There are few, if any, who level superficial criticism against Dr. Ben Carson, who in their own right have accomplished as much as he, against such odds.
He is a living embodiment of the American Dream. He is the perfect antidote to the virus spread by the Dark Side. His optimistic, common sense voice will be anathema to the Doomsayers of the Left.
I cheer his rise to prominence and welcome his presence on the national stage. The world and our nation need to hear more from Dr Carson.
I didn’t say he was NOT a great man- I agree he clearly is, and I hope he does stay on the center stage.
But I don’t see an entirely different quality called “leadership” in him.
In order to lead you have to have the type of personality that makes people want to follow. Reagan had it in spades. Bill Clinton oozed it from his pores. (although he clearly did NOT deserve it)
Ben Carson is a great man but I don’t see this in him, and his repeated stumbling over conservative comments is troubling.
He was probably a great leader in the medical field where his brilliance led people to look up to him. I don’t see people looking up to him for political brilliance- even though he has expressed great conservative ideals (at times)
No matter how much you ‘earned the right’ to leadership, you cannot get it that way- Leadership ability is like charisma- you have it or you don’t.

Well said. I hadn’t seen him on television before and was very impressed, even more so now that I’ve read a bit about him.
It’s too bad that the media can take advantage of his articulate comments and make him look bad, something that’s easy for them to do (because people aren’t curious or informed about issues).
