Herman Cain: I like this guy

  Herman Cain is a likable guy. He has experience in the business world, although a political novice.
  Writers and other sites have chewed him out because he did not know what the "right of return" was when Wallace asked him Sunday.
  Pathetic gadfly was the determination of Cain's nomination.
  This really rankles an interested political novice like those of us out here in the hinterlands. It's not a buzz phrase, they claim, but anybody who knows ANYTHING about politics should KNOW that phrase and its portent. It's been all over TELEVISION, after all, the last few weeks.
  And so it goes.
  One Republican or conservative candidate after another is leaped on for this or that gaffe, while Al Gore can wonder who the bust of Ben Franklin is and Obama can say that this country is made up of 57 states.
  While it's true that some mistakes are indeed made out of ignorance rather than slips of the tongue, one might wonder: What's so wrong about that? Is it possible to know everything about everything?
  Do we really want senators and congressmen to be our presidents because they know the buzz phrases and names of obscure politicians? Is that what the standard is?
  Do we really want a president who can glibly respond, however disingenuously, to any question a Fox or CNN reporter can throw at him or her?
  If you've never been president, the questions should ascertain that your character is one of integrity, honesty, leadership and maturity, rather than gotcha moments in attempts to discredit. Vet, yes. Gotcha, no.
  Herman Cain responds to accusations that he wasn't informed about the phrase "right of return."
  No, he says. I wasn't.
