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.
“I’m a chubbist” lmao at that statement
THIS IS LUDACRIS. THW WHOLE STORY IS LUDACRIS
Caloric challenged???
Hello All. Hell, according to recent stats, America is about 25% obese, with black Americans leading at 34%, so SHUT the F@CK UP Faux News!
Blank stare.
I think this is sexist. If the appointee were a man, no one would have thought twice about the weight.
WTF type of f*ckery is this
‘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.’
He also does it because those people contributed handsomely to his campaign,and out of friendly loyalty and because they share his Saul Alinsky-like vision for the future of the USA.
Obama himself is not qualified for the positiion he holds so what makes anyone think he has the ability to hire those who are actually qualified for THIER positions?
Wow!!
:smh:

Her weight was your motivation. J/K.
Ppl think because someone is fat that they are unhealthy. I know many skinny chicks with more health problems than they can count on one hand.
@ Mika
when i was in camp….one of the gymnastic(sp) instructors was a big gurl….and she was amazing
hey Sandra…when the health care reform happens i hear they capping Nurses pay at 40k!!!!
See starr…it’s not all about appearances…it’s how well you do your job!
Sandra…what makes her unqualified for the job. Are you familiar at all with this woman’s bio. She is more than qualified by her education and work experience alone. She’s been a patient advocate her entire career BUT because she isn’t a size 2 then she MUST not be qualfied — GTFOH with the madness. Folks’ obsession with image is just crazy. How she looks has NO bearing on her ability to do the job.
@anti-pc…If Obama is unqualified to be POTUS, I’d love to hear your thoughts on GWB who might I add appointed his buddy, Michael Brown to head FEMA. And, look at the fantastic job he did handling Hurricane Katrina. Been to New Orleans lately….
WOW
I believe it’s mostly about her sex as others have mentioned but additionally, she’s not too fat for them….she’s too black from them!
Why is it that some ppl love to throw around the word un qualified now that we have a black President? In all my years of following politics I don’t recall hearing that word until now. I guess having white skin makes one automatically qualified hands down no questions asked SMH n rolling my eyes
i know Sandra has no love for Obama, but please find other sources of your bashing other than FOX News they get away with straight racism and call it the 1st amendment. all blacks dont have to like Obama, but there are other Independent and even Republican views out there about Obama that arent as tasteless, classless, and racist as FOX News! and who said that the Surgeon General was “obese” the muscle head on FOX….GTFOH! i bet is she asked him to be her trainer hell be “drinkin the kool-aid” too!!
How dare you or anyone else bad mouth my soror! She is doing her thing, and weight should not be an issue. I bet she can outrun half these skinny chicks in the game. Why must people pick and choose who they support because of how they look?
@love I didn’t know she was a Delta how lovely
Yep she is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
