The CNN-as-employer aspect, however, kind of bothers me. No doubt Gupta leaves CNN if confirmed for SG position... but the connections - Gupta, CNN, Obama, favorable press - give me an uncomfortable feeling... kind of like Chicago politics' incestuous relationships.
Lou Dobbs is a CNN face...So was a Conservative commentator now with FOX.
Broad brush here, King.

I'm not painting... just expressing discomfort here, Prince.

I didn't realize Lou Dobbs served on a president's Cabinet... whose Cabinet and which position did Lou have?

Wanna bet that Gupta will not make it until Obama's swearing in and will have to resign early because of some scandalous thing in his closet?

Hey...it seems to be a pattern from the "change" administration of St. Obama! LOL

I think it probably had more to do with the two bosses he would have. It was mentioned in the story. Did you miss or intentionally ignore that little tidbit?

My own opinion, I'd be willing to bet that he looked at this Administration, and Sebelius in particular, and said no thank you. The my way or the Highway attitude they have that sent Gregg packing has got to be pretty tough to work under. How many Docs do you think want to see Nationalized Healthcare? Or are willing to take a pay cut to go to D.C. and promote?
