I would like to know what led you to  call Dr. Ben Carson an idiot. Have you read any of his three books that provide a wealth of information about him as a man, a doctor, and a human being who has a great understanding of what is wrong with our country today? One of his main points was about the role of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in conducting the use of our military, and how under the leadership of President Obama the world is facing a terrorist crisis unlike anything we have ever seen. Also, I thought the humor he brought to the end of the debate was refreshing. When asked of some of his accomplisments, he said he was the only doctor to separate Siamese twins, to operate on a baby inside the mother's womb, and to remove half of a patient's brain. But then he followed up by saying that when he looked around Washington maybe he wasn't the only doctor who had removed half a brain.
