3. It's about time. We certainly need someone in that post right now, and she's Pres. Obama's pick....

The Repubs are so full of it to hold up this qualified woman's appointment. But we knew that.

6. There are a lot of programs assigned to the SG in the new HC bill!

I only got through the first 100 pages but I snickered when I saw all those assignments ans said DAMN, we dont't have an SG! You can't imagine how many things that have been assigned to the SG & the Sec of HHS! Sure hope they're both up to it!

7. From Bayou la Batre to the national stage.

The view is about the same. This fine lady knows her way around a disaster, and we believe she'll be a great U.S. Surgeon General.

Congratulations, Dr. Benjamin.

What will it take to loosen the Dawn Johnson nomination?
