His pick, Dr. Robert Califf, is the former professor of cardiology at Duke University, where he led a research department that was funded by Big Pharma. On top of conducting medical research on Big Pharmas dime, Dr. Califf was also a paid consultant for drug companies including Eli Lily, Merck, and Novartis. Reports indicate that he donated that money to non-profit organizations since the mid-2000s, but thats still a very cozy relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, considering they have funded his entire career.
Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio appears on The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann to discuss this.

that Hillary HAS TO APPOINT INSIDERS as a cost of getting a Democrat in the White House (Bernie has already proven that to be false); or lastly, that they just don't care who she appoints (honest answer)!

Who is more upset about Clinton's formidable debate and BGazhi performances, factions of the left wing or factions of the right wing...I call it a toss up?!
