We assume Magic was on the Down Low. We KNOW Barack Obama is. Let’s see his medical records.

Soros had better return this model for a new one.

I don’t think he meant anything mean by it, Magic probably didn’t take any offense from it, but still...dude.

It certainly is Bidenesque.

It’s the “worm” thing still. Remember when he was campaigning and he was nicknamed the worm, because so many of his statements had to be repudiated by his staff the next day with something to the effect, “What Obama Really Meant”...

” We assume Magic was on the Down Low. We KNOW Barack Obama is. Let’s see his medical records.”

Barry made some amazing comments in the Q&A session after his Ohio Town Hall.
He said that he goes to the doctor “ lots of times “ and “ has tests done every six months.”
He also said that he doesn’t know what the doctor is doing and he just does what he is told .

"I wonder if Magic actually had HIV or if his diagnosis was faked?"

How could it have possibly profited him to fake the diagnosis of being HIV positive, particularly in the year 1991? I can't imagine anyone deliberately putting such an ugly stigma on themselves, let alone foisting it upon their innocent wife and child. At the time, he was even subjected to rumors that he had contracted the disease through gay sex.

All things considered, the whole scenario seems to be completely without any upside, at least one that I can imagine. Besides the fact that it would seem a rather hard act to keep up for so many years.

I don't know why but I just have a feeling about it. I am not implying that Magic would have faked a diagnosis. I mean to imply that those conducting the testing may have done it leading him to believe he had it. At the time they needed a really big name to carry the torch for the cause.

Just a feeling.
