President Obama's nominee for surgeon general, whose job it is to help encourage Americans to get thinner and healthier, has been working part time as a scientific adviser to the fast-food giant that sells sandwiches like the Whopper and BK Triple Stacker.

Dr. Regina Benjamin, hailed by Mr. Obama for her efforts in running a health clinic in hurricane-ravaged rural Alabama, has been paid $10,000 since last year for serving on a scientific advisory board for Burger King, according to newly filed public financial disclosures

Think the Media might have mentioned the connection and/or implied any hypocrisy if she had been a Bush appointee ?
 
I would imagine. The same basic point is that this lady shilled for Burger King. If the Surgeon General had any more power than "World's #1 Grandpa" then maybe I would care a little bit more.

Dr. Regina M. Benjamin, Obama's pick for the next U.S. Surgeon General, is a MacArthur grant recipient who holds advanced degrees in medicine and business administration.

She is a family practice doctor who runs her own medical practice, the Bayou La Batre Rural Health Clinic that treats predominately poor patients in Bayou La Batre, Alabama.

She was the first Black woman to be elected to the American Medical Association board of trustees and became president of the Alabama Medical Association, making her the first African-American woman to be president of a state medical society in the U.S.

To refer to her as "sister" in stereotypical Amos n' Andy dialect is offensive and racist.

LOL... dumb *ss cracker.
 
This is a clear case of discrimination. Her qualifications are what President Obama considered, not her weight, color, height, or any other physical attributes.

Dumbass, the issue is her ties to corporate America and specifically Burger King. It's your race focused mind that can't see that.
 
This was not said about Everett Koop, the past SG Abraham Lincoln look-a-like, or any other white appointee that had a few doughnuts under their belt.

Just white folks doing what they do best, knocking a Black person, they find reasons to diminish the accomplishment.

I guess they were happy with the inept Cardona or whatever his name was under Bush, who was totally clueless and spineless.
