I am not really surprised that the WH wanted a heads up from this guy.
It's probably standard practice for them and that makes sense! You WOULD need some advance notice, if you have a President who was raked up from some Chicago gutter and whose ONLY rhetoric is comprised of laughably blase, jejune, useless and empty phrases. (And THAT'S on his best day!!!)

I was astounded when I watched the speech. One of my thoughts was that the powers that be surely did not expect to hear what they did. Had they known in advance, I am sure they would have made sure that the invitation for Dr. Carson to speak was cancelled. Obama surely squirmed in his seat the whole time.
Obama was diminished in the presence of this great and brilliant man who spoke the truth.

So the white house was practicing censorship of the speech. The current occupant should resign in shame.

Dr. Carson can look forward to some repeated visits by IRS agents in the coming months.

Dr. Carson knew what he wanted to say without putting it down on paper or having someone write it for him.
And no teleprompter! ..did you see that Barry?
To: Nachum
Yet, the vast majority of the black community will view Obama as a “savior” and Dr. Carson as stupid, a traitor, an “Uncle Tom”.

Ha! You’re so righ.
Most of the African Americans I know are incredibly out of touch with their own culture.
I worked with a girl who didn’t know who Mahalia Jackson was... or Jesse Norman, either. However, she knew ALL about and LOVED Michael Jackson...
This is nothing new. Years ago I went to see Miles Davis in Cleveland. The place was just half full and there were only about 3 African Americans there...sitting down front and presumably, related to band members.

Is Obie doing another one of his discreetly flashing a middle finger because he doesn’t like what Dr. Carson has just said? It comes on at 4:50....

The White House should have been told “No. You don’t get an advance copy”.
Obama’s “speech” at that prayer breakfast was abysmal. Embarrassingly bad. Because he did not believe one single word of it, and it showed.

Can someone please look at 4:50 in to the speech, Carson has just delivered a joke about the expensive bird and we need to speak up, obie looks like he's presenting again with the middle finger—a tactic he's used before with people that have taken a stand against him...
