Are You Seriously For Ben Carson?

2015-11-16T02:32:11-05:00

Just watched Chris Wallace make Carson look like a fool on Fox News Sunday... He mumbled through what he would do about ISIS

Carson said that he would shoot down a Russian plane in Syria if in the no fly zone.
When asked what he would do if Russia then shot down one of ours... he mumbled... so Chris asked again and again... more mumbling...

Sounds like Ben would start WW III.

You have to suffer this fool for about 8.5 minutes to get to the no-fly zone part.

I think what's important is the competition of our candidates bring out the best among all candidates. I think it is too early to tell to judge most candidates right now. Being a doctor, be certainly doesn't have the political experience others have had, so he will have to make up for it.

Unfortunately Dr. Carson is not the most articulate person. He suffers from an inability to articulate what he really wants to get out. He is a good and decent man. But I do not believe his presidential material. We need someone who has actual leadership experience and knows how to manage and run things to be our next president. The job of president is not one for people to learn on the job.

Capt Walter Miller - I would rather suffer through 8.5 minutes of Ben Carson than one minute more with Barack Obama. Our country has suffered for 6 years under his inept and corrupt "leadership" (what a joke).

Ben Carson makes no claim to be a military or foreign affairs expert. He has, however, stated that he would listen to and adhere to the advice of military and political/foreign affairs experts. That would be refreshing, since the current administration has no plan, shoots from the hip, and follows the advice of people with no real-world experience in anything but liberal policies and agitation, led by the community organizer in chief, who appears to hell-bent on destroying our country.

Is Ben Carson my choice for President? No... at least, not at the moment. I would certainly vote for him before I would vote for Hillary, however.

Obviously, foreign policy is not Dr Carson's strong suit.

But for a fair, balanced view, I just watched President Obama make a statement and take a few questions in Turkey regarding ISIS and the attacks in Paris. That was a stew of "we are doing well" and "our strategy is working". Regarding Paris, it was "a setback".
It would seem that Dr Carson is not the only one who blunders about when discussing what to do about radical Islamic attacks.

I like Dr. Ben Carson. I'm not so sure about President Ben Carson. Yes, he's a very intelligent man but intelligence isn't always a great attribute in a President. Nixon and Carter are about two of the most intelligent men to have served during my lifetime and both were seriously flawed leaders. Carson's commitment to relying on the advice of experts is a good idea. All Presidents should do that. However, we don't know who those "experts" might be. Maybe candidates should announce a slate of nominees for cabinet posts before they're elected so that voters can see who they're really getting.
