Pathological: Most Of Ben Carson’s Life Is A Lie

Check out Cenk Uygur's monologue on The Young Turks (TYT), 20 minutes:

Cenk gives the back-story that gives Ben Carson's lies meaning.

He explains why the real story...of a young Black man who used government aid, his family's support, and his own hard work and dedication to succeed against very tough odds...is not "good" enough to "sell" to the Tea Party evangelicals who buy Carson's books and plan to vote for him in 2016.

Understandably bemused, Cenk wonders why such a great story must be discarded...until he provides the narrative that Carson's story must shoehorn into: young, stupid, violent Black man discovers Jesus, who MAKES him successful and good. With Jesus at his side, Ben Carson will personally protect all you good White folk from all the evil Black folk.

Eesh.

Uncle Tom Ben is seriously unhinged, fellow Americans. He can't remember the intense and often unreasonable scrutiny President Obama endured? And how many times have he and his ilk accused the President of not being who he claimed?

Well, here's a news flash for you: President Obama was in fact able to produce a birth certificate.

According to http://www.factcheck.org/2012/07/obamas-sealed-records/, state officials in Hawaii have said repeatedly that Obama was born there in 1961 and is a “natural born American citizen.”

Obama was not a "foreign student" while attending Occidental College in Los Angeles.

And, no, Obama's records are not "sealed."

At least Michael Baron, one of Obama's professors at Columbia, can verify that Obama attended, completed work, etc.

I recall hearing a "Democracy Now!" interview with one of Obama's law professors at Harvard. I believe the interview was prior to Obama's first term. The man said that both Barack and Michelle were top students, but he had figured Barack for mayor and Michelle for president!

If I can track down that interview, I will post it.
