Single best speech I have heard in last 20 years. Especially needed in this day and age. Even more powerful when you understand who he is and his background!.

I doubt he has skeletons in his closet as did Cain.

The man was apparently too in demand saving kids but said on Fox & Friends this morning that he will be retiring from surgery in June and plans to speak out more. Hopefully in an electoral capacity if that is where the Lord is good enough to lead him...

Listened to it. Nice loving way to tell Obama he’s wrong, a liar and an idiot.

Fox News link - the one started on FR to Youtube last week is now over 200,000 hits, and the side bar there shows about a dozen other links to the same speech - probably over a million hits over the weekend with all the C-Span, news outlet and Youtube availability totalled - impressive and well deserved......

Interesting watching The Won's body language during the Doctor's speech. The typical Obama upward tilt of the chin, then stroking of the chin, the lowered head, the rubbing of his eyes, the finger alongside the nose and cheek, all are telltale body language messages that help to relay what the person listening is thinking, either consciously or unconsciously. From the site http://1to101.com/Body_Language>, we can learn:

•A tilted head symbolizes interest in someone or something.

•A lowered head is a negative signal that communicates acceptance of defeat.

•Touching or tugging an ear indicates indecision; though it’s also sometimes done when a person is being untruthful.

•Someone may touch or slightly rub their nose if they are doubtful about what is being said or if they are rejecting an idea.

•People place their hand on their cheek when they’re thinking or evaluating.

•A person stroking their chin is evaluating or making a decision.

•Projecting the chin towards another person demonstrates defiance or aggression.

•Failing to look someone in the eyes displays a lack of confidence.

•Lowering the eyes is a sign of submission, fear or guilt.

•Staring is interpreted as aggression and implies a person feels dominant and powerful.

•People who feel insulted, caught-out or threatened, will likely break eye contact.

•A person who consistently looks around them is bored with a situation / conversation.

•Fiddling with items (e.g. keys or a pen) can be a sign of nerves or anxiety; alternatively it may be done as a result of boredom or impatience.

There are other things he commonly does such as forced smiles and his habitual touching of his face, while listening to someone that indicates a self-consciousness that I think he STILL suffers from and tries to cover up. He did not one time applaud the speech, even at the end, which says a lot. His narcissism is innate and will eventually be his undoing. I'm no psychologist, but he is pretty easy to "read" coupled with his own words and ideals.

Basically, obama looked TICKED.

I especially liked the comparison Ben Carson made of the debt load to time; if you counted one number for every second, how many years it would take to reach 16 trillion.

America should be TICKED!! Dr Carson is a true pedigree, obama is a pound puppy; not worthy to tie the shoes of the good doctor. Much less run the great country of ours.

Cain also came off as something of a lightweight pizza guy. Even the media only picks on its own size. This is a world class brain surgeon with a heavy duty intellect and problem solving ability. Although they probably will go after the creationism aspect. I could care less how the speech made Obama feel. Carson could be the best thing for the Republican Party since Reagan.

OH that we had people like him in leadership in this country. Or more citizens like him for that matter.

The thrice admitted foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected POTUS (his real title)doesn’t like it when the spotlight is on someone else.

Well to me it seems the communist propaganda machine posing as our MSM is reacting as they usually do: Completely ignoring him. I’ve only seen him mentioned on Fox. I would imagine the communist propaganda machine would like to trash him because he made the admitted foreign born twice unconstitutionally elected Kenyan look bad, but I would imagine they can’t find any dirt on him although his mother only had a 3rd grade education so I assume communist propagandist Matt Lauer will be bringing that up shortly.

“but I would imagine they can’t find any dirt on him although his mother only had a 3rd grade education”

Based on what I heard him say on Fox on a couple of different interviews, she only had a 3rd grade education while he was growing up and she was supporting his siblings and him with 2-3 jobs as a domestic. However, on 1 show (don’t remember if it was Hannity or Fox & Friends) he said that she got her GED and later went to college and got a degree (IIRC he said she got a doctorate).
