On Wednesday, Sept. 30, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson reflected on his youth. Remembering when he and his friends would be chased by police for mischief, he said, "That was back in the day before they would shoot you."

Daily Kos? Fit Fail 101.

I already know about his upbringing and youth.

I guess Ben Carson is the only one with a past...

You know a guy must be pretty clean when you have to go back to his youth and proclaim he ran from the cops....Seriously, who didn't?

Exactly! At least he is not like Hitlery, she is running from the cops right now!

While interesting, in a sort of whimsically nostalgic way, what bearing does this have on his ability to serve as president?

Does this give him street cred?

That is very interesting that you said that because in another thread, I posted that I regularly ran from the cops and many people criticized me for it saying everything from I must have been a criminal to my parents didn't raise my right.

I quickly attitudes change.


That said, it wasn't that he said he ran from the cops that I found interesting about the story, it was the fact that he say that it was a time before cops would shoot you.

I'm surprised no one caught that.

Never been proven He wasn't either. The object between them is the couch background not His hand from most web pages.

What on earth are you talking about? Obama's hand is clearly on his own lap and the other guys hand is holding a cigarette.

Dude must have a lot of fingers holding that cigarette. Looks like around 8 or so .

I can't tell if they're holding hands but it's pretty clear Obama is high as a kite in this pic.

Is that same couch that Obama's mom got knocked up on by Frank Marshall Davis?

Look under Obama's right shoe and you will see that his hand is on his own lap.

They are not holding hands.

They are not holding hands.

Then why are they sitting so close to each other? Carson is lucky that he wasn't shot.

Obama's left hand is totally on his own lap if you look at the crossed boot.

Because there is a bunch of stuff on the couch.

Actually on a googled site I can't get back to as I was referring to earlier. That under his boot on an enlarged photo of the scene is a background of the couch.Not His hand. And somewhere else he never denied the photo when questioned by reporters about it.
