September 29, 2015 The Joke About Mrs. Ben Carson’s Appearance Is No Laughing Matter , 8 Comments

There’s a particularly mean meme about presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson and his wife, Lacena, aka Candy, circulating around social media. In the meme, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are striking at the China state dinner Friday. President Obama is dressed in a well-tailored tuxedo, and the first lady has long, side-swept hair and an off-the-shoulder, custom-made Vera Wang gown.

The contrasting picture of the Carsons was taken in May, on the day Carson officially announced his candidacy for president in Detroit. He is dressed in an unremarkable but still presentable blue suit. It’s Candy Carson’s appearance that makes the meme funny to some (but not me). She is wearing a hairstyle and patriotic ensemble that is unflattering, ill-fitting and dated. The meme caption is a play on a popular DirecTV commercial that clowns its cable competitors for being subpar.

    And you are helping this situation HOW? Who are YOU to judge what Candy Carson is wearing? I happen to see nothing wrong with her outfit. However when I look at Michele Obama's Vera Wang dress I think of how pretentious she had her husband are, and how WE are paying for it.

    Yes, I suppose Michelle and Barrack are looking rather dapper. But remember...it has taken 7+ years and millions of dollars to finally reach this image. I believe the majority of the Americans would rather their President and First Lady look more like Dr. Ben and Candy instead of a couple who just walked out on the Red Carpet in Hollywood.

    It's not the outside appearance, but what's on the inside that counts. 'Nuff said?

    Though she may not be the sharpest dressed woman, I have more respect for Mrs. Carson than Mrs. Obama. Michelle's clothes may carry a hefty price tag and look stunning, but clothes don't make the man(woman).

    Candy Carson needs a professional make-over. I don't understand why this has not been arranged by Ben Carson's campaign advisors.

    That is disgusting and hurtful. The Carson's are a nice looking couple and he obviously is proud of his wife. On the other side, yes they look very sharp and I guess WE THE PEOPLE
    can be very proud that we dressed them well!! How much did that cost us??? Knowing what they have done to our country doesn't make them very attractive to me!

    So one couple is wearing sneers and one couple is wearing smiles. What is more important, the price of the clothes on their bodies or the value of their hearts? No contest on this one!
