    Having read about Dr Benjamin before all I can say is she's one cool lady. It pains me to think of what the Republicans will try to do to block her appointment. They've done it with so many other appointees I just feel they'll probably do it again.

      I agree with what you say fsev41. Dr. Benjamin is very knowledgable and she is just as capable as anyone, if not more, to be the surgeon general.

        Obama has made a new pick for Surgeon General, Dr. Regina Benjamin. Regina Benjamin, MD, graduated from Morehouse School of Medicine, and ran a practice dedicated to low income families around Bayou La Route since the early 90s, and moonlighted in clinics and ER's to fund her practice. Her practice in Louisiana was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and again by a fire almost a year to the day afterwards, and she used a cash loan or two to rebuild. Her position on socialized medicine is unknown. Regina Benjamin is a credit to the human race, a great pick for SG – and many would give a cash advance to see someone as qualified take the post.
