Do we have a new political Justin Beiber?

I’m seriously hoping you were in no way comparing Dr Carson with the bieber... Dr Carson is probably retiring in the next year.... so it will be interesting to see what he does next.

I do not normally comment in a negative fashion on previous posts.

In fact, I think this is the first time ever.

But your statement is just plain silly. Are you purposely trying to be provocative, because I have been - ever so slightly - provoked. :-)

Should there have been a sarcasm tag?

Dr. Carson has a lifetime of accomplishment, extraordinary skills, has saved countless lives, and lived a life of exemplary behavior in overcoming the conditions of his youth (THANKS to his mother by the way for her mothering!).

Justin Beiber? Not so much, in any of the above categories.

If you mean, in the political sense, the latest fad?

Let me just say this to that.

As I watched his talk at the National Prayer Breakfast (which I have forwarded with commentary to my entire family), I said to myself THERE is the guy on that dais who should be President!

And I could care less that he is 7th Day Adventist, which I didn’t know until I looked into his history and upbringing.

Finally, given that he is 61 years old, he is what he is. He is not going to change who and what he is, unlike Beiber who as a youth is “evolving” if I can put it that way (and for the worse apparently).

Dr. Benjamin Carson for President? Sign me up...

:-)

“Justin Bieber”? NO.

This is a serious, truly accomplished man. A surgeon of long standing (he is 61 yrs. old); and still holds down a full work load, he and his wife started a reading project and scholarships that shows his money is where his mouth is.

He’s the man that Obama only WISHES he were. (I doubt Ben Carson is politically ambitious.)
