Meet Candy Carson: The anti-Michelle Obama

After nearly eight years of the East Wing’s politics of mope and complain, it’s refreshing to see a presidential candidate’s spouse who is always smiling.

Candy Carson — wife of GOP 2016 hopeful Dr. Ben Carson, mother of three sons, and grandmother of two — is the anti-Michelle Obama. She’s a quiet but confident ray of sunshine: down-to-earth, devoutly Christian and proudly patriotic.

While Mrs. Obama first gained notoriety carping about racism and trashing America, Mrs. Carson helped kick off her husband’s 2016 bid by playing the violin with a gospel choir as they performed a joyful, rousing rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.

I met the couple, who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, a few weeks ago during a campaign stop in Colorado Springs. Dr. Carson’s dazzling career as a Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon is well known. But Mrs. Carson’s own personal story is remarkable as a standalone exemplar of the American Dream achieved.

In retrospect Michelle falls short,but how quickly people forget the media comparisons to other great first ladies.Magazine covers galore and countless network segments touted her greatness (before she fell from grace).If we all would just calm down,take a deep breath,and allow the next first lady(whoever she is) to actually prove how great she is first and then immaculate we would do ourselves a favor.

Hey 8:06 What the hell are you saying or talking about? Michelle hates this country , having said that , I hate her . If she doesn't recognize this country then she should join ISIS and move to the middle east , she would love that. Also she's a racist bitch.

The Carson's are wonderful role models for children and young adults. Willing to put time in to learning, working on their further education, working to make their way in the world, teaching their children morally and ethically. What a wonderful testimony to not only their children, but also for their grandchildren! She mentioned being a good steward of the money that was available in her childhood home. You don't hear that much today!
I salute a wonderful couple that are not self absorbed!

The only thing that is 'pitiful' 7:03 are those who would stand up for and support MO. That's what is pitiful! It's 'pitiful' how low some have sunk that they would take up for and excuse her. She's a race baiter, she lies incessantly, and she makes excuses and takes up for a lying no good spouse.
Now you need to go and immediately read the Bible and repent because you are s sinner of the worst kind. You and your filthy ilk have enabled the 2 degenerates to spread their evilness throughout the county. You need to repent before God punishes YOU like He is punishing black communities nationwide with a rssh of violence for turning their backs to Him and supporting those here on earth like the obamas who are doing nothing more than the devil's work. Repent because you too will be punished. God doesn't like those who take up for the devils.

I am 7:03
My comment has nothing to do with Mrs Cane, who I greatly admire and respect
My comment has nothing to do with Obammy's woman, who is best described IMO by the single word " beetch"
