President Obama deemed 'fit for duty'
Politico ^ | 10/31/11 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

Obama, the doctor said, is “tobacco free,” “physically active,” “eats a healthy diet,” “stays at a healthy weight” and “on occasion drinks alcohol in moderation.”

In all, Obama is “in excellent health and ‘fit for duty,’” Kuhlman said. “All clinical data indicate he will remain so for the duration of his presidency.” The president is also “fit at 50” and “staying healthy at 50+,” the physician said.

The physical was performed at the White House last week with the assistance of consultants from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Though Obama likes to joke about his graying hair and photo comparisons offer visual evidence of his rapid aging in the White House, his health has, by some measures, improved since his last official physical in early 2010.

They had to say “tobacco free”. I’ve never heard that description for any other president.

He might be “fit,” but he’s still an imposter ...

Tobacco free means he told the doctor he doesn’t smoke...not that it is necessarily the truth. The turd has no will power..you know it and I know it.

If there were any real journalists left in America:

Reporter: “Dr Pokeinthepus... did you run any definitive medical tests that would determine if chemical traces indicative of tobacco use were present in the president's blood stream”?

Dr Pokinthepus: “Why no... to my knowledge... there were no such tests administered”.

Reporter: “Then how did you know that the president was tobacco free”.

Dr Pokinthepus: “I just took the president at his word”.

Exactly. Or the one I was thinking.... How do you know he is tobacco free? He didn’t smoke during the examination.

Is being “fanatical for Communism” considered “fit for duty” nowdays?

I find it hard to believe they can label him ‘tobacco free’ after only a year or so.

Great. Hope he hangs around long enough to assume the reputation Carter has enjoyed for 30 years - THE WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN TIMES.

"His HDL level, meanwhile, improved a bit, from 62 a year and a half ago to 69 now."

That HDL cholesterol is a little on the high side for a 50 year old male who only drinks moderately. It wouldn't be concerning in a woman, but he's not a woman. What is his doctor's definition of "moderate" alcohol consumption?
