The road for the American White House President for 2016, is getting interesting now. About few weeks ago, former American First Lady and USA Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, declares her ambition for the post of the most power person in the world, joining the league for American president is world renewed surgeon Ben Carson , who also declare his own interest of running for the post of American president under the platform of Republican Party.
Today Ben Carson, declares his intending for the American president and also wants to convince voters that a doctor is best positioned to fix what’s ailing America.
“I’m Ben Carson, and I’m a candidate for president of the United States,” he told a crowd in his hometown of Detroit on Monday, making his presidential bid official to wild applause.
In a speech to a crowd that his campaign estimated at thousands, the retired neurosurgeon and unlikely conservative star introduced his wife and family and called for “the people to rise up and take the government back.” Carson told the story of his rise from poverty, where he lived in homes infested with roaches — “in the more upscale areas, they called ’em waterbugs, but we knew what they were” he joked — and promised that he wouldn’t change his signature style, framing himself as an outsider up against the political elite.
“I’m probably never going to be politically correct because I’m not a politician,” he said. “I don’t want to be a politician. Because politicians do what is politically expedient — I want to do what’s right.”
Carson’s theatrical announcement event included a gospel choir singing a medley topped by Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” but the celebratory tone of the day was shrouded in private sadness for the candidate. His campaign confirmed earlier Monday that Carson’s ailing mother was growing progressively sicker, and he planned to delay his planned trip to Iowa to head to Dallas on Monday to say goodbye.
But the notoriously sharp-tongued orator maintained his calm demeanor on stage Monday, taking sharp jabs at everything from the media to the Obama administration’s policies. He called for an end to social programs that “create dependency,” and, signaling he may seek to play in Capitol Hill battles, telling supporters that if their lawmaker voted to raise the debt limit, “you need to throw them out of office.”
Carson demanded another “wave election” this cycle, not of Republicans (who already control both chambers of Congress), but rather to elect “people with common sense who actually love our nation, and are willing to work for our nation, and are more concerned about the next generation than the next election.”
And he also weighed in on the recent unrest in Baltimore, following the death of an African American man in police custody, declaring that the “real issue is that people are losing hope” because the economy isn’t delivering for them.
“They don’t feel that life is going to be good for them, no matter what happens, so when an opportunity comes to loot, to riot, to get mine, they take it, not believing that there is a much better way to get the things that they desire,” Carson said.
Carson is so far the only African-American presidential candidate from either party. He cuts an unusual figure for the GOP, but that’s part of his appeal for conservatives.
He made his name in medicine by becoming the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins at the head, and was played by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in a TNT adaptation of his memoir.
Carson grew up poor in Detroit and went on to get degrees from Yale and the University of Michigan, ultimately going on to become the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins by the age of 33. He’s written six best-selling books, is a regular on the paid speaking circuit and was ranked the sixth most admired man in the world in a 2014 Gallup poll.
And he has been brazenly critical of President Barack Obama’s policies — often to the point of getting himself in trouble with his borderline incendiary comments, including times he’s compared Obamacare to slavery and the U.S. to Nazi Germany.
That unapologetic bluntness has made Carson a conservative star. He typically polls in the middle of the GOP presidential pack, ahead of second-timers like Rick Santorum and Rick Perry, and came in fourth at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference.
But it’s also the thing that could halt his rise in its tracks. He faces strong skepticism from the GOP establishment over his penchant for controversial comments, which many Republicans worry could create headaches for the whole party and jeopardize their chances in the general election.
He told WKRC, however, that he’s learned his lesson from those controversies.
“I don’t wander off into those extraneous areas that can be exploited. I have learned that,” he said.
