“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace on Sunday broke it to conservative Dr. Ben Carson that he doesn’t really have a chance in becoming president.

“You say, and this is a quote, ‘The likelihood is strong’ that you will run for president in 2016. Do you really want to spend the next two years begging people for money, shaking hands, eating a lot of bad meals, when I think you would agree, at best you are a distinct long shot?” Wallace asked Carson.

Carson replied that while he would like to relax, America needs him. He said that “given the state of our nation” he understands that “sometimes we’re called to do things we don’t want to do because we have to do them.”

Then, after acknowledging that he is friends with Carson, Wallace compares him to President Obama.

“After looking at Barack Obama and what’s happened with his lack of political experience, over these last six years, wouldn’t putting Ben Carson in the Oval Office be akin to putting a politician in an operating room and having him perform one of your brain surgeries?” Wallace asked.

“I don’t think so,” Carson responded.

“I think what is required for leadership is wisdom and the ability to assemble an appropriate team, an ability to listen and an ability to make wise decisions,” he said. “Our system was designed by our founders with the people in mind and with the the will of the people in mind, not with the will of the government.”
