Dr. Benjamin Carson refutes Barack Obama's agenda at National Prayer Breakfast

Illinois Review ^ | 02/07/13 | Illinois Review

[Illinois Review]

At yesterday's National Prayer Breakfast, Dr. Benjamin Carson, a celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, gave a 25-minute keynote address that refuted the key tenets of President Barack Obama’s liberal agenda – with Obama sitting just feet away.

It is a beautiful thing to watch.

I'd vote for the guy for President in a heartbeat.

[Obadiah]

I like this guy and want to know more. But I’ll just bet he’s really not Black enough.

I am greatly encouraged by people like LLoyd Marcus, Mia Love, Allen West and others who are now picking up the mantle of leadership from the fraud like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

[skeeter]

Good to know there are people out there telling it like it is, in this case to the president's face.

Its a crime - literally - that the MSM refuse to cover them. There must be a way to prosecute a media conglomerate who twist & suppress information to effect a political outcome.

Read "GIFTED HANDS" and you will see the story of this man unfold before your eyes. Powerful.

The movie by the same name is well done but I recommend the book for a deeper understanding of what formed and sustains this man.

No one at the “University” has made him disavow/walk-back his comments yet?

Cool!

I heard Dr. Carson speak at a fundraiser for a local charter school, about ten years ago. His is a most inspiring story.

[CORedneck]

Dr. Benjamin Carson for POTUS !

[Josephat]

Watch Obama during this video. He never once applauds and the only time he cracks a smile is when Sessions,I think, says something to him. He is downright rude to the Doctor.

[old and tired]

I'm not really familiar with the National Prayers breakfast - is it normally a forum for this sort of contrary speech?

I love this guy so I'm not sure I care one way or the other, but I'd be interested to know.

When I graduated fm UMUC back in 2004, he gave the address. I had never heard of the guy and was afraid I was going to hear an anti-American screed. I was immensely surprised and gladdened by his speech. A good man with a true belief in the American way and America.

I’ll bet you could hear Barry’s teeth grinding.

We’d vote for him in a heartbeat, but like Colin and Condi and Marco and...we don’t really know how conservative their whole record, and how much we’re just enjoying the parts he’s sharing that please us.

We just don’t know.
