The Oversight Committee holds a hearing, "The Surgeon General's Vital Mission: Challenges for the Future." The hearing focuses on the importance of the Surgeon General's Office, the need to preserve the Surgeon General's independence, and recent limitations on the Surgeon General's ability to carry out its public health education mission. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton questions Richard Carmona, who resigned as Surgeon General in 2006, testifies about what he viewed as political and partisan pressure regarding issues ranging from stem cell research to abstinence-only education.

  • I know why you write this, MM. However, America - just like a lot of countries - has ALWAYS had a SOMEWHAT corrupt government here and there. Nixon, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and now "Shrub". The current Bush government is merely more grossly open about it than the others. And we look back and see other corruption. But yes, the current US government NEEDS to be changed. All people thrown out and start again. The unwholesome ties with business and religion are just awful.

  • I am glad that this video was posted. If it really is you, Thank you for posting, Ms. Pelosi. I appreciate being able to see these things for myself. I've one question, though. If it really is you, why didn't you move to impeach? Bush should be GONE! His criminal government should be in prison. This is further evidence.

  • what the hell has happened to our beloved country and it's leaders ? It's all become crooked with the Bush Admn. We seem to be turning into something unrecognizable to most Americans growing up since the mid 50's. Why are we sitting back and allowing this to happen ?

  • The Republics don't wan us to have mental health. If we are healthy mentally, we won't be AFRAID! That is their main tool of manipulation - why would they want us to get better? This guy actually gives a crap, and look what happened.

  • I didn't think medicine could be politicized as well, man I was naive.
