s been over 9 percent ever since.

Let’s not forget the promises of transparency. Didn’t happen! Let’s not forget the promise of “the most ethical Congress in history” by Speaker Pelosi. Didn’t happen! (Can we say Representative Charlie Rangel and Representative Maxine Waters?)

It’s the right kind of rhetoric for a budding Presidential campaign.
