——Ben Carson=Surgeon General?——

Perhaps, but I think a better and more powerful position would be health care czar. That is, Dr Carson would operate from the executive office building to meet with Dr Phil Roe and the other Republicans in the congress with health care programs to assemble the best aspects of all into something that can pass

He needs freedom away from the existing bureaucracies

Obama care can be rejected and then destroyed, but there will be new programs to solve some of the problems that created the mess

I have come to believe that the reason Dr Ben is running for president is to obtain name recognition and a leg up for the czar job

Also, behind him are CEO’s that want a leader out of the congress to oversee the process. Some bright soul recognized that Dr Ben was not only qualified, but available

Healthcare czar might work or perhaps head of DHS (though many of us would like to see many of the agencies disbanded). Or, possibly the VA hospitals (though I’m not totally sure about his managerial skills and we need someone to go in there and kick patootie, clean house and get things changed around quick so that our Vets get the care they have earned and deserve, which is something that Trump has said repeatedly he wants to do).

Far better idea good catch bert.

I'm now listening to Sharyl Atkisson talking about gitmo closing. She's getting some of this wrong by even interviewing a Miami Herald reporter,they are always biased.
We are spending 4 million per terrorist in gitmo,most expensive prison on earth.
Gitmo needs a lot of “change”. Big question where do the worst of the worst go,she uses Lindsay Graham as a spokesman, she could have done much better...IMHO.Alan Grayson as a spokesperson?
Not one of Sharyl's best reports,IMHO.
Atkisson ends by saying what we already know that zero will EO gitmo’s closing. No surprise here.
She ends the segment by using a spokesman who basically says gitmo was created without a good legal grounding.Its been a cluster ever since. Each prisoner is a different type of animal.Some could be killed others not legally killed.
“Anyone who believes they wont go back to the battlefield from gitmo is a fool,if i had known what i know now we would have killed them all,spokesman used by atkisson,better take but still weak assessment of gitmo,IMHO.

She's now talking about FOIA and how badly it works,well done.She has personal experience which is the best a reporter can get.

Besides recognizing that a sovereign nation needs borders (not undocumented boarders) and not be a lawyer, I would prefer that the next President of the United States eliminate all positions in the federal government that include the word "Czar" in the title.

Imperial Russia used to have Czars. That country disappeared and was replaced by the Soviet Union, which is also gone.

Now, Baraq Obama has tried to use economic policies that helped make the Soviet Union what it is today (not there any more), but it is time to stop using terms and titles associated more with totalitarian forms of government and start using only titles associated with representative republics or democracies.
