No, you dumby. You want someone that "knows how government works?" Wow. Real refreshing there Penner. No wonder you're such an undercover hack, or were at least. You wanted more government. Where people that "know how government works," do the governance.

What qualities do you think would be needed?
At least someone who understands how government has to be run.
What do you think would make a good HUD secretary?
I would probably start by trying to identify someone within HUD who had worked there for many years, was familiar with its programs, and had demonstrated organizational and leadership abilities. If I couldn't find someone within HUD who was satisfactory, I would probably look for someone with the same qualities who was responsible for housing and community development for a large municipality or state government.
