Dr. Ben Carson

Dr. Ben Carson poses for portrait at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland, February 15, 2013. Carson says he didn't anticipate the reaction to what he considered his common-sense remarks as keynote speaker this month at the National Prayer Breakfast. But after video went viral of the trailblazing black neurosurgeon taking jabs at Barack Obama's health care overhaul a few feet from the president himself, some want the famed doctor to parlay the attention into a new career: politics.
