    I came to this site to find a comic strip but find myself having to educate people. Here it goes again. Carson became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at age 33. He has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations, and written over 100 neurosurgical publications.

    He also had to fight for his patients rights when the hospital refused to give patients surgery for one reason or another. Politics whether it is medical, or anything else are the same, just a different subject.

    Carson came from being at the bottom to rising to the top.

    The people on this thread, that think Carson is not qualified, I say you are very uninformed , and there fore not qualified to leave a comment.

    It will be an interesting experiment. The Right have been loudly proclaiming that expertise in government is bad, bad, bad. Well, now we have an an abundance of those with no expertise and experience in government, and we will see how well they do. (Given the results of the Tea Party expansion in Congress a few years back, I don’t have great confidence in there being a high probability of success.)

    Well, Castro played fast and loose with the money he was responsible for, and he used his position improperly, so Carson should be an improvement.

    From Huff, 8/11/15 “With the blessing of the White House and the Justice Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is attempting to sneak through a major policy change that would enable big banks convicted of felonies to continue lending through a federal mortgage program, according to federal records and government officials.”

    Politico, 5/19/14: "San Antonio failed to properly spend funds approved by Congress to combat the housing crisis while President Barack Obama’s expected nominee to run the Housing and Urban Development Department was mayor of the city, according to a 2012 report from the agency’s inspector general. "

    The Hill, 7/19/16: "President Obama won’t discipline Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Julián Castro for violating a rule prohibiting federal officials from making personal political statements while presenting themselves in an official capacity. "

    .

    Sorry, forgot for a moment that Dems can do worse things than GOP folks, but it’s all right. Never mind.

    The nonsense logic of this decision is perfectly obvious to a Trumpanista:

    Urban = black

    Carson is black

    Therefore: PERFECT!

    Tea Party Nikki Haley will dismantle the UN the way she has done it for the SC Pension fund($29B lost in 10 years); the highways and roads of SC – but she arrainged for $$$$ in Tax Breaks for any company that wanted cheap labor and no unions.

    Carson is very qualified. He’s lived in houses for his entire life & even has portraits of himself in his current house. He’s a world famous brain surgeon now.

    .

    HUD can print some high quality reproductions of Carson’s portraits to place in every unit under their purview. That’ll give those urban lowlifes a role model!

    Carson reminds me of the main character in “Being There.”

    If this were a democrat president nominating a black for HUD secretary; democrats would be accusing any Republican who opposed the nomination as being a racist! Will the hypocrisy on the left never end? Doubtful.

    At least he told the truth when he said he was totally incompetent and totally unqualified to run ANY government agency, while running for POTUS of course?

    Pretty well, I’m thinking, given the GOP propensity for wanting to destroy government.
