Wallace to Ben Carson: Wouldn’t You Just Be Another Inexperienced Obama?

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked neurosurgeon and GOP novelty Ben Carson, who is very vocally teasing a presidential run, if his inexperience disqualified him from the office, especially given the results of Obama’s alleged inexperience.

“After looking at Barack Obama and what’s happened with his lack of political experience over the 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?” Wallace asked.

Shockingly, Carson said no. “I think what is required for leadership is wisdom and the ability to assemble an appropriate team, an ability to listen and make wise decisions,” he replied.

“Our system was designed by our Founders with the will of the people in mind, not the will of the government,” Carson said. “If you want the will of the government, yes, you need people who spend their whole lives in politics.”
