Barack Obama Medical Records:
Unreleased Records
The MSM Double Standard
"No presidential candidate should get to the point that he has locked up his party’s nomination without public vetting of his health."
--New York Times, on John McCain, May 4 2008 "Missing Records"
Many were the words written about John McCain and his medical records. That he delayed in releasing them, that his health records were crucial to the public's right to know.
After McCain released nearly 1200 pages of medical records--the Arizona Senator not only had war-related injuries, but also bouts with skin cancer--the Mainstream Media complained that reporters were not given enough time to go through McCain's records: they were given three hours to look through them.
Three hours is far less time than it would take those same reporters to go through Barack Obama's medical records that have been released.
Because there are none.
The Obama campaign has stated that no medical records will be released. Instead, a one-page undated letter from a doctor will have to satisfy reporters on that issue.
The New York Times on Barack Obama in May:
The six-paragraph, one-page statement summarized the senator’s health for the last 21 years and was signed by Dr. David L. Scheiner, who said he has been Mr. Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987.A spokesman for Mr. Obama said his campaign would not make Dr. Scheiner available for a telephone interview." --New York Times, May 8 2008, "Obama’s Doctor, Praising His Health, Sees No Obstacles to Service"
Legion were the stories written assuring readers that "Barack Obama is in excellent health". That's great, then why not release the records?

And the media reaction; “oh, ok”
No need to embarrass his mother’s Kenyan obstetrician
Why, indeed?
STDs?
Lung cancer from all the smoking?
Scarred heart tissue from cocaine abuse?
666 birthmark? Of course the MSM would assure us that it was actually an upside down 999. :)
Well, the chief rapist in charge, that former governor of Arkansas never submitted his records either . . . rumors of STDs abounded and still do . . . Democrats don’t have to do what they demand the Republicans do, and, dammit, the Republicans still do it. I’d spit in their eye until the other side submits their records too. But don’t forget, the Republicans have always been the “stupid” party.
We’ve yet to see Hussein’s birth certificate . . . he could very well be our first illegal alien senator and president . . .
This is one of MANY things he will not disclose. It’s appalling. SOMEONE here has a VERY lengthy listing of all the things “That One” has “lost, disposed of, or otherwise is concealing”. It’s unbelievable.
Would someone please post that entire list? It is an enlightening list and one none of us should forget and should put prominently before all the socialist followers. Besides, I need it in an argument I’ve got going with one such idiot. THANKS in advance!
The GOP is the party of stupid. The answer should be..I will release my complete medical records right after Zero does. ENd of story..next question.
Debates, records etc. GOP gives in and the left stands pat and remains a secret.
Jim Lehrer (Disgraced PBS, Democrat): "The ONLY birth certificate, or medical records,
anyone of us in the (lying) mainstream media cares about are those of Joe-the-Plumber.
Now, how many of Gwen Ifill's book on our Messiah Obama's glorious and
upcoming-for-certain January 2009 Coronation&Inauguration would you like?"
Do we really want to have a mystery as our President?
Won’t release them? Why? Easy...the guy is on “brain drugs”, maybe something like valium, lithium...
Psychiatric care?
That’s the only game changer I can think of that might pop up?
Nobocy expects him to release his medical recors for his entire life, but the last few years seems reasonable (which would refelect his current condition.)
If there is some record os phyciatric care in the last few years then that would be a time bomb.
“McCain released nearly 1200 pages of medical records”
Giving reporters an hour to look at 1200 pages, and forbidding them to make copies or take photos, isn’t really “releasing” them.
Of course, the left would break into his doctors office and “purloin” them. Unfortunately, no one on the right has the guts. The media would praise the leftist as having “contributed to the publics right to know.” The right-wing second story man—would quietly disappear, along with the records. What double standard!
The media goes after people like Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber, but have yet to spend even 1/10th of the time on looking into Obama.
And to think, he was once a Marine. How far the mighty have fallen....
exactly.... i am sure the media already has JTP medical records..
An hour to flip through Obama's medical records would be enough to determine if he has or had any serious conditions that should be of concern to voters. That he won't even risk that is telling.
How would you like to release your medical records to our 5th column, indefinitely? Have you never had a hemorrhoid? Imagine what medical problems any man would have after being tortured. It's nobody's business, really. None of us knows when the Reaper will come, at any age.
“If she (Hillary) gave him (Obama) one of her cojones, they’d both have two.”
The implication is that Obama only has one testicle. That is not that uncommon for men (from what I can find on the internet 1-2% of adult males have an undecended testicle), it just isn't talked about much.
I can see how that would be a reason he wouldn't want his medical records released. It really isn't a physical problem you would worry about, but you know there are plenty of jerks out there that would make jokes at his expense.
Actually, a politically-motivated break-in to an office to rifle through the paperwork is what got a whole bunch of Watergate burglars sent to jail, including Chuck Colson and G. Gordon Liddy.
The other night Dave Letterman had the astounding gall to compare McCain's friendship with the long-rehabilitated Liddy to Obama's friendship with the completely unrepentant terrorist traitor Bill Ayers. McCain, of course, laughed it off. Honestly, Mac needs a Palin implant.
