Ben Carson's unintentionally hilarious reason for declining a position in Trump administration

[NYcarbineer]

"Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has told President-elect Donald Trumpthat he isn't interested in serving as secretary of Health and Human Services, a Carson ally confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday...."

His friend Armstrong Williams cited Carson's reason:

"Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency."

Uh, Doc, you RAN FOR PRESIDENT. Remind us when you warned America that you would cripple the presidency if you became president...

Sounds pretty unlikely. Trump has to fill 4000 positions and he is going to have a very difficult time finding that many people who are even half-way qualified willing to work for him. He is going to end up like GWB with a bunch of unqualified loyalists running things.

On one hand I highly respect Carson's reasoning but overall I couldn't help feeling like here I am, welcome to the Twilight Zone. I admire the guy's character and wish him the best.

Thanks for sharing OP, it starts my day with a chuckle.

I wonder if it's actually the Bannon appointment. Of course, Dr. Carson has always been on his own planet, so who knows.

Irony

It isn't quite the same though, as president you are surrounded with advisors, as a cabinet member, you're supposed to be one of those advisors.

He might be good for Surgeon General, although I'm not sure why we need one. Also he may be sick of politics and wants to get back to retirement.

Yeah, that's why they made a movie about him, because he's so far out there. But the racist angle is par for the course for you.

I say close down the Executive Branch and use the extra cash for the wall.

No one will miss them but you.

On any normal day the bureaucracy can run itself but during a crisis the danger of appointing a bunch of sycophants is readily apparent. "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job".

Do you really think everyone running in a primary expects to be there at the end? Some run to get their message across.

If only Obungles had felt the same....

So if someone asks them if they can win, it's okay to lie? It's okay to take money from hardworking Aemricans who might think the guy is running for president to BE president?

Just as OK for a party to rig the system to get the nominee they wanted, and not the one the rank and file wanted.

Dirty pool is all over the place.

A two wrongs make a right argument is an admission that your opinion is wrong.

What "wrong" was done by Carson?

You got called on faulty logic, and now you whine like a little bitch.

Take your spanking and slither back into the darkness.
