Having worked with Chick Koop and been an appointee myself, the question I ask is why Gupta would want the job? there are clear limits to what any government official can say or do, as dictated by laws, regulaions, politics, tensions with Congress and disputes within the Administration.

Though not privvy to the demands he currently faces on CNN, he’ll be placing himself in the position of ‘clearing’ what he says with a variety of officials more senior to him, held accountable by all stakeholders and fired at the first misstep. He may well be limited in what impact he can have as an official and find it is actually more constraining and provides more flexibility that he currently enjoys at CNN.

All the best to him or whomever lands the job!

Well said, Diana. I think we need to swamp Obama’s CHANGE website with our suggestions. I try to do so as often as possible however I think some other voices might help.
