But only now -- after googling for photos -- do I realize that it's not about Depak Chopra.
If it weren't for the cleft in Depak's chin, they could be related.
Even though the Surgeon General job is largely symbolic, this nomination makes no sense at all.
Another thread going with this information.
But I wanted to state here too, this is the guy who advised Hillary on her Universal Health Care and in Feb of 08 was whining about how California voted down socialized medicine.
But politically he's still a Hillarite.
Roe Conn on WLS Chicago just commented that the events over the past several days make him feel like he’s dreaming, and he’s going to wake up and say, “Honey, I just had the strangest dream — Sanjay Gupta was going to be the Surgeon General!”
Brilliant Neurosurgeon who routinely ditches the mic and camera for gloves and a scalpel when he runs into catastrophically wounded american soldiers on the battlefield, while covering wars.
If I were Prez, I would appoint some homeless person to the post and brag about giving someone a job he/she could easily handle— which is nothing at all. Just abolish the damn thing.
It doesn’t make a lot of sense but Gupta has a good reputation as a surgeon and routinely steps in to operate on soldiers.

Second choice is Dr. Phil...
Will Ronald McDonald head up the FDA?
No word is that he and the burger King are fighting it
out to head the FFA. the Fast Food Administration.
It’s supposed to be on PPV saturday night.
Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, and Marcus Welby were on the short list.
****Will Ronald McDonald head up the FDA?***
Has anyone else noticed this pattern? Where are Obama’s colleagues and associates? Is he too afraid to name them? Are there only more Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrns in his Rolodex?
From the list of appointees he has presented so far - they are all Clinton retreads or celebrity pundits. This idiot has no depth of experience, quality mentors or friends of long-standing and accomplishment.
He is a totally empty vessel.
I’m far more concerned about the CIA appointment than this one.
It has become politics by celebrity. Gupta is not real, this is embarrassing. Stay away from TV personalities, our national intellect is thin enough as it is.
Look at Caroline Kennedy, Gov Patterson, Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo — when are the “real” people going to arrive? These lucky people are all benefiting from their family names rather than their accomplishments.
And I thought the Dems were against he power elite maintaining their power. It’s OK so long as it is a Dem getting the power.
Obama is going to bring the American Presidency to a new level of unseriousness. It started off badly with the “Office of the President-Elect”, and it’s only become worse since. Obama is like a child. He belongs nowhere near the White House.
