Representative John Conyers has written a letter to colleagues, urging them to join him in publicly opposing the nomination of Dr Sanjay Gupta for Surgeon General. After winning the presidential election, Barack Obama has already faced some criticism from his colleagues for his choices in his cabinet. John Conyers is one of the old school politicians

The president-elect ran his campaign with the slogan of change. Change is doing politics in a more efficient way. Dr. Sanjay Gupta has shown that he’s a very capable and intelligent man. Gupta is a medical doctor first; he certainly understands the problems related to health. Gupta also has excellent communication skills and is known to people.

Hopefully, Dr. Gupta will not listen to his detractors and will accept the position. As the Hutu of Burundi say, “The fetus that is afraid of criticism is never born.”
