Bush Pronounced "Fit For Duty"
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 02:06 PM by RestoreGore
The exam obviously did not include a psychological evalution. Don't you have peace of mind now?

WASHINGTON - President Bush was successfully treated for Lyme disease nearly a year ago, the White House announced Wednesday.

The condition had never been revealed until the White House on Wednesday made public the results of his annual physical exam. They said that he was treated for what they called "early, localized Lyme disease" last August after developing the characteristic bullseye rash, and that it did not recur.

Lyme disease is a common tick-borne infection that if left untreated can cause arthritis and other problems. The president's main form of exercise and recreational activity is mountain biking, which could bring him in contact with ticks.

Bush's last physical was Aug. 1, 2006, conducted as usual on a several-hours visit to the National Naval Medical Center in suburban Maryland. From this one, which took place in a series of exams at the White House over a couple of weeks, doctors pronounced him healthy overall.

"Doctors have determined that the president remains in superior fitness for a man his age — anybody who's seen him on the bike or out and about certainly knows that — and that he is fit for duty," Snow said.

end of excerpt.

13. BUT he did not go to the Bethesda Medial Center
he got the doctors and their equipment come to the whitehouse. He didn't do his colonoscopy in the hospital. He didn't do his exam in the hospital. Think he is afraid someone might be out to get him. How paranoid. All that extra money for the taxpayers to spend for nothing. Most people would puke if they had to touch him.
