A more nuanced story about Ben Carson's relationship with the African American community (Iran, Obama)

Though this piece doesn't get it entirely right, it's about the closest piece I've seen about this topic that even comes close to approaching a modicum of truth.

"Obamacare is the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery"

The failure of Reconstruction, the Tuskegee experiments, the WW2 internment camps, MKULTRA, the 60s race riots, Iran-Contra, Hurricane Katrina and the near-total collapse of our financial system... none of those compare to the horrors of Obamacare? Gimme a break.

That statement just proves that he's a dishonest person.

And if he actually believes that, then he's simply too crazed and delusional to be trusted with the office of the presidency.

Being a doctor, the odds are better of him one day checking the orifice of a President, than they are of him obtaining the office of the Presidency.

He was raised by a mother who instilled values. He doesn't stand a chance. No big money will back a decent man.

Hey, since he's much more black than Obama, who am I to question him on it.

[cb73]

Since he's a black Republican, he must be destroyed.

Carry on.

If they signed the declaration of independence then obviously they were more than doctors at the time.

Carson would go directly from DR. to Pres.

I do not agree with everything he says, but he has a couple good points, especially about education and Obamacare. Obamacare cannot be compared to slavery though. That was a stretch.
