(CNN) -- Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, has withdrawn his name from consideration as surgeon general of the United States, an administration official said Thursday.

"Sanjay Gupta was under serious consideration for the job of surgeon general," the official said in an e-mail. "He has removed himself from consideration to focus more on his medical career and his family. We know he will continue to serve and educate the public through his work with media and in the medical arena."

You know, cover up his face and you’re looking at the body of the majority of today’s models.

Would Sanjaya do worse if placed in a position of national responsibility than some of those in power today?

According to this thread in January, Gupta disagreed with Michael Moore’s sicko, and there has been opposition to Gupta from the left:

“Gupta did a report on Moore’s documentary, and he said Moore had fudged some of the facts. Here is the exchange Gupta had with Moore on Larry King Live in July of 2007”

There is a video on the link of Gupta and Moore disagreeing with each other.

After watching the video at my above link, I believe it explains why Gupta is withdrawing his name:

He continually tells Michael Moore that National Health care is not Free, but we will be taxed highly and that
Medicare is going bankrupted. He explains that our Healthcare system is a precious commodity and shouldn't be placed in the hands of the government.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Howard Dean, a practicing physician before entering politics, was under consideration by the Obama administration for the post of U.S. surgeon general, CNN reported Friday.

YAAAAAAAWWWWW.What a maroon. He'll be just perfect.
