From storm-tossed Ala. clinic to top doctor post (AP)

AP - When Hurricane Katrina wrecked the little clinic here in the coastal backwaters of Alabama, Dr. Regina Benjamin laid out medical charts to dry in the post-storm sun and hopped in a pickup truck to check on her patients. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

well, hopefully she will bring medical ideas of the 21st century to the position instead of the 12th century bush administration policies. if you mentioned the word "condom" during the bush years, it was a no-no

There doen't seem to be any qualified white male doctors? What is with this guy...most all his nominee's are minorities. Do you think Obama is a Racist....maybe Michelle can now be proud of America......maybe Reverend Wright is now preaching God Bless America? It seems that Minorities are now the Majorities with Obama selectee's. Has anyone done the math on the demographics?

Figures, he is adding more and more libs to the mix. Things I do hope she brings to the table are more awareness for minorities regarding health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and other illnesses brought on by poverty. Oh wait, I forgot nobama is going to give all the poor better medical care and screw the rest of us that have to pay for it. Why the heck do we need a surgeon general anyway?

Another Presidential moment courtesy of President Obama. I'm sure he has made a good choice. Plus the fact that this country needs more AIDS awareness, I'm sure this southern doctor will perform nicely.

Well you knew that she was going to be Black, so that should not surprise you, but what you all need to understand is that any person that he picks to fill a seat will have the same radical beliefs as Obama!!!!

Are you serious?! I think Obama is turing out to be a RACIST too!
Every one of his appointees are Non-White! He is doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he says others before him have been doing. So what is he REALLY saying? That whatever "color" the President is, he should surround himself with the same "type" of people??

This guy has got to go! He is making America MORE racist, not less. HIs entire political life if FOCUSED around race!

more affirmative action being shoved down your throat. he has chosen not a regular doctor, but an activist socialist doctor to further reorganize America as if it's a community in the South of Chicago.

what do you know....such a diverse president. I mean, he is like no other president we have ever had. he makes such rational and well thought decisions. he doesn't see in color, he gives everyone a chance, black, brown, yellow....that's it, right? I didn't leave anyone out did I? I am just glad to see that he doesn't make his decisions based on color or sex.

Louis your a racist. I dont see anywhere your ability to defend the united negro college fund, the miss black america pagent, etc. Those are both racist but not only allowed to exist but embraced. If Bill Gates stated the United White Christian college fund would that fly? This country has gone too far in the reverse discrimination policies and as such will only cause more problems. We can only hope and pray the middle of the road is found before the country completely falls apart. As far as Obama, just another corrupt politician paying back for votes, bringing in his own personal views and racism.

Is this a race thing or affirmative action? Just playing the race card before you all do.

another Black. The problem is so far Blacks have not made a major impact economically, politically, even militarily see Gen. Colon Powell, he lied instead making America a better place, and now we will see what Obama will accomplish. This will be the major test for this country. So far blacks get positions , but then you don't hear from them much anymore. Look at Rice. What the heck did she accomplish, she wouldn't stand up to Bush if her life depended on it. Then just check out about all the blacks that run major large cities in America, what happen to Detroid, what happen to LA....what happen to Cleveland and on and on. Chicago still in the running because of the Daylies.

Make NO MISTAKE White-America is being targeted for extinction by Obamnomics, and Obamappointees.

ALL WHITES must now vote STRICTLY on the basis of COLOR.

WE HAVE NO CHOICE. How sad it has become. What we tried to do with "diversity" and "Equal Opportunity" has been used AGAINST US! We must now see the error of our ways. No one wants to be "Equal", but a people will USE that philosophy to engage and destroy us from within.

At least now we know we must stay true to our own AT ALL COSTS!
