FOX: Is Obama’s New Surgeon General Appointee Too Fat For The Position?

I was going to mention how overweight Barack Obama’s new Surgeon General nominee, Dr. Regina Benjamin, was when he first announced his decision to appoint her.

I thought it was ironic that the Surgeon General was overweight when obesity is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

But I’ll be honest: I feared the wrath of some of my calorically challenged readers if I mentioned it. So I’m glad that Fox News brought up her weight problem instead.

I also remembered that Obama only appoints people to positions within his administration to curry favor with the minorities that they represent — not because they’re actually qualified for the job.
