Why would that concern me? For the time being, the Federal Reserve is the central banking system in the United States. It would be great to have President who understands the inner workings of the Fed and the impact its policies have on the economy.

A whole 8% of Republicans recently polled are spermin' over Herman.

But.....wait:
Results are based on telephone interviews conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking May 9-22, 2011, with random samples of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Questions asking about the 10 candidates and potential candidates measured in this research were rotated among randomly selected samples of Republicans each night; over the 14-day period, each candidate was rated by a minimum of 1,500 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Isn't that an invalid sample size?

This is all the more reason to get rid of the fed.

Turns out that Hermie has a few skeletons in his closet that do not appeal to the the dwinding few Teatards who make up the hard core right-wing nutbase.
"....he backed TARP at the height of the financial crisis in 2008 - calling it a “recovery plan.” He slammed opponents of the program on the right...Despite Cain’s claims to the contrary, he is defending the Federal Reserve. And it doesn’t reflect the behavior of someone claiming to be a conservative."

The Hermanator has trouble on the ethics front, too.
...."If our skepticism of him before was baseless, it certainly isn’t now.
“Cain clearly believes that his pro-business message is what GOP voters want to hear. So much so, in fact, that on Saturday he officially unveiled his candidacy for the 2012 GOP nomination.
But scrubbed from Cain’s official story is his long tenure as a director at a Midwest energy corporation named Aquila that, like the infamous Enron Corporation, recklessly drove into the wild west of energy trading and speculation – and ultimately screwed its employees out of tens of millions of dollars,” Mother Jones reports.
According to a massive class action lawsuit against Aquila’s board of directors – including Cain – he allegedly steered employees into heavily investing their retirement savings in company stock, while at the same time shifting their business model from straightforward energy generation to risky energy trading – the kind of corporate greed that infamously brought down Enron, Mother Jones reports.
In the suit, it claims that Cain and other top officials violated a 37-year-old federal law that requires employers to responsibly manage the retirement programs for their employees.
Their pensions and life savings were lost.
Thus far, Cain has been running as the pro-business candidate who successfully turned around the failing Godfather’s Pizza franchise after working in the corporate offices of the Pillsbury Company.
His lack of political experience is always countered by touting his decades’ worth of success in business.
Positions at Godfather’s, Pillsbury and his post as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City are listed as part of his official campaign biography.
His part in the major downfall of Aquila – where he was on the board of directors for much of the 1990s and early 2000s – is nowhere to be found.
Yes, it is expected for a candidate to try and hide his skeletons, but he should also expect to eventually be exposed.
Herman Cain, you are exposed.
