Has Surgeon General been Picked Yet???

[qwlauren35]

Personally, I want someone like Joycelyn Elders who is willing to talk about birth control, STDs, etc.

Did I miss the announcement?

1. I believe Gail Rosseau is supposed to be getting it

[qwlauren35]

2. Can you tell me anything about her?

I'm embarrassed to say that I'm getting a bit tired of Obama choosing either well-known politicians or Chicagoans.

Nor do I get all that excited about a neurosurgeon. But I'll wait and see.

3. Would Howard Dean be interested in the position?

4. I love the smiley faces you use

They always make me smile. :hi:

5. he's not qualified. He has no public health background.

6. Seriously?

I looked through the bios of some of the prior people selected and many of the physicians don't have any more experience than Dr. Dean has..

8. Wait a minute.....

Isn't being a physician considered having a public health background?

What am I missing?

.....

10. I think his qualifications are just fine

Furthermore, if the things he did as governor of Vermont don't count as "public health background" I have no idea what does.

7. Well, if VilSuck and Warren are any indication

I suggest you all start locking up your cats at night.......

:scared:

9. Whatever happened to Frist anyway?

.
.

Did they drop the investigation on his bogus stock corruption?

Martha Stewart had to spend what... ... 5 months in jail and this guy's dirty dealings were ten times worse than hers.

Wonder why he was never investigated??

11. Probably threatened someone's cat and got off the hook

[snowbear]

12. Ahhhhh...

.
.

That poor puddy.

But *sigh* you're probably right about Frist. ...They didn't even so much as investigate the cat killing doctor. Or if they did.. they didn't do anything with it.
