http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/25/politics/ben-carson-obama-psychopath-gq/ Ben Carson says President Barack Obama is a psychopath. His comment came in an exchange between the neurosurgeon who's likely to mount a bid for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination and his chief adviser, Armstrong Williams, captured by a GQ reporter on the night of this year's State of the Union address. Williams had said Obama looked "elegant" that night. And Carson responded: "Like most psychopaths. That's why they're successful. That's the way they look. They all look great." Later in the exchange, Carson accused Obama of knowingly selling the American public "a lie." "He's trying to sell what he thinks is not true!" Carson reportedly said. "He's sitting there saying, 'These Americans are so stupid I can tell them anything.'" It's the latest in a long string of controversial comments from Carson, who's touted himself as an outsider -- someone who isn't a career politician and doesn't carry himself as one. His blunt comments about Obama have been part of Carson's appeal to conservatives who have detested the President during his six-plus years in office. Carson has also compared Obama's signature health care law to "slavery," and said homosexuality is a choice because some people enter prison straight and leave it gay.
I used to admire the fuck out of this dude. I've got his bio book around my house somewhere. He sounds like he started smoking crack about 5 years ago.
That makes one of us! It just goes to show that book smarts and common sense can be mutually exclusive. It takes a ton of book knowledge and dedication to become a surgeon but it seems like's going out of his way to sound as ridiculous as possible every time he gets in front of a microphone.
Ben carson was definitely a role model to me too His ass came from nothing but still became one of the greats in medicine. That couldn't have been easy and I'm willing to assume he caught shit for being black. As someone who grew up in the projects, I identify with those stories. People don't expect much from you and it's always fun to prove them wrong. Now...now it's like watching a bad guy WWE wrestler You want to believe they're good people outside the ring...and that they take on a different persona for entertainment
I can definitely respect his accomplishments. But at this point I can't separate his accomplishments from the political views and the stupid shit that he seems to say on a daily basis. To me, they are one and the same.
I've always loved his life story. Makes me sad and disappointed to read some of the things that he's quoted as saying.
Goodlove,the good doctor has assosciated with the wrong people who think he would be "their" Obama who could trash Blacks.
This is why many choose to keep their political, racial, and religious leanings private Regardless of what he does in those realms, he's a great surgeon who overcame a level of childhood adversity that makes many people crumble I mean shit, it's not like he's physically hurting people with his views
