Pelosi claims renowned brain surgeon disturbingly unqualified to lead HUD
2016-12-06
[Democratic Leader] "Dr. Ben Carson is a disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice to lead a department as complex and consequential as Housing and Urban Development.

"Our country deserves a HUD Secretary with the relevant experience to protect the rights of homeowners and renters, particularly in low income and minority communities, and to ensure that everyone in our country can have access to safe and affordable housing without facing discrimination or homelessness.

"There is no evidence that Dr. Carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibilities and impact on families and communities across America."

#26  Agreed.

#25  Seriously, I think Romney would be good at the VA; I've gotten the impression it's in dire need of a "turnaround artist" like him.

#24  He hasn't run anything like this as far as I know and therefore doesn't have experience.

True. He'd be better off as Surgeon General or head of HHS.

Want to Make the Dems heads spin? Put Romney in at HUD.

#23  The person the dems had lined up to run against Mitch McConnell. Yeah, even with Mitch, we dodged a bullet...

#22  Trump should have put Milo up for the position with the intent that he'd have fun at the confirmation and then step aside when he got bored screwing with the Democrats.

At that point put Carson up for the position and they'd be slobbering for his peaceful demeanor.

Then put Milo up for another position....

#21  Pelosi is a dim bulb. Carson isn't. She literally can't fathom what it means to be Carson.

#19  This sounds like a ringing endorsement to me...

#18  Yes, because her district in San Francisco is such a model blueprint for "Housing" and proper "Urban Development"...

#17  But...but...but...he's pro life, dammit!!! That disqualifies him from walking on the face of the earth as far as Pelosi is concerned.

But, really, his job at HUD should be quite simple. Fire everybody. Sell off all the assets. Shut it down and save the taxpayers of this country several billion dollars.

#14  I'd love to hear her bring her concerns to the confirmation hearings

I don't think they have ever had to try and confirm an outsider before since he is not a politician or bureaucrat and has a IQ. The Dims will no doubt be havin to Google what his answers mean.

#13  He hasn't run anything like this as far as I know and therefore doesn't have experience.

However, he is a sharp guy and at this point would do worse, and most likely a hell of a lot better than the current corruptocrats that populate Washington now.

#12  I'd love to hear her bring her concerns to the confirmation hearings and compare Carson against previous occupants of the job.

#11  cuz Julian Castro was soooo qualified at age 40 as a 5 yr Mayor of San Antonio, with the "right values". F*CK her in the ear

" In July 2016, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel issued finding that Castro had violated the Hatch Act by commenting on the 2016 campaign while giving an interview in an official capacity; Castro admitted the error and ordered his team to improve training on the Hatch Act."

Racist!

(cause if I said a community organizer who had no record of achievement at in his Illinois or Federal governmental positions was unqualified for president, that's what they would call me)

#9  Well I guess we'll just have to confirm Dr. Carson and see how he does right Nan??

That was you attitude for Obamacare. Just do the opposite of what she says and things will be fine.

#7  Pelosi should sue her embalmer for malpractice.

#6  and to ensure that everyone in our country can have access to safe and affordable housing

That's impossible. Any subsidized, short supply good becomes a nest of corruption and croneyism.

I wish Dr Carson all the best in his new position, but it is truly a herculean task. Ref The Labors of Hercules.

#3  What will be interesting is how Ben deals with a lot of HUD occupents who don't want to get a job and would rather live off the taxpayer. Being that he is a self made man watching him try to "help" those people will be interesting.
