Imagine the howls of racism if journalists treated Obama with the same condescending disdain they show Ben Carson.
Trevor Noah Calls Ben Carson’s Bluff, Proves Obama More Heavily Scrutinized Candidate
The Daily Show host digs up some footage that proves the media were just as tough, if not tougher, on President Obama than they are being on Ben Carson.
Now that Ben Carson has taken the top spot in national Republican primary polls away from Donald Trump, he has faced an expected amount of extra scrutiny from reporters, who have recently called into question his story about stabbing a childhood friend, his theory about the Egyptian pyramids, and more. But is the press really vetting Carson any harder than they did a little-known Illinois senator by the name of Barack Obama eight years ago?
On Monday night, The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah set out to disprove Carson’s recent suggestion that as a Republican he was receiving unfair treatment.
“Maybe it’s me or where I’m from, but this is weird for me,” Noah said. “So, the media is saying, those rumors about you having a clean record and you being an upstanding member of society, those things are true, and Ben Carson is, like, ‘Bullshit! I'm dangerous and I try to kill people. I should be president!’”
Later, Noah played a clip from a recent combative press conference in which Carson remarked, “I do not remember this level of scrutiny for one President Barack Obama when he was running. In fact, I remember just the opposite.” The candidate added, “If you could show me where it’s happened with someone else, I would take that statement back.”
“Hmm… so if we can show you where that’s happened with someone else, you will take that statement back?” Noah asked with a knowing twinkle in his eye. “Challenge accepted.”
What followed was an impressively comprehensive supercut of some of the most damning media reports on candidate Barack Obama leading up to the 2008 election.
“Yeah, so they vetted Obama to the point where they questioned that he was a legitimate, natural-born American citizen, but at least no one never accused Obama of not stabbing a guy,” Noah concluded. “He got off easy.”

Now Playing DHS reportedly botched digitization of immigration docs
Never autoplay videos
A Department of Homeland Security agency spent more than $1 billion in taxpayer money to digitize immigration paperwork -- and after a decade of work, only has managed to put one document online.
The Washington Post reported Monday that officials at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services still are only able to offer a single form -- out of nearly 100 -- for online applications, and make a single fee payable electronically.
All other forms can still only be filed with paper.
The report sheds light on a struggling effort that not only has frustrated immigrant applicants but raises national security concerns and could put at risk any effort to overhaul immigration policies.
The project was originally supposed to be done in 2013, for a half-billion-dollar price tag.

Now, according to the Post, it isn't projected to be done for another four years and could cost over $3 billion.
"It's a huge albatross around our necks," Kenneth Palinkas, former head of the USCIS union, told the Post.
The report from the Post described a startling sequence of mismanagement in the program.
According to the report, agency officials did not finish a basic plan for the new system until three years after the initial contract was given to IBM, rendering part of the plan outdated before work began.
Only three forms were ever digitized, but two needed to be taken down after problems. The only available online form is an application for renewing or replacing a lost green card.
According to the Post, even that system has had problems and delays.
While DHS officials acknowledge these setbacks, they say the department has abandoned earlier plans and is moving toward a new system based in part on cloud computing, according to the Post.
USCIS also defended its work in a statement Monday afternoon.
"USCIS is actively working to go agile and move our application processes online. The Transformation initiative is developing that capability and will allow us to eventually move away from processing 8 million paper-based benefit requests a year," the agency told FoxNews.com. "But fixing a broken immigration system is not easy and this has taken longer than originally planned."
The agency said changes have allowed it to process "about 1.2 million benefit requests out of USCIS' total annual work volume," with more improvements to come.

Ummmmm.....they chose different paths. Could the lying Doctor do what Obama has done? Columbia, Harvard, first black president of Harvard law review, senator, president of the United States. Bad resume huh? Lol......the comparison is so stupid. It's like saying " Wayne Gretzky couldn't do what Michael Jordan can". It's a laughable comparison.
