[macjazzy]

The White house announced today Pres. Obama's choice for america's top doctor.....and she's a fatty.

Although newly sworn in Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin says weight is not a health issue if you "feel good"

[clayinaustin]

WTF???

[Wrinkleface]

Fit 4 sure!!!!

[Ted]

Shhhh, she is the proper color, so that means she is best for the job.....no racism here.

[Sea-Dated]

Just another example of "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude that most dems have.....

[Ted]

Oh, this is it:

Benjamin is founder and CEO of the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. Bayou La Batre is a small shrimping village along the Gulf Coast. Benjamin was the subject of a Reader's Digest article that chronicled her efforts to rebuild the clinic after Hurricane Katrina.

Forrest Gump got her the job

Actually stress is more unhealthy than being fat...among other things so she has a point.

and she´s got the Hooters.... should be a knockout among fellow citizens or what I´ve noticed about the grown up men overthere still needing to be breast fed

[sy goldberg]

she should have a hull number somewhere.

X wrong.. fat leads to diabetes which she probably has which will chew you up and spit you out.... its becoming the general consensus that obesity is as bad if not worse for long term health than smoking...

[MikeyFIN]

A family member of mine smoked from the age of 12 to 77 all his life and mostly cigarillos or cigars...
And he didn´t die of lung cancer or any other cancer... but 3 weeks after his wife had died.
So Stress made it.

Other than that I agree on diabetes and obesity.

Big mothership...

[ThrottleUp Props]

Her names rhymes with Vagina.

Not to be confused with "A-lot-a-***ina"!

Got her medical training for free using National Health Service Corps, under which medical students promise to work in areas with few doctors in exchange for free tuition, one year of service for every year of paid tuition.

Mortgaged her house and maxed out her credit cards to rebuild after Katrina

I didn't know much about her until now, but I'm impressed so far. Now if she could just put down the Ho-Ho's and lead by example since obesity is one of the biggest (no pun) issues facing Americans.
