Anyone who thinks that Greenspan was the best Fed Reserve chairman over the last 40 years is clearly not very well educated on the economy....either that or he is just looking for brownie points with his old boss. Horrible either way.

I actually thought it was a joke or I didnt hear him correctly....cant believe anyone would actually say that and be serious about it. I don't even think Greenspan was ever Andrea Mitchell's favorite Fed Chairman.

Yeah and did you hear the laughter and outright guffaws from the audience after Ron Paul reacted to his answer
and said Greenspan was a disaster?

RON PAUL DOUBLE PWNS HERMAN CAIN AND DISSES ALAN GREENSPAN - YouTube

You do know Cain did not start Godfather pizza, don't you?
As entrepreneurial as you may want Cain to appear to be,
that simply is not the case. He was an employee most of
his life. He was hired by Pillsbury to run Burger King, as
well as take over operations at Godfather. And no, Godfather
was not bankrupt when Cain was appointed CEO for the chain, by Pillsbury.

And I could say that about any institution. But in the USA we have the opportunity to do better..............we can do better...........the one thing I like about Clinton. How can we put out congress and bring people with that attitude?

Congress has nothing to do with Cain believing that the policy and logic that Greenspan applied was a healthy way to try and manipulate the economy. I don't care who is responsible for the decisions and how they got there, I care that Cain thinks the ideas and decisions were the best way to do things.

Obviously, he is more "Able/Abel" than Cain, and they, those subversives on the left are ready to destroy him, if they can. Watch what they do even more than what they say.

Look at all Cain has done, Wow, a HUUGE resume! Top notch.....one Donald Trump and B. Gates should be envious, of, and every other president we've ever had, and Obama?! Pitifully lacking~
