A new profile in GQ magazine quotes presidential hopeful Ben Carson likening President Barack Obama to a psychopath.
In the piece for the magazine’s April 2015 issue, Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and conservative darling, reacted to Obama’s State of the Union address. Carson’s business manager said the president looks good, and Carson responded by likening the president to a “psychopath.”
“Like most psychopaths,” Carson grumbled. “That’s why they’re successful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.”

It doesn’t take one to know one.
A conservative darling? Hardly.
This isn’t news to most of us. What does the psychiatrist, Charles Krauthammer, have to say?
He’s a brain surgeon. He should know. I hope we don’t need to get a second opinion.

No argument from me.
BTW, has Charles Krauthammer been right about anything since, say, 2006?
Anything professionals COULD say, SHOULD have been said long ago....because it’s been obvious for a very long time. “O” didn’t JUST become delusional and incompetent.
It would be nice to hear from them, though.
He is to some.....though not my “particular brand of vodka” to quote Danny Ocean.
How long before he ‘apologizes’ for this comment?
Good question. Maybe someone will ax him.
I take it you disagree with Carson? Or is it that he isn't politically correct enough for you?
Perhaps this can be determined by a disection of his brain? Is Carson a nuero micro surgeon??
Despite the truth of his statement, it is unlikely that this comment will go over well with the average low-information voter. This being so, the Drive-Bys will hammer him with this statement, bringing it up over and over: “So Dr Carson, do you really think that the President is a psychopath?” He should know better than to spout off like this.
And this ain’t gonna play out well for Ben. As such, Carson won’t get the votes, thus narrowing the true conservative field even further, which ultimately is a good thing.
I lean more toward “narcissistic sociopath” myself.
He has also repeatedly likened the current administration to Nazi Germany. The guy’s just not ready for prime time.
You hit the nail on the head. I have one in my life.....it fits perfectly......have you done much reading on it ?
Dr. Ben is a nice guy. When he becomes the first of the quasi-candidates to politely drop out of the presidential race he will confirm that.
Yeah. He should also know to be very careful and avoid absolute statements about mental health or life styles.
"Obama exhibits many characteristics found in psychopaths" would be much better.
Ben Carson's not presidential material. He should've run for US Sonate or HOR last election. Then we'd know how he did on the campaign trail and how he would vote in DC.
