According to Cal Thomas, well-known nationally syndicated columnist, Dr. Ben Carson owes President Obama an apology.
Dr. Carson spoke this past week at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington -- a bipartisan annual event held since 1953, attended by members of Congress and usually the president.
President and Mrs. Obama were present this year, and Thomas feels that Dr. Carson was out of line for including in his remarks areas considered public policy -- our national debt, our tax system, our publics schools, our health care.
According to Thomas: "Our politics have become so polarized and corrupted that a president of the United States cannot even attend an event devoted to drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides without being lectured about his policies."
Dr. Carson is an African-American physician, director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, who rose out of poverty in a ghetto in Detroit.

And if he had, BO would have looked at him with a straight face and said “Yes, I would.”
According to Thomas: "Our politics have become so polarized and corrupted that a president of the United States cannot even attend an event devoted to drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides without being lectured about his policies."
If Cal Thomas REALLY thinks Carson ought to apologize to the Assclown, then Cal is ready for retirement. The PROBLEM is that there isn't ENOUGH rhetoric aimed against the clown.
I’ve heard plenty of prayers and sermons that take subtle and not-so-subtle political jabs as well as advocating PC. But I guess that’s ok if a pandering pastor does it, right?
The requested document does not exist on this server.
Normally I would be agreeing with Cal Thomas...but these are not normal times...
If the press did even a tiny part of their job...Dr. Carson would be talking about issues already addressed....
He didn’t say anything threatening. The man still has free speech...even in front of the President.
Cal Thomas, it only takes a sip of the Kool-Aid to be hooked.
Dr. Carson said out loud what is looming in the back of every conservative’s mind. For that crime, both the democrats and republicans will be out to destroy him, no holds barred. In washington, it’s go along, get along, or get crucified. You’re not dealing with politicians anymore, now you’re dealing with the government.
If anyone should be apologizing it should be nobama apologizing to the country.
1. Who is most responsible for this polarization?
2. What better time and place to discuss the error of our ways than at a gathering for "drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides"?
How has that worked out for us Cal? What an idiot!
Pray for America
Poor, little innocent Hussein. And who has brought us to this state of polarization?
