Limbaugh: Carson not ready for presidency

[GunFora]

I'm no fan of the President but you're just wrong here. Aside from having been a United States Senator, the President has a law degree and taught Constitutional law - all of which most would agree are germane to being President. Dr Carson can possibly boast some management experience but little else seems to qualify him for the job.

He was a junior Senator with all of 2 years in office. As far as teaching Constitutional Law, he was a Senior Lecturer...not a Professor. Difficult to say how well he did in college since his transcripts were never released. Obama has never run a business, never held a real job and has never built or created anything.

Good point. Replace "answer my question" with "respond to my comment".

Being a 2-year junior senator with nothing more than some law school and community organizer experience is not my idea of good qualifications to be president.

You just can't believe/acceptance his relevance, but unfortunately for you many prominent Democrats have given him great credibility including Bill Clinton. Sucks to be on the Leftwing Denial Team.

I'm a libertarian socialist. I don't have a team, certainly not with anyone named Clinton.

But sure, Carson has relevance. It doesn't speak highly of GOP voters, but he does.

Go back and read what I was responding to, it wasn't about Carson.

Oh, Limbaugh? I won't deny he resonates with a lot of people, though that doesn't make GOP voters sound better either.

Sigh....

What recent presidential candidate only has:
-Some law school
-2 years as a junior senator
-community organizer experience

President Obama for example was president of the harvard law review, worked as a lawyer, was a constitutional law professor, was a member of the Illinois senate for 8 years, where right off the bat he helped to pass and cosponsored two important bills regarding campaign finance reform and restructured welfare programs etc. etc.

Did Obama have the most qualified resume ever? Not by a long shot. Did he need more experience in the senate before running? You can definitely make that argument. But to act as though his only experience was "community organizing, 2 years as a junior senator, and some law school" is ****ing ridiculous and dishonest. It puts everything else you say in negative light because if you say something so naive and dishonest, then what other uninformed things are you going to say?

It never fails to amaze me that Limbaugh is still on the air. Ok, he is entitled to his opinion, but him being an authority on anything?
As for the American public, it goes two ways. Some are really a bit too naive to form an informed opinion, others know that Dr. Carson is just as capable as Obama was when he took office.
Please realize, it is hardly the person in the oval office who decides all by him/herself, but rather the capable people he/she surrounds him/herself make it so.
Dr. Carson, even more so than any other candidate, is perfectly capable of evaluating information brought before him. Just think what a neurosurgeon, any surgeon for that matter, has to take into consideration before picking up a scalpel.
No, I wouldn't vote for Carson, but Limbaugh is just wrong.

Limbaugh's contract is up next year.. it was a long contract that was signed before some of his comments that drove advertisers away.

Not to mention the fact that being a community organizer is to work with groups of people that feel disenfranchised with "the system" to realize the power they actually have in the political process. The job is analogous to being in the Peace Corp of American politics. Its quite relevant.

I agree, it isn't the most qualified guy to ever run for office, but all of his professional experiences were quite relevant to the job.
