i'm more liking herman cain a lot. i think he addresses a lot of the problems. a tea party representative, and also that kind of blows that out of the water that the reason if you're with the team, it's -- it's not about color. it's about principle. one thing that another caller said that a lot of these candidates or hypocrites, what about obama being a hypocrite about our energy policy when canada wants to pipe in energy here and they don't want to pass that. they are vill phiing our oil companies but he gives noun brazil and says we're going to be their best customer. like herman cane says, we can be our own best customer and develop our own energy. and as far as the jobs situation, he really addresses that. and he's not having all these loopholes and citizenshiplations and also the e.p.a. running amuck making standards ridiculously high and all the corporate taxes and everything that it's hard for business to grow in this country. so i think he has really some strong issues that he is, you know, bringing up that can be, you know, good for our country. >> than

herman cain says if he were president he would be shaking things up on that economic team.hat be herman first off with the guy who leads it the treasury secretary? >> yes, it would neil. it really pains me to say nat best days of this presidency are behind us. simply because, the president has put no policies on the table, such as, reducing taxes for corporations and individuals. reducing eliminating taxes on repatriated proves and taking capital gains taxes to zero. the economic engine, the business sector is not getting any fuel that's why we are in this mess. now, the debt deal was supposed to avoid default, but it didn't. the stock markets started to signal that over the past couple of days. they were saying kicking the can down the road, by reducing the increase in the growth was not enough. so i think that more speeches are not going to help. another tour to listen to the wrong people is not going to help this president. >> neil: herman, i listened to ed henry very tied into the white house. the gardner barely talks to me there. i'm leaning one is the official, we sta

if you look at the ancillary items cain has, if cain becomes our republican nominee in this election,ll not be an issue. if the other candidates become the nominee, race will be the issue because they will let the media and the democrats make it an issue. they will lose. if cain becomes the nominee, republicans remove that arrow from the democratic quiver. guest: one thing i think will be an issue is just how much people like barack obama as a person. there is a difference between asking if you approve of somebody's job performance and if you have a favorable view of them. a lot of you out there disapprove of my performance but may have a favorable review of me. president obama's approval rating is mired in the 40's. that is a terrible sign for an incumbent. but people want him to succeed and do well. they want to like him. he has failed in a lot of their minds. the majority of americans disapprove of his job performance. if a significant portion of those who view him favorably give up on the prospect he can do well in this job, that is when his reelection campaign gets into serious t

if cain or santorum are ahead of him, i think he probably packs it up and hopes somebody selects hims vice president. >> as you say, he's a really nice guy that everyone likes. he was terrific at a breakfast here, a politico breakfast yesterday. funny and loose. when he gets into that formal campaign context, people don't see the real tim pawlenty. thank you very much -- >> and you know, in 2012, as you're well aware, republicans don't want a nice guy running against barack obama. they want somebody that is going to take it to obama. that's one of the reasons why donald trump enjoyed a quick explosion in the poll when -- the polls when he went after obama. even in the controversial way because people -- you know, there are a lot of leo durochers in the republican party. nice guys finish last they believe. and tim pawlenty is a very nice, decent guy, who had a good record in minnesota. that's why i suspect even if he has problems today, even if he gets out of the race, coming from minnesota, he's a guy that a lot of people might be looking for as a possible number two on the ticket. >

herman cain. tim pawlenty did fairly well. came in fourth. >> i think so. rick per swri only got into the race today but 718 of the faithful came in. true believers. mitt romney didn't play. so, generally we should pay attention to the top three. it's not a surprise. it would have been a larger story, if michelle bachmann had not placed in the top three. that she won is a good win for her. then we saw ron paul, who played last time, i believe came in fifth, obviously doing pretty well coming in second. that keeps him going and tim pawlenty third. the big question will be how, i think people will parce tim paw lenny dumpily. how can you say, i placed third and michelle bachmann and ron paul beat me. how does that keep you going? but it may well be enough to keep him going because third is presentable. and on down the line rick santorum said fifth. he placed fourth. herman cain. all of these folks, you have to igmore the rick perry and mitt romney ones because they didn't involve themselves in the s

>> dave: let's take the comments first about herman cain being paid to run by the g.o.p.what do you make of those comments, first, before we get into her acting itself? >> i mean, look, i think everyone has been very polite about this. she is ignorant and a bigot with the remarks she made are simply outrage just. could you imagine in 2008 if someone had said that barack obama was just a stocking horse to deflect racism in the democratic party for the inevitable coronation of hillary clinton? this is outrageous. the republican party has lock been a big tent. the party of lincoln had had senator edward brook representing massachusetts in the 1970s, which had its former chair michael steele and, of course, general colin powell, one of the most respect and admired americans today, i somehow don't think the republican party has an issue. i think janine garofalo and loony left have an issue. >> dave: that's an important point. take her acting. herman cain says she has been given too much credit by being called a march jingle bellly talented actress. let's now critique her actin

[applause] in a cain presidency, i will never do an apology to work. we have nothing to apologize for. the founding fathers got it right. the founding fathers got it right when they said "we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." it did not say anything about a guarantee. it said the "pursuit of happiness." it did not say we need to establish a department of happy in washington, d.c. we do not have a department of happy in washington, d.c. but the pursuit of happiness is under attack. it is under attack, but we can take it back. that is one of the reasons is i am running for president. we have become a nation of crisis, but we can fix it. we have an economic crisis. we have an entitlement spending crisis. we have an immigration crisis. we have an energy crisis. we have a fall in the foreign- policy crisis. the biggest crisis we have is a deficiency of leadership crisis. the biggest one.

with the likes of presidential candidates michelle bachmann, ron paul and herman cain. who say the spending has got to stop. dennis kucinich says the spending has to double. and mark zhan did who says republicans and -- democrats have talk. before that, the latest on what is happening now. georgia republican jack kingston calling on congress to reconvene immediately to pass a new deal. the congressman will be here later this hour. china wasting no time saying, the good old days of borrowing are over. in europe, g-7 finance ministers will meet to discuss the impact of the downgrade. dow losing 700 points this week, before the s&p announcement. saudi arabia the first market on earth to trade on this news, since this news it want pretty. stocked down 5 1/2%. the problem is not the downgrade, it is debt that brought it on. a message that seem to the best getting lost. my next guest ron paul on the phone. congressman, you weren't and aren't surprised, but what now? >> it looks like we are in for big trouble because we haven't dealt with the problem. i'm surprised it took the
