Bredesen Would Take HHS Job If He Could Run Wild With It

Andy Sher reporting:

“If it were a case of really being able to help in some fundamental way, something I really believe in which is to create universal health care, I certainly would think about it and talk about it,” Gov. Bredesen told Tennessee Press Association members Thursday night.

“If it’s a matter of administering a big, huge bureaucracy, I’ve already got that job,” Gov. Bredesen said.

Asked what he would do if President Barack Obama offered him the job, the governor said, “I’ll cross that bridge if I come to it.”

Does that sound like a man subtly campaigning for the job or is it just me?
