Dr. Benjamin Carson’s Amazing Speech at the National Prayer Breakfast

I’ve been struggling this morning to find good articles to include in my weekend What I’m Reading post. There seems to be a dearth of good system trading articles written this past week. If you know of any that you think I might enjoy, please leave a link in the comments section.

In the meantime, I encourage watching the video below. Dr. Carson attacks political correctness, the dumbing-down of education, the tax code, and health care reform. It is truly amazing, and even more so, when you consider that Obama is sitting fewer than 20 feet from the man. If nothing else, watching Obama squirm is quite enjoyable.

Wood,
He has written several books, two of which I’ve read. His first book: Gifted Hands, is fantastic.

Good speech that was. Bad math though. He claimed it would take 1/2 millions years to count our deficit (at 1 second/dollar).

In fact, it would take “only” 185,000 years. What a relief!!!
