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.”

Newt gave Carson’s nomination a thumbs up and that’s better than any voice on this forum.

She’s not in the Senate. She doesn’t get to vote.

This democrat ( in name only because it’s actually socialist) concept of the use of HUD and its impact on the suburbs was unveiled during the Zimmerman case. When (after Obama’s use of the Bully Pulpit claiming the assailant was a victim of white racism. HUD urged creating mixed income housing developments replete with public transportation as a solution .

Okay Nancy, and what qualifications did non-voting short-term Senator Obama have to be the President? What? Special grooming and affirmative action? Read below about Dr. Carson's credentials.

Dr. Ben Carson was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland from 1984 until his retirement in 2013. As a pioneer in neurosurgery, Carson's achievements include performing the first and only successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.[3][4][5][6][7] Carson became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at age 33.[8] He has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations, and written over 100 neurosurgical publications.[9] In 2008, he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.[10]

Pelosi, you actually think this man who grew up in poverty and later excelled to the highest level as stated above can't administer HUD? I'm starting to think you're somewhat of a RACIST! How does it feel?

"There shouldn’t even be a HUD."

As I said, it could easily be absorbed into Health and Human Services (HHS).

Nancy, you pass stuff into law without reading it. There has never been anyone less qualified than you to hold public office.

Ben Carson grew up in Public Housing. Not sure any other HUD head had that experience.

My favorite quote from Dingbat. And she said this multiple times.

“Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.” - Nancy Pelosi

Don't know what a single apartment goes for in Frisco, but it is one of the highest rent districts in America.

Racist bitch! She’s only saying that because he’s black. Apparently, Andrew Cuomo was a MUCH more qualified candidate to be HUD secretary that Dr. Ben Carson - at least in Pelosi’s tiny little brain.

But I know, never confuse the Whiners Choir with inconvenience facts. They MUST find something to whine about here daily.
