Physical exam shows Obama in 'excellent' health
(CNN) - President Barack Obama is in tip-top shape, according to a physical exam released Thursday by the White House.
Dr. Ronny L. Jackson, director of the White House's medical unit, described Obama's overall health as "excellent."
An otherwise healthy commander in chief, the report shows that Obama, 52, takes ibuprofen to treat intermittent plantar fasciitis in his right foot, a supplement for a mild vitamin D deficiency and the occasional nicotine gum - a residual effect of an old smoking habit.
"All clinical data indicates that the President is currently healthy and that he will remain so for the duration of his Presidency," Jackson said in a memo.
The exam was conducted in May and is the third medical report released by the White House in Obama's presidency.
CNN's Dana Davidsen contributed to this report.

Stay Strong, Mr President.
The Physical Exam isn't the one that we need to be concerned about.
So is Mitt Romney , he looks great and the Dr said he is ready for the 2 am phone call .

Yea boy. And after seeing Obama manhandle those 5 pound dumbbells, Richard Simmons look out!
Here's another matter the republicans can politicize till the cows come home. Let the hate begin.
A vitamin D deficiency with all the golf he plays? Still chewing Nicotine gum.... did he really quit or are they not telling us the truth so as to not take away from the First lady's health and nutrition initiatives.
