| A phenomenon we all needed came into our view at National Prayer Breakfast 2013, and it couldn’t have come along at a better time. The phenomenon in the person of Dr. Ben Carson didn’t just upstage President Barack Obama when he spoke at Thursday’s National Prayer Breakfast, he restored amazing grace to a loudly-lauded event. How can we take to heart an event touted as “inspirational” and beneficial to federal government officials when they piously break breakfast bread before returning to careers duking it out in House and Senate?

Comments: It sure is a pleasure reading uplifting articles about such an honorable man. I can´t remember the last time I felt so good in listening to someone speak. He has struck a chord in us and shows that the American people are hungry for a leader who loves this country and all it has to offer. What a lovely change. He is the very antithesis of Barack Hussein 0bama.

Somebody needs to tell that oafish baboon Bob Beckel that this was 100% appropriate for the Prayer Breakfast. It could not have been more inspirational, more tone-perfect for these or any times. Carson has become a national hero to quite a few. A breath of very fresh, invigorating, restorative air.

Dr Carson´s message was pitch-perfect, of course. A pleasant secondary effect was watching the sourpuss President reacting to it.

We certainly need him right now. More and more very good people are surfacing...Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, Rand Paul, Allen West, Glenn Beck....I´m sure anyone reading this can add twice as many names to this list. Tiny bit by tiny bit, I´m beginning to find the courage to hope...just a little. Now if Karl Rove would just quit resembling an anchor around our feet....

Watch obama´s face. While I don´t know exactly what he is thinking I can sure guess and I bet I am close. Dr. Carson is more qualified to run this country than that dork pretending to be president wishing he was playing golf. Thank you sir, we needed that moment listening to you speak from the heart.

Glad you watched it #2! I really was moved when I saw it. Dr. Carson is really an inspiration. It is too bad that most of the lefties and seminar posters on Mediaite are so nasty, rude and ignorant in their comments about him after the other article about him. I hope more articles come out about his speech at the NPB.

Dr.Carson demonstrated that the best way to connect with people is simplicity and common sense. Politicians get too wrapped up in nuisance and parsing for people to connect.
I also got the impression that he doesn´t care for the left blaming successful people for this country´s problems,especially over this fair share crap.
Medical savings accounts should be the way everybody gets health insurance.For one thing,i tmakes people aware of wasteful dr visits and tests.You have a certain amount of money for out of pocket expenses,then you pay out of your own pocket.
Obamacare wouldn´t have been a problem if it just required people to buy catastrophic insurance,not a-z coverage.It´s the big unpaid surgeries that are causing the cost shifts.
the left still sticks to the belief that this is the richest country in the world and everybody should be entitled to free healthcare.

True greatness isn´t attained by soaring rhetoric but by the revelation of simple yet profound truths. Ben Carson reminded us that a nation that loses its reverence for life and the protection of the most vulnerable among us, the unborn and those near the end, will itself not survive long. The soul of a nation withers before its body dies.

Dr. Carson spoke from the heart without teleprompter. How truly wonderful.
Our President sat there looking more uncomfortable as the speech continued.
Instead of being a community rabble rouser he and his wife actually help children and do not take excuses as a reason for failure.
Now why would this make Obama so uncomfortable?

Dr. Ben Carson is justifiably proud of his phenomenally noteworthy past and is all too willing to be totally open and aboveboard by telling the entire world about it. Contrast the good doctor with BHO, the most deceptively artful dodger who ever attained high public office by going to unprecedented lengths in concealing everything he could about the emptiest of empty suits that he truly is. Carson worked his way up. Obama sneaked his way in. The perspective between the two is breathtaking. The comparisons are incomparable.

Remember the scene from "Dirty Dancing" where the gigolo dance instructor thanks the doctor who saves his girlfriend´s life after a botched abortion? It suddenly dawns on him after meeting a person of real accomplishment that his easy-going, partying lifestyle adds up to nothing. I wonder if similar thoughts occurred to BO when he met Dr Carson? BO tricked & defrauded his way into public office, but he knows better than anyone what a nothing he is. Maybe that is why he seemed so uncomfortable. He was in the presence of REAL greatness & the contrast was undeniable.

I too listened to the speech and was impressed and moved like many on this thread. I wouldn´t hesitate to vote for the good doctor. It is obvious president Zero is quite uncomfortable. Worth watching just for that.
After watching, I asked myself the question... "Would Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan disagree with anything Dr Carson stated?" I think they would fully agree. Yet we conservatives couldn´t unite behind that ticket. We have many other qualified republicans, Rubio, Paul, Cruz, Perry, etc, who would all agree completely. Somehow we always find some issue where we disagree and throw these quality candidates under the bus. Already happening to Rubio. My guess is we would do the same to Dr Carson.

Here is how you know that Dr. Carson knows God:
“It really didn’t matter who I was sitting in front of. Before I speak, I ask God to give me the right things to say.”
Any committed Christian who is used to public speaking or teaching knows that when you turn to God for the right words, He gives them to you. Dr. Carson is the real deal, but you can rest assured the Left will begin its character assassination post-haste.
Did you watch Obama during Dr. Carson speech? I watched him the whole half hour and he was alternately bored, angry, infuriated at the effrontery of Dr. Carson´s words and vengeful. You could see barely-disguised disdain and fury: "I´ll get you, my pretty. And your little dog, too."
RUN, BEN, RUN! For POTUS.

What a stark contrast in character, dignity and grace from the mean, snarky little man who now occupies the Oval Office.

First lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday said New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) suffers from adulthood obesity and is an example of why her "Let’s Move" campaign is such an important initiative. Speaking Wednesday on the "Today" show, the first lady was asked to comment on reports that Christie secretly underwent a medical operation in February to help him lose weight. "The one thing I will say is that there are millions of people like the governor who struggle with adulthood obesity, and that’s one of the reasons why ´Let’s Move´ is so important,” she said.

Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

For a good idea of how anxious Obamacare supporters are about the law´s rollout, read former White House health adviser Ezekiel Emanuel´s op-ed in The Wall Street Journal this morning: Transforming the U.S. health-care system—which is larger than the economy of France—is one of the most daunting administrative tasks government has ever confronted. There will be bumps in the road; this is inevitable.

Laugh if you must but it’s no goofier than the idea that “due process” implies a substantive right to kill a baby in the womb but not five minutes later, after it’s emerged. Bsides, Jackson Lee’s been consistent on this. Back in January 2011, right after the new Republican House majority was sworn in, she started arguing that repealing O-Care would amount to a deprivation of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. There’s a certain ruthless logic in her reaching for the Constitution right after the Democrats’ hold on power began to slip in

What good is a background check that doesn’t actually penalize criminals? Like the rest of Amnesty 2013, it exists only to aid the Democratic Party’s culture of criminality. Their concern is with a clause that would, during the background check process, prohibit immigration officials from forwarding criminal histories to law enforcement for deportation purposes. “The idea is we are supposed to be weeding out the bad apples,” said Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies. “But the big problem with the bill is it does not require those denied the amnesty to leave the country.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life."
