So what? What president has ever known about any of this stuff? You keep on keeping on, Ben…you effing tortured genius moron! You brilliant idiot! Don’t let those shiny objects distract you. Now separate Haiti and the Dominican Republic like you did those twins! Same concept applies, I’m sure, in that highly functioning, yet dim witted brain of yours. You are a marvel of modern science, you intellectual child. Mr. President!

I guess he got filled up with the names of all the ganglia and nodes and structures in the brain and absolutely cannot learn anything new. I’m pretty dazed and full of details too I guess, but then again I’m not running for president.

Reminds me of the episode of Married With Children in which Bud attempted to teach Kelly a few facts but when he did she lost most of her previously acquired knowledge.

Mr Carson is not up to speed on a whole bunch more than just US-Cuba relations. Heck, that’s just a foot note on all the other crap he doesn’t know.

How can a man like Carson be so brilliant in medicine but a damn idiot when it comes to everything else?

I think Dr. Carson’s brain was used by the Egyptians to store grain and the rats took over.

Yea, more like 60 since it is a policy that has been around since the 60s.

I’m thinking they both may be fleecing the rubes.

It makes as much sense as them actually wanting to be the President.

If the good doctor were asked to elaborate on a former Soviet satellite he would go no further than Herman Cain did, and just say “Uzbeki-beki-stan-stan” and look confounded.

I’m no so sure it’s a brilliant mind. If that’s brilliant, I am a a genius
