Ben Carson called the President a psychopath.

On the night earlier this year that Barack Obama stepped before the nation to deliver his sixth State of the Union address, Ben Carson—a political newcomer who harbors dreams of soon giving his first—settled into a sofa just a few blocks away. He was eager to hate everything the president was about to say.

Carson had come to the Capitol Hill home of Armstrong Williams, a conservative media impresario who officially serves as Carson's business manager and who lately has functioned as Carson's unofficial image-maker and political adviser as well. As the two men turned to the TV, they began dissecting Obama's performance.

"He looks good," Williams said. "He looks clean. Shirt's white. The tie. He looks elegant."

"Like most psychopaths," Carson grumbled. "That's why they're successful. That's the way they look. They all look great."

1. He is entitled to his opinion

that said, we may have an opinion of the Esteemed Mr. Carson as well..... and it may not be to his liking.....

2. Indeed. Pot meet electric kettle!

I've heard some scallywags in US politics, but none to match Carson - in just the few sentences I've read; a 'boot-strap', star go-getter from a poor background.

His favouring a flat tax says it all. Isn't the poor public taxed enough already?

4. Do we have a competition going here?

Among black Republicans as to who can say the most ridiculous stuff?

I remember Herman Cain saying that black people who vote Democratic are "brainwashed".

And I'm sure Michael Steele has said some real whoppers too.

I won't go into the words I immediately thought of about this phenomenon.

5. The contest is open to all Republicans...

However, black Republicans do have their own special technique. I'm on my iPod right now. If you like, pm me and I'll reply with a link to something I've posted before on the subject once I get back online.
