Clearly, the conservative pediatric neurosurgeon wasn't impressed by Friday's jobs report. From Vibe magazine: "'If President Obama wants to be a hero in the African-American
community, he should do something to alleviate the 'abominable' Black
unemployment rate in America,' says Dr. Benjamin Carson. The head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, Md., who was the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins,
has continued to ride the wave of momentum from his last speech by
speaking out on the economic policies of the Obama administration by stating that they've been harmful to Black Americans."
More: "'I think the best thing that he (President Obama) can possibly do that
will help minorities is to enact policies that allow for growth of the
economy,' said Carson. 'Because when you look at the employment rate for
instance in the African American community, it's abominable. And the
policies that have been enacted have only made it worse. They have not
made it better. So if he really wanted to be a hero in that community,
let's start doing some things that make sense economically and get the
money flowing.'"
