Exactly...God only knows why we even *have* a Surgeon General.
See Post #31
Maybe this was about Ben doing a little negotiating himself. I dunno. I do know what Trump did at that debate was not a gesture missed by Carson.
I wonder if he took a look at Christie vetting crew and just had second thoughts on being involved when he saw it was made up of paid lobbyists. I believe he refused the job when talking to Christie.
I look forward to the day when the term “professional educator” disappears from our lexicon. Put any reasonably competent business owner in charge of that department, and give them free reign to run it as they see fit with a minimal number of mandates.
Even Jeb was tougher. Americans wanted a strong fighter in this election.
Surgeon general or?
Maybe the speaking gigs aren’t coming in as fast as Armstrong Williams told him they would.
From what we saw on the debate stage, Ben would be ineffectual at running a large complex organization like HHS
most of the time he stood there as if he was stoned
Nice guy but reached his Peter principle pinnacle as a surgeon
Harris who? Or who Harris, are you referring to?
Bush brushing by them like that was powerful and significant from my perspective.
Surgeon General is a meaningless token role like Poet Laureate. Trump should delete the position.
But if Carson does not get some kind of position, he will be a bitter back-stabber.
Sec. of Education is an important position because there is so much damage to unravel.
My suggestion ( and it's a good one! ), is that ALL teachers are trained the way the old Normal School ones were and we go back to teaching by rote, memorization, NO PC/revisionist history, and bring back the study of great lit.
I could fix it all, in two shakes of a lamb's tail! ;^)
Arnn is the perfect man to bring back classic American Education, with heavy logic and being able to think.
I want to Harris her...
He’s ugly.../S
Dr. Carson would wear the Surgeon General uniform better than one of Obama’s early picks. Remember Regina Benjamin, the chubby Surgeon General picked in 2009? Neil Cavuto was among many who thought she was inappropriately overweight for that position. Didn’t matter, since she was also black. Two special interest cards (being black & a woman) trump another special interest card (being fat) .
