Ben Carson Makes Obama Sit Through the Longest 27 Minutes Of His Presidency

In case you missed it, world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson presented the keynote address at the 61st Annual National Prayer Breakfast.

With President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other national leaders in attendance, Dr. Carson spoke plainly about the great challenges facing America today: “moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility.”

This speech was the buzz all weekend long among political circles, for not only was it a refreshing breath of logic and common sense in its simplest form, but it was also a sobering lecture and critique of the Obama administration’s reckless and misguided policies – making it probably the longest 27 minutes Obama has ever had to sit through as president.

Bulls eye on every point. The Wall Street Journal wrote an editorial begging Carson to run for president.

Carson's personal story alone is remarkable. He was born and raised in a single parent home. His mother was one of 24 children, and she married at 13. Despite only having a third grade education and being illiterate, his mother stressed the importance of education and reading to Carson and his brother.

“Never made excuses, and she never accepted an excuse from us,” said Carson. “And if we ever came up with an excuse, she always said do you have a brain? And if the answer was, ‘yes,’ then she said then you could have thought your way out of it … It was the most important thing she did for my brother and myself. Because if you don’t accept excuse, pretty soon people stop giving them, and they start looking for solutions. And that is a critical issue when it comes to success.”  More
