Dr. Ben Carson is catching up to Donald Trump in the national polls for the Republican presidential nomination. Because of his overwhelming support among GOP voters, he is now being asked constantly about his lack of political experience.

Does this mean he is unqualified to be America’s Commander-in-Chief?

So many people have asked Dr. Carson this question, that he just went on Facebook to explain why his critics are wrong. This lengthy letter is epic, and is already going viral!

This is why Dr. Carson is Barack Obama’s worst nightmare. WHOA!

He points out,”You are absolutely right — I have no political experience. The current Members of Congress have a combined 8,700 years of political experience. Are we sure political experience is what we need?”

And reminds us everyone who signed the Declaration of Independence has no political experience. In contrast, today’s politicians turn our Founder’s vision upside down: “They demand pensions and perks. This is not what our Founders envisioned for America. I spent my life treating very ill children. Over 15,000 times I gave my all to prolong their lives. I was blessed to do it. But when it came time for me to retire, I simply could not sit back any longer. These children became my family. What our government is doing to them is outrageous.”

Here is his entire letter, which was posted on Facebook recently:

Dr. Carson grew up poor and has lived the American dream. Clearly, he is qualified be President. He’s certainly more qualified than Obama!
