Sanjay Gupta

Here is a cool story I just found.

Sanjay Gupta has been approached by the Obama transition team for the position of Surgeon General of the United States.

I am all for this, for many reasons.

First, Gupta rules. The guy is young, charismatic — hell, he is even on Facebook. He is in touch with the younger generation, which i think is important in this day and age. Dr. Gupta would bring enormous credibility to the position.

Second, I like where Obama’s head is with this pick. Clearly, he is staffing his administration with notable people across the board. For whatever you think of Hillary, she is very accomplished and a proven leader. His Vice Presidential pick has credibility and experience galore. Sanjay is very well known, respected - some might say a hero for what he has done over in Iraq.

Hopefully, he accepts.
