| Ben Carson confirmed as HUD secretary |
| 2017-03-03 |
| [UPI] The Senate on Thursday confirmed Ben Carson ... a neurosurgeon who is under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president.... , a pediatric neurosurgeon-turned-politician, as President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Yuck. Carson's been parked in the "black" cabinet post. I thought better of Trump. The vote was 58-41. Carson won over a handful of Democrats, a relative moment of bipartisanship after heated debate and mostly party-line votes over other Trump Cabinet nominees. Carson also received the unanimous vote of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee following his confirmation hearing in January. During those hearings, Carson pledged to uphold longstanding federal bans on housing discrimination and to continue to work to remove lead paint from public housing units. |

| #3 He doesn't rally have political experience, nor does he have management experience beyond the department level. Once he's done this for a while he'll be ready to do other, bigger things. |

| #2 Agreed. Only upside, he'll be immediately available for advice if/when something arises within his true expertise. |

| #1 A Boerboel attending the Westminster. Sadly, a gross waste of talent. |
