Herman Cain: Half the (inaugural) balls of Obama?

Herman Cain talks a lot about what kind of ship he would run as president. No Sharia Law. And fewer balls because, as he says, "I don't need it."

From the New York Times:

As president, he would insist that White House personnel have a copy of the Constitution nearby, would be on the lookout for signs that Shariah law is infiltrating American courts, and — perhaps in a true sign of self-confidence — would cut the number of inaugural balls in half.

“Balls are a waste of time!” he said. “That’s why I’m not going to do 18 inaugural balls, I already told my staff. It’s going to be quite an honor to be president of the United States. But I am less concerned about the pomp and circumstance. I don’t need it.”
