Surgeon General - Health Care Reform - Looks Like a Nice Person

Who is the new Surgeon General? Oh, and, who is the Ambassador to the United Nations? I hate to have to bring this up but I see a trend here. Sort of obvious, but these are positions where well known people with great influence need to be in place. Both of these people seem to be nice people but neither have the background to bring the influence of the Office to bear on the problems and opportunities that are there to deal with. One has to ask he question of why is this working out this way? Is it that the blinding light that President Obama has generated as a personality that has allowed these people to be put into place? Wouldn't we like to have someone like General/Former Secretary of State/Former Ambassador to the United Nations Collen Powell as Ambassador to the United Nations? Well, I hope you get the point. Why isn't he?

And, Health Care Reform - a Surgeon General that has never dealt with these matters outside of her clinic? This is not a criticism of either of these people just questioning the people and process that have put these people in place. Don't we need a Powerhouse in this Position at THIS TIME of Health Care Reform? "Doing The Right Thing" Here are two areas where this is needed. My guess is if you look, you will find more of this. I do think it is a trend that is troublesome.

More later............my 2 cents. And, don't forget the COL for Social Security.......we seem to have money for some very special interests outside of this country but not for our Seniors. And, don't forget the millions that are going hungry in this country. That's all I am saying for the moment.
