Herman Cain Brings Down the House at the Value Voters Summit; Says He Would Build Up U.S. Missile Defense and Tell Iran “Make My Day!” – Video 10/7/11

Here is video of Herman Cain speaking at the Value Voters Summit today where he brought the house down! Cain was on fire, hammering President Obama and laying out what he would do as President of the United States.

Cain struck many of the familiar themes he has shared during his campaign, but wove it together flawlessly and with some new material. He told the crowd that he would build up the missile defense capability of the United States, outfitting U.S. Warships with improved missile interception capability as one way of dealing with Iran. Cain said he would do so and then say to Iran, “Make my day!” (6:44 mark of the video)

He also added a new piece of information about his increasingly famous “999 Plan,” saying businesses that purchased material for their products in the United States would be able to deduct the amount spent from their business tax bill. But businesses that buy their material from overseas would not be able to. Charitable contributions would also be deductible.

Cain had the crowd on its feet and eating out of his hand throughout the speech. He did not use a teleprompter, and from all appearances, never looked at a note.

Many folks continue to dismiss Herman Cain. But with speeches like this, the Herman Cain Train is only going to gather more steam.

    Thanks for posting this Brian. I just saw the full 30 minutes at C-Span.
    Herman Cain Remarks to Values Voter Summit – C-SPAN Video Library

    When I first saw him a number of months ago–way before his actual jump in–I said “This is the black President this country was supposed to have.”

    And I sure hope so. He has got the FIRE! ! !  over and above anyone and is without question in my mind the BEST GOP choice.

    I’m not a fan of anyone who has no real record to prove to me they’ll stand firm on Social Conservative issues.  But if I can’t have Santorum, I won’t feel too bad voting for Cain.  He disappoints me in many areas, but I at least feel his heart is true to wanting to serve this nation and not just himself.  There isn’t anyone else on the stage that I feel that about (other than my first choice of course).

    And I see you didn’t post Santorum’s speech at the VVS.  It was a very moving and inspirational speech.  Too bad you didn’t see fit to post it.  (If I missed it, I apologize.)

    I didn’t see all of Santorum’s speech at VVS, Madjen. I was not at home to record it, but did catch the very end of it. It was moving, and he did seem to get a strong response from the audience. Probably had a lot to do with him finishing a strong third in the Straw Poll.

    This speech made me feel like Regan did, it gives me hope for a future that I was on the verge of believing wasn’t possible anymore. I and many Americans have been looking for someone to step forward with a message that has truth, from someone with truth in him or her. I believe we have found that person, a leader that will inspire the people and promote the strength, integrity and resilience of this nation. Now watch the Liberals go to work on destruction of this beautiful human being. We must stay strong, resist their lies, and message of defeat. We can put America back on top with Herman Cain as our leader, and he is a true leader, not a false profit like Obama.
