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.
Exactly. I can't find anywhere any recommendation that a man in his 40s, in good health, needs to have a physical more often than once every two years.

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I am starting to believe that Obama released this outdated information because he KNOWS that his supporters will follow him no matter what.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.
Does it make sense to you that Obama's current medical report is based on his January 2007 check up?
Yes

I saw video of Obama playing team basketball and he looks VERY healthy to me. He was tossing down some three pointers.

Now put John McCain on that basketball court and ....... well maybe he could be a referee.

Well, we don't want to use sports as a determiner for health, because bowling is a sport (to many people), and that didn't turn out so well.

Hmm, really? I didn't know you had to have doctor reports for employment of late. Is this true?

Obamas 1 page letter from his doctor. ONLY ONE PAGE! I must note that Obama's last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007, which is about 1-1/2 years ago. It's a 21 year summary drafted on one page. Ridiculous.
Why so? My medical report is reduced to 1 page for several ailments. If you are not a doctor, why would you need more than a laymans explanation?


Quote:
This report doesn't convince me that Obama is in excellent health, being that a lot can change since the last time he had a checkup.
Oh, really? Would it help you if he furnished a full body xray to show you he isn't hidding anything? Maybe we could pass him under the airport xray with his luggage on his way to his next campaign stop.


Quote:
Why he doesn't provide a letter with his current medical information doesn't make sense. And yes, Obama has been a smoker for over 20 years and has not quit completely yet. With his family's history of cancer, quitting for good might be a great idea just about now
Of course it would, but we know people with addictions don't quit, they just make excuses.


Quote:
I am not convinced that Obama is in excellent health based on his Jan 2007 medical examination. Anyone with common sense can see that this letter is not a reflection of Obama's current health status. How about a doctors report that's up to date?
Hmm, I was convinced of his physical health.

Quote:
Why doesn't Obama provide an up to date doctors report, rather than rely on his January 2007 medical information to try to convince his supporters that he is in "excellent health"? I just doesn't make sense.
I don't how the internist can make a psychological call to his mental health, so I have a problem with that missing diagnosis myself. Maybe we should have a neutral internist and psychiatrist check the health of Obama, and McCain, and then render us at least a 1 hundred page medical diagnosis of each candidate.

Yes, a black man is running for president. If you have such a problem with it, why not just come out and say you're uncomfortable with a black guy in the white house?

NOTE: I don't actually think you are racist, AD, I'm just pointing out the growing triviality and stupidity of the complaints against Obama.

Didn't I hear a rumor that McCain tried to bowl after the Obama video, and he slipped and bowled himself down the gutter? (^:

Don't want to start rumors, but ....
