I mentioned that speech yesterday in another thread. He stands at the podium, Obama is 2 seats away, and he confronted Obama like no one has ever confronted him. He is not afraid.
Though I am also puzzled about his climb...as far as I can tell he gets no exposure, on TV anyway. So it must be grass roots support when he's campaigning that is sending his numbers higher.
After Carson’s tête-à-tête with Obama, he was audited by the IRS. He later bragged in his understated way that the IRS couldn’t find anything on him due to his fine accountants.
