The Nanny State biting the Nanny State in the (big fat) butt.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of fascists.
She’s just “big-boned!”
Surgeon General is probably the most worthless position in the government, which is hard to acheive.
The Media’s lovefest with Obama has turned sour.
No worries, she's a liberal, therefore a hypocrite, and will have no problem with the old "Do as I say, not as I do" mantra.
Hey I know, she could be the next Jenny Craig spokeswoman and we can watch her over the next year losing the weight, culminating in TV commercials of her coyly posing in a bikini.
But she’s got a pretty face.
Obama should have named her “Lasagna Czar.”
Apparently she also wants all medical students forced to learn abortions
Seriously, she not that fat. I'd do her after eleven beers and a shot.
Of demerol.
She's a baby killer.
That's the main qualification.
It would be ironic is a chubby Surgeon General would start a ban on transfats.
Some sort of weird voodoo magic the author subscribes to. If she cuts off a finger, will millions also lose one by this magic?
Norbit II, the sequel...
Starring Mubarak Hussein Obama...
Now, now!
She is not overweight, she is just under tall.

The man appointed a known tax cheat as Secretary of the Treasury. So why should anybody be surprised when he appoints a fat beast to head the Public Health Service?
She has the most important qualification for an Obama nominee: She’s a pro-abortion Catholic.
>>In fact, if this Alabama physician can connect with fat Americans of all ethnic groups because of her own weight, she stands a very good chance of reaching them about the problem.<<
Uh, I don’t think so. Being fat shouldn’t disqualify this person from being surgeon general, but the writer’s statement is off base. If you’re overweight, seeing and being around fat people makes you feel like you’re fine the way you are. It’s seeing thin, fit people that spurs you to action. I was about 30 pounds overweight until I started working in an office where the two bosses are triathletes and one of my co-workers (probably inspired by the bosses) lost 140 pounds a few years back. Being around that bunch made me feel like a slob, and I’ve lost weight because of it.

I’ll say it again...
I and several members of my family have met Dr. Benjamin, and though we’re on opposite sides of the political spectrum — I respect her, her sacrifices and her work..
I disagree with her position on abortion - but there isn’t a SINGLE Republican politician I agree with 100%.
I believe this woman to be HONEST, INCORRUPTIBLE, DEDICATED to SERVICE with ACCOMPLISHMENTS that are undeniable. What you see is what you get.
She’s a DOER....she walks the walk.
Folks can function and get past being over ideal weight, but once stupid, they’re stuck. We’ve got far too many of those stupid bastards in office already.
