Dr. Ben Carson is not going to be President

There were reports that retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was going to consider a run for the presidency of the United States.  He's a successful black Republican.

The problem is, he's in a specalized field, he has no political experience, and he has an image problem that he doesn't know about.  Let me break it down:

• He's a neurosurgeon.  A medical professional.  Outside of base knowledge, it's mostly medical.  He's a good canidate for Surgeon General.  President?


• He has never held a political office, ever.  That is becoming a bit of a liability.  You can get away with that at a local level, but for the highest office in the land?  No.  We done that before -- President Barak Obama only had at most 2 years as a Senator and nothing else.  We elected him because we were sick and tired of Dubba Bush and didn't want a continuance of any type in office.  So any Republicans had to go.  Guess what happened.


• Up until now, he was a paid contributor for Fox News.  Fox News wisely released him out of the contract when the political aspirations came up.  But as you know, Fox News spins heavy conservative (sometimes radically) when it needs to go moderate.  This has made Fox News a bad name around political circles, which causes an image problem with the good doctor.  Dr. Carson needs to realize that and overcome that.

So who would of been a good black President?  Colin Powel.
