Complete with profanity, suggested blasphemy, and misspellings!

The theorist:

Chicago community organizer and Harvard Law School

Two years after graduating, Obama was hired in Chicago as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale on Chicago's South Side. He worked there as a community organizer from June 1985 to May 1988.[33][34] He helped set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization in Altgeld Gardens.[35] Obama also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, a community organizing institute.[36] In mid-1988, he traveled for the first time in Europe for three weeks and then for five weeks in Kenya, where he met many of his paternal relatives for the first time.[37][38] He returned to Kenya in 1992 with his fiancée Michelle and his sister Auma.[37][39] He returned to Kenya in August 2006 for a visit to his father's birthplace, a village near Kisumu in rural western Kenya.[40]

In late 1988, Obama entered Harvard Law School. He was selected as an editor of the Harvard Law Review at the end of his first year,[41] and president of the journal in his second year.[35][42] During his summers, he returned to Chicago, where he worked as an associate at the law firms of Sidley Austin in 1989 and Hopkins & Sutter in 1990.[43] After graduating with a J.D. magna cum laude[44] from Harvard in 1991, he returned to Chicago.[41] Obama's election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gained national media attention[35][42] and led to a publishing contract and advance for a book about race relations,[45] which evolved into a personal memoir. The manuscript was published in mid-1995 as Dreams from My Father.[45]

The Practitioner:

Carson's hand-eye coordination and three-dimensional reasoning skills made him a gifted surgeon.[2] After medical school, he became a neurosurgery resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Starting off as an adult neurosurgeon, Carson became more interested in pediatrics. He believed that with children, "what you see is what you get,[2] ... when they’re in pain they clearly show it with a frown on their face or when they are happy they show it by smiling brightly."

At age 33, he became the youngest major division director in Johns Hopkins history, as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery. Carson's other surgical innovations have included the first intrauterine procedure to relieve pressure on the brain of a hydrocephalic fetal twin, and a hemispherectomy, in which a young girl suffering from uncontrollable seizures had one half of her brain removed.

In 1987, Carson made medical history by being the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins (the Binder twins) who had been joined at the back of the head (craniopagus twins). The 70-member surgical team, led by Carson, worked for 22 hours. At the end, the twins were successfully separated and can now survive independently. Carson recalls:

    I looked at that situation. I said, ‘Why is it that this is such a disaster?’ and it was because they would always exsanguinate. They would bleed to death, and I said, ‘There's got to be a way around that. These are modern times.’ This was back in 1987. I was talking to a friend of mine, who was a cardiothoracic surgeon, who was the chief of the division, and I said, ‘You guys operate on the heart in babies, how do you keep them from exsanguinating’ and he says, ‘Well, we put them in hypothermic arrest.’ I said, ‘Is there any reason that – if we were doing a set of Siamese twins that were joined at the head – that we couldn't put them into hypothermic arrest, at the appropriate time, when we're likely to lose a lot of blood?’ and he said, ‘No way .’ I said, ‘Wow, this is great.’ Then I said, ‘Why am I putting my time into this? I'm not going to see any Siamese twins.’ So I kind of forgot about it, and lo and behold, two months later, along came these doctors from Germany, presenting this case of Siamese twins. And, I was asked for my opinion, and I then began to explain the techniques that should be used, and how we would incorporate hypothermic arrest, and everybody said ‘Wow! That sounds like it might work.’ And, my colleagues and I, a few of us went over to Germany. We looked at the twins. We actually put in scalp expanders, and five months later we brought them over and did the operation, and lo and behold, it worked.

I'll stick with the practitioner. Anyone that can use "exsanguinate" in a sentence has my vote.

Miraculous, brilliant surgery.  Unbelievable. 

And yet, the DUmmies call him stupid, moron, idiot, buffoon, and believe he should be stripped of his license.

I wonder if he's ever delayed surgery because the patient's payment was lost in the mail room.

Good question.

[Ballygrl]

I had to go to a Specialist a few weeks ago for something minor, I just got the EOB, the Specialist who spent all those years in Medical School and spent all that money, he got a check from the insurance company for $27.46 now you tell me how many Doctors are going to continue to accept that? Another Specialist we go to will no longer be taking HMO's unless they pay for out of network benefits, which most HMO's don't, and Internists who are not taking in new Medicare Patients, and most don't even accept Medicaid.

The medical stuff is above my pay grade, as O would say, but I'll stick with the Doc too. Plus, anyone who thinks they know more about medicine than a friggin' neurosurgeon is delusional.

[BattleHymn]

There is only one way this could ever work and that would be if a doctor visit was never more than $10, a prescription not more than $20, a diagnostic test nor more than $20 and open heart surgery not more than $500.

Lets see how quickly people LEAVE the medical profession.............

True, but it will open up whole new avenues of work for people like me!

Dr. Battlehymn, D.M. (DUmbass Medicine) is now accepting patients.  Open heart surgery on primitives, only $50.  Aspirin perscriptions, $50.  Amputations, $50.  All tools disinfected by the finest dishwasher (my) money can buy, and only the best hand tools from Lowe's will be used for operations.  Amputations brought to you by Stihl. 

Everything is $50 at Dr. Battlehymn, D.M.'s Office of Primitive Health!   


Just bend over, and say 'ah'.

We've already had that bend over treatment......and look where it got us.

True, but in the name of fairness, Dr. Battlehymn, D.M., will only offer services to primitives.

For the DUmmy who said there was nothing about poor people tithing....

What about the account of the poor woman who gave EVERYTHING SHE HAD as a tithe to the synagogue because of her faith?

Huh? What about that?

If these people were any dumber....wait....can't get any dumber.

Pretty much all of their intelligence goes to their autonomic nervous system or they'd just be dropping like flies.

[BlueStateSaint]

One thing that I realized about Dr. Carson is this:  He's a profoundly humble man, from what I can gather.  His demeanor and actions speak to his Christian faith, IMO.  Anyone who says that tithes are good enough for government in front of the President is a good, decent, and upright man.  (I think that, during Dr. Carson's speech, Obama was thinking, 'WTF?  I asked him to speak for me, not to attack me.') 

It's strange, that we here in the USA get this example of humility (and of courage in dealing with the hubris of Obama), and the next week, the world gets an example of the humility of Pope Benedict XVI.  Think that there's a theme there?

[Karin]

A dose of humility is extremely refreshing in this era of Obama's megalomania and gigantic ego. 

I said in the Shout Box yesterday that Dr. Carson will be on Hannity on Friday night, for the whole hour.  FYI.
