"President Barack Obama nominated for surgeon general a rural family physician who has faced hurricanes, flood and fire to care for impoverished patients along Alabama's Gulf Coast. Obama says Dr. Regina Benjamin understands the needs of the poor and uninsured, making her uniquely qualified to be America's doctor as his administration tries to revamp the health care system." Breitbart.com
She's uniquely qualified to be America's doctor because she understands the poor and uninsured. What does that say about Obama's view of America?
"For her part, Benjamin on Monday ticked off preventable diseases that have claimed nearly all her relatives—diabetes, high blood pressure, lung cancer. She pledged to fight so that, in her words, "no one falls through the cracks as we improve our health care system." -Breitbart
Are you kidding me? Dr. Benjamin couldn't save her own family. It sounds like they fell through the cracks, but she is somehow qualified to show America to make bricks without straw?
The President's choice is an Obamanation!
She fits perfectly in Obama's view of America: serving the poor and uninsured. We'll all soon be living in the land of poor and uninsured. No jobs. No insurance. No future, but a life of servitude to the One.

I read this post and recalled reading a story about her in Reader's Digest sometime back.
In Dr. Benjamin's defense, she sounds like a class act. She has survived a boatload of adversity, and yet she is driven to keep going, helping anyone who needs her help, regardless of their ability to pay. She's the real deal. Here's the link to the RD story. Take a read and see if this doesn't change your opinion of her a bit:
