Dr. Ben Carson, the famous neurosurgeon and conservative super star, has made a major announcement: HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!

Officially, Carson – who just became a Republican after spending years as an Independent – is ready to challenge the policies of President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. And it all begins with a 40-minute long television special he is sponsoring to introduce himself:

The documentary titled “A Breath of Fresh Air: A New Prescription for America” will air in 22 states and Washington, DC. The paid video will detail some of his biography and family life, including his rise from being born to a single mother with a poor childhood in Detroit to director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins for almost 40 years, known for his work separating conjoined twins, to potential 2016 presidential candidate.

Carson first became a conservative star when last year he created a buzz at the National Prayer Breakfast when in front of an audience that included President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden spoke out about political correctness, health care and taxes.

He also called for a private health care savings plan and a flat tax in a speech that went viral and led to an editorial in the Wall Street Journal titled Ben Carson for President. He is known as a fierce opponent of the president’s health care law known as Obamacare.

"I am always leery of any political candidate whose first race for public office is POTUS."

Maybe he should take a tackle on governorship or congress first.

People would get to see first hand what an upstanding person Dr. Carson is and he gets the face time leading up to a 2020 run.

If not Prez, how about Surgeon General?

I like Dr. Ben, but c’mon - he’s a 1- or 2-issue guy, no foreign policy, and he’s spent most of his time preaching to the choir. No way he’ll survive a beat down from the commie media, never mind his GOP opponents.
