Sad loss.
Indeed
Not a loss. As a member of the President’s Cabinet, Dr. Carson’s voice would necessarily be subordinate to the President, while as an outside consultant, he may be overruled, but not subject to a diminution of his influence.
I see Dr. Carson as an advocate of a number of positions on which the Trump Administration has to either soft-pedal, or have at least the appearance on not supporting. A sounding board is not necessarily an echo chamber.
He will serve in an unofficial capacity as an adviser to the President.
I was so hoping he would be in the cabinet.
Why does Carson need a “business manager” to speak for him?
I’m not sure it is so sad. I think these agencies need to be headed by CEO’s who are enthusiastic about the mission but have lots of experience in down-sizing, rationalization, reduction-in-force, and leaning up organizations. Carson and Ebell don’t have that kind of background. They are very valuable, and can contribute their expertise in many ways, but to run a big organization that needs weeding out, hire someone with those skills. JMHO, coming from an HR background.
Not at all sad if it’s true that he can better serve outside the administration. I am glad that he was offered a spot. He was loyal to Trump and one of the few who kept his promise in the primaries saying he would support the nominee.
I hope Dr. Carson goes on to do fantastic things. I don’t think we’ve heard the last of him.
Unfortunate. He’s a good man, and capable of the job.
His super power is that he is an utterly straight shooter, and a good man.
These are hard to find in Washington.
Did Benjamin Franklin serve in any administration?
