Ben Carson Calls Out President Obama as “Unfit for Office”
The brilliant
Dr. Ben Carson has written a scathing piece about the Obama administration’s
failings for the National Review Online. He titled it “Unfit for office.” So
that should tell you a little bit about the direction Dr. Carson was going to
take article.
The Benghazi scandal. Mistakes were made – fine. We should want to figure out how and why these mistakes were made and what we can do to correct them. That is not what the Obama administration is doing.
This should not be a partisan issue, because the implications of ignoring or prevaricating about the underlying mistakes will have far-reaching consequences…
Making mistakes is part of being human, but the ever-increasing deception that is necessary to cover those mistakes when honesty is abandoned is evil. Those willing to ignore evil for political reasons should question their fitness for leadership of our nation. In this case, a blatant falsehood was promoted — namely that the Obama administration had international terrorist activity directed at America under control and that the Benghazi incident was a spontaneous action resulting from the outrage of locals who had viewed an offensive anti-Islamic video. Undue importance was placed on promoting an image of U.S. strength during the weeks immediately preceding the presidential election of 2012.
Again, I must emphasize that if we, the American people, the American press, and the American political class, participate in the cover-up or ignore such an important story, we contribute to the demise of honesty and truth as pillars of our governing structure. In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon put it this way: “If a ruler listens to lies, those who serve him will be wicked.”
