“He’s an African American. He was, you know, raised white. Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia so for him to claim that he identifies with the experience of black Americans is a bit of a stretch.” This is what Ben Carson told Politico.

I guess that the President didn’t attend an American University? The fact that Barrack Obama was a community activist in Illinois; was that not a ‘black experience?’ He has been rebutted by the GOP for seven years, partly because he is black.

Carson lived his life as a neurosurgeon; what would he know about being black in America? Of course what would you expect from a man who believes the pyramids were constructed as grain silos; that homosexuals are made, not born; or that climate change is a hoax?

Carson also gave proof that he knows nothing about the people of Hawaii, the state in which the President was born and attended high school. Being bi-racial in Hawaii wasn’t easy. As my brother would tell you from his assignment in the United States Army, stationed in Hawaii, the natives are extremely prejudiced. It couldn’t have been easy for a young Barrack Obama.

Isn’t it time for Carson to withdraw from the race for the GOP nomination. His poll numbers are horrific, and after Super Tuesday in one week, it will become a two-man race; he won’t be one of the two.

Like Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, and others, he must fade away into his retirement years, and remove himself from politics; about which he knows nothing.

This is a year when knowledge and experience are paramount. Our nation’s people cannot afford to take a chance on the fools who seek the highest office in the land.

(Are you listening Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio?)
