I did a little browsing to find out what the recommendations are for frequency of physical examinations. This internal medicine practice recommends physicals every other year for people Obama's age (46). That sounds like what I remember, and it means that Obama's not overdue for his next physical, except to those who are desperate to pick nits because they don't like his politics.

If he waits a little longer for his next physical, he gets it done at Bethesda without a co-pay, BTW.

I think some just want to imagine Obama getting a prostate exam.

A January 2007 medical report is NOT good enough if you are trying to convince your supporters that you are in good health. It's not current. But Obama knows he has the blind loyalty of his supporters, so an outdated medical exam is good enough for them. You believe what you want to believe.

Why would we have any reason to believe the contrary?

Actually, it is good enough to convince your supporters that you are in good health, it's not good enough to convince your opposition that you are in good health.

As Bird has already pointed. It is not out of date and it is current. People of his age are only recommended to have physicals every 2 years, meaning that the current one is good, by medical standards.

Actually a 2007 report for a 46 year old is good enough. For a 72 year old its another matter. See Obama has no history of Cancer or PTSD so he doesn't really need a doctor on call 24/7.

As for Blind faith, please just becuase we don't see in to your imaginary world doesn't mean we are blind.
