Mr. Obama named Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey as two of the people to receive the Medal of Freedom Award today. Isnt that confusing? CNN reached out to both President Clinton and Winfrey for their thoughts on receiving the award, but there was no immediate response. Evidently they where both also confused! Here would have been an appropriate recipient.... Dr. Ben Carson attracted a lot of attention for his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. He criticized President Barack Obama for his positions on taxation and health care. He announced that he was officially retiring from his career as a surgeon the following month. Many have wondered whether Carson will be pursuing a run for political office. That October, he was hired by Fox News in October 2013 to work as a contributor. Because of his unflagging dedication to children and his many medical breakthroughs, Carson has received more than 50 honorary doctorate degrees and is a member of the Alpha Honor Medical Society, the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans and sits on the boards of numerous business and education boards.
