31. And I don't think anyone is saying that this article absolutely makes him an expert,

but rather that it demonstrates to some extent that he does have both an interest and an understanding of public health. His academic interests certainly do trend towards the technical, but I don't think anyone is using his academic career as a primary reason to select him. Rather, it seems to be his work (mostly on television) explaining public health issues for the general public. Obama's concept of a surgeon general seems to be more an informer and less a policy creator than yours.
