This is a great interview. Dr. Ben Carson tells how his mom pushed him to better himself and then talks about why he spoke the truth in front of the president.
This is a great interview. Dr. Ben Carson tells how his mom pushed him to better himself and then talks about why he spoke the truth in front of the president.
Dr. Ben Carson, a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon who helped lead the first surgery separating twins joined at the head, has received a fair amount of attention in his 61 years. But none of it before begins to compare to the response he has gotten since he spoke at the February 7 National Prayer Breakfast with President Obama sitting five feet away.
While most of his remarks were motivational or spiritual, he made some pointed political comments about the need for freer markets in health care and a less complicated tax code that includes a flat tax. He also issued a warning that the U.S. was in danger of following the path of ancient Rome’s “moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility.”
“The response has been overwhelming,” Carson told me in an interview this week from his office at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He had just come from taping an hour-long panel discussion with opinion leaders that will air on Fox News tonight at 9 p.m. He can’t count how many people have urged him to run for office in the past week. The Wall Street Journal editorial page even ran a headline, “Ben Carson for President.”
But as much as he appreciates the media attention to his message, he says the “most touching responses to my speech have come from elderly Americans, who told me they had given up on our nation, and now they feel that maybe there’s a chance.” Carson insists that he’s a member of no political party. “If I were part of one, it would be called the ‘Logic party,’ and it would be dedicated to commonsense approaches we all should be able to see.” Among them would be “recognizing that our debt is so great we have got to stop digging the hole and spend less.”

This guy is way too smart and makes way too much sense to ever be a leader in this country...
Unless you want to demonize and prey on other people's resentments you have no chance in politics in the United States...

This DR is extremely intelligent More importantly, he realizes his role as a citizen is to dissent when it truly is needed despite any political affiliations Furthermore, even as a highly respected MD he understands and realizes Rome is on FIRE and he will most likely , end up being an impuned PATRIOT in the process
Dr, Ben Carson, You are a Great American
This is EXACTLY the kind of voices this Great nation needs to hear at this very critical juncture in her history

Dr. Ben Carson rebuffed multiple requests from the White House for an advance copy of his speech for the National Prayer Breakfast earlier this month, a speech in which he criticized President Barack Obama sitting just a few feet away.
I told them that I don’t have an advance copy because I don’t write out my speeches and I don’t use teleprompters …they asked more than once … I gave them the [Biblical] texts around which the remarks would be framed … I said read those texts, the remarks will be framed around those … that should have told them something,” Carson told The Hill.
The White House didn’t comment on Carson’s disclosure.

Is it sad that I grew up in Metro Detroit and had no idea that Ben Carson went to Southwestern High School until just now? (I wiki'd him) Yet I have known since I was in the 6th grade that Jalen Rose went to that high school.
