Dean for Surgeon General - or Health Reform Director

Gupta's out and I don't care why.  The Health Reform Director still hasn't been cast. Can Dean please have either of those jobs, for which he is so obviously well-suited? It's probably because I live in the blogtopian bubble but I feel like he's been auditioning for them for months now.

Now that you mention it, this is a no-brainer. He's an obvious choice and would be, I think, a welcome one by many of us. So why isn't he on the list?

Howard says no to surgeon general:

The surgeon general gig is not as policy-heavy as, say, the job of HHS secretary, which Dean wanted. “He’s happy with the work that he’s going to be doing, particularly on health care,” the Dean ally said.

  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
