I listened to the speech, and then listened again and made an audio copy to email to my adult children, and excerpeted the part about reading being the key to the kingdom, his escape from poverty.
Too many of our childrens’ children spend too much time on Wii and Xbox. I am making this message known, hope it does some good.
I said to myself as I listened, THIS is the guy that should be President on that dais.
Our government was meant to be led by business men, farmers, shopkeepers and professionals from the real world, who would do a few years of public service, then return home to live under the laws they enacted.
Our system of government being captured by lawyers is a huge mistake.
Our system paying well-enough that being an elected representatives can be a LUCRATIVE CAREER is an even greater mistake!
Senators becoming a super-house by direct election of the people, instead of the Senate being the legislative body representing the interests of the State Governments, was a Huge Mistake!
Carson for President!
AND I do not care if he is a Seventh-Day Adventist.
He is a good and honest man, a hard worker, truthful and honorable, intelligent and inspiring by his example.
He would be a great President.
He could make Romney head of the Dept of Commerce AND of the EPA - a dual portfolio - because I think he WOULD do a great job in getting us headed back toward creating business and job opportunities instead of killing them. And during his first term, maybe they even close the EPA and make its “legitimate” function just a part of Commerce, but not its own cabinet-level position.
President Ben Carson? - hmm, interesting...
The good men don’t run for president. They couldn’t stomach it.
