Will this go away now? I doubt it.

As a migraine sufferer, this really pisses me off.

Not with the left’s puppets on the right desperately clinging to it.

Clinton had herpes (er, “shingles”) that caused painful flareups all over his body, no?

Missed days of work from it.

I don’t recall his medical condition being at issue.

O.K.

NOW, will we get a report on OBAMA’s PERSONAL HEALTH???

OR, is it like CLINTON’s medical records - VERBOTEN?????

How about OBAMA’S College transcripts?????

How about coming clean with his BIRTH RECORDS????

And, while we are AT IT, what the hell did this bastard do to support himself before he became a “senator” and ACORN farmer????

Its time for the RIGHT to PICK BACK at these media bastards.

If anything, this story is going to result in a backlash of sympathy for Bachmann.

Only those with no decency attack someone for having migraines. Such attacks come off as petty and mean.

I’m encouraged that she addressed this directly but, I need more information. Taking meds for migraine symptoms does not tell me the severity of migraines.

Does she take prevention meds like Topamax or Inderal? Clearly, she is taking a “triptan” to abort the migraine symptoms. Does she take pain meds like Vicodin or Fiorinal?

Simple and direct. Good statement. She seems to be learning from her earlier mistakes.

The candidates need to turn this around on them. We know nothing about Obamas health background, except his drug use and weird scars on his head.

The media spent far more time investigating Joe the plumber Wurzelbacher than they did Baraq Hussein Obama.

Unfortunately I don’t see that changing in 012.

The good news is that Baraq’s economic policies have failed so badly that he’s a sure loser. To the MSM this the “new normal” and to real people this is dogsh!t.

At least she’s got abilities which might be lessened.

The Cretin-in-Chief has no abilities.

And this is NOT sarc. The guy is as stupid as a rock.

Given that, one wonders just exactly he got into and out of Harvard.

But then, so did Dead Ted.

Just think, the news media lied about FDR’s ability to walk, and you think a head ache is something.

It should. These attacks are a cheap shot at Bachmann.

True. But we should be striking back again and again at these people.

The best defense is a good offense.

when you bring us Obama’s medical records, college transcripts, tax returns, passport and immigration records, explanation on his multi-Social Security numbers and why he has one from CT, etc., then we’ll let you know what meds Michele is taking. (Until then: None of your business!)

this is so friggin’ stupid...they are grasping at straws. How about, ‘will smoking pot impair Obama’s ability to do his job,’ which appears to be hitting a golf ball, reading from the ‘prompter and going on vacation.
