Fast-rising GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO emerging as a strong contender in the Iowa caucuses, blasted President Barack Obama's leadership abilities in an exclusive Newsmax interview, saying Obama "could not run one Godfather's pizza restaurant."

Cain, who has been rising fast in the polls after his impressive showing in last month's presidential debate in South Carolina, called the president as an indecisive leader who has lost most Americans' confidence.

"The president has demonstrated that he lacks leadership in a whole lot of ways [and] could not run a company," Cain told Newsmax. "And I don't mean to be disrespectful: He could not run one Godfather's pizza restaurant.

"Instead of being decisive, he dithers," Cain said.
