(CNN) - Barack Obama is in "excellent health," the Illinois senator's doctor said in a letter summarizing the presidential candidate's medical history.
Obama's campaign released the letter to the press Thursday.
It doesn't surprise me that Obama's Dr. David Scheiner's report finds him in excellent physical and mental health. I don't think Obama would take on the responsibility of running for president knowing his health was questionable because the American people deserve better. I'm 65 years old and wish I could jog one mile a day, however I recognize the younger you are the more physically and mentally fit one is, I don't try to make a fool out of myself.

WAKE UP AMERICA!
Of course he is good health...he has been feeding off of the lifeblood of his opponets ever since the beginning of his political career. Has any read the headlines today? Have you read how Obama has dishonourably muscled his way into his position? Obama challenged his opponents' petitions and forced them off the ballot while running in Chcago. If somebodys signature was 'printed' and not 'written', it was dismissed. This is just one example of how he uses dirty tricks to try and force his competition out so voters have no real choice! You can take a man outta Chicago, but ya can't take Chicago outta the man. He will do ANYTHING to win. He's a snake oil salesman GET RID OF HIM while you can!

Family history is important in determining risk of heart disease. Senator McCain's father (John McCain Jr.) died at the age of 70 of heart disease and his grandfather (John McCain Sr.) died of a heart attack at the age of 61. Add to that the fact that Senator McCain was a two-pack a day smoker for many years and you have to hope he picks a highly qualified vice-presidential candidate.

Obama should drop out of the race. Clinton will lead in popular votes...so he should just go back to the Senate, get some credibility and experience, go to Iraq, quit smoking (how disgusting! what a great role model)), and then run in 2016. let's be serious.

Of course he is 'excellent health'.
He's never done anything of substance.

Obama's BP is 90 over 60? That's dis-guuuusting.

Obviously, the doctor is poor at what he does. He should have noticed the knive wounds to his back from Senator Clinton and husband Bill.

I guess they skipped the psychological part of the exam to determine whether he is fit to run for office. Also, Obama's immunology specialist confirmed that Barack gets a rash whenever he wears an American flag on his lapel

Barack is releasing his medical report to the public!
John McCain releases his for 3 hours, before a holiday weekend, no internet, camera's in the room that they were released in with limited press there. Oh yeah, McCain's medical records was over 300 pages and was only between 2001 to 2008. With 300 pages for 8 years! Did they piece this guy together...McFrankenstein!

Who gives a crap about his health. I am more worried about his plans for my country. What is his hope and change. Will it benefit my country? I have serious doubts and he does nothing to calm those fears.
I will take a sick and old McCain over a young and healthy know nothing politician anytime. At least I know that he loves America from day one.
