"It appears the doctor is in.

Former Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson is close to accepting the position of secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet, a GOP source with knowledge of the offer told Fox News late Tuesday.

The source said Carson would consider Trump's offer over the Thanksgiving holiday before making a final decision."
I hope that He takes whatever position he is offered. Trump needs people like him in his Cabinet.

    He is a great addition! With his rational approach and brilliant mind, plus he has no ambition for power or corrupt special interests. Ben Carson is an example of a poor child who was required to value education by his single mother . She left his father when revealed he had a second family. When at a parent teacher conference she learned Ben was failing at all aspects of school. She then tasked Ben with reading 2 books a week and he then had to write 2 book reports. Carson states within 6 mo.s he fell in love with reading and learning. Several years later he found out that his mother could not read his reports. He went on to be a brain surgeon.
    Now that is a roll model for any kid to emulate.
