Are you saying he's not? Mark 123
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is correct. He is too busy being a celebrity. Would you see him as your personal physician??

I'm sure there's a few areas that Dr.Oz and I would agrees on however, he's a celebrity. He owes his career to Oprah, which means she has access, she is no friend to any conservative, of ANY stripe. He's been a celebrity for over two decades, which means he's disconnected from the day-to-day issues affecting the average citizen, let alone the impact on small businesses lately.

Right now, the @CDCgov is NOT funded to study gun violence in this country. It’s time we treat shootings as a public health problem. Contact your congressperson today to demand they fund the #CDC to comprehensively study gun violence. #EndTheBan http://congress.gov

Seriously, there has to be literally a dozen other better candidates running for the nomination than this guy.

What is your problem? Tell me.

The man asked you for details, and you come up with nothing but an unwarranted insult. What a ridiculous response. What's your problem?

As soon as anyone, regardless of party, announces he wants to enter politics I begin to suspect what his motives actually are. Is it to lead us? Or is it narcissism and self-serving aggrandizement?

Everything people are saying about Oz in this thread they said about Trump.

Trump said the CDC should be funded to study gun violence?

Please provide a source for this.

Everything? Nope. Try again.

And Donald Trump had decades of business experience on a grand scale before entering politics. This TV doctor sat around with Oprah and discussed the cause of cankles.

I believe that was Dr. Phil.

I saw the Dr. Oz candidacy thing last month and was surprised. Not sure what to make of him as a candidate beside what I saw in the ad.

That said, I saw an ad at the gym the other day for a veteran who was running for senate. I forgot the name, and I don't see him on the list of officially declared candidates from one of the news sites that was posted yesterday. I can't imagine it was a commercial for state senate.

A graduate of Harvard University, the cardiothoracic surgeon became a regular guest on Winfrey's eponymous daytime series, The Oprah Winfrey Show, starting in the 2000s, and the host would often refer to Oz as "America's doctor."

Oz would appear on the show to answer questions and offer medical advice, and was soon one of the most visible television doctors. His success soon led to Winfrey producing multiple shows that bore his name, including Discovery Health Channel's Second Opinion With Doctor Oz and The Doctor Oz Show on Oprah's own network, Harpo Productions.

Great but he is out of network for Mark!


Oz is a surgeon. The good ones want to operate and save lives, not promote themselves.

We don’t need any more celebrities in government. Even if they did graduate from Harvard Roll Eyes
