Cain and his portfolio of women continues

One of the pertinent questions left out in the Cain-Ginger White affair is whether Gloria Cain knows Ms. White. If in fact her husband had a legitimate friendship with another woman for 13 years, certainly the wife would know about this.

We're not speaking of rocket science, but of logical investigative techniques. Also, when candidate Cain was asked whether White was lying about a 13-year sexual relationship, he simply stated let's see what the allegations are. If in fact there was no sexual relationship, he would have stated emphatically that this was a straight-up lie. Either there was a sexual relationship or he's the most inept person running for president in the history of the United States.

In either case, all this does is call into question his qualifications for becoming president of our nation. The simple reason is, if Cain is having affairs he's opening himself to blackmail and compromise, which can affect his decisionmaking. If Cain hasn't had affairs and is not capable of conveying that fact with clear, definitive answers, then he is not in possession of the qualities of character that will be beneficial to our nation, which brings me back to the issue I have with Washington now. Leadership.

At a time that very well may go down in history as one of the turning points for Western civilization, what we need more than anything are competent leaders. Hermain Cain, who showed so much promise early on, has appeared wholly unable to lead himself out of the darkness that has befallen his presidential campaign. How on earth is he going to lead the U.S. back to the heights of prosperity?
