Watch Dr. Ben Carson Shut Down Obama and Holder for Playing the Race Card - VIDEO
Watch Dr. Ben Carson Shut Down Obama and Holder for Playing the Race Card [VIDEO HERE]
If there’s one thing the Obama administration knows how to do, it’s play the race card to get out of doing a terrible job.

Obama Just Called Ben Carson to say ”I Love You” “Apologize for your Comments Last Year”
Suzanne Hamner 1 hour ago
Daily, Americans are witness to more examples coming from our government in the attempt to limit freedom of speech. In a report by Alex Pappas for The Daily Caller, it has been discovered that the White House called neurosurgeon Ben Carson to "request" Carson apologize to Obama for comments he made at the National Prayer Breakfast last year. The reason being that Carson's comments offended Obama.
The Daily Caller reports:Carson, the former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, recalls the events surrounding his 2013 speech in his new book, One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future. The Daily Caller obtained an advanced copy of the book, which is set for release May 20.Carson's speech can be viewed below. Listen to what Carson says and watch the reaction of Obama. It speaks volumes. Do you think Obama was offended?
"He did not appear to be hostile or angry," Carson writes of Obama, "but within a matter of minutes after the conclusion of the program, I received a call from some of the prayer breakfast organizers saying that the White House was upset and requesting that I call the president and apologize for offending him. I said that I did not think he was offended and that I didn't think such a call was warranted."
"Many have commented that the president appeared to be uncomfortable during my speech, but I was not paying particular attention to him or his reactions, as my comments were really directed more at the American people than the people on the dais," Carson recalls. "At the conclusion of the program, the president approached me to shake my hand and thank me for my participation."
While not an expert in body language or a mind reader to know what Obama was thinking, it would appear from his reaction, his frown, and his decision to not applaud that he was offended. This man wore his disdain on his sleeve for the entire country to see. Because he didn't like what was said and neither did his sycophants in the White House, a request was made of Carson to apologize for not being politically correct and speaking out regarding the problems with our nation, caused by failed, corrupt bureaucracy.
Carson spoke honestly, truthfully and brought forth innovative ideas to solve the issues facing America. There was no need for an apology when Carson was speaking truth, voicing his opinions and ideas especially because there was truth contained in those words. It was an attempt by this administration to intimidate a man, an accomplished intelligent insightful American, to submit to the political correctness pushed by this administration and silence dissent. Carson, confident in his stance and exuding pride in America, refused to be "enslaved" by this administration. Carson stood proud on the God-given right of freedom of speech supported in our Constitution by the First Amendment.
While many want Carson to run for political office, Carson has chosen to remain out of the political dog and pony show since he has not "felt called by God" to serve in the political arena. Carson indicated if God called him to participate in politics, he would not hesitate to answer God's call.

The View: Whoopi Tees Off on Ben Carson Over Anti-Welfare Comments
Cortney O'Brien | May 21, 2014
Always a hotbed for political discussion, The View created another touchy moment on Tuesday when Dr. Ben Carson criticized the ever increasing welfare system in America.
Actor and football player Terry Crews, who sat in as a guest co-host, asked Dr. Carson the question that set off the heated debate: "Do you think the welfare system is racist?" Here was Carson's candid answer:"Let me put it this way: when you rob someone of their incentive to go out there and improve themselves, you are not doing them any favors. When you take someone and pat them on the head and say, 'There there you poor little thing,' I'm gonna give you food stamps, I'm gonna give you housing subsidies, I'm gonna give you free health care.'"Unsurprisingly, this "controversial" statement prompted the other co-hosts to jump in and question his view. But, Carson was determined to finish his point and offer a solution:
"What would be much more empowering, is to use our intellect and our resources to give those people a way up and out."Crews applauded and agreed with Carson's perspective. As for Goldberg...not so much:
"As a former welfare mother, very few people want to be on welfare. Very few want to walk with their kids and take food stamps. Most people would rather work. I don't feel bad about being a welfare mother because I contribute as an American - that's what we do. And because the welfare system is so bizarre, you can't work, they don't allow you to work because they take the money from you. So if we fix the system so that it doesn't hurt the people, maybe it'll get better."
She ended that rant with a pleasant, "Thank you."
Unfortunately, Goldberg's statement is pretty accurate. She may not have meant to, but The View host and Oscar winner just further proved Carson's point: our current welfare system is reeking with disincentives. Why find a full-time job when you can take a part-time job that comes with enticing government benefits?
Good for Dr. Carson for bringing his conservative ideals to the ABC talk show. With Elisabeth Hasselbeck's departure, The View has certainly been lacking this perspective. Carson also had no problem slamming Obamacare and proposing alternative options such as health savings accounts.
