Obama's Health Issues

[ClydeR]

Obama's doctor released a statement (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jwzqe_EPZZ1F026MbOUvehbNDW4gD90VEMG80) about Obama's health today. The doctor is concerned about Obama smoking.


His family history is pertinent for his mother's death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.

I don't think we should elect someone who is merely trying to quit smoking, especially when he has a family history of cancer, and he wants the government to pay for everybody's healthcare. He should demonstrate a long-term cessation of smoking before he runs for office. Obama's health may be a big issue in this election. He hasn't even been to the doctor since the beginning of 2007.

Seeing as how assigning it to someone else seems to be a high priority to you, he that smelt it...

But if it brings you pleasure to repeat your idiocy over and over again (and in multiple threads), I am happy I can serve that purpose.

Glad to know I make you happy!

Have you seen our current presidents health history? Negative

[BigWorm]

You do know McCain already had cancer, right?

You do know McCain already had cancer, right?

McCain had surgery earlier this month (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/05/24/2008-05-24_john_mccains_had_cancer_but_hes_ok.html) that removed the last of his cancer. He is clean now.


WASHINGTON - John McCain had minor surgery for skin cancer on his lower right leg earlier this month in a previously undisclosed operation. But he is currently cancer-free and in "excellent health," his doctors said Friday.

The operation followed a biopsy in February, which was not revealed at the time by his campaign. The test determined the spot on his leg was squamous cell carcinoma, said Dr. Suzanne Connolly, McCain's dermatologist.

Obama hasn't even been to the doctor since January, 2007.

You're never cured of cancer, you just go into remission. Which means it can always come back. People get "cleaned" of cancer all the time to just have it come back and kill them a few months or maybe a few years later. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough.

As far as Obama not going to the doctor.. so he hasn't been to this doctor, and I can see why. I wouldn't see a doctor who felt it was okay to blab about my health to the press or whoever else without my permission. Not to mention men don't have to see the doctor yearly, it's not like they need exams the way women do.

[CrystalTears]

Men aren't required to see their doctor every year, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

OH NOES OBAMA SMOKES!

From the same article Clyde posted...

Notice the currently cancer-free. This doesn't state anywhere that McCain won't get cancer again.


McCain has had four cases of more dangerous skin melanomas, the most serious occurring on his left temple in 2000.

You're knocking on a guy that hasn't had cancer still smoking, but you want to elect a guy that has a history of getting cancer?


The campaign stayed mum because it "was not a significant procedure," one insider said.
His team's failure to disclose the biopsy in February, while McCain was still fending off primary rivals, and the minor surgery this month reflected the campaign's sensitivity to questions about the 71-year-old candidate's age, health and abilities to carry out presidential duties.

What else has his camp 'stayed mum' about because of 'sensitivity' to health questions?

Of the three that McCain is rumored to be considering... Crist is the one with the greatest experience... and brings the most to the table.

I'm curious as to what skeletons lie in his closet though. There's a few things about his history that are either unclear or a little odd that might give some on the far right pause.

Not me. I'd rather he clean up LA and then go for President. I would vote for him well before I ever cast a vote for McCain.

Oh there is plenty of skeletons. He's basically Mr. no experience on up the ladder to Gov. Up to recently (this past 7 months or so) I was rather happy in the new life/changes he brought to the plate.

But not now shit is getting fucked up pretty good and he's got one foot out the door to VP already. This whole real estate tax mess is a goody.

To make matters worse they're cutting things like closing library's and rec centers on weekends... firemen and police etc. Things to piss the public off enough to vote for more taxes come time.

Oh well Charlie... shit or get off the pot. We need a fucking governor to get things straight here.

Blaming the Governor for cuts that local municipalities are making is foolish. Blaming the Governor for tax breaks that the voting public voted on is equally foolish.

Problem is, you have local governments who are trying to 'get back' at their voters by cutting things that are used (although, I would question weekend library usage...) and then say "SEE!? YOU WANTED LESS TAXES, NOW WHAT!" instead of actually trimming the excessive fat in all government.

If McCain chooses Crist, there will be an outright revolt in the Republican Party, and that will be the end of this election contest. McCain knows that, and he will not choose Crist. It's okay for McCain to flirt with Crist to guarantee Crist's enthusiastic support in Florida, but it's not okay for McCain to marry him. I assure you that McCain is just flirting.

I had hoped that McCain would choose Huckabee as his VP, but it's starting to look like Huckabee doesn't want it.

[Clove]

McCain would lose the moderate GOP base if he chose Huckabee. He'd gain the far right, but the middle would go over to Obama. Bad choice.

Crist and Romney had the greatest presence, Romney moreso than Crist of the 3 invited to McCain's weekend getaway. With Romney you have the mormon issue that tweaks the far right... Crist I dont know much about other than the fact that he's been single for a long time and dresses way too snazzy not to arouse suspicions with the older conservative crowd. Any rumor of a candidate with an alternative lifestyle for the GOP and its not going to happen. HOWEVER - if the older base in FL like him anyways - then its still in his favor. And dont think his personal life is not/will not be looked at if he's given the nod.

Jindal is too new/young/inexperienced. Give him a term or two to clean up Louisana and he'll be ready for nomination then.

[TheEschaton]

Bobby Jindal will hold national office over my dead body. The man is a giant douche bag.

Edit: And talk about a panderer, he converted to Catholicism so voters would like him more. God forbid a Hindu ran LA.

He had remarkable foresight then, if he was concerned about voter-interest in High School.


When he was 4, he decided to call himself Bobby -- after the youngest son on the "Brady Bunch" television show. In high school, he gave up Hinduism and became a Christian; and during his first year at Brown University, he was baptized as a Roman Catholic. His wife, Supriya, is also a Catholic convert.

LOL pick Huckabee.

The religious right make up less than 15% of the voting base, and less than 10% of the total population (damn you rejects for having high poll turnout).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_right

Christian Rightextremists make up more than 70% of the federally identified hate groups guilty of hate crimes in the South.

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/map/hate.jsp

But just knowing McCain to be a good person overall, he'll pick a moderate like Crist who will help him in Florida, as well as increase his crossover appeal before he takes a bible thumping Huckabee who appeals to people who like the idea of of their pastors fondling their little boys, and in fact protect them from an organizational and legal front, but hate homosexuals in general.

In conservative circles, it's considered impolite to tell the real reason why you don't like Crist. You're supposed to focus on some issue with which you disagree with him. But since you had the admirable boldness to say it, I'll provide a little context. It's not Crist's fault, really. He was married for a while and it didn't work out and he got a divorce. He has since been single a long time, too long in some people's opinions. Then a horrible report (watch it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ4DyPTEJ6A) only if you're not easily offended by undocumented irresponsible reporting) aired that Crist was a homosexual.

Crist really wants to be VP, and he's making himself look foolish to prove that he's not a homosexual.


Love In An Elevator, Charlie Crist-Style
Tue May 27, 2008 at 07:11:24 AM

Ron Gunzburger at Politics1 offers this little piece of governor gossip:

McCAIN VEEPSTAKES. Politics1 Exclusive. How interested is Florida Governor Charlie Crist in being John McCain's VP runningmate? So much so that veteran GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone -- who coordinated a few dirty stunts in support of Crist during the 2006 gubernatorial campaign -- is quietly peddling a so-called "Charlie Crist sex tape." That's what Stone called it during a telephone conversation. And no, it is not a tape of Crist having sex with a guy. In fact, it isn't even X-rated. The video was seemingly staged to kill the rumors that Crist is gay. Stone claims the tape -- which he discussed recently with Politics1, but didn't show to us ("I'm saving it for the national shows") -- "shows Charlie fooling around in a hotel elevator with his girlfriend ... They're making out." Adds Stone: "It was captured on a security camera in the elevator" last month. And Stone just conveniently happens to have a copy of the hotel's elevator surveillance tape, just when Crist's name is in play for the VP spot. Hmm. As for Crist's purported girlfriend -- presuming it is the same one he took as his date to the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC a few weeks ago -- she's still married (and not to Crist). Disclaimer: Always be skeptical of anything from Stone.

More... (http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2008/05/love_in_an_elevator_charlie_cr.php)

I repeat that McCain will not choose Crist.

[Sean of the Thread]

Bottom line Crist is the boss man in FL and lacks serious experience at anything. He's seriously been alllll over the map on fucking government positions which really bothered me once upon a time.

I personally like the guy in a non gay way. He just needs to step it up lately and kick the shit out of the twats floating around in the capital. This whole VP homosexual sideshow is annoying me.

[Kembal]

He had remarkable foresight then, if he was concerned about voter-interest in High School.

The last time Jindal interacted with the Indian-American community here in Houston was to raise money for his previous gubernatorial bid, which he lost. Since then, he's pretty much cut off all contact with Indian-American groups entirely, and when two Hindu students got shot at a Louisiana university right around when he took office, he did absolutely nothing about it, even after the university's callous response. (I was the head of PR for the largest Hindu college student group in the U.S. at the time and was about to write a press release attacking him, the LA gov't., and the university for their lack of response. Unfortunately (or fortunately for Jindal), an internal political dispute occurred inside the organization and I was prevented from doing so.)

Most Indian-American Christians do not reject their origins as thoroughly as he has. He's doing so for political reasons.

[Kembal]

On the whole VP thing, I suspect McCain will pick Crist (and then regret it later). Smart pick for him would be to take Tim Pawlenty, governor of Minnesota.

Though, when is the last time that a VP candidate was picked for geographical reasons and delivered on that?

Cheney - No
Edwards - No
Lieberman - No
Kemp - Hell no
Gore - Maybe, but Clinton had the same Southerner background, so doubtful.
Quayle - Wasn't selected for geographical reasons, but Indiana did go for Bush in 92. They still lost bad.
Bentsen - No

Don't think geographical/Electoral College considerations are worth much.

Crist is enjoying a 60-70% approval rating in the state.. trust me, he will deliver Florida to McCain.

[Parkbandit]

You make it sound like a fact, instead of your own opinion. I find it unlikely that he changed religions when he was 15 only for possible political aspirations later on in life.

[Stretch]

I don't think we should elect someone who is black.

Fixed.

Also, ClydeR hates FDR.

[Kembal]

I'm not sure McCain will need him to deliver Florida. Of the three big swing states (Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio), FL is most likely to go for McCain anyway. (On top of that, the rumors about Crist are not going to die, and discomfort with the Republican base is not what McCain needs at election time)

Hence my suggestion of going for Minnesota...taking that would block some of the viable non-Florida routes to the Presidency for Obama. And it'd help Norm Coleman with his Senate race....Al Franken, surprisingly, is polling well against him, and the Republicans are going to need to stem the bloodletting in the Senate as much as possible.

[Kembal]

Oddly enough, he wrote an article that said he converted in college. (It was an article that told his story of conversion) This thing about him converting at 15/high school is not something I've heard before, and I think the WaPo article got it wrong.

That aside, the conversion part wasn't exactly what I was referring to. I was referring to the fact that he no longer interacts with the Indian-American community at all, and he's definitely doing that for political purposes. (He basically lost the previous gubernatorial election based on a last minute attack casting doubt on his conversion) So he won't say one word about India or Indian-Americans, even if it means not responding to the death of two Indian/Hindu graduate students at a LA university.

Most of the Indian-American community refuses to support him these days, including some of the ones that are hardcore Republicans.

Can't find the article I read earlier, but did find another article he wrote two years later in 1993. That seems to expand more on the timeframe of his conversion, and I guess the WaPo article is right.

This article is an interesting read. I'm curious to know if he holds the same views today or not. I don't know one way or the other.

OR.. we could agree that maybe, JUST MAYBE he converted to Christianity for personal reasons and maybe it wasn't part of his grand scheme of one day becoming President...

[crb]

I can't see how anyone who has seen an interview with Jindal not think he is christian.

I mean... he has brown skin, but otherwise he looks, acts, and talks like he is from the south. He isn't Apu ya know.

As per the original topic... what I find bullshit is the NYT is critical about McCain's 1000 page health release, including a Q&A session with his doctor that was cut short... but only because reporters ran out of things to ask. But they're fine with a 1 pager from Obama's doctor.

Charlie Crist is getting married (http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/state/article659439.ece). I'm posting it here because this thread, which I started about Obama's questionable health history, evolved into a discussion about VP picks, especially Crist.

Crist's fiance reminds me of Cindy McCain. Her wealth comes from an inherited family business. Like Cindy McCain, the family business is in a questionable industry. Crist's wife-to-be sells Halloween costumes. I don't approve of that, and I don't think it's an appropriate job for someone who might become the first lady.
