Margaret Hamburg for FDA Commissioner

The Kaiser Network Daily report confirmed today that Margaret Hamburg is in the running to become FDA commissioner as I mentioned a couple days ago in my blog “Rumors”. I certainly agree with Senator Kennedy that she would be the best person for this position. Frankly I am a little surprised that she would consider it given the wealth of her experience, however, I think it is a testament to her humility and experience that she recognizes the contribution she could make in this position. The FDA is broken, has been broken for a long time, and Peggy Hamburg is the kind of person who could fix anything. Go Hamburg. Now let’s hear a little more about Podesta at DHHS.

Rumors

Rumor has it that Margaret Hamburg, MD, may be in the running to become the nominee as FDA Commissioner. She, in my opinion, could be the DHHS Secretary with her credentials. Having said that, I would be proud and pleased to see her as the new FDA Commissioner. She could have an amazing impact in turning that place around. On another note, there is some discussion about John Podesta being the DHHS nominee for Secretary.
