It’s fun to hear him talk about his mother and how she “forced him to read” and how he learned to enjoy it because of her persistence…I wonder if King Skeeter actually feels a little jealous: he doesn’t have any fun stories about his mother. Or his father. He only uses what they were when it suits him. Dr. Carson is very bold.
Sharon Obama did talk about his Mother.
Barack Obama – Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. – September 8, 2009
@ 3:59 … Where all the American kids went to school.
“When I was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in Indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an American education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.” – Barack Obama
“What about Obama’s Indonesian Citizenship?
By Philip J. Berg, Esquire – April 28, 2011
Excerpt
Soetoro/Obama was registered in a public school as an Indonesian citizen by the name of Barry Soetoro and his father was listed as Lolo Soetoro, M.A according to the Indonesian school records. Indonesia did not allow foreign students to attend their public schools in the late 1960’s or 1970’s, and any time a child was registered for a public school, the child’s name and citizenship status were verified through the Indonesian Government. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Chapter 13, Law No. 62 of 1958 (all citizens of Indonesia have a right to education). There was no way for Soetoro/Obama to have attended school in Jakarta, Indonesia legally unless he was an Indonesian citizen, as Indonesia was under tight rule and was a Police State. See Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Law No. 62 of 1958. These facts indicate that Obama/Soetoro is an Indonesian citizen, and therefore he is not eligible to be President of the United States.

“And my mother, she didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school…”
Yeah…even though Lolo Soetero was an oil company engineer…and the family lived in the most exclusive section of Jakarta.
His parents are just “composites”, kind of like his “girlfriends”.
Nice speech. Obama never applauded during it (Michelle did) and as he tore apart most of what Obama stands for I can just imagine the rage going through his head. I remember the lighthouse story and Obama had better change course.
He looked like he was asleep most of the time.
Michelle seemed to react rather positively to him…probably because he was really black and really understood the black experience. Unlike her half-breed husband who lived a life of comfort learning about Marxism from people who had the economic freedom living under a Capitalist system.
Michelle applauded Dr Carson because he is AA which takes precedence over all other components of his speech.
Barry’s a small, petty man. He couldn’t even pretend to like what the good doctor said, couldn’t even laugh that eagle and its “left and right wings” story. For the life of me I can’t understand why others think him “charismatic.” People with actual charisma are gracious and Obama has yet to demonstrate graciousness to me.
Lighthouse Youtube version.
I’ll bet it annoys Obama that Dr. Carson is black.
Yep. And like one commenter in the article says, the good doctor is prolly on the drone list now.
Doc Hayward, “Dr. Carson Hits A Grand Slam”

The whole family watched it. A message for our time. His joy, concern and sense of humor helped deliver the message to the listener.
This guy was really terrific! I kept hearing about this speech all day yesterday and finally last night I sat and watched the whole thing. I loved the part about HSA accounts…a little off topic but I have some suspicions about the direction the gov’t is taking HSA accounts. I have had one every year for over 5 or 6 years and have never had any problems…the last two years and especially this year so far I am being hounded by them for documentation on every single little thing I use the account for. AND they cut how much you can put into them this year. The gov’t doesn’t like them because they can’t get their hands on more of your tax dollars because of them. Pisses me off. But if they want to go head to head with me in a battle of bureaucracy?…BRING IT ON. I keep everything!
Same thing with pre-tax medical accounts. They’ve cut the things you can use the money for – no more over the counter purchases at all.
It’s amazing Barry/Barrack was able to stay awake. If you look at his daily schedule, he rarely does anything before 10am.
Proverbs 11:9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
Proverbs 11:12 A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue.
OBAMA: “You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
FREDERICA WILSON: “Trayvon was hunted down like a rabid dog. He was shot in the street. He was racially profiled.”
JESSE JACKSON: “Zimmerman told police he had killed him. Shot him in the back of the head in self-defense.”
BENJAMIN CRUMP: “profile, pursue, confront Trayvon Martin and then kill Trayvon Martin in cold blood.”
Did you mean to post this on the daily GZ thread?
No, I thought it applied to Zero and his race baiting friends as Dr. Carson opened his speech by reciting Proverbs 11:9,12.
I saw this speech too, but I’m not sure what to make of it. I read Think Big a few years ago, and Dr. Carson mentioned Kurt Schmoke (former Mayor of Baltimore, credited as a philanthropist for bringing a Soros front into the city) as a very honorable guy. I don’t think Dr. Carson is conservative.
I loved Dr. Carson’s frequent referrals to the perils of political correctness while the King of Political Correctness sat there thinking, “He’s talkin’ ’bout me.”
Amazing words, delivered with feeling. Not a TelePrompTer in sight
The movie abut his life is on Netflix (and others I’m sure)
The title is “Gifted Hands” and is a great watch.
Sean Hannity had Carson on his show tonite. Either he or O’Reilly noted that the last time they saw that look on Obama’s face, it was during the debates with Romney. I was thinking the same thing!
What a conservative pleasure he is! I listened to his speech twice and sent it to all I know. Inspirational and energizing.
