I will be the first to say Ben Carson will surprise everyone and do a superb job.
I heard him speak in Charlotte a year ago. I knew then he was not a dynamic enough personality to win the presidency, but his remarks on urban renewal were some of the best I’ve ever heard.
He will approach this job with outside the box logic, tenacity and much prayer.
I’m excited to see what he does. Trump saw his possibilities even before Carson did. It’s a brilliant choice!
So much of government bureaucracy is basically: “This is what I’m going to do — because this is what we always do. Because this is just how it’s done. It never works, and I don’t know why it never works. But I’m going to do it. Because that’s what we always do.”
As outsiders like Carson come on board, there will be massive shake-up. Because the old ways are just indefensible.
Especially considering that team Trump should well know the nuts and bolts guys to best serve efficiently running the agent under him.
Carson will be a very good leader and spokesperson for policy changes that make a real difference here.
You are absolutely right on all counts.
In Gifted Hands (the movie about Carson), it showed how Carson as a neurosurgeon figured out a way to separate the two heads of a little baby without killing it or destroying it’s brains.
Such a surgery had never succeeded before, and his success gave him the fame he so well deserves.
To me, the movie showed a man with a brilliant mind and compassionate heart who cared about solving a problem and had the capacity to figure out the best way to do so—even if it might be risky and seemingly impossible!
God bless Ben Carson!
