But, yeah, let’s make jokes about a brain surgeon not knowing an acronym.
He has a cabinet level position, is he somehow excused from knowing his job because he was a "brain surgeon"?

Most members of congress don't know how to perform "brain surgery", but somehow think they should be creating a healthcare plan.

You can defend him but he stepped up his bafoonery by sending the Congresswoman a package of Oreos and actually posing with them and taking a picture.
you didn't know what an REO is.

it's spelled buffoonery

I don't care about the politics of the last 20 years as much as noting that there is credit and blame aplenty, for all to share.
indeed. plenty of blame to go around.

financial markets/Wall Street guys and gals were at the front of the line, and caused the most damage.

Of course, as someone recently, we digress from the OP's completely non-partisan topic.

You've never been an executive have you? To get so deep into the weeds would be asinine for that executive level post. It's leadership 101. Can't lead if you get stuck in the weeds. Too busy to do your actual job: Manage!

So people expect Congress Members to be an expert on everything, including every cabinet position, but they think it's fine for the HUD secretary not to know a basic housing related term. Does Ben Carson care, no because he has no shame and no class like the rest of the Administration starting from the top.

This thread should be moved to "Politics and other Controversies" since it was obviously just started as a vehicle to bash Donald Trump and his cabinet, and has zip to do with real estate.
