If you're dissatisfied with the economy, or unemployed, Herman Cain thinks you should take a long, hard look in the mirror.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal posted Wednesday, the up-and-coming GOP 2012 contender and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza summed up his bewilderment about recent demonstrations on Wall Street.

"Don't blame Wall Street," Cain said. "Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself."

The conservative radio talk show host described the protests as "planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration, though he admitted he didn't "have the facts to back this up."

Talk about someone living in an ivory tower.

1. Because Herb is just sooo much smarter than the average person. That's why he's rich. Plus he's one

of the few Black Americans who can think for themselves.

What an ego on this Pizza Man.

2. And let me add that it was because of both Black and White people who DIED, for civil rights

that he's had opportunities to succeed.

Gah, I really can't stand him.

5. Rich people are always spouting this nonsense.

They believe it too. Otherwise, they would be forced to admit that they're no smarter than anybody else, and that their success is due, at least in part to plain dumb luck. There are plenty of people out there who are just as intelligent, had just as good an idea, worked just as hard, but failed.


You succeed by taking chances; they are called "chances" because there is no guarantee they will succeed.

6. Hey Cain, the problem is not that I am not rich - the problem is that

I am not able to have a normal middle class lifestyle like my working parents had. You know buy a modest home, eat a healthy diet, go to the doctor, educate my children, etc. We do not even have the basics anymore because the cost has gone up and the jobs have gone away.

Is he so stupid that he does not even understand this? Why doesn't he as the employees at his pizza joint if they are making a living wage?

7. Where is the sense of community obligation?

8. "I GOT MINE!! I GOT MINE!!!"

Yep, all of us can sure pay these bills on either the long odds of a crapshoot or 6 applicants for every ONE job, Hermster.

What stupid deluded bastards some people are.

9. "But make sure and blame Democrats when you go to vote!"
