“He’s currently a neurosurgeon and the director of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Hospital and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President George W. Bush in 2008.”
This is like calling Michelangelo a housepainter.
Dr. Carson is the head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins, the premier hospital in the world for pediatric neurosurgery, and the #1 or #2-ranked hospital in the United States for the last couple of decades.
Dr. Carson is the top innovator in the field over the past few decades. More than being a brilliant surgeon, he has proved to be an outstanding teacher and leader, having assembled a world-class team of pediatric neurosurgeons at Johns Hopkins, each of whom could be the top dog in pediatric neurosurgery at any other hospital in the world.
This is why I think its so important for him to take his message to Detroit where he’s already a true hero. Virtually every schoolroom in Detroit has a photo of Ben Carson on the wall. There is even a Doctor Ben Carson school of science and medicine in Detroit.
Others may want to give blacks an elbow to the face but Ben Carson is smart enough to know that its exactly what Obama wants.
