What is wrong with Resident Obama? He goes to Europe and makes some of the most incredibly out of touch statements. He has appeared at press conferences with one eye half open and one eye shut. When I Google "President Obama One Eye Open One Eye Shut" I get only 3 hits, some from the religious prophesy perspective. Evidently, Google has cleansed this query to be more favorable to the President.

He continues to battle a nicotine addiction and has spent a small fortune keeping his records private – including his medical history. Though viewed as the picture of health in 2008, Barack Obama appeared more gaunt the following year and since then weight fluctuations became more numerous and more dramatic as a chameleon-like cycle of a man who shows up looking drastically different than he did just weeks prior. Rumors of heavy makeup for public appearances to mask “skin discoloration issues” have persisted for a number of years, as has the ongoing speculation of what was the true nature of...

The President did not look healthy, coherent and engaged in yesterday's presser. What is wrong with his right eye, which was almost closed?

President Barack Obama warned Thursday that if Congress doesn't deliver health care legislation by the end of the year the opportunity will be lost, a plea to political supporters to pressure lawmakers to act. "If we don't get it done this year, we're not going to get it done," Obama told supporters by phone as he flew home on Air Force One from a West Coast fundraising trip. Obama's political organization, Organizing for America, invited campaign volunteers to a midday conference call to describe a nationwide June 6 kickoff for its health care campaign. The president's message to his re-election...

Not long after President Obama was sworn into office, he faced a monstrous $1.8 trillion budget deficit that analysts said would force him to sharply curtail his big-spending agenda. But Obama saw the economic recession he inherited as another Great Depression (which it's not) that demands the enactment of a lengthy list of new social programs, whose costs will drive total federal spending to more than $3.7 trillion in 2010 and add more than $9 trillion to the government's total debts over the coming decade. Deficits or no deficits, debts or no debts, Obama sees no reason to cut back...

Drip by painful drip, the details of the Democratic health-care-reform plan have been leaking out. And from what we can see so far, it looks like bad news for American taxpayers, health-care providers, and, most important, patients. The plan would not initially create a government-run, single-payer system such as those in Canada and Britain. Private insurance would still exist, at least for a time. But it would be reduced to little more than a public utility, operating much like the electric company, with the government regulating every aspect of its operation. It would be mandated both that employers offer coverage...

NISKAYUNA, New York (Reuters) - Improved credit markets have brought stabilization to the economy but it is still not clear when growth will resume, General Electric Co (GE.N) Chief Executive Jeff Immelt said on Tuesday. "The credit picture, we think, is improving and that's really one of the fundamentals to getting the broader economy doing better," Immelt said in an interview with Reuters. "Things certainly have stabilized and now the goal is to see where growth goes in the second half of the year." The largest U.S. conglomerate said it was seeking funding from the federal stimulus program for a...

The Obama campaign released this summary of the senator's health records on Thursday and does not plan to make additional records available: DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D. To Whom It May Concern: I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois.
