5 Reasons Why Ben Carson Would Be A Better President Than Barack Obama
2014-11-08
Dunno. He has the creds, but don't think he has "The Fire In The Belly" to do the required magic. Maybe I' wrong. Would prefer Allen West.

#11  So far, I know he is confused on race relations. Sounds missive of the true points.
Also, am told he has a gun grabber mentality.

#8  One fixes twins joined at their crania,
One focused on rodent extranea;
One ponders the mirror,
The other, head clearer,
Could treat his own megalomania.

Bushy-tailed rodents, even.

#5  If I recall, he's got some issues that will cause the NRA to stay home on election day. We really don't want that many voters staying home on election day.

There is still a lot of time to get ahead of that issue, redefine his positions, but he better get started if he's serious.

#4  How about restricting your presidency to people who done, at least, two consecutive terms as state governor? I ain't kidding.

#3  Dr. Carson is brilliant in his field, and has some keen insights into the human condition. But he is not a seasoned politician at any level; should he seriously compete in the political arena, he'll get eaten alive, just like the several others who've tried it in the past. Still, his very presence will force discussions into new channels until he is driven away.

#2  It really shouldn't take a brain surgeon, but yes thanks to modern chemistry, confused genes, and old fashioned indolence, we're pretty much at the other end of the synaptic spectrum.

#1  Talk about setting the bar low. Most any sentient, reasonably moral, person in the US would be a better PotUS than the PoS.
