During the POTUS presser the Prez mentioned things the American public should know about the candidates are his finances and (by the way) medical reports.
At this the reporters all laughed. Is Rmoney stonewalling the release of his medical records too?

(6,996 posts)I've been in threads that made fun of his strange baby-step walk. But to hear that it may be an indicator of some serious condition changes everything.

It would be interesting to see what his parents and grandparents died of.

Thanks!

(50,888 posts)Obama's last checkup was 11/1/11 which counts as a release.
Also, McCain released his records May 2008.

(146,218 posts)Obama's yearly physical is reported in general terms and either gives him a good or bad mark. It does not reveal the personal parts of either his history, his current complaints or specific issues that may have been addressed.
This speculation about Romney having a psychiatric disorder or Alzheimer's is really objectionable to me.
We have more than enough to attack Romney with.

Right now I wonder if the entire GOP is hallucinating about RMoney being their wonderful candidate.
