Time to demand a medical exam before the election |
|
Given the excitability and anxiety of George W. Bush in recent appearances, the people must demand that the traditional annual physical examination and report not be delayed until the next year.
He's applying to be commander in chief. The people require assurance of his health.

.....a light bulb just clicked on.
Kerry should make a big deal of releasing his last medical exam. Then shills could badger Bush.

5. Bush has been taking several falls - more than Gerald Ford had |
|
He's fallen from his bicycle and he's slipped coming down the steps of Air Force One. Also, he occasionally seems to have marks on his face, possibly from falls in private that aren't witnessed by the press. Could it be that he's on some kind of medication that affects his sense of balance? Or perhaps he's fallen and broken something, is required to wear a back brace, and has been heavily taking addictive pain killers that require additional meds to perk him up for important events. When's the last time anyone saw him playing golf or jogging? I don't know if I believe that arthritis is the reason he had to cut down on his jogging in public.

6. He had time to get his knee looked at after the bicycle fall |
|
but no time for a physical! I mean it doesn't take that long. He could skip a bike ride or take it like some have suggested during one of his vacation days. Let's kick this up to the press (they get their news from our Blogs anyway)so that the Kerry campaign doesn't have to mention it. The physical fitness of our Commander in Chief (yuk) should be of paramount importance. If the physicians do pronounce him in good condition, that;s another thing, He could have high cholesterol or colon cancer for all we know. He's a nut case, that we do know. We already had one President who was suffering from dementia while in office and had to have his wife reminding him what to say. America can't afford a similar situation. Thanks for this reminder post.

Since he is considered the First Patient I don't think delaying and exam should be an option for him at all.
This is yet another physical skipped in his jaded history, ey?
There should be some obligations that the People can demand of the person holding the Office. His physical and psychological health are a public, not a personal, matter.
If he won't comply, then we should add this to the list of items that give us concern about his viability.

8. Why in the world should we expect the truth |
|
in any medical reports that might be released?
I do agree that we should make an issue of the fact that * is side stepping yet another physical. I mentioned this to some people today. Like so many other facts, they had no idea...
