MCCAIN RESTRICTS ACCESS TO MEDICAL RECORDS
“McCain won’t release medical records” but no mention of barry’s medical records, which he was/is blocking legal access to.
The headline is a lie.
Sen McCain was “restricting access” and yet 13 words in:
…Sen John McCain will release 400 pages of his medical records…
In 1999, during first run for president, he released 1500 pages of medical records, which they’ve had access to for 8 years. 400 more from 2000 – 2008 vs 1500 pages for his entire life, including his POW years and extensive psychiatric testing is more than reasonable.
And he released them to the major networks: CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, the Arizona Republic. and FOX. Not Kos, Huffington Post, Factcheck and politifact.
No mention that Mr Transparency hadn’t released his either.
For more than a year, the four-term senator has repeatedly promised to release his recent medical records, but has not yet done so.
And then they listed Sen McCain’s physical limitations like he was bedridden. No mention of what his injuries were and how hard he worked to overcome them. And of course, no mention of his completely cogent 97 y/o mother and her twin sister, who still drive.
Quoted as written:
Still, the candidate’s age at 72, he would be the oldest president ever to take office and especially his health threaten to become campaign issues.
And barry’s hair hair turned gray and he needed several vacations while Secry Clinton campaigned for him.
And barry’s medical records?
A couple of paragraphs from a neighborhood doctor. No past medical history. No psychiatric history. No immunization records to see where he might have traveled. No mention of the medical records he was “restricting access to” and how he was fighting their release in court.
Just this:
At just 46, Sen. Barack Obama, Mr. McCain’s likely opponent, is young enough to be his son, and he has highlighted his health by doffing his shirt at the beach and sprinting up and down the basketball court, all, of course, in front of news cameras.
Proven lie:
The Obama campaign insists it will not make age an issue in the campaign.
They used McCain’s age and rage and of course race. They said they weren’t going to use religion or patriotism and complained about it constantly.
barry’s medical records still have not been released. The media hasn’t asked and regular citizens don’t have the right to.
The absolute corruption of the press is worse than anything barry might have done because the press has enabled him.
A sitting president is named in lawsuit after lawsuit and there’s no media in the courtroom – a clear breach of their Constitutional duty to The American People and nobody seems to care.
