Fox News host Chis Wallace told Fox contributor presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson that “at best you are a distinct long shot” during a Sunday morning interview.
Wallace asked Carson:
You say, and this is a quote, ‘The likelihood is strong’ that you will run for president in 2016. Do you really want to spend the next two years begging people for money, shaking hands, eating a lot of bad meals, when I think you would agree, at best you are a distinct long shot?
After Carson said that America needs him that “sometimes we’re called to do things we don’t want to do because we have to do them,” Wallace went on to compare him to President Obama asking:
After looking at Barack Obama and what’s happened with his lack of political experience, over these last six years, wouldn’t putting Ben Carson in the Oval Office be akin to putting a politician in an operating room and having him perform one of your brain surgeries?
Carson responded:
I don’t think so. I think what is required for leadership is wisdom and the ability to assemble an appropriate team, an ability to listen and an ability to make wise decisions. Our system was designed by our founders with the people in mind and with the the will of the people in mind, not with the will of the government.
