Ben Carson's Qualifications

[Guest]

What, exactly, are Ben Carson's qualifications to be President of the USA? True, he is a brilliant surgeon but what of political and government experience?

Sec. Clinton, like it or not, has much government experience. Gov. Walker has government experience, Sen. Rubio, Gov. Jindahl, Gov. Christie, Sen. Paul all have government and political experience.

You do not start with being President as your first government job. The man would be eaten alive by all the Washington insiders and advisors as well as Members of the House and the Senate.

Dear Guest: Perhaps the fact that Ben Carlson is an outsider could bode well for voters. Corporations often look outside for fresh talent with different ideas to rejuvenate their companies. Also lobbyist, etc don't have their hooks firmly embedded in his skin.

A guy coming from humble beginnings to renowned claim is tough enough to handle Washington.

He is highly intelligent has moral clarity exhibits political courage is honest and forthright and demonstrates balance and common sense.

I may or not support this guy but it is too early yet to discount him

I will refrain from comparing him to other potential candidates from either party because i will reserve that final comparison when the time comes to choose

Personal Best Regards:

In corporate America it is demonstrated time and again that to get things changed or fixed or improved it is proves most often to bring in an outsider.

Insiders always know how things work and why they do the way they do. And because it is what they have always been a part of do not have an inclination to make changes or rock the boat.

An outsider on the other hand does not know why things are done the way they are and is much more prone and likely to ask why.

Insiders have an attachment to existing personnel......including far too much dead wood and tenure only qualifications.

Outsiders do not have the attachment and are more likely and usually do bring in a team of their choosing.

Regarding the position of POTUS, the insider aspect is for those inside Washington DC. So when Clinton's so called "experience" or the mis-nomer "qualifications", only means she knows how and why things work the way they do. It is a guarantee she is not likely to even consider rocking the boat, hence the dead wood, the tenure professionals and most of all the "you owe me" crowd will ALL remain.

Show me a candidate with the capabilities and qualifications needed for the job at hand and don't burdon me with those who have been raised from within as the main go-no-go measure.

Obama came in as a Washington outsider. One of his major claims was to bring change to Washington. All he did was reenforce and strengthen the politics as usual.

Hillary Clinton is the epitome of business/politics as usual....IT IS ALL SHE KNOWS!!

How can there be any discussion regarding lack of experience or qualifications being of any concern when one turns back the clock to 2007 and looks at the resume of Barrack Hussein Obama???

And was able to unseat the most likely candidate (sound familiar?) Hillary Clinton.

[Guest]

As a medical professional myself, I have always looked upon Dr. Carson with high regard. He is an intelligent, hard working, compassionate man with what appears to be high moral standards. i agree with other posters that being an insider is not only not necessary, but could be a hindrance at this point. What is more important to me is that the next POTUS be a great leader. For this reason, I have always preferred (if we must speak of experience) a governor as POTUS, with the VP being maybe a senator - a governor leads, while a senator has more of the know-how of getting around DC politics. I too am reserving my opinion about Dr Carson as a potential candidate, not because of his lack of political experience, but to better determine how great of a leader he might be.

The analogy does not hold water. If, for example, Microsoft was looking for a new CEO, they would recruit someone with experience in computer systems and would not consider a top physician who did not have any business experience nor extensive computer experience, would they?

[Guest]

No need for concern. The republicans are not going to nominate Dr. Carson. They like to trot out Carson and Herman Cain, and Alan West to show how enlightened and diverse they are, but actually nominate one of them? Not in this century!

I guess being a U.S. senator from the 5th largest state is not considered a qualification. BTW, working Hussein into his name speaks volumes.

It certainly does. Just check the CEO turnover for the past 10 or even 20 years and you will find that what I stated in my post, "...Show me a candidate with the capabilities and qualifications needed for the job at hand..."
is applied regularly. The key is to be looking for the very best person to do the job. That does not mean one who is from the business because they know it. It means they have acknowledged ability to do the job.

It is a concept that is not neccessarily very popular with a lot of people for obvious reasons.

Why would Microsoft put a limitation on candidate selection? The answer is they would not.

Please show me a major corporation who hired a surgeon with no experience in the particular corporate occupation as their CEO.

Excellent point.

Imagine the GOP having a black candidate and the Democrats having a female candidate. That is a scenario that would have MOST Republicans stay home on Election Day.

You do know that these are the same voters that elected di Blasio:22yikes:

All I can say is please run this guy. Him, walker, Christie, I love em all.

I did not know that Mayor DiBlasio was elected by the people of Illinois. Methinks someone's geography is mixed up.

Once again, the sounds of silence from the self-proclaimed researchers.

Once, again your interpretaion, implication, observation, conclusion is wrong.
Try taking a comment at face value for a change. It is a hell of lot more accurate.

They have no one worth running. Hey, why not have a campaign to get Sarah Palin to try for President this time? Michelle Bachmann could be her running mate for VP.

Speaking of the Quitter, do you think Sarah or her family is partaking of the now legal weed in Alaska? I would take odds that her family are users.

Some never ever tire of mudslinging and hitting below the belt, and never ever on subject. Very demeaning to whatever group associated with or supporting.

Must be what comes with anonymity.

What was he thinking? Right or wrong just dance and move on.

Dear guest: In all due respect to you please show me a major corporation that would have hired a community organizer with no work experience at all. Despite that fact, Democrats voters made him President of the most powerful nation on earth. And as predicted this community organizer is using every Alinsky Rule in the book and has gotten so good at it he has added a few of his own.

This latest revelation concerning the bin Laden documents has placed American service men and women at great risk if not the entire nation just to satisfy his personal narrative. Have liberals no shame to continue to support irresponsible human being who clearly does not love anyone but himself.

If I remember my Alinski training course, one tactic is just what you did. Take the question and turn it around to suit your needs.

A US Senator is more government experience than being a neurosurgeon.

So, in the same due respect, I will ask you once again of a major US corporation that has hired a surgeon as CEO who had no experience with that corporation or similar work.

This is the second time Ben Carson had to apologize for something stupid he said. The last time was when he said Obamacare was like Nazis.

Unfortunately his followers love these remarks.

by observing some of the posts, including my own, it is obvious that some posters are erroneously posting and thinking they are have a counterpoint with another poster when they are not.

I applaud you for probably the most intelligent response on this thread, Unfortunately, this thread seems to have gone the way of the trash heap. May be best at this point to leave it to the trolls and their continued worship of their god(s).

The point he was making is that people choose to be homosexual. Does Dr Carson remember the exact date that he chose to be straight? It seems that would be a big day on your calendar.

i been giving this more thought. if what you say is true that you can't choose to be gay your just gay or not gay then everyone in prison isgay. so are you saying all the crime is by gays? come on. no way only fairies do crime. now i know your full of it.
