A little surprising, but the more I think about it, the more I think it might be a pretty bright move. If Obama is really planning on a serious overhaul of America's health care (or at least making another attempt), having a respected, intelligent doctor comfortable in front of the camera as the administrations public medical face... pretty shrewd.
Edit: And it may be a done deal after all:

He's going to take a staggering pay cut for the next few years.
