Dr. Regina Benjamin, President Obama’s nominee for surgeon general, is receiving quite a bit of bad publicity because of her weight. The curvy 52-year-old, who has been nominated to be the public face of the United States’ healthcare program, has been slammed by bloggers after pictures of her (and her chubby cheeks) circulated across the Internet.
