He's over 34 and a natural born citzen. That qualifies him.

“Dr. Ben Carson good doctor that he is is totally unqualified to be President of the United States.”

With all due respect, and independent of his views (some of which I agree with, and some which I do not), why is he unqualified? I understand feeling that you couldn't vote for him because of specific positions he holds. That's the American way.

That said, IMHO no one should say that he isn't qualified to be President because he hasn't worked in government. Quite to the contrary, I think the less government experience one has the more imminently qualified one is to run for the Presidency. I'd vote for a local plumber more readily than a whole cadre of people who have been governors. It's not that hard to be a good President. It's not ‘rocket science’, and you can get expert advisers 24/7. Honesty, and the ability to make decisions without worrying about what lobbyists and benefactors you might offend is not something that buys one a long career in politics. Those are big reasons, IMHO, why we should be more reluctant to vote for someone who has held previous office.
