WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President-elect Donald Trump (all times EST):

10 a.m.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is calling the decision to tap Ben Carson as head of Housing and Urban Development a “disconcerting and disturbingly unqualified choice.”

Pelosi says the country deserves someone with “relevant experience” to protect the rights of homeowners and renters.

In her statement released Monday, she says “there is no evidence that Dr. Carson brings the necessary credentials to hold a position with such immense responsibilities and impact on families and communities across America.”

Baltimore wasn’t blighted then.

Cities weren’t blighted before 1968.

Conveniently, she left around that very time.

Actually, we have to confirm him, because Pelosi doesn’t like him.

Have to admit I wasn’t too enthused with Carson’s appointment but since Nancy is disturbed with it then, Go, Carson, go!

Last time we had a black rocket scientist who was unqualified. This time we had a black brain surgeon who is unqualified. Government positions must be really, really hard for black people.

Nancy "We have to pass the Bill to see what's in it!" Pelosi has not a single leg of credibility, nor shred of integrity left upon which to stand. She's a treasonous Socialist whore who has annihilated and gleefully danced upon the scraps of her Oath of Office, and committed Treason against America during wartime.

She should be castrated.

Oh yes, you must! At least throw us a small bone.

My mother’s family was in business in Baltimore, very strong ties. She knows it well, and her friends - well, some of them are the Italian type - maybe they could relate even more (believe me, we’re talking conservative types, no commies).

The fact that Dr. Carson is a talented and accomplished surgeon does not mean he's a good choice for a cabinet post.

Who would you pick?

Listen, I have personal connections to Dr. Carson.

He fixed my nephew’s head as a baby.

Completely selfless, when thanked by my mother and sister, he stated that they should give thanks to God. He is only an instrument.

2nd, we have a family friend who has been a nurse at JH for years.

She said however staff and surgeons were behaving (which could be a bit low-class, apparently), they would attend immediately upon his entry. This included specifically a meeting regarding a dying child, wherein he commanded such respect, one could just feel the room stop, and all ears on him for the commands.

He is the strong silent type. The kind who commands attention by his aura.

Yah, those Gummint department head jobs must be real, like, intellectual and stuff... right? I mean, not just any pioneering Board Diplomated Advanced Micro-Neurosurgeon can just walk in and do it... right?

We can elect a black community organizer (who, for some reason, legally sealed all his college records) to the Oval Office...

...but one of the most brilliant and accomplished rags-to-riches, ghetto to Surgical Theater savants alive is somehow just 'not up-to-snuff...'

When will we dispense with PC politeness and just publicly acknowledge that Pelosi is dangerously retarded? Nancy, you poor misguided slut!

I admit that I am not and never have been a Carson supporter, and while I don't have a name I would hope that whoever it was would be someone whose spokesman did not publicly state he felt unqualified to run a government agency. Someone who can keep track of his luggage. Someone who was not basically a joke as a candidate. I know Trump wants diversity in his cabinet but I have to believe that there are other candidates who can do the job competently, keep a low profile, don't make waves, and allow the President a chance to concentrate on more important areas.

This from the nasty woman who thought herself qualified to teach the US Catholic Bishops what St. Augustine really taught?

I think that Dr. Carson, despite San Fran Nan's objections, will be just fine.

“he felt unqualified to run a government agency”

Exactly the sentiment George Washington stated when appointed to general of the armies in 1775. He did not feel “equal to the task”.
