excerpted from medhelp;
Low oxygen content of the blood can cause blue lips. This can be due to low counts or due to problems with oxygenation of the blood. It would be interesting to know what your blood oxygen saturation is during the episodes. Do they last for very long? If so then your brother may have time to come over to your house to check with a saturation monitor (many EMTs have this equipment). If it is low then your doctor would have to look for sources of low oxygen such as blood clots, sickle cell disease or other hemoglobin abnormalities. A hematologist could check for these various disorders.

LOL.
I wasn't implying anything.....his lips look blue to me, and I'm female. ;-)
Although the fact that his parents died at a relatively early age could indicate some hereditary medical problems.
Interesting. His lip color was the first thing I noticed when he came on the scene as a speaker at that convention..
It doesn’t seem to matter if the person is a dim. Did we ever see the toon’s medical records??????
You're one to talk.
Look at your screen name! LOLOL!
It's OK, I'll just call you Rom.
I don't understand all the animosity I have received. I apparently struck a nerve, but my question was truly based on my curiosity. I admit that I am ignorant about any possible health issues that Obama may have. I was also ignorant about blacks being derogatorily being called purple gums. I grew up in the south, went to high school that 49% white, 49% and a small percent other. I married one of the other (Hispanic lady) and we have several children. None have purple lips, but they have brown features.
I feel that I learned some stuff from this thread. It was productive. I am sorry for anyone who was offended.
No, I don't think we did. I think Bush, Cheney, Bush Senior and Ronald Maximus Reagan published theirs. I bet the media will beat John McCain up on his skin cancer and his age, why are possible health problems of Barak off limits?
If he had some kind of cyanotic heart or lung disease, he’d have clubbing of his finger tips. I don’t see that in any of the photos of his hands. Unless someone else does.

I don’t think she smokes but I heard that Obama does. Is this true?
Wasn’t a silver compound of some sort used in the early days of syphillus?
Silver is still used, it’s 1000 times better than anti-biotics.
Pitiful. Mods, pull this thread!
Are you calling for thought control?
History shows that we can discuss Hillary’s ankles, and Bill’s nose, McCains glandular swelling, and the Breck Girls hair, but we can’t discuss the fact that Obama’s lips seem overly bluish-purple??
What can I say? I don’t sleep well...
If he kacks from some exotic disease will it be George Bush’s fault or Hillary Clinton’s fault?
The MSM (or DBM) will never push/criticize a dim, only a R.
he’s a heavy smoker now on nicorette. it might also be a pigmentation issue.
