Let's see, Obama has excellent blood pressure, good cholesterol levels, isn't overweight, and his EKG raised no concerns. The only problem he seems to have is that he's struggling with the nicotine habit.

So why should he be running to the doctor all the time? Just because he's not conservatively correct, someone will find some excuse to whine about this report. Sheesh.

Now if he had high blood pressure like I do, he'd be seeing the doctor at least every six months, and it would be more reasonable to want a more up to date assessment of that condition.

What are you basing your comments on? You seem to be ignoring the fact that alot can change in 1-1/2 years. It's an inaccurate report on his current health since it's based on a January 2007 medical exam. I'm starting to think that everyone around here purposefully ignores this "small detail" in support of their candidate. That says alot.

Do you think you deserve a straight answer, given your adversarial tone?
Are you here to discuss matters, or just put up numbers on a scoreboard of your own creation?
Why are you concerned for his health? You're not voting for him. Move on.

People in good health go to the doctor less often, and it's my understanding that a yearly physical for a healthy person of Obama's age is not recommended. So where's the beef?

Even then, we don't need to know all the details.

It really seems that nobody HERE wants to discuss this...all they want to do is skirt the issue. I have given my opinion. Read the OP. I just want to understand why Obama is releasing a doctors letter that is based on an exam that occured 1-1/2 years ago. It doesn't make sense. It seems that EVERYONE here that has posted so far ignores this detail.

I am starting to believe that Obama released this outdated information because he KNOWS that his supporters will follow him no matter what. That is what I see so far. Yet everyone defends him when he should be questioned as to why his medical report is not based on CURRENT data.

I'll ask again, and then I will step back and see what knd of responses this question gets.

Some of us simply think that Obama's (or McCain's or Hillary's or anyone else's) medical records are none of our business.

based on people's repsonces, it would seem pretty evident that it does make sense to them and they have no problem with it. You say he should be questioned based on current data, but I don't think he should. I believe that January of 2007 is current enough and no questioning is needed.
