Really Obama – Gupta? Can't you find someone more qualified than a TV spin doctor to heal America?

Maybe we could get a Hamas doctor to please you guys, and he could treat just you. And his only interest would be anarchy and killing Israelis, he would drive a VW bus, smoke Hash, only wash once every two months, never wash his dreads. And you guys could be LIKE a big family touting world peace and singing kombya. Gupta is the BEST choice Obama did good!!! Civilization trumps your sensibilities or lack of.........

Gupta works for the interests of the big pharma.

Sanja Gupta is a fraud.

I really have no problem with Gupta working with obama. He may seem like he is putting the spin on the news, but can you argue that his reportings are completely false? At least obama appoints someone who knows about the medical field, instead of oil plant managment.

NEW YORK (AP) — If Barack Obama wants a surgeon general with visibility to promote health issues in his administration, it can't hurt to hire a CNN correspondent called one of People magazine's "sexiest men alive."

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon and one of CNN's busiest personalities, is under consideration by the president-elect for the job. Should the offer come, CNN said Gupta has indicated he is likely to take it. Obama will have a man who has interrupted a TV assignment to perform emergency brain surgery and gotten into it on air with Michael Moore.

He has a weekend health show on CNN and has traveled across the country for a series on the dangers of obesity called "Fit Nation." Soon he may have the chance to do something similar for the government.

Gupta, 39, grew up in the Detroit area, the son of parents who moved from India in the 1960s to work at a Ford plant. He earned undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Michigan.

While he works at CNN and for CBS News, Gupta is also a faculty member at the neurology department at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. He performs surgery at Emory University Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital.

Gupta's no stranger to the White House; he was one of 15 White House fellows appointed in 1997 and he advised Hillary Rodham Clinton while she was first lady.

Gupta joined CNN in 2001 as a health correspondent. In addition to efforts like "Fit Nation" and 2008 documentaries on the health toll taken on presidents, Gupta has talked about health angles of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the war in Iraq and Hurricane Katrina. Since 2006, he's also had a contract with CBS News to do health stories on the "CBS Evening News."
This guy is an excellent choice, Moore is splitting hairs because he is JEALOUS that the good doctor is an all American story, unlike his fat sickening ass. The doctors family strives to be American, Michael Moron strives to be UNAMERICAN!!! And MM has succeeded.

Good Choice Majic, this guy looks very intelligent. Moore on the other hand..........

I watched the videos and thought they were a squabble between egos. I think if Gupta is brought on board he will be an asset. Michael Moore is already an asset. What's the problem?

This is a stupid thing, Just because there is a $1000 difference, then he is an idiot?

The guy is great! a Surgeon, Journalist! What else do you want!?

ASDFGHJKL.

The problem I have is that Gupta has direct financial ties to both the media and big pharma industries.

Everything he has ever done for CNN has been sponsored by big pharma or littered with their ads.

As for his medical credentials or standing in the field, I wont touch that.
He is undoubtedly an expert in his fields of study.

If not for his hefty financial ties to the above mentioned industries I would have no problem.

I guess it depends on where his loyalties lay.

Either way its a good choice for Obama.
Either he is right for the job OR he is an enemy to the system and needs to be kept close and in submission.

I to would keep my enemies close and under my direct command, forcing them to work against their own twisted ideals and support an era of CHANGE.

Makes ya wonder what the hell is going on in that brain of his...

I'll take Michael Moore any day over this stuffed mouthpiece for Big Pharma and the AMA (GUPTA). SHAME ON CNN FOR ALLOWING GUPTA'S LIES TO BE FORCE FED THRU FALSE CREDIBILITY ON CNN. WHAT A BUNCH OF MEDIA WHORES WE HAVE IN OUR COUNTRY.

Gupta is a fine surgeon, his problem is the stance he took against Michael Moore who knows his shit on how screwed up the medical system is in America. It is time for single payer health system or medicare for all.

Gupta if confirmed by the senate would be serving the president and will have to do what he tells him.

Maybe it's payback to CNN for giving him a free pass on the campaign trail.
