Ben Carson: Pres. Barack Obama Is A ‘Psychopath’

The likely GOP presidential candidate had some harsh words for the President of the United States. 

Likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson just gained even greater respect from his Tea Party base today, when a GQ magazine profile of the 63-year old pediatric neurosurgeon was published. 

In “What If Sarah Palin Were a Brain Surgeon?,” author Jason Zengerle details how Carson spent the evening of President barack Obama’s State of the Union address this year.

Carson had come to the Capitol Hill home of Armstrong Williams, a conservative media impresario who officially serves as Carson’s business manager and who lately has functioned as Carson’s unofficial image-maker and political adviser as well. As the two men turned to the TV, they began dissecting Obama’s performance. 

“He looks good,” Williams said. “He looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks elegant.” 

“Like most psychopaths,” Carson grumbled. “That’s why they’re successful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.”

Psychopath is defined as “a person afflicted with a personality disorder characterized by a tendency to commit antisocial and sometimes violent acts and a failure to feel guilt for such acts. Also called sociopath.”

“He faces the same challenges you will face,” Williams said of Obama as he spoke. “He’s gotta convince people to believe him. That’s all he’s doing: selling his narrative.” 

“But he knows he’s telling a lie!” Carson vented. “He’s trying to sell what he thinks is not true! He’s sitting there saying, ‘These Americans are so stupid I can tell them anything.’ “

Naturally, conservatives on Twitter are thrilled: 

Carson recently came under fire for offering prison as proof that homosexuality is a choice.
