Carson for HUD Secretary

[NightTrain]

Happy to hear Dr. Carson will be part of the Administration after all!

President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday he has chosen former campaign 2016 rival Ben Carson to become secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.


Trump said in his statement that he was “thrilled to nominate Carson,” adding that he “has a brilliant mind and is passionate about strengthening communities and families within those communiuties.”


Carson had recently downplayed having any role in the Trump administration, saying that he didn’t know where he would fit. But in a statement on Monday, the retired pediatric neurosurgeon said he felt he could "make a significant contribution particularly by strengthening communities that are most in need."


"We have much work to do in enhancing every aspect of our nation and ensuring that our nation’s housing needs are met," he said.

Another example of rewarding your posse. A surgeon in charge of housing and urban dev. What the fuck does he know about housing and urban development.

Did you complain when Obama gave the same job to Julian Castro, who had zero experience for that job?

Didn't think so, hypocrite.

Looks like when Cuomo was given the gig by Clinton he had zero experience.

Roy Bernardi by GWB. Looks like Preston had little to no experience in that field either.

As a poor kid growing up in Detroit, embarrassed to be buying groceries with food stamps, I'd say Carson has a hell of a lot of experience with it, for starters.

His first pair of glasses were free, enabling him to see the lessons on the chalkboard and allowing him to participate, enabling him to pull himself up by his bootstraps and become a Neurosurgeon. Yes, I'd say he has personal experience of how the system works and how it can be improved upon.

Is it because he's black that you don't like him, Petey? Racist.

Julian Castro was a mayor of a major city. Nice try.

Think so? I've run circles around you, Petey, so my logic appears to be functioning at a much greater level than yours.

Also, it enables me to pick a winner when it comes to Presidential Elections.

I think our track records speak for themselves, Petey. What say you?

​Your personal opinion does not change his experience compared to a surgeon
