When radio host Hugh Hewitt asked Dr. Ben Carson if he would accept the U.S. surgeon general nomination from President Barack Obama, the famous neurosurgeon was definitive in his response.

“No, no,” Carson replied immediately. “Because if I would, if I were going to serve in that position, I would have to serve under someone that I trusted.”

Hewitt pressed further: “If he said I will not interfere with the guidance you give, we need someone to rally the country around being calm and appropriately prepared, you’d really, you’d say no to the president of the United States?”

“Yes, absolutely,” Carson said.

“I’m shocked,” Hewitt added.

We witness here a man whose integrity exceeds his ambition - a rara avis in today's society

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hugh,
They don’t want someone with Mr. Carsons demonstrated ability.
Look who was chosen and don’t ask foolish rhetorical questions.

I listened to the Great One on my way home this evening, and, as always, he expounded the American ethos - the Constitution, the rule of Law, and the paralyzing effect of too much government on economic growth and personal freedom. IMHO the Republican "leadership" - a term I use guardedly - must go. We need to restore two-party politics in this Nation and the Tea Party is the way to do it.

Guys like Hewitt are not so much RINO but more like
conservative lite.

“A very sad commentary, that a prominent person is saying he doesn’t trust the president enough to serve in his administration.”

that it is,.. that it is.

Hugh appears to have lost some.. grip?

[MeshugeMikey]

the form of thought...formerly referred to as common sense...

we old timers can I guess still reference “common sense” amongst ourselves..as we know what it means...

Lol.
Dr. Carson is also WAY too smart to run for ANY political office.
