Whatever happened to Bush's 2004 physical?

[mcscajun]

We know he skipped it during the election...and there's been much speculation over what he might be hiding.

Anyone heard any news that he's taken it since those reports? Or is perhaps, about to?

1. Even if something was wrong...

do you really think they would announce it?

[tanyev]

6. They should at least announce that he

had the physical. They've done it every year for many years. Unless things are somehow, uh, different now.....:tinfoilhat:

[mcscajun]

7. Hell, no!

I'm not naive as all that.

Just intensely curious, is all...

[grasswire]

2. we could write to ...

...a few WH correspondents and ask them to ask about it.

[MrUnderhill]

3. Will they suspend his ability to fly?

On AF1 that is.

4. Presidential physicals have been taken off the plate

No more publically announced physicals for the president. The medical condition of the president is now a matter of national security and people who have not been first screened by the DHS cannot have access to such important national security information.

I'd put in a "/sarcasm" tag, but I don't think I'm far off the mark here.

:scared:

5. I'm rooting for

presenile dementia.

oh wait. crap. that'd be very bad.

also, anyone notice that Tecumseh's Curse hasn't come into effect yet?

[mcscajun]

10. Supposedly the 'curse' has already been broken...

...when Reagan (elected in 1980) survived the attempt on his life.

11. Modern medicine made the difference

When Reagan was shot, I found it interesting that if not for the advances of modern medicine, he would have followed the pattern of the curse.

[greenbriar]

14. well not really...he was shot

we just have better medical technology today. Had he been shot in lincoln's or Garfields time, he would have died

[fryguy]

8. anti-alcohalism medications

i think he's back on the sauce, or never went off it, and they've been feeding him some of those new drugs which reduce one's dependant cravings. therefore, they didn't want him to have the physical before the election or else the medications might have been detected and the story blown....

9. They'll find out he gave Condi fibroid tumors

he is infectious!!!

[mcscajun]

13. Huh? (n/t)

12. I wondered that also

but even if he does have one, it will be sponged off and cleaned up anyhow, so I do not place too much faith in it. The doctor will be his lackey, and no one would dare ever leak any iformation that could be negative.
