Washington, DC -- Incoming president Barack Obama appears to be expanding on the steady stream of abortion advocates he is appointing to top administration posts. His latest choice appears to be pro-abortion CNN medical reporter Sanjay Gupta to become the next Surgeon General.

Although Gupta spends most of his time reporting rather than opining on the topics of the day, he appears to favor abortions.

Didn't think he had the chops to win AI much less SG.

I saw something about this yesterday and my first thought was “I wonder if he is being considered simply b/c Obama saw him on TV.”

P.S. Go do some brain surgery under fire on our injured troops (like he did) and then you’ll have the right to complain..

Go back in history to the start of this war on terror..he was covering the stories I think in Afhgahanstan, and there was a critically wounded soldier brought in and they did not have a surgeon there who could treat the soldier. Gupta dove scrubbed in and took over the surgery to save a life. He got hell from some in the media since he was there to cover a story..but his reaction as a doctor took first place. Maybe someone with more skill at finding this story can help with more details,

No surprise there . . . after all, Obama wants “accidental” newborns to be disposed of in medical waste hampers if their mothers want them dead . . . so, more of the same.

I’m sure Bambi got him because he was tired of being accused of picking only Clinton retreads. And he probably did see him on TV or at any rate know that he’s a celebrity, so this is probably a tiny pay-back to the press.

These positions are mostly ceremonial anyway, and as for being pro-abortion, believe me, Bambi wouldn’t even consider anybody who’s not. So I think we don’t have to trouble our heads about that question.

Hopefully, Gupta is not as rabidly kill-em-all pro abortion as his boss, who is extreme even by pro-abortion standards. We shall see, I guess.

Since Hussein Obama smokes, I hope he is made to stand OUTSIDE the White House as all of his liberal social engineers have made the rest of us who smoke in publicly owned buildings do . . . and the White House is publicly owned. Can’t wait to see him . . .what . . . 20 feet from the front door smoking a cigarette . . . wouldn’t that be cool?

This is probably the smartest pick out of Obama’s other picks (Panetta as CIA head? lol). Gupta is no joke. He’s got the resume and real world credentials to fill the job...unlike his soon to be boss. Might not agree with his politics (I assume he’s a lib) but at least he can do the job.

It should be more than 20 feet- I think on military bases our soldiers cannot smoke within 50 feet of many buildings. I have seen signs to that effect.

He is certainly running laps around the Joycelyn Elders Pick already.

I have to agree. Gupta at least has some brains and is qualified. Nice smile too. Hopefully he’ll do the job right.
