The CNN personality is Obama’s pick for Surgeon General. I like it.
If you believe, as I do, that the Surgeon General’s top job in the Obama Administration will be convincing Americans that the obesity epidemic is a real crisis, Sanjay Gupta is your man. I know, it’s easy to lump him in with Dr. Phil and all those other lightweight TV “doctors.” But the man has tackled obesity before, is a university professor, advised Hillary Clinton on health policy when she was First Lady, and most importantly, has the pitchman skills to get Americans moving. You could even argue that having TV talent is the top requirement for the Surgeon General at this time. And dare I say it, you would be correct.
