Well he is smart, he was a brain surgeon.. That is his specialty. But it may have been a bad idea to put him in housing which is a different field.

I have not heard of those acronyms either.

I wonder if he is uncomfortable in his job, as his speciality is medicine.

If it makes you feel better, Betsy DeVos is still the gold standard for unqualified patronage hires. She makes Carson look like a brain surgeon. And she’s as white as they come.

From now on I'm speaking with Ben Carson's voice.
It really is the definition of cool.

This man doesn't know anything about Real Estate so it is beyond pathetic that he is head of one of the largest Cabinet agencies in the country.
If he worked anywhere else he would of been fired for not knowing his job.
"This man doesn't know anything about Real Estate" and you don't know anything about HUD.

A man who grew up in public housings DOES know a LOT about PUBLIC housing which is what HUD is involved in NOT "real estate"!

We know who the REAL UN-educated are!

You have to remember one thing. Pubs and Trumpists want incompetents in government office. Then when government officials like Carson make fools of themselves it reaffirms their notions of government as inept. As a matter of fact it seems to be the reason that two of the most recent insipid and unfit presidents have been pubs.

Vote in 2020 for competency. Enough of Pub idiocy.

Every time you call him and idiot savant you are displaying ignorance.

That he is - or at least, was. Problem is, he's no longer employed in that capacity. It appears that he's destined to leave a lasting legacy - that of erasing the use of "brain surgeon" as synonym for "smart person".
I bet the CEO of General Motors doesn't know how to change the oil in his own car either.

I think I know what you're getting at. I will pass on it as well since it is true that Carson actually is a brain surgeon, and a damn good one, and I am not going to imply that this highly accomplished black man is white "on the inside".

LOL! The cabinet secretary who head up HUD should most certainly be aware of an REO.


I never actually knew that brain surgeons could be dumb until Ben Carson came along. He should have stuck with what he's good at because he doesn't know JACK about his current government position.


Seems to be a requirement for working in the incompetent Trump Administration.

As I stated in an earlier post...Carson is an idiot savant and therefore should stay within his own expertise as he clearly sucks at this job and is just raking in the extra salary.
And he is raking it in. What with all the new furniture, etc. Just another Trump grifter who hasn't a clue about what he is actually supposed to be doing.

If coming across as a slow-witted moron is now cool, I finally realize why so many in this nation voted for and support Trump.
