puts him at higher risk for viral hepatitis [ b, c ] as well as hiv. :( Has anybody in the MSM questioned Hillary about her most recent mamograms or pap smears. After all she may be at risk for stds via Bill. ;)

Probably because McCain's about thirty years Obama's senior and to mention the fact of the overwhelming amount of heartburn that Dubya's going to leave the next Commander-and-Chief. But there are double standards and down right hypocrisy in some cases. One of those nonsensical issues being which candidates are wearing the flag lapel pin. I know for fact McCain doesn't wear one everyday. Hillary's health? Well Hillary's so healthy that Obama had to step up security after her last appeal for an assassination attempt.

PS. McCain wouldn't start any drug use attacks, because of his own family's shortcomings.

Sure Obama "misspoke" or "misremembered" this time, but trying to discern when he's telling the truth is getting more and more difficult...and when he is obviously candid, it's scary.

Thanks Steve. Enough said though! He's a politician. Do you really need to know anything else about his character? :D

I hiked in fairly cool weather over the weekend and did about 15-20 miles over 3 days. Senator McCain who is much older than I regularly vacations by hiking the Grand Canyon ;a 35 mile excursion. Suffice it to say that Obama is clearly also in supurb shape.
Their health is a legitimate issue ;although Obama could if necessary hide malady's like his hero JFK did . As it is the McCain health report that was released was quite extensive. We now are privy to the location of every polyp removed from his butt.

We now know that Obama is also in excellent health and gets enough roughage in his diet from the arugula .

I'd forgotten about his Typical liberal arugulance. An appropriate reminder after his “Wellsleyan" commencement address in which he tells us not to narrow our concerns to "chase only after the big house and the nice suits." It's great that this Esquire Magazine's best dressed winner is such an example walking out of his $1.65 million house in his 'well-tailored suits and "impeccable ties"' to go buy arugula at the Whole Foods Market.
