Dr. Ben Carson: Govt educated; Govt trained; Never ran a business

[bucs90]

Couldnt help but wonder about this, so I looked it up.

Dr. Ben Carson got his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School, a public government funded school.

Dr. Ben Carson got is undergrad from Yale, an elite, liberal Ivy League school.

Dr. Ben Carson got his high school education from Southwestern High, a public school in the Detroit Public School system, yep, a government run public school in Democrat run Detroit.

His profession life?

Almost all of it is from his work at John Hopkins University, a non-profit hospital. Thats right. A NON PROFIT hospital.


So....

He was raised in the public schools of Detroit
Went to undergrad at a liberal Ivy League school
Got his medical degree from a government school at U of M
Got his professional experience from a non-profit

Has he ever run a for-profit business? Has he ever run a government at any level?

He is a great man, a great surgeon. And as unqualified as Barack Obama was/is to be president, I cant help but ask....what makes this guy any different?

 

[TruthSeeker56]

Dr. Carson has saved lives.

Barack Obama has ruined lives.

 

[bucs90]

Dr. Carson has saved lives.

Barack Obama has ruined lives.

Both true.

But should simply saving a life be enough to be president? There are firemen who have saved lives, but would be horribly unqualified to be US president. There are Army privates who have saved lives. President? Not yet.

So.....Ben Carson is a great man who has lived a great live.

He went to public Detroit high schools. He went to a liberal Ivy League college. He went to a government run medical school at U of Michigan Medical. He has made his entire career working at non-profit John Hopkins U, which btw has a long history of liberal ideals with philanthropy and civil rights.

He has never run a for-profit business, or ran a government of any size.

By any Republican's judgement, this man's life story would lead them to assume he'd be unqualified to be president of the US.

But because of 1 pretty speech in which he criticized taxes........he's now the GOP savior?

I feel bad for Ben Carson. He isnt at fault for this. The GOP is at fault for trying to dump the entire party's hopes on this one man.

 

[OKTexas]

Can you say "common sense"? Something that can't be taught even at the finest college.

 

[eflatminor]

what makes this guy any different?

His policies.

He's a good guy, but I think you're assuming facts not in evidence. I don't know anyone who is seriously looking to the good doctor to save the GOP, he's just a good spoksman for conservative values.

Running is a business is a requirement to be POTUS?

This is what makes him better able to be president than Obama.

WIKI

Carson is a Professor of Neurosurgery, Oncology, Plastic Surgery and Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University.[2] He was inspired to pursue a career in medicine when he heard stories in church of missionary doctors and their ability to heal people physically, mentally, and spiritually. At age 33, he became the youngest major division director in Johns Hopkins history, as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. He is also a Co-Director of The Johns Hopkins Craniofacial Center. Carson used to perform 450–500 surgeries per year, but has reduced his surgery load to approximately 350 per year as his scheduled speaking engagements have increased.

Dr Carson has had a distinguished career saving the lives of countless children and managing a medical department. barack obama was a community organizer.[/thread]

It seems to me that we should stop voting for Lawyers and career politician's and vote for actual common sense people who don't have ties to lobbists or Big Corporations.

Yes, if only all insurance was required to cover pre-existing conditions, we wouldn't have to buy homeowner's insurance until the house was actually on fire. That'll work out just beautifully...

As a candidate, he would be eaten alive by the opposition. He certain might make a good Surgeon General with his credentials; maybe that's really his goal.

So what? If someone goes to "public schools" they can't be anything but a rabid liberal?

I've worked for the military for most of my life, does that mean I can only be for bigger government control of everything? No, quite the contrary, I've seen how wasteful and idiotic 'government' is. For example if we were run more like a real business, we wouldn't have all the bullshit and be able to fire useless people. Unfortunately our Federal government doesn't work like that, instead when you have an office half full of useless people that can't do their jobs, so you just ask for more people in order to do the necessary work.
