Hmmm, pretty good. I wished more people would have thought the same way 7 years ago. Obama was a *community organizer*ala Al Sharpton/ Jessie Jackson, with a law degree that spoke like a *country white boy* while avoiding the subject of race to ease the public's fear and served a couple of years as a state senator, then a couple as a US Senator, doing neither very well, while seeking higher office.He had no executive experience. Never ran an office, a company, an agency, a city, a state and he wanted to be president! On the job training with no experience running anything but his mouth. He did that quite well, convincing millions that he could solve their personal problems in a manner that would be acceptable to them and everyone else. Hell, they even gave him the Nobel Peace prize as soon as he took office! <His accomplishment? Out of a country of 350 million, 94-95 million are out of the work force, over 50 million on food stamps, black unemployment the highest it's ever been, race relations at an all time low,running up a national debt that will destroy us, Russia on the move trying to restore the old Soviet Union, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood taking over the middle east, Israel feels as if we've put a knife to their throats, Syria using chemical weapons on their own people,Christians being murdered in their lands, refugees flooding Europe. But hey, we don't have any troops in Iraq! Well... not for a while, but that's changing. So, I have to agree with you to a degree. The President should have more qualifications like executive experience, the ability to run large organizations/ governments smoothly. Political savvy would be helpful. Developing these skills while *on the job* is not the ideal situation. Generally speaking, Senators and Congressmen don't make good presidents. They lack that executive experience. Governors do better.Ben Carson? I like the guy personally but he probably doesn't have the skills needed to be President.

I don't see that as dooming his candidacy. And after all, in 2012 the Republicans nominated a Mormon! (Have you seen what they believe?). No, Carson's problem is that he has zero qualifications for being president. Expertise in one unrelated field (brain surgery) does not carry over into another field, that of politics. The man appears to know nothing at all, but still has the peculiar arrogance to think that in spite of the fact that he has never held any elective office, he can suddenly, out of the blue, become president. My advice: Run for City Council, Ben, or maybe the state legislature or the US Congress. Learn something about politics and world events and history before you put yourself up as a presidential candidate. Ben Carson vs. Hillary? Don't make me laugh, She dwarfs him. Smarter, more experienced, with real qualifications for the office she is running for. Candidates like Carson make a mockery of the entire process of how we elect a president. He will not last.

There is an obvious disconnect which he may or may not want to address at this point in time.
