In May, the presidential campaign of 72-year-old cancer survivor John McCain tried to put to rest doubts about his health by allowing a few reporters to inspect his medical records, but the effort has failed to quell questions about his odds of surviving an eight-year tenure in the White House.

Gee, I guess no “questions linger” about Obama’s health, SINCE HE HAS REFUSED TO RELEASE HIS MEDICAL RECORDS.

Time to trot out these old tired stories about McCain’s age and/or health again. The Dems must not be all that confident right now.

What are the odds of a 47 year old African American smoker who used to perform gay sex for drug money living for the next 4 years?

Both of Obama parents died young

He is a chain smoker

McCain's mother went to France and wanted to rent a car at 96 and they said no.

She just bought one and drove.

A few reasons to suspect Obama has Attention Deficit, the criteria for ADHD symptoms from;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder

.
1. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says “ahhhhh” all the time when he isn’t scripted

.
2. Often avoids, dislikes, or doesn’t want to do things that take a lot of mental effort for a long period of time (such as schoolwork or homework).

Example: Obama stayed less than 1 day in Iraq to study what was happening on the ground

.
3. Often has trouble keeping attention on tasks or play activities.

Example: Joe Bidens observations;

Biden wasn’t always defending Obama...

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204594.aspx

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.

.
4. Often forgetful in daily activities.

Example: Obama says he doesn’t pay much attention to McCains campaign adds, yet he knows what isn’t in them,

Another Freepers input:

I wouldn’t be surprised. People with actually ADHD (not just six year olds with a lot of energy), actually diagnosable ADHD, when there brains develop they have certain parts of their brain develop at slower/faster rates.

The part of the brain that process speech develops at a quicker rate than the brain. (OBama’s ability to speak well, at least on a TelePrompter anyway could come from that).

Also, parts of the brain (the lining of it) that don’t develop is the front part of the brain (frontal lobe, also called the executive function) as quickly (or in the case of adults the fact that the delay is caused has permanent effects) and cause that person to exhibit hasty or seemly thought out speech/actions.

I forget, is skin cancer more dangerous than a brain aneurysm?

No, more like the 24/7 of mudslinging the DEMs will be doing between now and Election Day. It's working so far, why back off of the script.

The MSM is always talking about “questions” and “concerns.” I’m beginning to think they only report on small-talk in the breakroom.

With all due respect, McCain is what? 72?

Do I really expect him to last 8 years?

With Palin as VP, do I........? Never mind......

Anyway, someone needs to tell these Einsteins that the president gets elected for four year terms. All McCain has to do is last 4 years.

I was wondering, if Obama's gay lover Larry Sinclair is HIV positive now, was he positive in 1999 when he and Obama had gay sex and did cocaine in the back of that limousine in Chicago?

The Washington Post is a cancer on America. It needs to be removed.

It is funny, I was wondering today when the McCain health issue stuff would be the next salvo from the MSM. I guess they don’t like how the internals look right now.

What do you expect from the MSM and Left. McCain will still win and win big..

“Whatever happened to the Freedom of Information Act?”

In this case, trumped by HIPAA.
