list of cabinet positions and current status

Is this really some record setting delay on appointments as Trump claimed today?
Of the open positions:
1 hasn't been selected by Trump
1 is Acosta who was just nominated and should get through quickly.
The other 7 are fairly complex and questionable, including Carson and Perry.

If Acosta and 3 others get in shortly, that talk should be over or will it continue to be blamed for lack of progress through the first year?

Why is Carson questionable?

Because the HUD is extremely important or something.

Who knows what it does, besides chiding rich whites for not living in the ghetto, and chiding not so rich whites for moving to the ghetto and raising the property values.

I believe "questionable" is liberal code for conservative black.

Thats pretty much the same kind of reasoning that had me oppose Obama. He was just one of the guys in the neighborhood, but every time I talked to him he would shift the topic to his love of Communism and hatred for America. He was so predictable in this that it almost seemed like he was brainwashed.

Well there's the straw that broke the camels back....not.

Perhaps the man really wants to make improvements in these areas?

One patient making such claims is hardly any basis for disqualification.

Anyone working in health care could agree on the merits I'm sure.

Unfortunately our electorate is continually fooled by the media headlines so yea, the optics of this do not bode well for Trump......however, saying his cabinet is only 24/33 full does not include the obstructionist views of the democrats who continually want him to fail instead of doing their f'ing job and pushing them through.
