Barack Obama has just released a one-page letter from his doctor attesting to his "excellent health" and pronouncing him "medically-fit to serve as president." Last week, John McCain granted reporters access to more than 1200 pages of his medical records. Obama's physician for nearly half his life, Dr. David L. Scheiner of Chicago, has not examined his patient since 2006. Yet he has no qualms pronouncing him in "excellent health" today. Obama's campaign claims that the 300-words or so contained in Dr. Scheiner letter constitutes "a complete summary of [Obama's] doctor visits and medical records for the past two decades." William Strunk and E.B. White should have been that good.
I wonder what the media reaction would have been if McCain had released a one-page letter from his doctor as the sum total of his medical history? The general inference would have been that he had something to hide because of his age. Yet the sickest man ever to occupy the White House was also the youngest man ever elected president, John F. Kennedy. Everything about his health except his bad back was concealed from the public. The bad back was a war injury and hence could serve as his "Achilles heel." Unless you count his Nicorette gum, Obama has no "Achilles heel," none, at least, that could be mentioned in 300 words or less.
Mat, do I have to remind you that McCain is almost 300 years old ? that's the reason for his long report.....
ReplyDeleteI'm not an Obama fan, but pls stop the chicken-shit posts....
pedro:
ReplyDelete300 is the new 60.
So you are actually saying that McCain looks 10 years younger than his biological age, which, for someone who has endured what he has in life, means that he's doing pretty good.
so MAT-- are you voting?

Retrato del comentarista anonimo
---------------------------------
Buscapleitos en casa del vecino,
aguafiestas en el banquete ajeno,
ataca al blanco, al negro y al moreno,
en la calma, forma su remolino,
arma bullas punzantes, ponzoñosas,
y quiere comentar lo que no entiende;
siente como la chispa se le enciende
y salta al Internet a soltar rosas.
Se escuda en lo invisible, en la pantalla.
Defiende lo que ya no tiene excusa
y el improperio es su único amuleto.
Amigo del escombro y la metralla,
luego de bautizarnos de gentuza,
pide que le guardemos su respeto.
