"Dr. Carson went on to direct pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for 29 years."
I found this in his bio. So, he has experience in being in charge of something. I think supervisory experience in anything puts him or anyone else head and shoulders above Obama. I don't want anyone with experience in politics, that seems to be half of the problem we have now, I want someone who's been in charge of people in real life.

Well you're wrong.
Then don't vote. Please do not vote if you think like this. You would be the problem with democracy if you did.

That might be, but we don't live in a democracy in the United States. I vote every chance that I get and see the disaster that career politicians have wrought on the people of this country. Voting for someone from outside of politics is about the only thing that hasn't been tried and I for one am looking to start. Obama has been the worst president since Wilson and a random name from the New York phone directory would be better at being president and most of congress.
