Dr. Carson does a lot of motivational speaking at corporate events, philantropic/charity events and (Black) churches.

Yes, I do... don't most sane people?? Senator = elected political official; Doctor = ummm, doctor. What am I missing here?

Funny how everyone claimed Obama's Senatorial seat wasn't enough, in terms of political experience - now you're championing a man with NO political background? Hypocritical much?

That piece of crap isn't worthy of taking out my trash!
The fact that you even think I "worship" Obama shows how little you know about me... no big surprise, since you're famous for irrational knee-jerk reactions and gross generalizations.

Hint: I'm an independent libertarian type, who supported Johnson in the last election. D'oh!

Depends on which way he leans... if he's a Democrat it makes him unqualified, if he's a Republican it makes him the next Ronald Reagan.

2/3 is still more than the ZERO attended & held by Dr. Carson! Look, I'm sure he is a nice and intelligent man, but the next POTUS? I think that's quite a stretch, don't you? Be honest now.

Not really, and you get no points for creativity either - seeing as the same stupid joke has already been made.

AGAIN, Obama was a Senator. I don't care what you think of him personally or politically, a Senator is still technically more qualified than a doctor with no political background... even if he gave the most riveting speech since MLK's "I have a dream."

But whatever... it's still FOUR (almost) years until the next election, and I'm sure you will all have forgotten about him by then. If not and he does run for President, I wish him the best of luck. Isn't it kinda silly to be projecting this so early, especially in regards to somebody who's not even in politics? I can see predicting Ryan, Rand, Clinton, even friggin' Sarah Palin before some random doctor.

That is what the left thought about President Obama.

Ben Carson brings something more to the table - actual leadership experience.

Its not easy being in charge of a surgical team, especially when they are separating conjoined twins for the first time ever.

The liberals are those who didn't realize that they went through indoctrination camps.

Conservatives are those who went through the same camps, but took the time and made the effort to think criticlaly about what they were force fed - and thus came to a better conclusion and world view.

If you like being a sheep - by all means remain a liberal and vote the straight Democratic ticket.

Baaaa.

But the response will be inevitable: Dr. Carson is a rube, a stupid idiot, a dolt, a heartless supporter of the Top 2% or whatever the proportion is now, etc. These are the things they call EVERY conservatives when rthey can't refute most of what he says. The question is not IF they will begin these attacks on Dr. Carson, but WHEN.

Why is it taking them so long? It's been more than a week.

Anyone want to guess when they will have reduced him, in their own minds at least, to "Goofy" or "McCarthy" status?
You seem to be doing a great job of it, so why expect it of us?
