Oct. 7, 2011--Herman Cain addresses the 2011 Values Voter Summit.  Cain's star has been rising since he won the Presidency 5 straw poll; in his remarks he observed "you know, when you run for president and you move into the top tier--I'm just saying--then you get this bull's eye on your back."  Cain delivered his standard standard stump speech starting with a familiar quote.  "One of my heroes, Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, used to remind the young men of Morehouse when he said:  'Let it be borne in mind that the tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals.  The tragedy lies in not having any goals to reach for.  It's not a tragedy to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity to have no dreams.'"
