Still No Medical Records From Palin

ABC News’ Kate Snow reports: With three days left until the election, the John McCain campaign still has not, despite frequent requests, released any information about vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s medical history, prompting some well-warranted skepticism.

Of course there are plenty of perfectly innocent explanations. The governor is perfectly healthy and the campaign feels no public pressure to release information? The doctor is on vacation and unreachable?  The dog ate their records?

There are also more sinister explanations.  But we won’t go there.

Last Sunday morning, Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt told ABC News that Palin’s staff planned to release information regarding her medical history "early in the week."

That was six days ago. ABC News has asked repeatedly about the status of the release of information and received no updates from the campaign.  It is unclear what is holding things up.

"We’ll let you know when we have something to say," spokeswoman Maria Comella said on Thursday.  Today she had no comment when asked again.

Aides suggested privately that there was nothing to hide in the records, but that it was simply taking a while to call doctors and round up the appropriate information to release.

It was ten days ago that Governor Palin said she would be "fine" with releasing her records.

She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.

Palin did suggest that releasing her records could be fodder for political attacks of some kind.

"So be it, if that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over.  Fine.  I’m healthy, I’m happy, had five kids.  That is going to be in the medical records.  Never been seriously ill or hurt.  You will see that in the medical records if they’re released," Palin told NBC’s Brian Williams on October 22.

Day 659 and still no full medical records from Obama.
and still no: authentic birth certificate, Illinois senate records, Columbia school records, law firm client records, the list goes on.
And Kate Snow, what kind of ROTTEN thing are you trying to start with “there are more sinister explanations”….what in the heck are you trying to do? And you call yourself a journalist? Is there any doubt why several surveys have showed that ABC news is far biased toward Obama?
show some respect, for once in your life Kate.

She should do exactly what Obama did. Release one page and one page only.

Posted by: frankly my dear | November 1, 2008, 2:37 pm 2:37 pm

ABC News, please keep pressing Governor Palin for her medical records. It is absolutely essential that voters know the full medical conditions of the candidates they’re considering.

Maybe she had an abortion!

Maybe her “pro-life” stance would have to be revised? Botox? Steroids??!??

Posted by: Ron From Baltimore | November 1, 2008, 2:38 pm 2:38 pm

Her medical records being released will be like Bristol and Levys wedding date, both will never happen.
If she release her complete records it would show she is not Trigs mom, Bristol is.. As for the wedding, as soon as election day is over so is the wedding plans……! just a scam…

Yes it would be suspicious if she never saw a doctor during the entire time she carried and gave birth to a fifth child.

Posted by: jim | November 1, 2008, 2:39 pm 2:39 pm

Mabye she had an abortion or that the baby she has is really her daughters like people think it is. mabye what shes hiding is something from her past she did that discounts that she is this great mother. mabye we will find out that she was hospitalized for domestic violence. who knows she wont let people see them. if she has nothing to hide then why not show it?

And what happened to Joe The Plunger?
He was the center of McCain’s campaign three days ago, then … *POOF* … he just … VANISHED.

Posted by: Ed from MA | November 1, 2008, 2:39 pm 2:39 pm

It is obvious that Governor Palin is hiding something – perhaps a medication that she is taking or some medical condition that would need some explaining. We all know that the docs involved would get together the information asap if requested… that is for sure. So Senator McCain simply does not want any of this out before election day – what a shame for the any potential cover up – so sad for America that it has to be this way.

As badly managed as the McCain/Palin campaign is, I tend to believe that it is probably just due to pure incompetence on the part of the campaign staff to pull this info together.

Posted by: Jim | November 1, 2008, 2:41 pm 2:41 pm

Whatever she is hiding can’t be good, otherwise they would have been released a long time ago. Abortion, drugs, depression?

Posted by: AudreyA | November 1, 2008, 2:41 pm 2:41 pm

The “true” medical records will never be released beause it would reveal Sarah once had a abortion, and her infant son is actually her grandson. Lets face it Caribou Barbie is actually a breath of HOT air. Another deceptive lying Republican. Plus she’s a wack job,a diva and a divider who never can take any contructive advice. Sarah still doesn’t know what a VPs duties are under the Constitution.

Posted by: AJ | November 1, 2008, 2:42 pm 2:42 pm

COME ON!!!!! Mrs. Palin you yourself stated that nothing would be found. You stated that I am healty and have had 5 children ( I thought was kind of odd to state thia as it was well know you have 5 children but I will give you the benifit of the doubt) The more I hear about you the more I am disgusted. You tote on the campain trail honesty, integrety BULL you MRS. Palin are the one who violated ETHIC’S in your state. WE are still wating on this to see if even more ethics were violated as you spoke 2 weeks ago on Friday with the commitee. So my question to you COULD YOU BE HIDING SOMETHING? Will this be our SUPRISE

For those of you who continue with the inane conspiracy theories about Obama please do your research and accept the facts.
You cannot create the facts you want because the truth is you cannot accept the truth.
All of the conspiracy theories have been laid to rest by much more informed and capable people than those who disseminate poison e-mails from the Republican party, as well as those who rehash the dribble over and over on these comment boards.

I hope that ABC highlights this on the evening news and on their Sunday morning programs today, Sunday and Monday — or they in my consideration are playing part of the cover-up…
So ABC, do you best to relate the fact that Governor Palin and Senator McCain are NOT releasing the medical information.
There is something there, what is is as you have said is speculative, but it is something that the campaign does not want out there, that’s for sure!!!

WHAT’S SHE HIDING?
Its the same thing with the Patriot act: we may not like the extra transparency but if we have nothing to hide then we have little good reason to withhold something as simple as med records. There is a difference between “I am healthy and my medical records confirm that” and “I am healthy but you may never know if I’ve had a crack addiction or brain dammage”.

It should not be ignore that the campaign is not willing to release medical records – for whatever reason – which only suggests that there is something to hide. Worth making the public aware of, especially following eight years of unprecedented secrecy from the executive branch.

If there were nothing to hide, or fret about, within them, they would have been released.

Why the hypocracy in our politics.
I know the media is biased but the hypocracy here is beyond belief.
Obama doesn’t release his records and his supporters are after Palin.

Congrats to Kate Snow for keeping pace with this issue – DON’T STOP – please, for the sake of integrity of campaigning and for the future of this campaign and campaigns to come.
I agree that there is a cover-up of some medical condition or medications that Governor Palin is currently taking or has taken… and this should come out.
Or as somebody said, she may be getting some BOTOX injections or has had plastic surgery or dermal fillers???
Who knows – but Senator McCain and/or his campaign staff does NOT want this out.
Again, Kate, thanks for your efforts!!!

Posted by: William Barns | November 1, 2008, 2:50 pm 2:50 pm

Very odd to say the least that these medical records have not been released! Thank you for reporting this important information.

David – get a grip.
Did you know that Obama has never released his medical records? Maybe that would make a good “cover-up” story for the news shows, also. Maybe they could also include several of the other “unknowns” related to Obama. (like Columbia transcript, Bar application, should I go on?)

Posted by: John in Oregon | November 1, 2008, 2:51 pm 2:51 pm

Obama released his records…
but a healthy 48 year old male is going to have a list that is pretty short…a page is sufficient because that may be all there really is.
Palin has had kids…her records would be more substantial.

It is absolutely ABSURD that she has not released this; worse, it is frightening.
We are left with two possibilities – there is something very problematic with her health history or that she has a penchant for needless secrecy. Either is unacceptable.

A note from a doctor saying one is in good health, is hardly “medical records” LOL
Hey Jake! Isn’t this more worthy of news?
As part of our ongoing investigation into issues surrounding voter fraud, we have discovered a VERY disconcerting situation. And this time, it’s not in Ohio…
It looks like out-of-state volunteers and staffers are registering and casting ballots in the battleground state of New Mexico, too.
One example is Shayne Adamski. He lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, is actively involved in politics and was a California delegate at the Democratic National Convention just 2 short months ago. Adamski is also a paid employee on the Obama campaign, and he traveled to New Mexico to help get out the vote in this swing state. All of this is quite admirable.
However, according to the Bernalillo County Clerk, Adamski registered to vote as a resident of Albuquerque on October 5. That’s just 38 days after he was representing the state of California as a delegate on the final day of the Democratic National Convention. He also requested an absentee ballot. (We do not yet know if he cast a ballot, we are waiting to hear from the County Clerk.)
Or the fact that the Government Supervisor lied and tried to cover up her investigation into Joe The Plumber? Yup…she was tagged by an employee who was asked to do the dirty deed, and also told to lie about it, when questioned.
Nice job, on getting the REAL stories out there!!!
Maybe you’d be better suited at running the shake machine at McDonalds?

Posted by: Jeanie | November 1, 2008, 2:52 pm 2:52 pm

Perhaps she has something embarrassing to hide. If she is

If she is on psychological meds or has had plastic surgery
the voters have a right to know these things too.

Sarah Palin has more than proved she is incompetent,a liar, and a totally unethical person. She rants about socialism and is the Governor of the biggest socialist state there is. She rants about “terrorist”, yet she supports the Alaskan Independence Party. She rants about full disclosure, but does not disclose herself. She rants about Obama wanting to destroy the constitution, but she admits to wanting to ignore the constitution by creating more power for the VP position than the constitution allows. She screams about Obama’s tax plan when Alaska has no taxes to speak of.
Sarah Palin was chosen by McCain…What does this dangerous choice for VP tell us about McCains love for this country. McCain has endangered America by potentially putting us in the hands of this totally inept and unethical person.

What does she and the McCain know and are refusing to devulge?
What a shame on the campaign… what a shame that Governor Palin cannot come forth — and if this comes out after the campaign, how will it be spun, etc.
And the docs who know the answers have to be silent because of HIPPA laws, and it has to be Governor Palin to give permission to release any information.

Day Six and Obama Still Not Released:
1. Obama has refused to release his official papers as a state legislator in Illinois. When ask about why he has not released the papers, he says it has been a long time since I was an Illinois state senator. Really Obama, what are you hidding?
2. Obama has not released his client list as an attorney or his billing records. Is Obama hidding the fact he has represented seedy characters such as the convicted Tony Rezko. Bill and Hillary Clinton released all this information, why not Obama?
3. Obama’s campaign staff is refusing to give Columbia University the authorization to release Barack Obama’s undergraduate transcripts and other records. Is there anything that could implicate Obama’s connect to Marxist and anti-American organizations? What is being covered up here?
4. Obama’s undergraduate thesis has disappeared from the Columbia University archives. How convenient for Obama that this record of his writings has disappeared. Could Obama thesis been on his plan to socialize the government?
5. Obama has yet to release his Harvard Law School transcripts and other records. Same here, what does Obama want out of the public view?
6. Obama has refused to release to the media and public his small donor list that reportedly contains almost half as foreign donors. Who are these foreigners that are supporting Obama? What interests do they have and we can be they are not in our best national interest.
7. Obama has neen suited in federal court to produce a true and official transcript of his birth certificate and record of live birth. There is evidence Obama did not recently return to Hawaii to visit his ill grandmother but to seal and/or destroy these records that could prove Obama is not a legal citizen of the United States.
8. Obama continues to deny his associations with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, anti-American/anti-white race Rev Wright and other questionable characters (see below).
9. Obama will not disclose his tie to the co-founder of the Arab group, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi. He is a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department. a PLO terrorist. LA Times has a tape of a meeting between Obama, Ayers and Khalidi but will not release the tape.

It’s repeatedly said, “she should just give one page” as Obama did. I’d be happy with that. So why won’t Palin do even that?
As for liberati’s question, “what kind of ROTTEN thing are you trying to start with ‘there are more sinister explanations,’” I think the answer is simple. Snow could have enumerated the boundless list of possibilities that would be very damning for Palin. But why enumerate them when we can think of them all for ourselves? Again, if there’s nothing to hide and you want to stop the rumors, then show the record. Isn’t that what the rush to talk about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy was all about?
I think candidates (along with everyone in the country) has a right to keep their medical records private. Fine. I bet Sarah Palin thinks the same. So why did she say she’d release her records if she didn’t want to?
Please, straight talk express. Give me a break.

Who cares any more? November 5th, 2008 Palin/McCain old republican dinosaurs. It is time for new progressive Republicans to take control of the party. For the party to survive they will have to and Palin followers are on the wrong side of history. This right wing Prophet Reagan mentality just went out the window with the economic melt down and nationalization of the banks. The sleep at the switch, put government on vacation, turn off your brain and hope for the best strategy just does not work. The profit motive cannot solve all problems and shareholders and consumer rights are not enough. I do not think she has connected the dots yet. The next President after Obama will be a woman, just not Palin.

It’s obvious she is hiding something. Why will she not release her mediacl records. What sane woman would fly 9 nine hours from Austin to Achorage and drive to Wasilla to have a baby there. Are there no doctors in Austin. This stinks to high heaven. She is a liar and a fraud.

You do realize that the more you beat up this woman the more people are going to vote for McCain right? If you knew what was good for you, you’d stop attacking her with both barrells and train some of that vitriol on your Democratic buddy McCain… Nah, you better trash the ONLY conservative on the ticket and kiss McCain’s liberal BUTT!!

For the same reasons McCain did not release his mental records.

…AND STILL INCOMPLETE MEDICAL RECORDS FROM PLAGIARIST-JOE.
As many know, Plagiarist-Joe’s brain aneurysm has already done a lot of irreversible damage – just like hussein’s extensive drug use. Both are mentally impaired and totally unqualified for any position of responsibility.
Plagiarist-Joe has withheld the latest results of his brain scan from the public – for obvious reasons.
Wake up America! Reject the shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, inexperienced, Marxist, drug-addicted, elitist, narcissistic, flip-flopping gas-bag who is so mentally deficient from extensive drug use he even has to plagiarize his hollow platitudes, AND REJECT HIS BRAIN IMPAIRED RUNNING MATE!

Is it medically possible to determine that someone is incompetent by looking at their medical records? Maybe that’s why she doesn’t want them released. She doesn’t want the public to know that she’s stupid and not ready for higher public office.

The more you see of Palin, the less credible she becomes. Her “maverick” fights in Alaska turn out to be political expediency. support the bridge to nowhere until the bridge to nowhere is dead, and then take the money and say you don’t support it. The big pipeline deal? It may never get built and is tainted with croneyism and questionable bidding practices. Her actions as governor? Sell the plane on ebay at a loss as a publicity stunt and then bill the state for airfare for her kids to attend events to which they were invited. Try to get books “objectionable” books pulled out of the public library, and try to fire the librarian when you fail. Abuse your power, i.e. Troopergate – that’s the one where she wanted a full inquiry before she didn’t want a full inquiry. She is just phony baloney. Not dumb but smart like a rat. All I can think of when I hear her is Anita Bryant. Sop what makes you think she’d become transparent at this late date. Refusal to disclose equals something (new) to hide.

Posted by: lbh | November 1, 2008, 3:04 pm 3:04 pm

We won’t get this news before election because the republicans will not release it because they know what it contains. I want to know also What is the status of the inquiry that took depositio? They were supposed to be released sometime soon as well.
So it closing she won’t release her medical records and we are still waiting on the inquiry into MORE ethic violations? A NONEMBER ELECTION SUPRISE I can HOPE HOPE AND HOPE.
AS stated by SEVERAL REPUBLICAN’s she is not ready to be VP nor President if need be…… She was chosen so quicky because she was a female. I am a WHITE, AMERICAN FORMER REPUBLICAN who will vote for CHANGE
OBAMA (People go VOTE VOTE VOTE ) Change is coming

Here is where the “tax cuts” will go. It will be going to illegal relatives of OBAMA’S living on the taxpayer buck (but of course, even though OBama invited BOTH THIS AUNT AND A MISSING UNCLE at minimum and they attended Obama Senate acceptance and donated to him, he claims as though we are completely stupid that he didn’t know anything about them being here.)
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has said he was not aware that he had an Kenyan aunt living illegally in the United States.
The Associated Press news agency says Zeituni Onyango lost a bid for asylum four years ago.
The Obama campaign issued a statement: “Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.”
According to AP, Ms Onyango is the half-sister of Mr Obama’s late father.
She has been living in public housing in Boston, it adds.
AP says its information about Ms Onyango, 56, is based on two separate sources, one of them a federal law enforcement official.
Ms Onyango, referred to as “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir, was instructed to leave America by a US immigration judge who had denied her asylum request, a “person familiar with the matter” told AP late on Friday.
The source spoke on condition of anonymity because “no-one was authorised to discuss Onyango’s case”.
According to AP, Ms Onyango has not been mentioned in the presidential candidate’s speeches and “is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life”.
Several meetings
Mr Obama’s father grew up in Kenya herding goats but gained a scholarship to study in Hawaii where he met and married Mr Obama’s mother, who was living in Honolulu with her parents.
The house in Boston where Mr Obama’s aunt is said to have been living
The house where the aunt lived, pictured on Thursday
Barack Obama Senior left his son when he was two years old and lived most of his life in Kenya, where he fathered six other sons and a daughter with three other wives. He died in a car crash in 1982.
The presidential hopeful first met his father’s side of the family when he travelled to Africa 20 years ago.
Describing the visit in his memoir, he talks of “Auntie Zeituni” being “a proud woman”.
Mr Obama’s campaign was quoted by AP as saying he had seen her a few times since that meeting, beginning with a return trip to Kenya with his future wife, Michelle, in 1992.
Ms Onyango visited the family in Chicago on a tourist visa at Mr Obama’s invitation about nine years ago, the campaign added, stopping to visit friends on the East Coast before returning to Kenya.
She attended Mr Obama’s swearing-in to the US Senate in 2004 but campaign officials say the politician provided no assistance in getting her a tourist visa and does not know the details of her stay.
The campaign added, in its statement quoted by AP, that Mr Obama had last heard from her about two years ago when she called saying she was in Boston but he did not see her there.
Donations returned
The Obama campaign also said it was returning $260 that Ms Onyango had donated in small increments to her nephew’s presidential bid.
Only green card-holders and American citizens may vote, under federal election law.
Ms Onyango listed her employer as the the Boston Housing Authority and last gave $5 on 19 September, AP says.
Many experts estimate there are more than 10 million illegal immigrants in the US.

Obama is a liar and cheat
This guy has corruption written all over him:
No birth certificate to prove HE is even a US Citizen
Funding Acorn (which has dead people voting and non existant people voting)
Compared the US to Nazi Germany
Diverted funds from math and science education to political activism
He’s going to be owned by the Chicago Mob which has done several favors for him
Untraced donations: his campaign is taking untraced donations by the millions and claiming they will deal with it after the fact.
His economic plan doesn’t add up for anyone who can do basic math (I’m in the lower brackets who don’t have to pay as much, but I still recognize how it won’t work)
He’s promising to save the world and has no record for accomplishing anything.
He’s going to destroy what little is left of the economy
He’s anti-free speech: demonstrated by kicking three reporters off his plan because their newspaper didn’t endorse him.
Said he would take public campaign financing, lied about, and changed his mind
Spend 20 years attending the church of guy who has cursed America (and married Obama) then claims he didn’t really know much about him (either he is an unaware idiot or someone who lies through his teeth)

Why should a VP candidate release private records if a presidential candidate (Obama) won’t?
Also, could anyone point me to a link when ABC used this kind of tone to cover Obama’s refusal to disclose?
It’s something to talk about now that we know that Obama has left his illegal alien aunt without help or comfort, in a slum.
She was told not to talk, so they knew where she was.
Compassion? He’s cold, and we know it.

Other than the fact that she has not kept her word about releasing the records, who cares! She’ll fade into the snow in Alaska on Nov 5th. Bye, bye, Caribou Barbie, bye, bye!

She refuses to face up to any and everything! She won’t step up to the plate in her abuse of power case, and now she won’t release her medical records! How will she step up to the plate when it comes to more serious issues, like dealing with the economy (which she and McCain know NOTHING about), or dealing with the war on terrorism (which she also knows NOTHING about)?
She is a joke, McCain is a joke, and Obama won this election a long,long time ago. At least we’ll have a Commander In Chief with a brain this time around.

she definitely has something to hide as she does not even DARE to come out with a ONE PAGE report, which would have been perfectly acceptable. If everything is hunky-dory, this report would have been out ages ago. Wait till the truth is out there, and you would know what she had really been up to!!

Posted by: Karen | November 1, 2008, 3:06 pm 3:06 pm

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the “original” birth certificate on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen the original document and posted it on the Internet; Obama claimed in his memoir Dreams from my Father that he had in his possession his birth certificate which is a lie; Hawaii officials have now refuted Obama’s false assertion because they say they hold the “original birth certificate” but for political reasons cannot show it to the American public. Why won’t the original birth certificate information be released? The DNC has said the American public has no rights to know what is on this birth certificate. This is outrageous! Only a few days to the election and the American public still does not have access to his education records, his original birth certificate record, answers to questions why he has traveled on an Indonesia Passport instead of a US Passport? No TRANSPARENCY just deceptions. Good Bye America

I think failing a drug test should disqualify one from office………and obama refuses to show all but one page of his medical records. Instead of worrying about Palin giving birth to a handicapped child or not, shouldn’t you goofy Obamabots be worried about you admitted drug using candidate?

How many days have we waited for the LA Times to honor the “Peoples Right to Know” by releaseing the Obama Video Tape? What a gang of hypocrits. The press will sue to publish autopsy photos but won’t release a highly relevant tape. Their reason – to protect their source. Do they really believe that they can’t pixilate the name or face of the person who needs protection. If they can obscure the mommy-parts of every pop-tart in Hollywood, they can protect their ‘source’. Besides, if we really want Obama’s records, his crony that dug up all the private informaton in the State of Ohio’s data base on Joe the Plumber should be able to oblige. What a herd of hypocrits. The Brits call them Velvet Facists and they are on the verge of turning the only true democracy on earth into a socialist state.

I could care less about her medical records. The worst she’s probably hiding is a tummy tuck and having her tubes tied after her last pregnancy this year. After all, she stated she wasn’t having any more kids. If she wasn’t practicing birth control of some type, how could she know that. Frankly, she looks healthy, as does Obama. McCain clearly had major health issues, as did Biden. Both of them should have had more disclosure than they did.
Why waste your breath on her medical records? Her lies on the campaign trail are more important.

If there is something hidden in them that will cause most sensible people to gasp, her supporters will simply ignore it and continue to proclaim her the finest politician ever and insult the rest of us for not sharing their kool-aide.
On the other hand, for those who have watched this woman over the last few months, who have listened to what comes from this woman’s lipsticked lips, there can be nothing revelatory that would change our minds that this is one person who should NEVER under ANY circumstance be elected to ANY national office.

Kate, maybe you should spend some of your extra time looking at Sen. Obama’s expenses, for example the recently reported cost of Sen. Obama’s vist to Berlin at a cost of $700,000.00 in campaign funds. An interesting use of campaign funds.

Or maybe,
It is true that Trig does belong to little miss I don’t believe in abstinence.
Is she really pregnant now?
If everything is as she says, why don’t Ms plain speaking “honest” Sarah release her records. If all she’s had is 2 main MDs – GYN and primary care MD,
It doesn’t take 11 days (its been longer than that) to get records. There are such things as FEDEX,UPS,fax.

Posted by: DH | November 1, 2008, 3:11 pm 3:11 pm

Interesting comparisons.
Obama has released his birth certificate. McCain has refused.
Obama has released not only a summary of his health from his doctor but his last several years of test results.
Palin has claimed she’d release her records almost a week ago after refusing for months – and they still are not showing up. Not so much as a summary from her doctor, not a thing.

It would be medical malpractice to expose a man in perfect respiratory health to a chest x-ray. And he DID release simple results of blood tests:
“*Triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.”
Once again, a member of the Republican Party of Ignorance, ignorant about basic medicine (x-rays are not given unless there is some symptom to be diagnoised, and running 3-miles a day is not a symptom that calls for xray exposure) and ignorant about the summary records Obama released months ago.

Posted by: chattyway | November 1, 2008, 3:13 pm 3:13 pm

NOW LET US BE LOGICAL ABOUT THIS . . .
(1.) If Sarah Palin’s medical history are squeaky clean or normal, she would not have a problem releasing her records. That is logical.
(2.) But if her medical records were to indicate she was a recent drug user, or having evidence of a previous abortion; than it would impact her credibility on the campaign trail.
Therefore logic dictates Sarah Palin has NOT released her medical records because she is trying to hide something that may impact her credibility. Sara Palin is NOT being forthright and honest. This further confirms Palin’s lack of integrity.
It makes since for Sarah Palin to NOT release her medicals before the election if she believes it will be all for naught if McSame loses.
Think People! Don’t be bamboozled by these con-artist into voting a third straight term of McBush policy failures. They are hiding an awful lot.
GOD Bless the United Sates of America!

Uhhh . . . I think you just did. As a former newspaper copy editor in a mid-sized city (way back in the 80s, when “journalistic integrity” wasn’t an oxymoron), I can say with certainty that I’d have lost my job if I failed to edit out such a sophomoric comment — even from a piece labeled as “opinion.” Kate, stick to the facts and let people make their own conclusions. You stated that Palin said she would be willing to release her records. You noted that the campaign has not followed through. I think the public can connect the dots on their own: Is it important *to me* to know a candidate’s health history? Does this constitute a “broken promise” in my mind? How does it compare to the other candidates’ responses to the same request?
The conspiracy theorists and Palin supporters can then, battle it out from there.

I agree with the folks who say she should just release the one page “note from her doctor”. I’m a strong Obama supporter, and any attention wasted on Palin (or time spent attacking Obama) is a distraction from our country’s future. Let’s stick to the issues, not attack Palin or Obama.
If a doctor who has thoroughly examined her is willing to put it in writing that she has no medical issues in the (~15%) chance she’ll be required to take over as President if McCain wins, that’s fine with me.
Of course, that no doctor has apparently been willing to do so makes one wonder…

I have never seen a candidate, with perphaps the exception of NY Rudy, who enjoys slinging mud more than Palin, or who enjoys lying more for the simply reason of promoting herself.
So she lied about releasing her medical records. Why? Because she has lied about something during her campaign blitz and would get caught in the lie.

Obama did garduate from Harvard. He was editor of the HArvard Law Review, so I think we can assume he was not 4th from the bottom in his class, nor did he have to go to 6 different schools in one year just to get a BA.

Why is Sarah Palin unwilling to release her medical records when everyone else in the campaign has released theirs? It’s probably because she has something to hide and doesn’t want to have impact their campaign negatively. She talks about being treated differently from the media but she holds herself to different standards than the other candidates.

Obama released more in October, per the NY Times, “Many Holes in Disclosure of Nominees’ Health” By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN, M.D published Oct. 19, 2008: Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, 47, the Democratic presidential nominee, released a one-page, undated letter from his personal physician in May stating that he was in “excellent” health. Late last week, his campaign released the results of standard laboratory tests and electrocardiograms from his checkups in June 2001, November 2004 and January 2007. The findings were normal.

Sorry True American for Obama/Biden but Sen. Obama’s blood work as was reported in the one page summary is more than 16 months old. Any male over the age of 45 with a family history of Cancer and is a smoker should have an annual physical that includes a chest x-ray.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer.

I think we all need to be reminded there is a war going on and Obama and the democrats want to cut war spending and funding to our troops by 25% leaving our troops underpaid, outgunned, under armored and unsupplied. Please all John McCain supporters wear as much camoflauge clothing as possible for the next 4 days and remind voters of this fact. Our troops are still in Iraq and they will not want Obama as a President. Now 2 faced Obama is saying he did not support the economic bailout and criticizing John McCain for it when he also voted for it. Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree! Remind our boys and girls over there we love them, want them to have a home to come home to. A home thats safe from harm. I agree with some of the posters here that Obama is like Fidel Castro promising to spread wealth and socialism and regime change like in 1960′s Cuba. How well has that worked out?

It is amazing to me that some of the people on this list are actually going to be allowed to vote in an election. How come people are only arrested for “hate speech” if they are saying something that “liberals” disagree with?
Obamanists: you are demanding Palin’s medical records, but I don’t see any demand that your candidate should produce his records (you know it was just a generic note, even the MSM has characterized it that way). Not to mention producing any real records to put to rest the discussion of whether he is indeed a natural-born citizen. Now you suggest the most outrageous things about Sarah Palin based on considerably less evidence than is being applied to the Messiah. Obamanists think he is “post-partisan” because if it were up to them there WOULD be only one party and only one authorized opinion.
GOPers, surely we can’t complain about the Messiah refusing to produce his birth certificate and medical records if Sarah Palin won’t do the same (at least she should say that she won’t do until the Messiah does). Assuming for the moment that there is nothing special in there, I can understand that she is concerned that WHATEVER she releases will immediately be turned into a circus by the hate-mongers on the left; even if her records are clean as a whistle the crazies will still say they were doctored.
Unfortunately, Marxism specifically intends to be a new form of religion. Of course the philosophy has failed everywhere it has been tried, but in a religion, logic is irrelevant. And anyone who disagrees is evil.

Funny how these people have been demanding information from Obama, but have been hiding this and other information from the voters. She probably has been previously diagnosed with some kind of mental illness. That would explain some of her words and actions, such as when she derided as a waste of money the very research that has furthered the fight against autism and other diseases and promised to cut off its funding if elected.

Palin is like W in so many ways… he never released his medical records either.
Perhaps there was a history of insanity we should have been told about.
More newsworth still would be a story on Palin’s recent assertion that the press has no right to question or criticize her because if they do so, according to her, they are violating the 1st amendment (which last time I checked guaranteed the freedom of the press).
Either this woman has no understanding of the constitution (frightening) or she is a power-crazed maniac (more frightening).

Possible reasons why Governor Sarah Palin refuses to release medical records:
1)That baby is not hers (1st/2nd daughter’s baby)
2)She had an abortion
3)STD (HIV/AIDS)
4)Drug and Alcohol Abuse
5)First child is not her husband
6)Mental Problems

The republicans have pulled out the kitchen sink on Obama, but if you want to know why Palin not releasing her records .go tho the Alaskan nes the day she gave a press release on her pregnancy and shcked her whole staff because she did not look pregnant at 7 months. Then the next month in Texas, her water was to have broken, and she tooka 10 hour plan ride to Alaska in labor. I don’t know no ailine or doctor that would let you fly when your water is broken. You acan ask your mom or grand mother if you are having your 5th baby not only are going to really show because those mucsles have been stretch, but you baby will come wiyhin an hour of labor. Then she was at work three days later saying she was a real maverick that were ther term came from, the workers refered to her as amaverick because she had a baby and back at work almost the next day. All this information is in the Alaskn news paper for public viewing and the Journalist name to go with it. So when iot comes to slinging mud a Obama said family was off limits he stuck with it but I won’t. The reporter who is keeping up with Palins promises should also hold her feet to the fire and get those records today.

Posted by: mary derricotte | November 1, 2008, 3:36 pm 3:36 pm

Yep there is that whole transparency thing they keep promising. With all fo the other scandal and innuedo surrounding her, this should be a no brainer, if there is nothing to ridicule her on, then so be it, they could have even done what they did with McCain, give reporters an hour to look over the records without cameras or recorders. Clearly there is SOMETHING there that is potentially embarrassing. and STD, 4 pregnancies instead of five, birth control somewhere in the past, did her hubby knock her around once or twice? Look for release late monday if at all, they want to minimize the news cycle for whatever bad news there is.

Really? This is news? How is that? What about the multitude of unanswered questions from Obama that are actually relevant to the campaign and are question marks on his character? LA Times tape? Ayers connection? Rev. Wright? And on…an on…and on…
Nice red herring. Where did you go to journalism school? How pushing your candidate to release all the details of his health records?
All that matters is if she is healthy enough to fulfill her duties as VP (or President) of the U.S. We, as citizens, aren’t obligated to all of her medical history. Just if she is healthy enough to do the job. I believe she is and should only put out a single page like Obama did (which the liberal press gave him a pass on – no surprise there).

Posted by: really? | November 1, 2008, 3:37 pm 3:37 pm

Well how many doctors does she have 1, 2, 12, 500 that it takes so long? Now, maybe…maybe…there’s a little problem here like there’s NO Pre Natal care, NO Post Partum Care, an abortion, Prozac use, STD, or who knows what. I mean really, this leaves a lot to suspect here now. She is not going to release it because there is something very damaging in it, or they haven’t finished doctoring it.

I do think she should release them but it would be nice to see the outrage go both ways. Why won’t BO release his original birth certificate? Last I checked it was a constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen to serva as POTUS, not to release your med records. I bet if the public really knew who BO was then it would be McCain vs Hillary. Of course when it comes to libs it is always party first, self second and anything but country and constitution after that.

HONOLULU (AP) — State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.
Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently.
She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.
Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the US.
Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.

Posted by: SamTyler1973 | November 1, 2008, 3:41 pm 3:41 pm

What Obama needs to explain, over and over again, is that Democratic economic programs have succeeded in promoting growth precisely because they distribute national wealth more widely than the Republican tradition of trickle-down. The numbers have told the story for decades — and the statistics detailing the Clinton administration’s success and the Bush administration’s failure have only reinforced the narrative.
Consider the cumulative performance of the stock market. Until this year, the best data available showed that on average, equities increased in value by more than 12 percent during Democratic administrations, and by around 8 percent when Republicans were in power. The largest gains in the past 80 years occurred under FDR, Truman, Johnson and Clinton — and when the awful declines of the past few months are factored in, the Democratic record will look even better.
Of course, stock prices alone provide an imperfect measure of national progress, especially from a liberal perspective. So Obama should point to similar statistics proving the superiority of the Democratic record on gross domestic product, job creation, unemployment, poverty, budget discipline, disposable income and inflation. His purpose should not be to score partisan points but to prepare the public for the struggle over spending and taxes that will mark his first two years.
For the moment, scaring voters is no longer so easy. The Republican administration is nationalizing financial institutions and Republican economists are demanding big federal spending initiatives. But if Obama wants to avoid the defeats of Clinton’s first two years, he must consistently remind Americans what has succeeded and who has failed — and why.

SamTyler1973 – I totally agree the neo-cons need to move back to Ayers. Which I find totally funny. They’re the first to call him a “terrorist” then cling to their guns while chanting about “right to bear arms against an overzealous government”. Apparently, if you’re a Dem & bear arms you’re a terrorist, but if you’re a Repub & bear arms you’re a loyal NRA countryman.

It is interesting that she said “…IF they’re released.” and the quip about the curiosity seekers having another box to check off.
My guess is some kind of antidepressant to deal w/ the long winters (seasonal affective disorder) and having a pregnant unwed daughter and special needs baby at her age. Personally, I don’t think that should disqualify her unless the meds are for something more serious like delusional thinking (I can see Russia, the vp runs the senate, BO pals around with terrorists etc)

I don’t really agree with the release of medical records in general, but since McCain, Obama and Biden have all released their’s, the fact that Palin has not released hers is VERY SUSPICIOUS. If she has a health problem, then I don’t really see the big deal. I mean, if she had treatment for early-stage cancer of some type – so what. But what concerns me is that it is something like the fact that she had an abortion — from the woman who basically wants to make abortion illegal that would be the paragon of hypocrisy.

Bush was a legacy admission, who barely made it through. Obama was at the top of his class. And, the Clinton sex thing was rediculous. I would rather Bush had sex with everyone in his Cabinet than the economic mess he has left us with! The point is that Intellect is more important that if someone has sex with his 24 year old intern!

Posted by: MarkS7177 | November 1, 2008, 3:53 pm 3:53 pm

To “Thinking” – the birth certificate has been released, lawsuit debunked as I’m sure you actually know but refuse to acknowledge.
As far as Palin’s medical records are concerned a one page would have been fine because we are actually more interested in knowing whether she is healthy or not and whether she is on any meds that might hurt her decision making abilities – just like we are with Obama, McCain, and Biden. By NOT releasing anything she has added fuel to the fire and started the whole “who’s Trig’s real Mom”. So by refusing to release anything,she has made people wonder what she is hiding.
And if you want Obama to release more “records”, then we want full disclosure of McCain’s med records (not just a few hours to review and no hard copies) AND full access to his military records (so far blocked by the McCain campaign).

Would you want YOUR medical records made public? Thats private! America needs to be prepared for war and winning the war or the next war. To be complacent and make concessions to countries like Iran or organizations like Hammas is ridiculous. There will never ever be “world peace” their never has been or will be. Those countries have been fighting each other for centuries. The enemies of the USA are becoming more and more sneaky, more emboldened.

Unless proven otherwise by the release of her medical records, I’m convinced that Palin has had cosmetic surgery. Specifically, breast augmentation. That’s what everyone I talk to has come to suspect. Her health will be excellent, but the boob job will be an embarrassment. The McCain would rather risk the wrath of the media (and ABC seems to be the only one pushing for the medical records, so there’s not much pressure from the press) rather than embarrass themselves with another story about Palin’s vanity.

Posted by: DogBitez | November 1, 2008, 4:02 pm 4:02 pm

I am sure that if Sarah Palin is elected, she will show the same care and regard for the United States as she did for her daughter’s chastity. She gaurded that well, huh. Neither did she give her daughter the information and devices she would need to be sexually active. Just what we need.

Oh My God MsRotten: have you got no hearts or mercy towards sick children?
Cindy McCain, a person with a big heart was travelling to Bangladesh and found two girls who were in need of medical care. The girls could die from poor medical facility in Bangladesh. So, she decided to bring them both for better medical care. She feel in love with one of them and decided to adopt her, whose name is Brigit, who still needs medical check up from time to time. Another girl was adopted by one of Cindy’s friends.
This isn’t called UNAMERICAN, this is called “goodwork” and “kind hearted people.” And I admired Cindy’s involvement in many charity and humanitarian works around the world.
I can’t belive you called this UnAmerican. We’re human beings and we’re suppose to show love and kindness toward everyone no matter which nationality.

She has not released her records because the only had ‘four’, not five children and the records reflect that fact. The special needs kid is the daughter’s FIRST child. The GOP is trying to find a doctor willing to go to jail to signoff on an “untruth” and having trouble with locating one.

You can be certain, that IF the records are released…they will be all tidy and clean.
She will point to bloggers and pundits (and their allegations) as “proof” that she should not have to make these records public.
Meanwhile, the depositions she and her husband gave last week are not on the radar screen.
Most important – VOTE and get everyone you know to vote…this will be close…there will be more smears and lies. November 5th could be a very, very sad day for our country if the McCain/Palin ticket wins.

To all those STILL in doubt about Obama’s birth Certificate (from one of many sites that I Googled): FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as “supporting documents” to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said.” Give it up and go back to one of your other lame reasons/accusations!!!

Posted by: imo | November 1, 2008, 4:05 pm 4:05 pm

Wow…I couldn’t even read more than about the first 10 or so of these posts without being totally irritated. I am a democrat, very liberal and very left wing, voting for Obama, and VERY much put off by Palin and McCain and the way they have run their whole “show.” But, I have to say that for this woman to release all of her records would be about releasing very personal information that would just be used to humiliate her. People can think all the negative things they want, and who knows maybe some of it is true, maybe not, most of what I have read here is hateful B.S.
The bottom line is, who really wants to know about every boil, yeast infection, etc, etc, etc.? Can you imagine what the “biased”press would do with all of that? And for the record, I would be happy with ONE picture of her pregnant with Trig to show that he is actually hers. No need for all the gory details.
I think people should leave this one alone with the candidates and accept a Doctor’s written general clean bill of health to satisfy people’s concerns. Unfortunately, we probably won’t get even that from this candidate who seems to be very power hungry at any cost.

As a medical professional who has worked and advised OB for 7+ years – do have many questions about her flying back to Alaska when she was leaking amniotic fluid in her third trimester. Most airlines refuse to let pregnant woman from flying last trimester of pregnancy.
Medically speaking she was endangering her life and her baby’s life – her baby was premature which being her fifth child she would know this is dangerous and also against airline law for passengers. Premature babies usually need extra neonatal emergency life support measure taken.
No medical OB physican would ever release her to fly when last trimester, amniotic fluid leaking, and risk his professional license. Fact i9is fact – he would have law suit and lose his license. Facts are facts!! Law is law!!
Sarah Palin was pregnant with her fifth child. Each progressive pregnancy typically results in shorter labor. Fact is when membranes are ruptured or leaking labor would/could occur quickly and delivery could result quickly also. This can happen as soon as 15-30 minutes after membranes rupture and/or leak!! Risks for this to occur are extremely high.
For example – my second child – membranes were ruptured via medical procedure in hospital and I delivered 20 minutes later. Quite common!!!
How could she get by stating this fact?? No one challenged these facts she stated much. No new media challenged this fact??
I saw only one respected OB MD that challenged and stated he would not release for flying. He stated he would have advised her to immediately go to closest Emergency Room.
Many people state they were unaware she was pregnant. That can be true. Clothes do hide well. At seven months this is possible.
Rest of her story about flying when her amniotic fluid was positively leaking do not!!! Every woman that has already had four children should know in this day and age – this is highly dangerous and possibly life threatening for mother and child!! Every pregnant woman always receives the list of guidelines and rules.
Sarah Palin is Governor of Alaska. She is claimed to be intelligent and capable lady.
Sarah Palin explanations do not make any medical sense!! Physicians at work – all smiled and just shook heads!!
We will see no medical records for Sarah Palin.

Hey All of you who have said this nonsens like “please keep pressing Governor Palin for her medical records. It is absolutely essential that voters know the full medical conditions of the candidates they’re considering.”
If it is So DAMN essential that voters know the FULL MEDICAL CONDITIONS, then why are all of you not Screaming for Socialist Obama to release his! WHAT STUPID DOUBLE STANDARDS WE SEE FROM THIS BIMBO KATE SNOW AND MOST OF THE LIBERALS WHO READ THIS BIAS NETWORK NEWS! OBAMA PROVIDED A NOTE (ONE PAGE) FROM HIS DOCTOR WHO HAS NOT SEEN HIM IN 18 MONTHS!
Get over it!! Remember Obama keeps telling us the American people only want to hear about the economy and how he will give them welfare money!
Maybe we really do want to hear about issues such as his terrorist friends and his and Palins’s medical conditions!
This country has become a land of idiots!!

Obama, McCain and Biden all released their medical records early in the Primaries. Palin is naive. She had to know that the public would want to see her medical records, and find out about Bristol before she became VP or President. Did she really think, she didn’t have to show, or reveal these.

Posted by: Paula Lacey | November 1, 2008, 4:16 pm 4:16 pm

ANYTHING RELATED TO OBAMA = FREE PASS
Yup, that’s what clean living, notable public service and a sterling school and college record will get you. Proven abilities and reliable performance have a way of making petty considerations insignificant.
The lesson here is: Someone who can live and perform like Obama can gain trust and responsibility anywhere, no matter the color of their skin, or the place of their birth.
On the other hand, if you have been a grand screw-up all your life, drinking, bad school record, trading on gather’s name, bad service record, well, people will look for any reason to disqualify you from consideration, and after a certain amoount of time, you’re done.
That’s an important lesson in AMerican life, and it’s one I’m sure all you conservatives will impart to your kids.
Tell them “Kids, don’t grow up like John McCain. He had a high-ranking dad and grandad to get him out of trouble. You will have to get by on your own abilities, like Barack Obama.!”
Vwet important conservative lesson to teach your kids, folks.

Hey ABC
Maybe she will release her medical records as soon as BO releases his full records, his transcripts, his birth certificate. Find his drug dealer from Columbia and ask him if BO helped sell drugs. Have BO release his transcripts and explain how he financed school. Ask BO how come not a single professor or former college student has come forward, except the ones who are Marxist.

See, the point is that she has said she would release them, now she’s backing off it and doesn’t want to release it. Same thing when she said she would cooperated with the Troopergate investigation than changed her mind because she knew what was coming. Now she is not releasing the medical records because…duh, duh, duh…there’s something not so wonderful in it. Maybe, an abortion, maybe STD, maybe birth control use, maybe no record of a pregnancy, prenatal or postnatal care, or maybe she was treated form some injuries from a domestic violence situation. You know, Alaska does have the highest domestic rate in the nation per capita.

He IS running for President, after all. What about his aunt who he claims he didn’t knwo was in the US, even though she is specifically mentioned in his memoirs. Give me a break.

If your healthy, getting medical records is not hard to do…
She must be hiding something.
Either:
She had a mental disorder and or depression
She is not trigs mother
Or she had trig in Texas and does not want anyone to know that he is not a true Alaskan and doesn’t want to lose out on the big check from the oil companies.
No matter what.. if your healthy, its only a matter of days to get your records…
If your hiding something, then you just ignore the requests and hope everyone forgets about it.
Palin, is not open and transparent.. she is your typical corrupt politician.

Posted by: lmg | November 1, 2008, 4:31 pm 4:31 pm

Sen.Obama released one page and blood tests; that’s all a healthy 47 year old male probably has for a record (I didn’t have a medical record until I gave birth to my first child at age 32).

Palin can release a one page statement too, as long as it list her medical history, illnesses, treatment, etc. As long as a physician certifies it to be accurate and complete and signs it. But then again, not too many physicians are going to lie or omit something major, then he becomes the loser. Don’t think a physician is willing to put his license on the line here for her.

I think all of you Obamaphite pro abortion conspiracy theorists are very slanted to the far left. OMG, you man released a one page doctors note.

Every mamogram, pap, and OB visits would be smeared all over every leftwing web site (I mean I shudder to think what Huffington would print). It is none your friggin business. All you need to know is that she is healthy. Go ahead and publish all of your records for media evaluation. So until your man comes clean about his condition, shut up!

Her shape is to nice to have had a child late in life, unless she has had a tummy tuck and breast lift. Our muscles looses elasticity as we age. When you have a child at that age, your abdomin and breast turns to jello. Women who have children know this, others might not.

Obama didn’t release one page of his medical records. He released a statement from his doctor stating he was in good health and giving some details about his medical history. There’s nothing there to suggest a need to see his full medical records.
You could, of course, assume his doctor was lying. But then no doubt if he did release his medical records and they showed nothing you’d also assume they were holding something back, because, let’s face it, you’re just that kind of person.
Whereas Palin has released nothing whatsoever. People comparing her with Obama will have a point when she releases a statement from her doctor that summarizes her medical history. Until then, it is a valid concern that she’s released nothing.

Why ask for her medical records, which have nothing to do with her ability to be a Vice President, when Sen. Obama, who is running for President, has yet to produce any records to show what he was doing for approximately 20 years before he became a State Senator? I believe his background is just a tad more important than her medical records. His medical records were not much more than a Cliff Note. As to Kate Snow’s insinuations…she obviously does not understand the meaning of journalist integrity. She, along with other members of the news media, is attempting to make news, rather than just reporting what is actually happening. What a sorry group! Quite frankly, I am tired of having my intelligence questioned by the news media. I do not remember the news media taking such liberties with the truth, and making so many personal attacks on a candidate and his/her family, Before I vote for any candidate, especially a candidate for President, I want to know everything there is to know about his/her abilities, his/her background, his/her associations, what he/she thinks qualifies them for that office, will he/she be able to stand and swear, truthfully, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of American. If that information is not forthcoming with full disclosure, I am not going to vote for that candidate, because that candidate, obviously, has something to hide.

she’s hiding either an abortion, an STD or some other tainted medical stuff that would thwart election…she’s a loser….all the other candidates have submitted but she is hesitating????????????? Why sarah?????????Got something to hide that the vetting didnt know about or perhaps you didnt reveal?????I think so….

I know this would never happen but what if the American people boycotted the elections until all of Obama’s and Palin’s records were produced? I mean, it is the government OF THE PEOPLE! If that doesn’t work for you, WRITE LETTERS! And keep writing letters until both camps hear THE PEOPLE and answer the questions.

For everyone’s information Obama and Biden did release full medical records!!! Many of you must have missed this fact.
McCain and Palin are the only two htat have either
(1)Not released – Palin
(2)Released only for short medical review and then had to be returned to advisers – pages of medical records missing – McCain

Posted by: erod | November 1, 2008, 5:08 pm 5:08 pm

I don’t understand why they need to release their whole medical information…A one page resuming the situation is good enough for me. I don’t think we have the knowledge and ability to read a medical record..All we need to know, is that the person is healthy, and capable to act as the president. Don’t need to know if she is the mother of that baby, don’t need to know what kind of delivery she had…None of our business..

Posted by: Lawrence | November 1, 2008, 5:11 pm 5:11 pm

All of those here who think they know what is put in the candidates medical records obviously don’t know what they contain. Take a look at what is publicised in what the other candidates released – they do not go into the kind of detail every one is listing here….they are very general. Just like what was released by Obama. Once again the media (mostly ABC) making a big deal about Palin over nothing. I don’t blame Palin for not releasing them yet… they are probably having fun watching ABC’s reaction.

What Sarah Palin says and what Sarah Palin does are obviously two very different things. If she says she’s fine with releasing them, then release them. Isn’t this how she handled Troopergate recently? Cosmetic surgery or phych issues are certainly possibilities based on her appearance and personality. She’s already hinted their release could be damaging to her. What is she hiding? For those of you complaining about what you perceive as inadaquate medical information from Obama, where is your outrage about more that a dr.’s statement of general health about McCain? PTSD is a very very real possiblity for McCain, yet all we ever here about is melenoma and physical POW injuries…nothing about his mental health despite exhibiting signs of behavorial disorders. All the candidates should release full medical records, not just Palin and Obama. Also the Obama birth certificate slander has been factchecked and debunked many times.

I think they withheld the information hoping that the press would push the refusal, which would then ignite the Trig maternity rumors. Then they could use that to push back at the media once again. Very smart, I think, and I’m not for them. The media though only mentioned the lack of health records as a side note and then foiled the strategy.
I think she should release one page like Barack did, fair is fair. But right now BO’s one page ahead of Sarah.
And please people, get over it with the birth certificate. ANY state released, stamped birth certificate is a legal document, and Obama has produced his, AND its been verified.
If you dont want to vote for the guy, dont vote for him. Its sad that people want to turn an American running for President into an illegal alien, Muslim extremist, Jew hater. I know talk radio has been ramming this into your heads for 18 months beacuse I’ve listened to Hannity for a long time, but please do yourself a favor and look at other forms of information and make a well rounded decision.

Why is it that every time someone in the media questions a Republican more intently than Shawn Hannity does, that they’re accused of bias? Obama’s past has been dug into more than any candidate’s in history, especially the Republican attack machine. Since you can’t find any real issues, you cling to these idiotic stories and internet rumors.
Palin’s story about her fifth pregnancy is absolutely nuts. My wife had a similar issue and they couldn’t get her to the hospital fast enough. Something here doesn’t add up. See http://zfacts.com/p/1041.html.

Posted by: shockolit | November 1, 2008, 5:33 pm 5:33 pm

How did she fake a pregnancy? Well, she didn’t really. At seven months pregnant with a fifth child, she certainly would have been showing. Yet she told nobody that she was pregnant until that seventh month — not even her parents or her other children! Everyone was shocked when they heard!
A month later, while in Texas, her water broke. (NOTE: She’d have been about 36 weeks along here, which is the cut-off point for some airlines.) There is talk of a 4 a.m. phone call with the doctor in Alaska, presumably to discuss Sarah’s water having broken.
Be aware that this was a higher-risk pregnancy to begin with, considering Sarah’s age and the fact that she was carrying a special-needs baby.
Did she go to the hospital to get checked out? No. With pre-term labor evident, in a higher-risk pregnancy, she did not do this. (Some have tried to say that a woman who’s already had 4 babies knows her body — but most women will actually tell you that each pregnancy is different, and that time spent in labor decreases with deliveries subsequent to the first.)
What DID she do? She went to this convention, while having contractions, and gave a speech. Nobody seems to have noticed that she was 8 months pregnant.
OK, so, speech over, did she go to a hospital to get checked out?
No.
What DID she do?
She drove out to DFW Airport to board a plane for Seattle, where she connected to another flight to Anchorage.
A check on Orbitz.com shows this one-stop itinerary to take anywhere from 9.5 hours to over 12 hours. That doesn’t include wait time or travel to the airport.
OK, so she makes it to Anchorage. What does she do THEN?
Well, instead of going to a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (remember, she’s in labor pre-term, and the baby has Down Syndrome), she drives an hour to the small town where she has influence. And voila! Baby born.
Was the baby’s arrival listed on the hospital’s web site, along with all the other deliveries?
No.
Sarah Palin says her doctor was an “expert”. OK. So, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology — which are the experts who monitor pregnancies and deliver babies — is an OB/GYN. Was Sarah Palin’s expert — for this pre-term delivery in an already higher-risk pregnancy — an OB/GYN?
No.
Was the doctor listed on the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center directory a few days ago?
Yes.
Is she listed there now?
No.
Has anyone seen a copy of the birth certificate of Trig Palin?
Not that anyone knows.
Was Bristol Palin out of school for the five months previous to the birth of Trig Palin?
Yes.
Why was she out of school?
Supposedly for mono, which she quickly overcame immediately after the birth and became pregnant. (Again?)
WHERE IS THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

When was the last time anyone asked a Presidential candidate to produce a birth certificate? Never. On the other hand, candidates do typically release some kind of summary, but almost never “complete records”. In normal circumstances it would take her doctor less than an hour to come up with such a document, excluding sexually charged matters which might be embarrassing but irrelevant (std, abortion, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, birth details, etc). Just put together a statement listing any chronic illnesses, allergies, routine medications, the existence of recent normal screening tests. She and the campaign would be able to vet it in 10 minutes. The only reason I can see for her to keep stalling is a misguided obstinacy.

Why is Barack Obama always putting Joe Biden his running mate in an awkward position.
Barrack Obama stated that the reason he did not join the military service was that the United States was not at war at the time when he was eligible to serve and most people join.
Barack Obama knows that Joe Biden did not join the military service during the peak of the Vietnam War because of an asthma condition that was not diagnosed until his teenage years.
Joe Biden had horribly bad luck, ninety percent of all children are diagnosed with asthma before age six but Joe Biden was unlucky enough to be in the ten percent group of children who acquire asthma after age six and became asthmatic when he was a teenager.
Overcoming his bad luck and his asthma, Joe Biden was able to become a star highschool football wide receiver and also play highschool baseball. Joe Biden also went on to play college football three years with the University of Delaware.
After five student deferments while he attended college and law school, his teenage asthma finally came to the attention of his local Selective Service Board and he missed the opportunity to serve his country during the peak of the Vietnam War as an officer.
But for his bad luck with his teenage asthma diagnosis, Joe Biden could have gone in and served his country honorably as a officer and a gentleman and perhaps as a Judge Advocate Law Officer similar to his son.
Barack Obama should be kinder to his running mate and not emphasize that he did not serve because the country was not at war in contrast to Joe Biden who did not serve while the country was at war.
As President, John McCain who did serve and is a real warrior with wartime experience will make a better commander in chief than either Barack Obama or Joe Biden.
Vote John McCain!!!! Vote John McCain!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!

To all the low info ppl who keep saying Obama hasn’t released his med. records, go to the NYT article about ALL the candidates and their medical records. Obama, Biden, and to an extent, McCain have released info (and specifically, info to that paper). Palin refused to be interviewed for the article and refused to release any information. She’s definitely hiding something. My guess is a possible bout with post partum depression (hey, she’s got 5 kids!)

Posted by: Bethany | November 1, 2008, 5:54 pm 5:54 pm

NOW LET US BE LOGICAL ABOUT THIS . . .
(1.) If Sarah Palin’s medical history are squeaky clean or normal, she would not have a problem releasing her records. That is logical.
(2.) But if her medical records were to indicate she was a recent drug user, or having evidence of a previous abortion; than it would impact her credibility on the campaign trail for this election and her possible run in 2012.
Therefore logic dictates Sarah Palin has NOT released her medical records because she is trying to hide something that may impact her credibility. Sara Palin is NOT being forthright and honest. This further confirms Palin’s lack of integrity.
It makes since for Sarah Palin to NOT release her medicals before the election if she believes it will be all for naught if McSame loses.
Think People! Don’t be bamboozled by these con-artist into voting a third straight term of McBush policy failures. They are hiding an awful lot.
Also, don’t forget that she was just found GUILTY OF VIOLATING ALASKAN STATE ETHICS POLICY in the Troopergate scandal, that the McCain campaign tried to stall as long as possible.
Rest assured that if she doesn’t release her medical records before this Tuesday, as she had promised last week and after refusing to do so since McCain selected her, you will know that once again Palin is lying and attempting to cover something up!

What will America learn from Palin’s medical records… if they aren’t edited? An ABORTION? Maybe her yougest daughter really belongs to her teenage daughter? I’m quite sure she’s had at least one abortion.

Posted by: True_Knowledge | November 1, 2008, 5:57 pm 5:57 pm

Yo! David! Obama’s medical records were released to the public May 29 2008. Give it up, your rant is pin head material.

Posted by: Mike | November 1, 2008, 5:57 pm 5:57 pm

Uhm, maybe is against her “First Amendments rights” to disclose her medical record and have the press criticize her for something that may appear there. I can’t imagine why she is not releasing them unless there’s something to hide. This Palin look to me more dangerous day by day. First, she thinks that being able to see Russia from Alaska gives her foreign policy experience, then her interviews, then she violates ethics of abuse of power and does not recognize it, then recently the press ‘violates her First Amendment rights when they criticize her’. She looks like dictator material for me.

Posted by: Charles | November 1, 2008, 5:58 pm 5:58 pm

At this late date, it’s not likely to make much difference whether Sarah Palin’s medical info is released or not. People on BOTH sides have already made up their minds, as evidenced in the posts on this page! Thousands of Americans have already VOTED, and millions more have already decided. It’s too late to come clean now. With or without medical records, it is important to vote for the pair of candidates that best reflects YOUR convictions. VOTE America, like your life depends on it …. because it does!

Posted by: NV-Sparkle | November 1, 2008, 5:59 pm 5:59 pm

An ABORTION on her medical records would change everything FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. That’s why those records will not be made public.

Posted by: True_Knowledge | November 1, 2008, 6:00 pm 6:00 pm

1. She had an abortion?
2. She’s had cosmetic surgery and doesn’t want people to know.
3. She never had the test to determine that the baby (Trig) had Downs — thus there was no reason for her to “choose.”

Sarah Palin has something to hide, and it’s that the not so pregnant looking Bristol is the mother of Trig, and she’s been lying to all of us. That’s what the records would reveal.
Are we noticing that Bristol isn’t showing lately?

Well, another bad mark on her. By now, with the election only three days away, I doubtful she will ever release her medical records. This shows she is a lier, since she said she had no problems in regards to releasing her records, but after 11 days, it’s clear she does not want to release the records.

Posted by: Bob the Virginian | November 1, 2008, 6:05 pm 6:05 pm

Obama hasn’t released his complete records because he never said he would. If Mrs. Palin had not said she would release the report–some would wonder– but at least she wouldn’t look like she was breaking her word.The key here is to always do what you say you would. And, if you can not comply, then stand up and say “non of your business,” and let the chips fall where they may.

Posted by: jrc903 | November 1, 2008, 6:07 pm 6:07 pm

Even a one page synopsis of her records is not available because of what it would contain! She would not be able to defend the contents, therefore, we will not see it because it would say much about her and her state of mind. Mark my words, no one will get any report. We don’t care about the regular stuff, even if it is proven that she did not have a child six months ago, but the relevant stuff that would tell us much about her ability to govern.

Posted by: Karen | November 1, 2008, 6:08 pm 6:08 pm

She was never pregnant! That is her daughters baby. If she was to release records would a pregnancy show?

Posted by: David | November 1, 2008, 6:09 pm 6:09 pm

My prediction is this, they will be released at midnight on Monday/Tuesday. That way they can say they were released, but the people wont have enough time to go over them or people will have already voted before they know the real story.

Come on people, get a grip! Let’s be fair about this whole thing. Let Obama offer up his original birth certificate showing once and for all he was born in the U.S. at the same time Palin offers up her medical records with whatever may or may not be in them. Then we can get back to the issues and away from the conspiracy theories. Or does everyone enjoy wearing tin foil on their heads to keep the government satellites from reading your thoughts?

By Frank Schaeffer

Baltimore Sun
John McCain: If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as “not one of us,” I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence.
At a Sarah Palin rally, someone called out, “Kill him!” At one of your rallies, someone called out, “Terrorist!” Neither was answered or denounced by you or your running mate, as the crowd laughed and cheered. At your campaign event Wednesday in Bethlehem, Pa., the crowd was seething with hatred for the Democratic nominee – an attitude encouraged in speeches there by you, your running mate, your wife and the local Republican chairman.
Shame!
John McCain: In 2000, as a lifelong Republican, I worked to get you elected instead of George W. Bush. In return, you wrote an endorsement of one of my books about military service. You seemed to be a man who put principle ahead of mere political gain.
You have changed. You have a choice: Go down in history as a decent senator and an honorable military man with many successes, or go down in history as the latest abettor of right-wing extremist hate.
John McCain, you are no fool, and you understand the depths of hatred that surround the issue of race in this country. You also know that, post- 9/11, to call someone a friend of a terrorist is a very serious matter. You also know we are a bitterly divided country on many other issues. You know that, sadly, in America, violence is always just a moment away. You know that there are plenty of crazy people out there.
Stop! Think! Your rallies are beginning to look, sound, feel and smell like lynch mobs.
John McCain, you’re walking a perilous line. If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters when they scream out “Terrorist” or “Kill him,” history will hold you responsible for all that follows.
John McCain and Sarah Palin, you are playing with fire, and you know it. You are unleashing the monster of American hatred and prejudice, to the peril of all of us. You are doing this in wartime. You are doing this as our economy collapses. You are doing this in a country with a history of assassinations.
Change the atmosphere of your campaign. Talk about the issues at hand. Make your case. But stop stirring up the lunatic fringe of haters, or risk suffering the judgment of history and the loathing of the American people – forever.
We will hold you responsible.

Alaska has one of the nation’s highest rates of rape, of domestic violence, and of alcoholism. Palin also doesn’t believe in abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. My theories:
Palin’s an active alcoholic. Or Palin was a victim of domestic abuse. Or Palin was a victim of rape — and one of her children isn’t actually her husband’s.
Even if Palin loses, I’d be interested in seeing her medical records, and I hope that ABC pursues it.

Lets see a great and charismatic leader rises to power promising to ‘free the wealth of the rich and distribute it to the poor’ he takes over the country and it falls into abject poverty as not letting anyone but the government in your country be rich means EVERYONE will be poor.

All she has to do is to release the same thing that Obama did and she will be fine. Apparently, she is hiding something. her political career will be a footnote in history. She is a joke.

I’m not a fan of Governor Palin; however, I think this blog is full of hateful comments about her and her family. Stick to the issues. Medical records are private and there is no requirement for them to be released. There is no reason to mention her daughter’s pregnancy or assume that she has something to hide. Whether or not Bristol decides to marry Levi is her own business. She’s not running for in this campaign. This campaign has been full of terrible inuendos and accusations. Leave her family alone -so they can go back to Alaska in peace when Barack and Joe win this on Tuesday.

Have you ever considered that she could share some DNA with McPrickly-Something they want to keep under wraps.
It is in a remake of ChinaTown.Only going back to when McPlunger was in Alaska and in some off-site drilling expedition the derricks misfunctioned aand he could not officially accept pay for the spills. Imagine the uproar if he had to pay child support. Today he wants to make atonement and try to get her a job instead for years of not coming clean.There are those who know. And the falling out of the supposed mavericks is normal between Father and Daughter( Not on record though).
It is a long renuion And I feel people who are trashing her are mean spirited. SShe is not responsible for what she inherited from him. [ She: 5 or colleges in a few years. He: very near the bottom of a class of 765 plus students, that too in an academy, that does not place hat much emphasis on grey matter!] Now that you guessed. Please leave them be-It is a family matter.

Is Barack Obama blowing smoke or not?
Is Barack Obama a chain smoker or not?
If he is only a closet smoker and not transparent by smoking in public and admitting that he has a nicotine addiction then how can we trust him on other issues that are truly grave?
Does he smoke a lot of cigarettes only when he plays poker with his Chicago friends or is it a daily habit?
How can we trust him on health care if he is a smoker. Would not someone who really wants to hold down healthcare costs want to quit smoking.
We want to know if Barack Obama is going to promise to not chain smoke around Joe Biden because Joe Biden had asthma as a teenager.
We are worried about Joe Biden’s health in the event that Joe would have to step into the Presidency.
The reason that Joe Biden could not fight for his country in 1968 during the peak of the Vietnam War was that he had received a diagnosis of teenage asthma. We want to know if Barack Obama is going to promise to not chain smoke around Joe Biden.
Joe Biden had horribly bad luck, ninety percent of all children are diagnosed with asthma before age six but Joe Biden was unlucky enough to be in the ten percent group of children who acquire asthma after age six and became asthmatic when he was a teenager.
After five student deferments while he attended college and law school, his teenage asthma finally came to the attention of his local Selective Service Board and he missed the opportunity to serve his country during time of war as an officer.
But for his bad luck with his teenage asthma diagnosis, Joe Biden could have gone in and served his country honorably as a officer and a gentleman and perhaps as a Judge Advocate Law Officer similar to his son.
Most Americans would be concerned about Joe Bidens health if he had to step into the Presidency. We hope that Barack Obama will promise to not smoke in front of Joe Biden because the smoke could aggravate Joe’s asthma that prevented him from serving his country during time of war.

If someone has a health condition that impacts their current health, that should be made public

Posted by: Jim Macko | November 1, 2008, 6:47 pm 6:47 pm

Let me put this to rest right here and right now:
Below and attached is a letter from Senator Obama’s physician detailing a summary of his health records.
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

Why won’t you go to sinister explanations? Every single “qualification” this woman had has turned out to be padded or patently false. Bridge to Nowhwere-took the money…stood up to Republican corruption…ardent supporter of felon Senator Stevens–responsible for gas pipeline–has not been started–cooperative with state ethics investigation–refused to cooperate–no ethical problem handling Wooten case–found to have “unlawfully violated state ethics rules”, the list goes on and on.
But it’s sinister to wonder why a healthy 44 year-old candidate refuses to disclose any part of her medical records? We doubt everything about her because she has done NOTHING to inspire trust or even the benefit of a doubt.

jhw539: Excuse me, but I never stated a case for either candidate, just an argument that BOTH of the allegations from BOTH parties are likely to be completely erroneous and that if BOTH campaigns would release the documents asked for then we could all move on to more important issues. As for your statement that “There isn’t much case when Obama’s lawyers swing by with the birth certificate.” I believe to be partially correct according to the news reports. They released an official birth certificate which stated his U.S. citizenship is legit. What the Republicans are asking for is the original hospital birth certificate with the doctor’s signature etc. which to my knowledge has NOT been released. If they have been, I would very happy to have a link to the article or scan so I can post it elsewhere to help quell the attack. If you don’t have such a link, then in all fairness your slur towards me was unfounded.
I also stated that Palin should release her records as well. So maybe next time you shouldn’t go calling someone an idiot so quickly.

If her records contain no politically embarassing circumstances like any that have be mentioned above, she would release them for the political impact of proving the liberal media to be partisan, sinister and wrong. It would make her a martyr and play well just before the election. But she won’t, and every single contributer here knows why; political suicide. She won’t commit political suicide…and we won’t commit intellectual suicide by supporting any party that considers her to be qualified.

Very few states will release copies of original hospital birth certificates which originated prior to 1970 because they contain information which is no longer admissable … such as “legitimate/illigitimate”. This information was determined to be prejudicial, and can no longer be recorded on state documents. The Certification of Live Birth records is all most folks CAN obtain UNDER LAW. Obama has produced this document. It is time to move on.

Palin’s reluctance to come forth with her medical records sounds similar to her sudden reluctance to cooperate with the Troopergate investigation. Or, her earlier reluctance to talk more frequently to the press. There seems to be a trend of hide and seek with her. If you want to find out more about this trend, visit The Daily Source. The site has a special section of videos focused on Palin, everything from interviews and speeches to other media figures’ opinions of her.

I am voting for Senator Obama because if I vote for my candidate of choice, Dr. Ron Paul, we might see a repeat of the last election and end up with a warmongering, inarticulate, Republican warmongering President who never really had to live in my shoes as a member of the struggling middle-class.
I believe that the American People are slowly becoming wise enough to see through the blatant manipulation of election results by the mainstream media that is owned and controlled by big business and by the two reigning political parties.
I am confident that by the next Presidential election in 2012 that the majority of American Citizens will know about:
1) the beliefs and record of Dr. Ron Paul;
2) the weakness of our present two party system; and
3) the existence and party platforms of other alternatives such as Green, Constitution and Libertarian parties. I am confident that the REVOLUTION Dr. Ron Paul started against the big business controlled media and two reigning political parties will continue to benefit our nation for the greater good.
MY RATIONALE

I say – BRING IT ON! Our present health care system benefits big business and illegal aliens, not the American citizen or the American health care providers. I have lived without health insurance and I know from personal experience that the present system degrades the health of American Citizens on a daily basis. Once all Americans have health care – without the huge glut of illegal aliens – we can consider other options as Dr. Paul suggests. I see it as a possible evolution from where we are now to where we and Dr. Paul wants us to be.

I listened to the prank tape. That was a pathetic example of how presidential she is not. Someone is going to call her and claim to be Putin and trick her into pushing the button.

Why is there a demand for Governor Palin’s medical records?
Is there a genuine concern about her future health or just a desire to dig up potential dirt?
It is obvious to everyone that has twenty twenty vision that she is healthier than the other three candidates combined.
Sarah Palin has carried and delivered five children which indicates good health. If there were any serious health issues, her obstetrician would have terminated her recent pregnancy with Trig and it would not have gone to full term.
The internist report for Barack Obama notes past upper respiratory which is common in smokers and eventually leads to bronchitis and COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The odds of a heart attack or stroke for 47 year old Barack Obama with a pack a day smoking history over a thirty year period for a total smoking history of thirty pack years are just as great as the odds of a heart attack or stroke for John McCain over the next four years.
For nearly 66 year old Joe Biden who had teenage asthma and a brain aneurysm that had to be surgically repaired twenty years ago, the odds of a stroke or recurrence of a brain aneurysm are greater than any odds of a stroke for John McCain.
Sarah Palin is healthier and has a probable higher life expectancy than both Barack Obama and John McCain combined.
Vote John McCain!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!

I think you Palin haters are probably blaming her for something that she has nothing or maybe very little to do with. I think the RNC has control of her medical records and I think it’s probably the RNC that’s refusing to release them and not Sarah Palin herself. I think if it were her decision, she would have released them long ago! She would probably gladly release them to shut you up and to stop the sick demented rumors that you’re spreading!

I’m a dem voting Obama. But I think this situation is far less sinister than people are guessing. If it is something that “minor”, the Republican missed an opportunity where they could have been honest, shown she was smart enough to get treatment, and she would have won some people over to her judgment skills instead of fueling this fire. If it turns out to be something like that, I’d at least hope they learn.

liberati:Day 659 and still no full medical records
from Obama.
and still no: authentic birth certificate, Illinois
senate records, Columbia school records, law firm
client records, the list goes on.
That was done a long time ago, wake up!
Where is McCains medical records. Oh thats right
only certain people could see a portion of them,
no pictures, no recorders, no transcripts released.
How about an authentic birth certificate from
McCain?. Oh thats right, they can’t find the
parchment scroll. Didn’t they use it in making the
panama canal? After all, he was born at that time.
**********************
liberati:Columbia school records?
We don’t want to see McCain OR Palins College
transcripts, We wouldn’t want to embarrassed them
that much.
liberati: law firm client records?
How about McCains beer distribution clients, we
might as well throw that one in too. Do you want
to go further? We have until monday night.
*************************
liberati: And Kate Snow, what kind of ROTTEN thing
are you trying to start with “there are more sinister
explanations”….what in the heck are you trying to
do? And you call yourself a journalist?
If Palin gave the silly records in a decent amount of
time there wouldn’t be silly innuendoes.
Is there any doubt why several surveys have
showed that ABC news is far biased toward Obama?
Don’t tell me the source is FOX. Not surprised

Speculation on this page about the items Sarah Palin MIGHT be trying to hide is counter-productive, folks. It is no different than the wild, unsupported claims the Right has made against Barack Obama. Don’t stoop to their level, please. Rovian tactics are unacceptable on EITHER side of the aisle! Let’s ALL stick to FACTS about what each candidate offers for the future, and leave the unproven allegations alone. For those who, like me, have already voted … thank you. For the rest of you, remember to vote your conscience according to the FACTS on November 4th! And may the best man win ….. whoever you believe that to be!

Posted by: NV-Sparkle | November 1, 2008, 7:26 pm 7:26 pm

No question the woman who so deceptively proclaims that her life is an open book is hiding something. Likely to do with her baby. Thought it was odd that she threw that comment in about having had 5 children. I think she protested just a little too much! The fact that she’s running for VP is DEFINITELY an open book….a COMIC book. Too bad it’s at the country’s expense. How offensive to all us women that McCain thought he could get the women’s vote with his token beauty queen choice, especially after someone who truly could have handled the even bigger job, Hillary, made us all proud. It’s ironic that some people think she’s moving women’s positions forward when, in fact, she simply pulls all the old tricks….batting her eyes and winking at us! Uhhhhh.

Posted by: lisa | November 1, 2008, 7:27 pm 7:27 pm

Obama has had the only tests he needs as an otherwise healthy man in his 40s. He is getting basic preventive medical care that every person in their 40s should be getting. Without any specific complaints that would require further testing, there wouldn’t be anything else there except what was in the letter.
As for Palin’s records, she should have annual exams, records of her deliveries, as well as basic preventive medical care (i.e. cholesterol checks). This info wouldn’t be that hard to obtain and release, unless…….

Posted by: tecMD | November 1, 2008, 7:27 pm 7:27 pm

carlyonsue,
And why would the RNC NOT release Palin’s records when it had no objections in releasing John and Cindy McCain’s records? The question is not who should release it, but why isn’t it being released.

Posted by: mary in the heartland | November 1, 2008, 7:36 pm 7:36 pm

Sarah Palin is an uneducated, immoral, two-faced hypocrite! She calls herself a Christian with moral values yet she is guilty of pre-marital sex which caused her to run off and elope with Todd because she got pregnant. Now, her daughter is following in her footsteps. Like mother like daughter. Her anti-abortion stance makes me sick and I hate how the right wing nuts are quick to say that Obama is pro-abortion. NO!!! He and those with intelligence are NOT pro-abortion. We are pro-CHOICE! Big difference. Another example of hypocrisy. One minute yelling less government then in the next wanting more government to interfere in our lives. She was able to choose to have her down syndrome baby. What if government told her she had to have an abortion. People would be outraged. Well, the reverse should apply too. Let me choose what to do with my body and my life. In fact, if I was a fetus in the womb of a crack cocaine low life, I would be yelling… “Abort me, please!” … and I bet many would agree with me. The other thing that is so hypocritical is how can they be pro-life yet pro-death penalty? Again, hypocritical! Also, how can she be so cold-blooded to God’s creatures in Alaska? It sickens me to think of her shooting and killing wolves from the air and all the other horrible things she has allowed in Alaska. The people of Alaska need to impeach her! She is one unlikable woman. She will never be president of our great nation. She’s been a joke. I can’t stand to see her or hear that annoying voice. She is NO Hillary Clinton. Please slink back to Alaska. Since they voted her in, they deserve her!!!

Posted by: seenitallx9 | November 1, 2008, 7:43 pm 7:43 pm

Troy: “They released an official birth certificate which stated his U.S. citizenship is legit. What the Republicans are asking for is the original hospital birth certificate with the doctor’s signature etc. which to my knowledge has NOT been released.”
The “original hospital birth certificate” is a fabrication. They are asking for the doctor’s notes from the day of his birth. This is absurd and may not actually be attainable. Neither of my parents could provide such documentation – the hospitals do not exist and the records are not kept by the state. I could not provide such a record for my daughter; there is no such thing as an “original birth certificate” in New York state.
You are repeating an absurd allegation. I apologize if that happens to make you look like a fool too.

Posted by: jhw539 | November 1, 2008, 7:43 pm 7:43 pm

I think it was a post from someone name David a whole bunch down that said there are pictures of Palin heavily pregnant. referring to her most recent “preg’ with baby Trig. Can you prove that? I’ve looked online and seen pictures and video from her”pregency” and she is ANYTHING BUT heavily pregnant. So please provide proof that she was pregnant.
Oh wait….that would be in the medical records we aren’t getting.
Makes you wonder if there is proof.
Besides her staff in Alaska had no clue she was with child. And how can any sane, sensible woman explain continuing a conference in Texas and an 11 hour plane flight when your water broke then back at work less then a week later when you have a special needs child.
And if she was vetted the way she should have been. The staff would already have her medical records together and ready to be released. You would hope that McCain and his staff had gotten her medical records before selecting her.
Kate Snow please continue calling and asking. This needs to come to the Nation’s attention.

Posted by: cbh | November 1, 2008, 7:43 pm 7:43 pm

It is more than a little bit interesting that a women who professes that the government should have jurisdiction of the insides of a women’s body is not jumping to provide her medical records. Why allow all this vulgar speculation? It’s gotta be something REALLY bad. Worse than this stuff in here.

Posted by: makes you wonder | November 1, 2008, 7:45 pm 7:45 pm

With McCain’s 3 stage melanoma and having had cancer 4 times….yep, I’d say it’s important to get the records. Maybe you feel comfortable with Sarah dealing with the fall of democracy and being a socialist right along with Bush and Cheny. Get used to the soup lines….cuz that’s where you are headed. We need the medical records.

Denise,
Exactly the point. No amount of document by Obama or on his behalf will be acceptable to you. But has it occurred to you that by questioning Obama’s citizenship, you are also questioning John McCain’s judgment for accepting the candidacy of Obama’s as a citizen of the USA? The silly season is really in full swing indeed. Thanks God that at least 50% of us have some common sense.

Posted by: Harerta Tesfa | November 1, 2008, 7:48 pm 7:48 pm

One might think that our forefathers put an age clause into the requirements of the qualifications for the Presidency in the hopes that with age comes wisdom. Clearly, with all the juvenile mudslinging I’ve seen here today, the average age of intelligence in this country, especially concerning this election, is probably about 12-15. Do you remember all the rumors and innuendo that swirled around jr high and high school?
My point is not to challenge the competency or incompetency of any of these candidates, nor to endorse or expose them to any further discrediting based on nothing more than the suspicions of an uninformed public.
I would rather that each of you look so scathingly at yourselves and the things that you have done in your lives and ask if you are fit to represent this Nation. Would you like for yourself to be the one measure of a true, honest, and patriotic American? Are you all so far beyond reproach that you have never told a lie or done something that you might be ashamed of? I too believe in honesty and truth, but I’m not so delusional as to think that there is any one person in this world that could truly testify to such a thing, swearing upon a bible, and not risking being struck down by lightning for the untruths known only to themselves. Which of you is so perfect that you are fit to live in a glass house, transparent to the world? Please, by all means, step forward and cast the first stone.
Now, I challenge you… go find an ‘honest’ politician to represent our country as the leader every single American will demand for him/her to be.
It is not for any of us to judge, and yet, on election day, that is what we all will do. You are charged with the duty to cast your vote for the candidate who best represents your values and views. Remember, choose wisely. The vote you cast will tell the world exactly who you are, what you believe in, and expose every flawed piece of logic you have ever presented for the criticism of the hypocrites in this Nation.
Now, if we have established that you are perfect and above reproach, worthy of selecting the perfect candidate to represent your interests and this Nation, the only remaining question to ask is… who is there left for you to vote for?
I don’t think Jesus is running for office, and at last check, he was the last ‘proven’ perfect man. Oh yes, and he was crucified on the cross, subjected to public humiliation. By rights, every one of you posting today has made Sarah Palin a martyr, giving her something in common with the last known perfect man. Now THAT is an endorsement for greatness.
I, myself, would rather listen to someone with down to earth ideas, rather than someone proclaiming a need for ‘change’, without ever stating what that change should be, or how it will come about. Are you sure that you want the ‘change’ Obama is about to offer? Do you even know what he plans to do if he is elected? Has he stated anything in plain terms that you can identify with? Which of you out there can truly afford for him to tax the rich more, so that they in turn will raise the cost of living for the middle class and the poor? The rich already support the brunt of our income taxes and we are nowhere near supporting our National Debt. Given the state of the economy today, our next elected president will likely go down in history as the next biggest failure this nation has ever seen.
Some may like the Democratic promise to end the war in Iraq. How much will moving the theater to Afghanistan change our circumstances? In all actuality, if Sen. Obama is as intelligent as many of you claim he must be, if he has learned nothing more from American history that this, there will be one fact to stand alone in the salvation of our Nation. The only proven method to revitalizing the economy of this great nation, to unify and replenish her collective coffers, has been to enter into a World War. Is that what you will vote for?
Now, what was it we were fighting for?
I’ll be waiting for that person who lives in the glass house, transparent to the world, to first post their full medical history for the nation’s perusal, as well as the geneology of their entire family tree (complete with verifiable addresses and phone numbers), and then their reply to this post. If you would also be so kind as to provide a complete list of every embarrassing social situation that might be used against you in cross examination of what you have to say when you state your opinion, that would also be appreciated.
Thank you and have a nice day!
Oh, and don’t forget to vote! The fate of our nation and your children’s future depends on the choice you make today.

Posted by: A Lifelong Alaskan | November 1, 2008, 7:51 pm 7:51 pm

I don’t believe we really have a right to her entire medical history. If she DID have an abortion, or an STD or whatever thing she might consider an embarassment and not want be known I think she is entitled to her privacy. But a full physical work up and statement from a qualified physician stating that there is no medical issues, both physcial & emotional, that would impede her ability to serve is sufficient and should have been submitted by now.

Posted by: Christine | November 1, 2008, 7:51 pm 7:51 pm

Once and for all go to factcheck.org (a non-partisan site) and find out that his citizenship has been validated. Seriously, if there was an issue don’t you think Hillary would have found about? You just sound like a silly conspiracy whacko. The reason the press and the bloggers keep talking about issue with Palin is because they DO hold-up. her clothes (everyone else bought their own) her medical records (everyone else’s have been released) and she hasn’t even released a one pager, NOTHING!! And no lawyer can get their client list released, have you EVER heard of attorney-client privilege? You are allowed to keep you client roster private. Especially if you work for a firm. Your beef isn’t with Obama, it’s with the RNC and McCain. Keep it where it should be.

Hey Jeannie, Then why can’t Palin even get a doctor to release a simple note? Doesn’t that give you pause? You are questioning that Obama did that. I suspect you would question anything he did but at least he complied! The RNC, and the McCain-Palin Campaign said they would have something earlier last week and 11 days later…nothing. Seriously? What would anyone think? Even that one page note would be SOMETHING, but nope! But if the press said ANYTHING they would be being unfair to poor Sarah Palin…oh please!

We don’t care about the stinking medical records and we don’t care what Bill Ayers was doing when Barrack Hussein Obama was eight years old!
However, what we do most diligently care about is what Bill Ayer was in 1995 when he was helping Barrack Hussein Obama start his political career.
For this information I will use a copy and paste from Wikipedia on Bill Ayers. For anyone who would attempt to discredit this encyclopedia article, I would suggest that you take the time to study the references for the article. To deny the authenticity of this article would be in comparison of denying that the sun rises in the East.
“Bill Ayers and Barack Obama at one time lived in the same neighborhood in the city of Chicago, and both had worked on education reform in the state of Illinois. The two met “at a luncheon meeting about school reform.”[41] Obama was named to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Project Board of Directors to oversee the distribution of grants in Chicago. Later in 1995, Ayers hosted “a coffee” for “Mr. Obama’s first run for office.”[42] The two served on the board of a community anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 2000 and 2002, during which time the board met twelve times.[42] In April 2001, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate.[41] Since 2002, there has been little linking Obama and Ayers.[42] “
With this statement “Ayers hosted “a coffee” for “Mr. Obama’s first run for office.”[42] There can be absolutely no doubt that Bill Ayers gathered people together to help get Barrack Hussein Obama started off on his political career. Also with this statement “Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate” there is absolutely no doubt that Bill Ayers continued to support Barrack Hussein Obama once he obtained a political career.
Any person that has ANY form of reasoning and an IQ above ‘50’ knows that a person does not help someone start and support another persons political career unless the person they are helping has compatible and similar political beliefs.
We know that Bill Ayers had extreme radical political beliefs and was a ‘marxist’ communist in the late 60’s and 70’s, but what about in 1995 while he was helping Barrack Hussein Obama start his political career.
Once again we will use a copy and paste of the Wikipedia article to obtain this information.
“In an interview published in 1995, Ayers characterized his political beliefs at that time and in the 1960s and 1970s: “I am a radical, Leftist, small ‘c’ communist … [Laughs] Maybe I’m the last communist who is willing to admit it. [Laughs] We have always been small ‘c’ communists in the sense that we were never in the Communist party and never Stalinists. The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don’t like Lenin as much as the early Marx. I also like Henry David Thoreau, Mother Jones and Jane Addams [...]“[33]”
There is absolutely no doubt that Bill Ayers was still a Radical Marxist Communist in 1995 while he was helping Barrack Hussein Obama start his political career.
Now that you know what Barrack Hussein Obama REALLY is the medical records mean nothing. Every vote for Barrack Hussein Obama is a vote against a free America. That is plain and simple enough for even a Democrat to understand!

Come on folks.. for those of you who cannot figure out what is going on here…
her medical records will show that she is NOT the mother of TRIG and her DAUGHTER is. Her medical records will show an eerie absence of ANY kind of medical history regarding her latest pregnancy… then she will be proven a liar… AGAIN.
DUH!
Why can’t y’all figure it out?
Problem is… I bet she can’t get any doctor to falsify her medical records.

Posted by: TruthAboutPalin | November 1, 2008, 8:04 pm 8:04 pm

She knows it’s over this time around and doesn’t want any revelations to disrupt her chances in 2012. You can be certain there won’t be any medical release before this election and maybe none in 2012.

Posted by: dan | November 1, 2008, 8:06 pm 8:06 pm

John Sorg, Then she should have said no weeks ago! The issue is they have said they would be released and they haven’t been. Surely even you can see how that would create drama. Once again a unnecessary Palin blunder. So don’t make this Democrat vs. Republican. She, and the McCain camp said they were coming…no big deal. When they don’t come, it’s a big deal.

Posted by: Leslie | November 1, 2008, 8:07 pm 8:07 pm

Obama’s idea of releasing medical records was to produce a letter from his doctor. Biden, with his history of two brain aneurysms, hasn’t had a brain scan. Perhaps because it might reveal he doesn’t have one. McCain released detail medical records. Why all the kerfuffle about Sarah Palin? As for all the adult children living in their parent’s basement who are posting here that Palin might have had an abortion and wants to keep that a secret, you must be males. Any woman could tell you that an OB/GYN exam isn’t going to reveal that in a woman who has given birth to five children. Honestly, you are pathetic.

Posted by: Joanne600 | November 1, 2008, 8:08 pm 8:08 pm

This is an info that she can never release before the election day, otherwise, she will be the blame of the lose.

A lifelong Alaskan,
Thanks for the sermon and for your objective “unbiased” views of the current state of affairs. And yes I have personally already voted For Obama/Biden and No on Pro 8 because I believe two serious highly EDUCATED individuals have a better chance of keeping their promises (yes for changing-change- the direction of our country0 , than an frighteningly “uncurious” ultra-reactions and aging man who was 5th from the bottom of his graduating class….and did I also say a man who has run the most dishonorable campaign of my lifetime-one that thrived in bringing out what divides us as people instead of unearthing what unites us. YES I voted for change and HOPE! Moreover, I have confidence the majority of Americans are wise and will repeal the Republican ticket for its unholy tactics/strategies as well as for what it represents-the continuation of the failed obscenely unregulated governance we witnessed the past 8 years.

Posted by: Harerta Tesfa | November 1, 2008, 8:09 pm 8:09 pm

HClinton: “All Barry needs to do is to release the information from HI. ”
Why hasn’t McCain released his birth certificate – even the certified copy that Obama has made public? What is he trying to hide? Why won’t he release his military service records? Did he kill Americans in a friendly fire accident? If he didn’t, why won’t he release these records? Is McCain trying to hide that in a drunken stupor he accidentally bombed a preschool and it was covered up by his Admiral father? All he has to do is release his military records, but he won’t. Obviously, this proves he killed an entire preschool of kids. He was also a KGB agent – it says in his military records and the mere fact he refuses to release them proves it!

Posted by: jhw539 | November 1, 2008, 8:12 pm 8:12 pm

HClinton – - – Last time I checked, Hawaii was the 50th of the United States of America. The state was admitted to the union PRIOR to Obama’s birth there. That would make him a citizen of the United States. What part of this is so hard for you folks to follow? John McCain was born in PANAMA! Does that make him inelegible to be President? Of course not! It’s time to get over this nonsense! Do you REALLY think that the DNC would have spent so much money on a candidate who they had not vetted to be eligible to hold office? Get REAL! This is a non-issue and you need to get over it! What non-issue would you like to move back to next?

I thought the Obama campaign wanted to talk about the economy. Yet all they talk about is Palin…and she is only the VP. If this doesn’t prove the messiah is not ready to govern this nation then nothing is.
Obama release a one page note from his doctor saying he is in good health. I think that is sufficient for him and for anyone campaigning, including Palin. While these people are running for office, their medical records from teh past are none of anyone’s business.
And this reporting is not “just doing her job”. She used innuendo to suggest there is a reason Palin is not releasing her records and we know what she is suggesting. She shold report the facts, not engage in rumor monguering.

Pretty obvious that she has had cosmetic surgery- probably breast implants or tummy tuck- and Palin/McCain don’t want the undue attention and focus on her vanity surgery. Simple as that. They will never release her full records. I doubt that they will even live up to their promise of last week. Quite frankly, they don’t care. Promises for them mean nothing. Political expediency means everything. They feel that they owe no one anything. They feel bigger than the process. Arrogance, arrogance, and more arrogance.

Palin is a big hypocrite. For her to call Obama a liar for not taking up public financing- which McCain himself tried to get out of- and then say she’d release her medical records and fail to do so with only 3 days to go… That in myself seems sketchy. I mean what does she have to hide. A missing toe?

Posted by: M | November 1, 2008, 8:30 pm 8:30 pm

Obama & Biden released all their records & they’re still taking crap. Obama released his birth certificate which was actually touched by members of the press & he’s still got people on him. Palin’s been the most secretive VP candidate I’ve ever seen. We have a right to know we’re hirin’ a healthy player. We don’t need to find out a couple weeks after the draft that we got suckered w/ damaged goods. Simple as that…

Some people are just really ignorant. Obama, first of all is an American citizen so stop blowing the lie about him not having a valid birth certificate out of the water- It’s old news. The media have already seen it and in some cases held it. So get over yourselves. Besides don’t any of you think- Well, a rational person would have understood that there was anything funky going on with his citizenship the media would have picked up on it and his candidacy as Pres. would be over? I mean this man has been running for 2 whole years. If the story about him not being a legal citizen had any truth to it they would have snuffed him out way back in the primaries.

Posted by: Badger | November 1, 2008, 8:42 pm 8:42 pm

Hey Kate,
Here is a news flash for that lightening fast, jounalistic brain of yours. Obama never released his medical records, either. He had a doctor write him a note. Obama has also never released any of his transcripts from this college days. It would indeed be interesting to see all of those stellar grades as I am sure he got into both Columbia and Haaarrrvaaard on a competitive basis. You might also ask Obama to release all of his scholarly writings since college but I believe there are only three pieces. One was a poem about an ape who squished figs with his feet and then ate the figs. The fact that ‘ol William Ayers wrote the book, “Dreams of My Father” just might short circuit your neurons so don’t dwell on that too long.
Concerning things that won’t be released, could someone please explain why Obama has taken the time and effort to post a Certificate of Live Birth on his website and represent it as a Birth Certificate, when it is not. And, why would Obama dispatch his lawyers to have the lawsuit by William Berg, who filed suit to force Obama to produce his lawsuit, dismissed? Then a week or so ago Obama made a trip to Hawaii to visit his ailing grandmother. That is fine except that there is no comment at all by Obama about his grandmother. He must have been too busy fixing this Birth Certificate “issue.” Sure a lot of time and money when it would just take a couple of minutes to release the real deal.

Posted by: Richard, Dubuque | November 1, 2008, 8:43 pm 8:43 pm

McCain supporters BEWARE of paid Obama bloggers clogging up the board with negativity, lies, and spin in an effort discourage McCain Palin supporters from voting. Obama and his hit squad are very worried by internal polling, and they are out in full force along with the Obama media trying to convince McCain supporters that this race is over. Make sure you vote, and let all of your family and friends know they must vote. This race is not near over. If anything it is getting tighter each day.

You people complaining about the delay on the medical records for Palin. Oh but Obama gets a pass. If he wins his tax plan will most likely look a bit different than what he is saying. None of you are going to like it.

Posted by: aforefreedom | November 1, 2008, 8:47 pm 8:47 pm

How did she fake a pregnancy? Well, she didn’t really. At seven months pregnant with a fifth child, she certainly would have been showing. Yet she told nobody that she was pregnant until that seventh month — not even her parents or her other children! Everyone was shocked when they heard which Palin announced on 3/5/2008!
A month later (4/16/08), while in Texas, her water broke. (NOTE: She’d have been about 36 weeks along here, which is the cut-off point for some airlines.) There is talk of a 4 a.m. phone call with the doctor in Alaska, presumably to discuss Sarah’s water having broken.
Be aware that this was a higher-risk pregnancy to begin with, considering Sarah’s age and the fact that she was carrying a special-needs baby.
Did she go to the hospital to get checked out? No. With pre-term labor evident, in a higher-risk pregnancy, she did not do this. (Some have tried to say that a woman who’s already had 4 babies knows her body — but most women will actually tell you that each pregnancy is different, and that time spent in labor decreases with deliveries subsequent to the first.)
What DID she do? She went to this convention, while having contractions, and gave a speech. Nobody seems to have noticed that she was 8 months pregnant.
OK, so, speech over, did she go to a hospital to get checked out?
No.
What DID she do?
She drove out to DFW Airport to board a plane for Seattle, where she connected to another flight to Anchorage.
A check on Orbitz.com shows this one-stop itinerary to take anywhere from 9.5 hours to over 12 hours. That doesn’t include wait time or travel to the airport.
OK, so she makes it to Anchorage. What does she do THEN?
Well, instead of going to a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (remember, she’s in labor pre-term, and the baby has Down Syndrome), she drives an hour to the small town of Palmer to Mat-Su Regional Hospital where she has influence. And voila! Baby born at 6:30 AM on 4/17/08 by long time friend, Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson (who also delivered 7 y/o Piper).
Was the baby’s arrival listed on the hospital’s web site, along with all the other deliveries?
No.
Sarah Palin says her doctor was an “expert”. OK. So, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology — which are the experts who monitor pregnancies and deliver babies — is an OB/GYN. Was Sarah Palin’s expert — for this pre-term delivery in an already higher-risk pregnancy — an OB/GYN?
No.
Was the doctor listed on the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center directory a few days ago?
Yes.
Is she listed there now?
No.
Has anyone seen a copy of the birth certificate of Trig Palin?
Not that anyone knows.
Was Bristol Palin out of school for the five months previous to the birth of Trig Palin? And was also living with Sarah’s sister at the same time?
Yes.
Why was she out of school?
Supposedly for mono, which she quickly overcame immediately after the birth and became pregnant. (Again?)
WHERE IS THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson: Long time friend of Sarah Palin. MAYOR Palin nominated Baldwin-Johnson for 2001 “Family Physician of the Year” award. Appointed by PalinMay 8th, 2007 Commissioner to Health Care Strategies Council.

601 comments…still: who cares about her medical records? the people who are going to vote for her would still vote for her. so she had an std, or an abortion or plastic surgery (alot of this stuff is pretty misogynistic, which ever side you are on.
it’s like a family member has an std or an abortion you love them and stay with them. that’s what her supporters will do.
i’m more concerned about the hate and racism at her “rallies” with the loving nods of the governor of Florida while the chants go on…”go home”, “Hussein”, “kill him.” the fact that she is not concerned about that nor are most of her supporters is much more concerning to me and disgusting to me than if she ever had an std. in other words i would respect a person who had an std and stood up and said “keep your hate out of my state” or “if you feel that way about my opponent i do not want your vote” much more than a die-hard, cruel, racist, bigoted vigin who passed on the plastic surgery any day.

She has somthing to hide. That’s why she’s not releasing the records. I doubt that she is the mother of the baby, Trig. I think one of the daughters is. The medical records will show that she has not had a baby in quite a few years. She should make the records public & stop all the gossip about her. Personally, I’m not voting for her & McCain. Can’t stand either of them….PERIOD!!

Posted by: illgottengains | November 1, 2008, 9:23 pm 9:23 pm

It seems like many many people are now thinking she really has a BAD secret to hide…..and she could help MCCain and herself by releasing these…..after all, she said she would….but lied. Maybe she realized exactly what was in those records and knew it would seal her fate…..but now everyone thinks there is something AWFUL in there…..HOWEVER, she still won’t release, so that seems to indicate that her fear of what is in there is BIGGER THAN ANY FEAR OF BAD MEDIA. IT MUST BE REALLY REALLY AWFUL, WHATEVER IT IS.

Posted by: SandyK | November 1, 2008, 9:29 pm 9:29 pm

Well, the REAL question is….WHAT WOULD BE THAT BAD ?? She herself said she would release the records…..but now NOT. So….what could be in there that would COST PALIN AND MCCAIN THE ELECTION? GUESSES? If all was well, she would have sent them out to show off and to be able to brag about it in the media….that is her style. BUT….NO. NO RECORDS…..DENIAL….HIDING….FEAR….WORRY…..WOW, WHAT IS THE HUGE SECRET?? WHAT IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO RELEASE ANY RECORDS/? WHAT TOTAL DEVASTATING DAMAGE IS IN THERE?
We might NEVER know….because IF she gets elected…..IF…..she will NEVER say then what this terrible thing was.

Posted by: sallievoter | November 1, 2008, 9:30 pm 9:30 pm

I wonder if the medical records are being kept secret because they’d show that the most recent baby isn’t actually Sarah’s, it’s Bristol’s. I have no idea, but why don’t they put the questions to rest by releasing the records?

Internet sources state an amneosintethis was performed due to her age during the last pregnancy…..the pro-life sector frowns upon this due to the chance of death to the fetus during the testing. Some of her travelling habits during her late term pregnancy were also advised against, but she took them any way (Plane ride from Alaska to Texas) I’m sure the GOP would rather these items not be released in light of the fact that she already has Troopergate, Bridge to knowwhere, & the Stevens affair to worry about. When Palin loses her bid for VP, she probably will not be reelected as Gov. in Alaska……….thet are fed up with her antics….The Ankorage Daily News backing Obama?…..what a slap in the face.

Posted by: Joe Plumber | November 1, 2008, 9:36 pm 9:36 pm

if she will NOT show records….please don’t vote for her. Because she is basically giving YOU, the voter, the middle finger, just like her child did at that rally. She is saying that YOU are NOT going to get the info, and that means SHE thinks you are stupid and that YOU will support her no matter what. She is LYING about something…..mental, physical…..what if she has mental issues? No big deal, many people do….but in a VP????? Is that what you want? and what if it is something FAR worse? some past issue that would INFURIATE THE DOTING SUPPORTERS OF HERS??? Well, if all is well, then there should be NO PROBLEM with the records…..
But we now realize….ALL IS NOT WELL. SHE IS HIDING AN AWFUL SECRET.

Posted by: sallievoter | November 1, 2008, 9:36 pm 9:36 pm

Initially this didn’t matter too much to me, but with the McCain campaign’s ceaseless attacks and lies, it’s fair game. Palin must release these records, or it appears she’s hiding something. Since she’s already been proven unethical, it’s very likely she is lying.

Or maybe the fact that I let weirdo African ministers pull witches out of my head makes people think I’m a little psychotic? Now all that stuff about Trig not bein’ my kid is just silly. Do I seem dumb enough to get my ideas from Desperate Housewives. If my medical records are released, you won’t see anything more exciting than an abortion, a lobotomy, and the fact that I gave Todd crabs.

Most often when folks go on about God and abortion as ardently as they do it is because there is something in their past. That is a known fact. They haven’t released her medical records because they don’t want the party’s future jepordized with any details from the past. Why else would she not be forth-coming.

Posted by: ReformNeeded | November 1, 2008, 9:53 pm 9:53 pm

Voters are NOT laughing this off like Palin supporters are……voters realize that there is a really bad stench to what is going on. LOOK AT ALL THE BLOGS TONIGHT…..everyone is talking about the SECRET…..and that will hurt Mccain on Tuesday. Palin is apparently really frightened…..and cannot release WHATEVER this terrible thing is…..so people are starting to guess ….and those guesses might be devastating to MCCAIN and his election. Once again, the mighty selfish and arrogant Palin is HURTING HER OWN TICKET WITH THIS DARK SECRET OF HERS. Look at the international media—even THOSE folks are guessing about the SECRET palin is hiding…but then again, it might not be rocket science…..WHAT WOULD PALIN’S RABID FANS DUMP HER OVER??? WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM SO MAD…THEY WOULD ABANDON HER? Her medical records could tell us, but she will NOT. EVER. She is telling YOU that YOU do not get to know because she thinks YOU ARE SO STUPID YOU WILL SUPPORT HER REGARDLESS OF HER LIES.
And some of you will…..however, most are saying today that they will NOT. Too much baggage for her, and too many mental or physical SECRETS.

Posted by: sallievoter | November 1, 2008, 9:53 pm 9:53 pm

Sarah Palin has my vote cemented. She’s perfectly qualified to take over from Cheney. She’s a world-class liar, knows how to abuse power, isn’t afraid to censor, and doesn’t bother with trivial details like the law or the constitution. She rightly points out that God wanted us to invade Iraq, and wants us to build more oil pipelines. She supports killing even more animals. She also takes a very firm stand against witchcraft, and hammered the Democrats on an issue we all care about – fruit fly research. I don’t see how anyone could not vote Sarah Palin.

Posted by: Badger | November 1, 2008, 9:53 pm 9:53 pm

McCain should provide records for:
suspected DUI
what info he gave to N. Vietnam.
Keating 5
Why he left his first wife.
What he really knew about wife number 2′s drug habit.
Why he supported Bush 90% of the time and campaigned for him in 2004.
Why he hired the very guys who swift boated him in 2000.

Posted by: Gus | November 1, 2008, 9:54 pm 9:54 pm

seenitallx9: You too? Ugh! Don’t you get it? I was being completely neutral. If both sides want documentation (i.e. medical & birth) then they should both be willing to give it up. Now I don’t know about Hawaii, but in my state I got both certificates (one from the hospital and one from the state). The one from the hospital has a lot more details in it including the doctor’s signature, how much I weighed, how long I was etc. This is obviously what they are asking for. Now whether or not the hospitals in Hawaii issue that type of certificate I do not know. Ask someone from Hawaii. I even posted that Hawaii administrators stated he was born there. The point is, if the hospitals in Hawaii do issue them, then why not release it? If they don’t, then get the hospital administrators to say they don’t so that those seeking it will have nothing to be able to ask for. Ask someone from Hawaii what they get!
As for Palin, I’m sure Trig is hers otherwise you would definitely have people stepping forward to refute her being pregnant with her. Why then she is withholding her records I do not know. She too should settle this argument by relinquishing her records or a summarized version by her doctor like the other candidates.
My goodness. These people are running for the two highest positions in the country. They’re asking us to place our lives in their hands and to trust them. That trust should work both ways for EACH and EVERY candidate, and therefore they should all be willing to release any record that has any bearing whatsoever as to their health, qualification for the job, and personal convictions.

Becuase the president must decide whether he or she should order to push a preemptive button of missiles with nuclear warheads for the worst case,
presidential or vice presidential must submit medical records at least one week before the election day. Otherwise, there is no time to prove her medical record by the lection day. She clearly misunderstnads the jobs of the president of USA are the smae as onees of Governor of Alaska. She is obviously not qualified as a vice president. If she cannot submit her medical record, we have to assume the worst case that she has a mental problem that could hinder her from judging right decisions as a president.
If he or she has a mental problem, they must withdraw from a presidential race right away.
She already admitted she has a big medical problem that she could not release. Palin must wake up! She acts in bad faith for all voters. She insults all voters.

Posted by: mattwonder33 | November 1, 2008, 9:58 pm 9:58 pm

O.K. those that attack Obama over his medical records, at least he released something which Palin has not what so ever.
Secondly she claims she has no problem releasing any type of information (records in full or a simple statement) about her health which still has not happen at all.
Thats the real argument here. First they basically said they would not release anything then she herself agreed to releasing something and has released nothing.
A simple statement from her doctor would have done fine in the beginning but now we want to know whats taking so long.
A simple one pager will not do now. There is obviously a reason this has dragged on so long and she has caused the “skepticism” which I agree is well-warranted .
Look McCain, Obama and Biden have all released something so what makes her so
different?
Somebody in this comment area mentioned Obama’s Birth Certificate not being released and I know someone else provided a link but I just need to say one thing.
DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPEAKING OR TYPING.
This is the major problem with some people. They think they know the facts based on ADS, chain emails, word of mouth, etc. but they never research it for themselves.
If you vote based on unverified and possibly false information without researching for facts first, and your person wins, don’t complain when they screw up.
Just the two cents I have left but hey I guess thats more money then our country currently has so I am thankful.

Posted by: Get Real | November 1, 2008, 9:59 pm 9:59 pm

The $150000 wardrobe already says who she is. She loves fame, money, and status. Spending $6000 to buy a bag for her girl says who she is. If we have this woman sit at a position that can give her authority to touch money, she will grab as much as she can. Just selling positions to people who lust for power and status. As how she can abuse her power as a governor to fire someone or esteem someone who help hide her secret. Do you want this kind of person in the position of VP?? This is the beginning of corruption. Do we have enough corruption?? Or you think it does not hurt to have one more!!!

Why the delay on Sarah Palin’s medical records? Here is my theory. They will find in Palin’s medical records that she was not pregnant for her youngest child. I believe that what she is passing off for her youngest child is actually her oldest daughters child. Now her daughter is pregnant once again.

Posted by: MKH | November 1, 2008, 10:04 pm 10:04 pm

Obviously Palin has something to hide, and has not been to forth coming on her medical records….She says she has nothing to hide yet, where are the medical records? Hmmmm could it be abortion? psych problems? Not really Trigs mother? Wheres the straight talk express on this one? I guess the same place it was with troopergate.

Posted by: Renegade Ray | November 1, 2008, 10:04 pm 10:04 pm

Palin could REALLY help Mccain here…she could put those records right out there and then give another hate speech at a rally about how great she is…she could taunt her opponents by showing her records….she could improve her chances for 2012 by just showing those records….she could PLEASE her base and her party by just showing those records…
BUT she cannot.
And there is definitely a reason why…mental? physical? UNABLE TO ASSUME OFFICE? SOME WEIRD PROBLEM? OR….maybe some past procedure that would really end it all for her? or some mental instability???? WHO KNOWS??? SHE AIN’T TELLIN, AND SHE SAYS YOU ARE TOO GULLIBLE AND STUPID TO DEMAND IT.
Palin REALLY thinks this will be yet another flip-the-bird to the people issue…..are you that gullible? will you support someone who might have some SECRET that is counter to YOUR BELIEF? SOME MEDICAL SECRET THAT WOULD SHOCK AND REPULSE YOU? YOU TRUST HER AFTER ALL THE ETHICS CRISIS SHE HAS HAD? A few will…but smart and intelligent people will say NO….the MEDICAL/PSYCH SECRETS COULD BE EXTREMELY CRITICAL FOR A VP…..WHY SO MUCH SECRECY?

Posted by: sallievoter | November 1, 2008, 10:05 pm 10:05 pm

What is it with the Obama haters that no matter wht the topic you have to turn it around? This is very simple, the other 3 candidates have submitted medical information, at least a doctors clearance. Palin said she would and she hasn’t. Don’t make this more than it is. Even you can see that she hasn’t kept her word and her lack of information in this arena looks very odd and suspicious. Period.
No response should have the name of ANY OTHER CANDIDATE with the possible exception of McCain who chose her. PERIOD.
IF she provides information (doubtful at this point) then you can make comparative statements, but until that time she is missing data, therefore leaving it open to interpretation.
It’s in her hands to clear it up. For those of you saying it’s a privacy issue. Not when you are running with a 72 year old running mate who is a 4 time cancer survivor.

Posted by: Leslie | November 1, 2008, 10:06 pm 10:06 pm

I’m really surprised this isn’t getting more attention in the media – if she has nothing to hide, why wouldn’t these records be released?? It seems perfectly acceptable to me to expect both the Presidential and Vice Predidential candidates to realese these records before an election.

If Barack Obama with all his questionable background should be elected to the office of President…he will have succeeded in not only putting America down the road to socialism but insuring the eventual destruction of the most powerful nation on earth that was built with the blood, sweat and tears of patriotic Americans like Sen. John McCain, who is the only candidate who DESERVES to be elected to the office. If the poor people who were killed (burned or jumped to their deaths) on 9/11 are looking down from heaven on America today, I am sure they are bewildered to witness the possible election of one who would meet gladly with ‘those’ who want more destruction to come to America. “The friend of my enemy is….. my enemy.” America deserves a man of honor, integrity and experience in government, Barack Obama is a no show for all of the those.

Posted by: few | November 1, 2008, 10:09 pm 10:09 pm

I find it HILARIOUS that misinformed people like “David” are not embarrassed to spread blatant lies. Obama Did release Medical records. He is a citizen w/ a birth certificate from HA. 1961(Hawaii became a state in 1959), BUT John McCain IS NOT a US citizen! HE was born in Central America and had to have Senate pass a bill so he could run. I am SOOOO sick of the only excuse you all have for ANYTHING Sarah Palin does or does not do, is that she isn’t the TOP of the ticket. Well…when you have a 72 yr old unwell running mate, you’re about as close as one gets.
Also, I would think that it’s better to release records even if they’re bad than let the speculation fly because oftentimes, it’s worse than the truth.
Please check your facts before you spew lies.

Kate…How about also some insistence on your part that Obama releases his birth certificate? This country will likely be run by a foreigner and the media is more worried about Palin’s wardrobe and medical records. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh and as for you idiot comment, well at least Obama and his supports know what the 1st amendment means and who it protects. Thats more than Palin knows. Just one example.

Sarah the wack job does not want the press to know she is on anti-depressants. These she takes to control her mild bipolar disorder exacerbated by her recent failures at moose hunting and pink taco licking. It all there: using people consciously and unconsciously ( McCain is the latest) to advance her narrow black and white (actually very white) views of the world. AS Lincoln Chaffee (R-RI) stated “cocky wacko”.

Kate, keep insisting she give up her medical records. It’s obvious she’s hiding something & the news would be very damaging to the GOP if it came out. Yayyyy! GO FOR IT, Kate! If she wants to be a public figure, then the public has a right to find out what she’s hiding….Here’s one. McCain left his car keys on the kitchen table but the problem was, he couldn’t remember which car they went to or what house the table was in….Ha! Ha! Ha!

There are so many ongoing investigations of Sarah Palin, that her medical records are for now just one more distraction. Check this site: Troopergate, plus now the issue of her improperly charging her daughters’ flights to the State for “unofficial” trips, then she went back in and had the trip records changed to say in retrospect the trips were really “official business.”
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2008/103008a.html
People, wake up! If elected, she’ll be 50% of the time back in Alaska being charged. Charges have also been filed against McCain’s officials for going to Alaska and intimidating witnesses.
This surely is not the “Change” we need but just more of the Bush/Cheney tricks.
Obama/Biden 2008! Good riddance Palin/McSame!

It never ceases to amaze me regarding the ignorance and reasons why they won’t voting for Barack Obama. I heard a woman claim she wouldn’t vote for him because, “He’s a Muzlum”. I know the spelling is wrong to stress the point of her Southern accent. She also stated, “He knows the Curan”. It’s ignorant statements and beliefs like this that elected George Bush at least one time. The first time, the election was stolen by a majority Republican Supreme Court. I guess a recent statistic stating more college graduates are voting for Obama, while those with no more than a high school education tend to be voting for McCain. Comments like that woman just reinforce the above mentioned statistic. My advice to some of you is get educated.

How many times does someone on this blog have to post the medical records and President Obama’s birth certificate, before it a non issue? Just wondering, I think there is atleast a hundred asking for it, and a few who provided it. Yet the ones that are asking for President Obamas records can’t produce Palins medical records.

Why is Palin stalling? What is she afraid that we’re going to find out for sure that she is not the mother of her “baby” but her daughter really is? Is she afraid that we might find out that she shot her self accidently while chasing down wolves? What is? What on earth is she waiting for? Enough already bring on the records!

MKH, that is EXACTLY what they are trying to do, to scare people into not voting for Obama, they as the RNC do, put fear into people and run with it. I will say this though, I do have a high regard for McCain when he did denounce that woman for stating that. That IMO is who McCain needs to be 24/7, an honorable one w/o the mud slinging.

Sarah should provide her medical records as soon as the Great One starts telling the truth about his illegal auntie and kicking the conservative journalists off his plane. In other words, Sarah isn’t going to have to provide her records anytime soon because Obama and his leftist illuminati lies never cease.

The $150000 wardrobe already says who she is. She loves fame, money, and status. Spending $6000 to buy a bag for her girl says who she is. If we have this woman sit at a position that can give her authority to touch money, she will grab as much as she can. Just selling positions to people who lust for power and status. As how she can abuse her power as a governor to fire someone or esteem someone who help hide her secret. Do you want this kind of person in the position of VP?? This is the beginning of corruption. Do we have enough corruption?? Or you think it does not hurt to have one more!!!
The worst is that if she sits at the VP position for four years, how much would she use tax payers money to fill up her expensive wardrobe, it cannot be only $150000. For four years, it will mount up to $1,000,000+

WHILE SARAH IS ASKING FOR TAPES, ASK HER TO CONFESS TO THE TROOPER GATE. ASK HER TO TELL YOU WHY SHE USED THE TAX PAYERS MONEY TO BUILD HER HOME. ASK HER WHY SHE LIED ABOUT GIVING BIRTH. ASK HER WHY SHE WOULD KEEP HER PREGNANCY A SECRET FROM HER FAMILY AND FROM HER EMPLOYEES. ASK HER WHY SHE PRAISES HER SON FOR BEING IN THE MILITARY, WHEN HE DID A CRIMINAL ACT AND THE MILITARY WAS IS ALTERNATIVE. ASK HER WHY SHE ALTER EXPENSE REPORTS. ASK HER WHY SHE ALTER HER TAX RETURNS. ASK HER WHY SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE EVENTUALLY PLANNING TO SEPARATE THE STATE OF ALASKA FROM THE USA. ASK HER ABOUT HER CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WITH TED STEVENS. ASK HER WHY HER DAUGHTERS ARE NEVER IN SCHOOL. ASK HER IF HER DAUGHTER IS PREGNANT BY A BLACK MAN THE 2ND TIME. AND PREGNANT BY A WHITE MAN THE 1ST TIME.

Why have we stopped being concerned over the release of any medical records on Sarah Palin? She said she has always been medically healthy — and that may be true. But just last week I heard that one of McCain’s campaign managers called her, to quote David Gergen of ac360, “A Wacko!” Could it be that Sarah Palin is physically health but not mentally healthy — and this is a way that a concerned McCain campaign manager “leaked” it to America that we better be ready for anything?

I checked out palinaspresident.com it’s pretty hilarious.
That prank phone call was pretty funny too. I’m surprised they didn’t vet the guy- Oh, but they didn’t vet Sarah either. They were talking about pornos, clainming some singer was the Secretary of State and president, and it was just awful.
The first thing I thought was “Really? Is she serious?” I don’t see how one can become a mayor and a governor and be so slow. Oh! Nevermind, we had Bush as president- for 2 terms!
I wonder what her I.Q. is. Anyway, must be why the G.O.P. base loves her so much. -Because most of them are ignorant, racists, narrowminded, and some so right even fascists- I guess I’d take socialism over that. I mean at least Cuba has free universal healthcare- not that I support communism or anything, but some of you people just have no idea what you are saying.

I think Trig is Sarah’s baby so I doubt that is the issue with the medical records. Obviously a woman’s medical history is going to be more delicate than a man’s – but then, she dealt herself into this thing. Guessing: birth control pills, abortion, depression, Cosmetic Surgery, Botox …

Any physician who would x-ray a patient without symptoms would not be providing the standard of care and would actually be exposing the patient to radiation that was not called for. Just because Obama is a smoker does NOT warrant an x-ray or any other imaging of his chest without symptoms.
As for Biden’s aneurysm, imaging may not be necessary if he is not symptomatic.
As for Palin not providing her records after she said she would, shows she’s just like the rest of the current administration, lie, deny, stall, and keep repeating until people get tired and move on.

So will you just stupidly vote for her anyway? Well, she thinks you will. She thinks you are not smart enough to figure out WHY SHE CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER EVER RELEASE THOSE RECORDS…..YOU MIGHT NOT EVER VOTE FOR HER IF YOU SAW THEM. MENTAL? PHYSICAL? WHICH ONE IS THE BIG TERRIBLE SECRET? She says YOU don’t get to know…YOU are not smart enough to question…..YOU will just follow like the other lemmings and vote for her…….maybe….or maybe YOU TOO will wonder WHAT IS SO HORRIBLE, EMBARRASSING, TERRIBLE, AWFUL IN THOSE RECORDS THAT WOULD TURN HER BASE AGAINST HER??????

It seems that we are poised to make history on all fronts this election. As the attacks against the wife of Senator Obama by the right wing media (FOX NEWS) and agents of the right wing of the Republican Party attack her for being in their minds, not patriotic enough for America, it seems that they are over looking extreme character flaws in the wife of the Republican Nominee. An examination of her history since her initial meeting and subsequent marriage to John McCain, is that of a adulteress who readily committed fornication with a married man, who then was part and parcel to the divorce and subsequent abandonment of his wife and family.She then by the early to mid 1990′s became involved with drugs to such a extent that she was stealing drugs to support her habit from a foundation she had founded to help people in need. When her drug habit was about to be exposed by a whistle blower her and her husband circled the wagons and spun the story about her drug use to avoid embarrasment to her husbands political life and career. I am very curious as to what else we are going to learn about Cindy McCain but what I have learned so far aside from being a heiress she cant hold a candle to a woman that has pulled herself up by her bootstraps and had a much harder life and managed to climb out of the ghettos of Chicago with out resorting to or becoming addicted to drugs or stealing to hide and support the habit like Cindy McCain.

Yes it would! I am a Christian who takes the Bible seriously. Obviously you do not. Your statement above infers that those who believe in the Bible should be voting for McCain and Palin not Obama. But wait, I thought Obama claimed to be a Christian, so wouldn’t that mean he believes in the Bible too? And if he believes in the Bible then you must think he is only qualified to be an elementary school clerk as well.
So if you’re against McCain/Palin & Obama/Biden (they all claim to be Christian) then who is it you’re supporting? :)

So Miss Mary, the ever searching journalist for truth and justice, look at how elevated the conversations are here to see how serious the subject really is.
Let’s move on to more important topics like just how far and wide “spreading the wealth” is going to go & how much of his OWN money Obama would like to lay out to solve issues of poverty and social injustice?
Judging from his half-brother and dear auntie probably NONE.

Palin could release her medical records and hide any condition she does not want people to know about. There is only one thing that she could not hide — that Trig is not her biological son. Nobody would be satisfied with the medical records if they did not answer this question.
This plus the fact that Bristol disappeared from school from January through April of 2008 points to the fact that Trig is Bristol’s son and not hers.
Also the fact that she threw Bristol under the bus rather than release Trig’s birth certificate makes it virtually certain that Trig is Bristol’s son and that is the reason they are not releasing the medical records.
Thank you ABC for following up on this important question. You are doing your job of keeping people informed.

Since the opposition likes to go off topic and throw in stuff about Obama that we have answered ad nauseam, I want to ask when they are going to answer the question about the antecedents of Joe the Plumber:
“Joe the Plumber (Joe Wurzelbacher) of Cincinnati, Ohio may be related to one Robert Wurzelbacher of Cincinnati, Ohio, who happens to be Charles Keating’s son-in-law. Robert Wurzelbacher was implicated in the Keating 5 scandal, and sentenced to 40 months in prison in 1993. Wurzelbacher is also a huge Republican donor.”
There are a number of Wurzelbachers in that area of Ohio today, but if you go back to about 1900, there seems to be just one family who had emigrated there. I cannot be sure that Joe is Robert’s son, which I have heard, but it is probably a safe bet that they are at least cousins. There were no other Wurzelbachers around back then.
Can you say “PLANT?”

Here’s some food for though M/P supporters.
McCain was born in Panama- that’s in Central America.He has had very close associations with the convicted felon Charles Keating who’s responsible for the Keating 5 incident- by the way taxpayers had to pay the 3.4 billion dollars he loss in order to clean up the mess John McCain didn’t have the gall to stop. JM has had connections to conviced felon G.Gordon Liddy who helped in the Watergate burglaries, who has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator’s campaigns — including $1,000 in 2008. He gave half a million dollars to Rashid Khalidi. By the way Bill Ayers gave 80, 000 dollars to the Khalidi, while Obama gave- guess what? None. I guess McCain has more in common with Ayers than he thought. Also, what about McCain’s associations with Pastor Hagee. Remember Hagee’s anti-catholocism views and calling Adolf Hitler a “hunter” whose Holocaust was part of a divine plan to drive Jews from Europe to Palestine? That was caught on video. And I can go on.
Like, for instance SP and that witch doctor, SP’s administration allowing rape victims to be charged for rape kits -in which she claims to have known nothing about, but I don’t believe it. After all she is such an extreme Pro-Life advocate. She’s been reported to have said she wouldn’t even consider allowing rape and incest victims or high-risk mothers an abortion if they chose to get one. So, why would I believe she didn’t know about rape victims getting charged for rape kits. Not to mention the ruling on Troopergate. And what makes this even more sad there is still so much more that can be said.

The rumors surrounding whether or not Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy and lied to her Alaskan constituents and the American people has gone viral. This question goes to the very core of who this woman is and must be answered or her political career will be over. PERIOD. There are now 3 websites devoted to this, not to mention countless bloggers demanding the actual records on the birth of this child who Palin has used as a prop to further her political career. Now the main stream media has joined the chorus.

Palin has no intention of releasing the SECRET to anyone…..it could be ANY of the things suggested here…..but it seems pretty certain that there is SOMETHING HIDEOUS AND SHATTERING IN HER RECORDS…..or else they would be right out there so she could brag about it at her klan rallies. But….NO RECORDS….SO MAYBE ALL OF THESE THEORIES ARE CORRECT…..interesting question earlier…..if they were true, would the radical base still vote for her? NO. NO WAY. So…..that seems to help answer many questions…NO RECORDS BECAUSE THE DREADED SECRET MEANS NO VOTES.
Palin…..help MCCAIN….show your records….NOW. If you can’t….well, we know why finally.

Please don’t bring religion into this. There are many many devoted Evangelical Christians support Obama openly in this election. It’s logical that GOP will want to support their candidate. But still many many long time GOP support Obama this time.

Normally, the Palin family’s private family matters should remain private, but when the lady uses her children as props on the campaign trail, claiming her family life is all sunshine and moonbeams and that’s why you should vote for her, there should be the ability to inquire further.
I am pro-choice, but I respect sincere people on the other side of the issue. However, you can’t go around claiming that you’re holier-than-everyone-else and that, because you spend thousands of dollars on skates and helmets, you’re a better parent then people who can’t or won’t.

As usual, Sarah Palin is hiding something.
IF she had her tubes tied, then it demonstrates one of her many lies. She does not believe in birth control, but her tubes are tied.
Yes, she’s hiding a lot.
She’s not qualified to do anything.
She needs to be impeached !

A friend of mine went on record within days of Palin’s addition to the rep ticket with the fact that Trig was not her’s. I thought it might be a little far fetched, but now I can understand why he said what he said. Being a mother of three I can tell you first hand, that there is no way that I would risk the health of my child by boarding a flight of 11 hours to give birth. Not to mention the fact that there is no way that a woman can, on her own, stop her labor, especially after have four other children. Usually your length of labor shortens and if she could have lasted all those hours, her other labors must have been days and days.
I have seen the pictures of her shortly before she was to have her fifth child and again, a women that is as trim as she is, would be huge especially if her body has given birth four other times. Maybe her first, possibly her second, she wouldn’t be very large. But your fifth, you are going to be showing far more than she was.
As a woman there are probably some things I wouldn’t want revealed about my medical history, but if you are about to potentially become the vice president or if a horrible thing occurs the president, you better be willing to show your records. If you aren’t willing to show them, then don’t accept the place on the ticket.

It’s troubling to think of possible reasons Govenor Palin would refuse to release her records. What could she have to hide? Of course, there is the possibility of a mental condition. Or may be , God forbid, she made a tragic mistake when she was younger and it would be devastating to her career if the procedure had been made public.
Really. NBC has asked repeatedly for the records and she keeps stalling. What other explanation could there be and why is the press ignoring the situation?

Posted by: Steve | November 1, 2008, 11:42 pm 11:42 pm

I’m sure Sarah Palin has nothing to hide b/c if she did, the way John McCain operates, he would have her tell her own story so she can control the spin that’s put on it. That’s the way he advised his wife, Cindy, when her drug addiction, stealing drugs and prescriptions story was about to break. He had her tell her own story first. This way she could control the spin. He moved expeditiously to make certain she would not be indicted.
McCain’s first wife, Carol, was not so fortunate. They swept her story under the rug…how she waited for John to return from being POW. She kept quiet about her accident and it’s crippling effects. But, John McCain could not handle the crippling effects. So he cheated on her with a drug addicted thief…and left a disable wife for the money and the beauty. So much for “in sickness and in health!”

Posted by: DeranMartez | November 1, 2008, 11:46 pm 11:46 pm

John McCain is really the one we need to see full medical records on. Of course that will never happen. But yes, Palin should release at least one page. I doubt that will happen either. For those who keep questioning Barack Obama’s citizenship, you might want to consider that we KNOW John McCain was born in Panama. Yes, he was born on a military base, which technically makes him a U.S. citizen, but he’s NOT a natural born citizen, which is a requirement for being president. Funny how all the self-righteous Republicans choose to overlook that little tidbit of information. Hypocrites.

Posted by: Jen P | November 1, 2008, 11:51 pm 11:51 pm

Sarah Palin’s birth story is utterly absurd, a tale of an implausible series of ridiculous choices. The 44 year old governor of Alaska did not get on an airplane, leaking amniotic fluid and having contractions, and take two separate four hour flights, risking having to lie down in the middle of the aisle, spread her legs, and push her baby out. It did not happen.
Once that is understood, then all the other oddities of this long strange trip start to line up one by one.
1. The fact that no one knew she was pregnant until seven months.
2. The fact that after giving a few wishy washy statements to the press in the first 3-4 days after the birth, her physician has steadfastly refused to give any statement to the press again. Ever.
3. The fact that details of her birth story have changed numerous times. Three days after the birth she told the Anchorage Daily News that you could not tell “by looking” that Trig had Down’s. In September, she told People a sweet little tale about how Willow spotted it in the hospital. Last spring she claimed she found out Trig had Down’s in December, whens he was four months pregnant. Recently, she has moved that back to thirteen weeks, which would have been the first week in November. Why?
4. The fact that NO pictures exist of the family at the time of the birth. Wouldn’t you think you’d want a picture of the three girls, with mom and their new brother? Guess not.
There’s more. A lot more. Why has it not dawned on more people just how ludicrous it is that when faced with questions about Sarah Palin’s giving birth to Trig in April, the McCain campaign told us that Bristol is pregnant now?
(The same Bristol who has barely been seen in two months.)
Every American should consider writing to the RNC and making it clear that no medical records = no vote for McCain. If they get a couple hundred thousand letters like this, they’ll notice.

“WHat is Obama hiding?(Besides his illegal aunt living in a Boston housing complex)
HONOLULU, Hawaii – “Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama’s birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii’s Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate’s birth certificate under seal and instructed the state’s Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances”.

This story is about Palin…not Obama, Biden or McCain but I notice how many are bringing them up. All three of them have given out information.
And for the dumb a$$ who is still talking about Obama’s birth certificate…get a life! That BS has been debunked so many times it is ridiculous! If that is all you have you are a sad, pathetic person!
We don’t need to see Palin’s medical records because in 3 days she can go back to Alaska where she belongs!

I’m not surprised she said she was willing to release her medical records, and then never did. She also said, “Ivestigate me! Hold me accountable.” in regards to the “Troopergate” ethics violation scandal. But that was before she was tapped for VP. Then suddenly she decided that the investigation, which was started by Republicans in her own state, was just a witch hunt by Democrats. Please. Even after being found GUILTY of abusing her power, she flat-out lies and says she was cleared! Ted Stevens was convicted a few days ago and HE too has the nerve to say he wasn’t convicted of anything. Typical Rovian/Republican tactics. Just keep lying and smiling and hope everybody starts to believe you.

Posted by: Jen P. | November 2, 2008, 12:00 am 12:00 am

How did she fake a pregnancy? Well, she didn’t really. At seven months pregnant with a fifth child, she certainly would have been showing. Yet she told nobody that she was pregnant until that seventh month — not even her parents or her other children! Everyone was shocked when they heard which Palin announced on 3/5/2008!
A month later (4/16/08), while in Texas, her water broke. (NOTE: She’d have been about 36 weeks along here, which is the cut-off point for some airlines.) There is talk of a 4 a.m. phone call with the doctor in Alaska, presumably to discuss Sarah’s water having broken.
Be aware that this was a higher-risk pregnancy to begin with, considering Sarah’s age and the fact that she was carrying a special-needs baby.
Did she go to the hospital to get checked out?
No.
With pre-term labor evident, in a higher-risk pregnancy, she did not do this. (Some have tried to say that a woman who’s already had 4 babies knows her body — but most women will actually tell you that each pregnancy is different, and that time spent in labor decreases with deliveries subsequent to the first.)
What DID she do?
She went to this convention, while having contractions, and gave a speech. Nobody seems to have noticed that she was 8 months pregnant.
OK, so, speech over, did she go to a hospital to get checked out?
No.
What DID she do?
She drove out to DFW Airport to board a plane for Seattle, where she connected to another flight to Anchorage.
A check on Orbitz.com shows this one-stop itinerary to take anywhere from 9.5 hours to over 12 hours. That doesn’t include wait time or travel to the airport.
OK, so she makes it to Anchorage. What does she do THEN?
Well, instead of going to a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (remember, she’s in labor pre-term, and the baby has Down Syndrome), she drives an hour to the small town of Palmer to Mat-Su Regional Hospital where she has influence. And voila! Baby born at 6:30 AM on 4/17/08 by long time friend, Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson (who also delivered 7 y/o Piper).
Was the baby’s arrival listed on the hospital’s web site, along with all the other deliveries?
No.
Sarah Palin says her doctor was an “expert”. OK. So, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology — which are the experts who monitor pregnancies and deliver babies — is an OB/GYN. Was Sarah Palin’s expert — for this pre-term delivery in an already higher-risk pregnancy — an OB/GYN?
No.
Was the doctor listed on the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center directory a few days ago?
Yes.
Is she listed there now?
No.
Has anyone seen a copy of the birth certificate of Trig Palin?
Not that anyone knows.
Was Bristol Palin out of school for the five months previous to the birth of Trig Palin? And was also living with Sarah’s sister at the same time?
Yes.
Why was she out of school?
Supposedly for mono, which she quickly overcame immediately after the birth and became pregnant. (Again?)
WHERE IS THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson: Long time friend of Sarah Palin. MAYOR Palin nominated Baldwin-Johnson for 2001 “Family Physician of the Year” award. Appointed to Palin’s addministration, by Palin, May 8th, 2007 Commissioner to Health Care Strategies Council.

Posted by: MsRotten | November 2, 2008, 12:07 am 12:07 am

It’s impossible to guess why Obama hasn’t just done the right thing and request the official vault copy of his birth certificate to stop all this talk. Of course their is the possibility that he is lying about something. Really we have asked the media repeatedly to look into this. What other explanation could there be and why is the media ignoring this? Every Democrat should write to Obama and tell him no birth certificate=no vote for Obama.

Posted by: amazed801 | November 2, 2008, 12:12 am 12:12 am

Yeah, McCain has psychotic behaviors from his POW camp cell days of over 5 years in a small tiny room. That would drive anyone crazy and have to take antidepressants. Palin can’t find anyone who will sign off on her fraudulant medical records. It’s against the law, and a federal offense to change anyone’s medical records, and jail time for at least 5 years in a tiny jail cell. Who want’s to lose their medical license. She can’t abuse her powers here.

I find it so appalling that so many McCain/Palin supporters canNOT deal with negative facts about their candidates without trying to shift attention to Obama.

Osama BinLaden terrorist leader, was within this Country planning another previous Attack again after
Destroying the parking Garage beneath, the World Trade Centers Building, with horrible carnage, mass
destruction, and injuring others. Today 2008, We all, still suffer the effects of the attacks on the world
trade centers. Another reason why the Economy, Wall Street, every towns Main Street, is still effected.
He was impeached, on SEVEN COUNTS OF IMPEACHMENT! Disrespectful, lying, felony, Womanizer,
Clown. But, was not removed from office. Shame. Even Joe Biden voted for impeachment.
Honorable Joe Lieberman, did the Right thing! Voted for Clintons Impeachment! He didn’t leave the
Democrat party. The party left Him. He voted Bipartisan. The honorable thing.
B. Clinton, should have been removed form Office, and not portrayed as a Hero. He pardoned over 200
criminals including drug dealers, in his last days of presidency. What a shame. What a sham.
Voting for “Barrack Hussein Obama” Will Bring and almost Guarantees more of the Same.
The Alleged A.C.O.R.N. group is under Investigation. They promote Voter fraud, the immediate Media
is a cover up of the Democrat Cheat to win. Their agenda is get all Democrats elected any way, any how!
If Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, would like to keep and protect an accurate Election.
With no Improper Election fraud. Within our State, The right and proper thing to do is.
Insure that all eligible voters when handed a ballot, even an absentee ballot, to apply their legal social security number attached written on the ballot to be recorded and verified, with the new computer read scanner, voting machines.
Then and there, nationally if voter fraud, excessive voting and accuracy can be verified, instantaiously.
When voter verification is recorded.
One Vote, One Voter!
No more dead gold fish voters, deceased voters, multiple illegal voters.
With mandating the Voter apply his/her, Legal social security number be written on the ballot, for the vote scanner this should be mandated though out our Country at all the polls and insure voter accuracy, and legimaticy.
With strong severe Federal election law penalties, of severe fines and imprisonment.
Along with the eradication of our Rights , liberties, Pursuit of Happiness, and Security!
I personally do not believe he was born within the United States or is a Citizen! That disqualifies his
presidency. The Media including the Hartford Courant, The Journal Inquirer. Have been Bias
supporting, campaigning for Obama Democrats. Allowing,Terrible cartoon characters, pictures, untrue
mockery and ridicule of the Republican candidates.
John McCain and Sarah Palin have an economic plan that celebrates the American dream of opportunity,
not government give aways. In this country, we believe in spreading opportunity, for those who need
jobs and those who create them. That’s why their economic plan – Jobs for America – is so
important for the American people in this time of economic crisis. While Barack Obama is ready to
“spread the wealth around,” John McCain has a plan to get our economy moving so everyone has
access to good jobs, a quality education and the opportunity to succeed.
Honorable John McCain and Sarah Palin offer Honesty, Fresh recovery, no tax increases, strength
prosperity, stability, and Security, for our country .
Vote good Hon. John McCain and Sarah Palin for the Best of our Country. The United States of
America.!! God Bless America if U don’t ! Thank You

As far as Obama is concerned: a) his birth record (in the state of Hawaii) is on public records. Want a peak at it? Request it from that state. b) his medical records were published and while, unlike McCain’s, his don’t tell how many freckles he has on his tushy, it may be because most democrats aren’t interested in TMI of that kind.
Now, as far as Palin is concerned, I’m starting to wonder if there is really no fire under the smoke surrounding that very discrete last pregnancy of hers, the bizarre story of the day she “delivered”, and the missing hospital records of the actual birth of that child. Not that I would want to cast aspersion on the woman, but I’m starting to wonder..

Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand no fewer than seven such credits for individuals.Here’s the political catch. All but the clean car credit would be refundable, which is Washington-speak for the fact that you can receive these checks even if you have no income-tax liability. In other words, they are an income transfer — a federal check — from taxpayers to nontaxpayers. Once upon a time we called this welfare,

Sickening how that ABC tries to constantly cast doubt on Palin by doing a daily countoff of how many days it’s been since she “said she would release” her health records. Where is Obama’s birth certificate? There are a lot of sinister reasons why he hasn’t released it. Funny how his supposedly “dying” white (media make sure to emphasize WHITE a thousand times) grandmother is still alive. Yet Obama went to HI in emergency trip to see her before her death. Then the next day the Dem Gov of HI seals his birth certificate so that noone can see it. How ironic. I think he went there to conceal his fake birth certificate.
ABC has been doing this countdown on Palin’s medical record since day 2 or 3. It’s pathetic. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.
No wonder why ABC news is losing viewers.

Obama/Acorn/Bullying Banks/Clinton——
With the prospect of expansions and mergers threatened, banks settled cases and, significantly, increasingly made loans they would not have normally made. The net effect, as ACORN litigation increased, was that credit standards lowered.
At first, the GSEs(FANNIE/FREDDIE) resisted purchasing these risky mortgages. But eventually the Clinton administration instructed them to substantially increase the percentage of these mortgages in their portfolios. Government-backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac of the Clinton reforms became “a feeding trough,” in the phrase of Peter Ferrara, director of budget and entitlement policy at the Institute for Policy Innovation and general counsel for the American Civil Rights Union.

Senator McCain proves he understands the economy———————
MAY 2006—
McCain addresses the Senate: “Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were ‘illusions deliberately and systematically created’ by the company’s senior management.
“If Congress does not act,” McCain said, “American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.”

Obama/Acorn/Mortgage crisis/Campaign contributions—————————
The poor communities and their exploitive leaders benefited from the capitalization with a surge of homeownership, at least on the surface.
Wall Street benefited from increased sales of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities, as the housing market benefited from new capital channeled from Fannie and Freddie.
And the GSE(FANNIE/FREDDIE) heads profited, with political support in Washington in the form of campaign contributions. Topping the list of recipients of contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 1989 is the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut. He has received $165,400. Second is Obama, receiving $126,349 despite having spent only three years in the Senate. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., received $42,350.

Please ABC keep pressing Gov. Palin on her medical records – and keep listing under related stories the other 4 times you’ve ran this story – helps you look extra foolish and biased . Like any candidate she probably has things she doesn’t want disclosed. Who’s that other guy…oh it’s Sen. Obama what’s he hiding?
No college transcripts
No real medical records
No thesis or writings from grad school
Nothing from Harvard Law Review
No ‘community organizer’ reports
No real state senate legislation
No executive experience
No accountability for past relationships
No tolerance for reporters not ‘in the tank’

I am so curious now more than ever. What are you hiding huh, MS Perfect Cristian? What you got in your closet: abortion, not Trigg’s mom, mental institution, etc. Keep at it Katie. She needs to release that. We have a right to know.

Posted by: maly w. | November 2, 2008, 1:07 am 1:07 am

She can’t release her records because she has never been to hospitals since she visits witch doctors. Remember Todd had a broken arm and continued racing. These frontier types don’t know about modern medicine.

It’s was reported in Alaska by neighbors of the Palins about two weeks after she announced her daughter was having a baby. Look Bristol Palin is the real Mother of the baby Sarah says is her’s. It would show up in the medical records that Sarah never had a baby in 2007. Sarah had to protect this information as she was chosen McCain’s running mate. Now what Sarah didn’t know as Bristol was having another baby. This was well know by neighbors and classmates but the Media didn’t report it. After Sarah goes back to Alaska Bristol will be given her baby boy back. As for the Father well no one knows as the boys in the nieghborhood say Bristol got around alot.

The controversy is not about Obama’s health or Palin’s “health”. The controversy seems to be about her 5th child.
Why doesn’t she put that to rest by having her doctor (whoever he/she is) release a statement saying that he/she delivered the baby, where and when and then another statement one pager about her health being in good shape.
I’d be happy with that. The republican supporter should have no issues with this right?

Spark Notes Version——
The subprime mortgage mess was caused by the democrats and Acorn and their community organizers. The congress knew this was coming back in the 90′s. Senator McCain stood up warned them and tried a few times to regulate Fannie and Freddie to protect Americans, he could’t even get the Senate to vote on the issue and now we all know what happened. The Congress(this time it was the Dem’s with Acorn and Obama, Clinton) that failed us. Let’s not reward them by electing them. Unless this is working out well for you and your family. Use your vote wisely.

Risky SubPrime Mortgages/Acorn———————————–
June 1995
Republicans had won control of Congress and planned CRA(Community Reinvestment Act) reforms. The Clinton administration, however, allied with Rep. Frank, Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., did an end-around by directing HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo to inject GSEs(FANNIE/FREDDIE) into the subprime mortgage market.
As Kurtz notes, “ACORN had come to Congress not only to protect the CRA from GOP reforms but also to expand the reach of quota-based lending to Fannie, Freddie and beyond.” What resulted was the broadening of the “acceptability of risky subprime loans throughout the financial system, thus precipitating our current crisis.”

Palin told us clear when she was interviewed by Brian Willams. She said “if they are released.”
She knows what she has in her closet. if the media talk about it, she will say thats sexism. Now that we have all heard that Obama’s aunt is in America ILLEGALY, we want to know Palin’s medical records as well.

I’m a democrat and voting for Obama, but come on! We’re talking about personal medical records. Someone can be perfectly healthy and suddenly have a stroke. Then you have someone like Cheney that has heart problems and made it through his 8 year commitment. Who cares what is in her medical history. So what if she had a boil lanced or a bikini wax. Not important. Stop whining!

I wouldn’t trust her one inch. Never mind her health – yes, maybe she had an abortion and she was chosen to be the darling child of the religious right. What a story that would be.
BTW, the VP candidate should have been chosen as the most qualified to lead this nation if Sen McCains health failed, especially given his age.
And lets remember that she runs the socialistic state of Alaska, with no income or sales tax, and the govt gives every resident about $3800 per year instead, from oil revenues.
Give me a break that she knows much about big time economics.
And she has never explained why she attended 5 different colleges, and I can’t find a straight answer as to whether she did or did not get a degree. Is something hidden here – I leave you to join me in wondering.
As compared to Sen Joe Biden, with about 35 years in the senate, and head of the key Foreign Affairs Committee. The group of senior Senate people who have to rebuild America’s image in the world after the Bush Catastrophic Presidency.
Sorry, Sen McCain. You messed up on this one. Enjoy your retirement which you richly do deserve for your service to our nation.
And maybe you can write a hell of a good book on how America might put itself back together again after the disastrous 8 years of Bush.
And a final comment – remember the stickers after 9/11 – God Bless America”, which I had on my old car till I traded it?
Maybe God is Blessing America, for so many reasons, by helping us elect Sen. Obama.
And putting the “it’s over” stamp on the final chapter of America’s greatest unfinished businesss – that despite much progress, we have yet to stamp out racism, especially in the heavily republican deep south.

Acorn/Democrats/Subprime mortgages–
So it was the efforts of ACORN and its Democratic allies that first spread the subprime virus from the CRA to Fannie and Freddie and thence to the entire financial system. Soon, Democratic politicians and regulators actually began to take pride in lowered credit standards as a sign of “fairness” — and the contagion spread.

I have never read comments on abcnews.com til today…..no wonder alot of people agree ABC and other networks are in the tank with Obama:
started with Charles Gibson’s condescending interview of Palin….
how would you feel if your mom was called a bitch…had std’s like a comment here…domestic violence in her family other comments she had a sex change….real substance….too bad idiocy is not a disqualification for a vote, because many of you wouldn’t be able to
a network that cares more about Sarah Palin’s wardrobe than why Obama keeps changing his tax plan….what substance!!!
a network more worried about a medical record than the dozens of coverups and hidden Obama documents…….like his birth records…and I am not talking about that forged thing on his website….Mr. Berg, a lawyer appealing to the supreme court has audio from his Grandma he was born in Kenya and other factual proof……..why Mr. Obama is that paperwork sealed? do any of you idiots that watch this biased reporting know he may not even be eligible to run for president……….no, we are too busy slamming the republicans and then watching abc talk about all the attacks republicans are pulling on poor Mr. Hussein Obama……..o, that’s right, if I use his name that automatically makes me a racist……whatever….
ok uneducated, did u know that Obama has less experience than Palin…..where has Obama ever commanded the national guard?
Obama always talks about his brother’s keeper, did you all know that this “long lost aunt” was living in a slum….Obama has other poor family in other parts of the world…if he doesn’t offer to take care of them, how do u believe he is gonna take care of YOU? and yeah right, it was plant story…..you know who broke it? THE LONDON TIMES!!!! shows you how wonderful this great media like this website is….and guess what, they have a quote from her saying she is not supposed to talk about Barack Hussein Obama until after the election, what is she hiding………I could go on and on……
I didn’t prefer McCain for the republican nomination, but will vote for him because the only real person in this race is Sarah Palin, and if this can get her up there………wonderful………however, Obama is not only a double-talker, but he is a proven liar and proven hater of this country and I’ll be damned if I’ll let him get into office to give me my welfare check every year……I don’t want your welfare Obama!!!!!
btw…….I will be hammered and slammed and smeared here, I know it will happen….weird, this same kinda thing happened to Germans that didn’t like Hitler prior to WWII……get educated people and stop watching these networks that want to make the news instead of report it………they would’ve flunked my college journalism and news media classes………

Looks like we can’t blame this on Bush—–
September 1999
With pressure from the Clinton administration, Fannie Mae eased credit requirements on loans it would purchase from lenders, making it easier for banks to lend to borrowers unqualified for conventional loans.
With this action, Fannie Mae put itself at substantial risk in the event of an economic downturn. “From the perspective of many people, including me, this is another thrift industry growing up around us,” warned Peter Wallison, a fellow in financial policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
“If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.” The danger was known.

I’ll release my med records here now. Of course I’m not running for office.
But at age 68, I probably don’t have prostate cancer, though they have been watching me for 13 years.
I have mild to moderate aortic value leakage. Blood pressure is now under control with 2 drugs.
I have an aortic aneurysm – a bulge in my aorta in the stomach area. If it bursts, the fact that I work next door to the hospital probably won’t help me.
But it does seem stable over the 4 years since it was discovered.
Oh, btw, if I hadn’t had medical insurance via my employer, and now medicare, no one would give me insurance for less then $100,000 per year. Thanks John, for the lousy $5000 you’d give me for medical insurance. With your deal, I’d probably be DEAD.
And my Mom’s whole side of the family had altsheimers, starting from age 74 to 85. Her Mom had it by age 69.
I have arthritis in the thumb joints.
Hearing in one ear is noticeably degraded from the other.
I do wear trifocals. A far cry from when I used to fly my own planes, even at night and was 20-20.
I have Gastro-esophogal reflux disease. Under good control now, but a condition that could lead to esophogal cancer, though biopsies say I’m fine.
I’m a potential diabetic – the scourge I inherited from my Dads side of the family – his Mom and all his siblings also.
And if you met me on the street, you would judge me to be in excellent health, and 10 years younger then I really am. 6′, 170 pounds.
You bet Ms Palin, we want to know about you., even though you’d get my vote as Ms Mom Beauty queen.
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU HIDING OR ASHAMED OF ?????????????????????????
But you wouldn’t get my vote for VP,especially with Sen. McCains age.
And we have to ask real detailed health questions about Sen McCain – he is 4 years older then I am.

MCCAIN WANTED TO HAVE OVERSIGHT ON FANNIE/FREDDIE –DEM”S wouldn’t bring it to vote———————–
January 2005-July 2006
Sen. Hagel, with Sens. Sununu and Dole, and later Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., re-introduced legislation to address GSE regulation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, “The bill prohibited the GSEs(FANNIE) from holding portfolios, and gave their regulator prudential authority (such as setting capital requirements) roughly equivalent to a bank regulator. In light of the current financial crisis, this bill was probably the most important piece of financial regulation before Congress in 2005 and 2006.”——-
“Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn’t even get the Senate to vote on the matter. That such a reckless political stand could have been taken by the Democrats was obscene even then.”

As long as there is clearance from a doctor there is no reason to release all medical records… there are many medical issues that would in NO WAY relate to ones ability to run a country that could cause the general public (without medical knowledge) to freak out over and ultimately cause them to make an uneducated decision. For example, I’m 22 and I had a stress induced hand tremor… in no way does it mess with my ability to function or handle anything and everything it just adds a twitch but I’m sure if i were running for office it be used against me if my medical reports were to be released… Prime example of things that aren’t relevant…
I’ll admit I’m not fond of Obama but his 1 page report should be enough of a requirement for any candidate. however, if you’re going to demand Palin’s reports so hard then where are Obama’s??? There should be 1 standard set and everyone should be held to it… you want full records, every candidate has to release full records, you want 1 page summaries, then THATS ALL any candidate has to release…

Now, of course, you “believe” there is no protection of rights of privacyt in the Constitution — because you are told to believe that anti-American lie. Let’s look at 2whether you actually agree with that lie when presentation of it FORCES you to THINK:
You’ve had an abortion. Your neighbors will firebomb your house if they find out you did.
Go ahead: Boast to your neighbors that there’s no right of privacy, and you had an abortion.

a g,
The only reason the media have kept things at a superficial level with Palin is that there IS NO SUBSTANCE to review, except for a long list of horrifying details, which the media have kept relatively silent on, IMHO.
All she can talk about is how she cleaned up government, when actually she just abused power and ran up ridiculous travel expenses with her daughters, ostensibly on state business.
She’s real, there’s no doubt about that. That bogus Canadian radio interview proved once again just how real and naïve she is.
The trouble is, there is a real chance she could become VP, or worse, POTUS.
Help!

I could care less about her medical records.
I just want to know when she’ll buy a one-way ticket back to Wasilla.

“gus, did u know these same guys called the french president prior to Sarcosi and stumped him? I guess he was an idiot too…….”
Yeah, the current French president is a right-wing egotist from one of those “socialist” European countries.
She was sure tripping hands-over-feet to compliment this guy. I must admit I’m embarassed for her. She was sooooo stupid.
The Canadian guy tried for several minutes to make it more and more obvious the call was a prank.
But she wasn’t falling for that – not even the bit about the Hustler porn film tipped her off that something might be wrong with the call.
Wow, what a nutcase.

Posted by: Bust'em | November 2, 2008, 2:52 am 2:52 am

Of course she’s hiding something, for there’s no other explantion. And it’s something that would show her up for the hypocrite and liar that she is. I’m betting…her records show STD, abortion, drug or alcohol addiction, botox, or mental instability. Personally, I think it’s leaning toward bi-polar, but narcissist for sure.

Posted by: pbd | November 2, 2008, 3:00 am 3:00 am

At first I really didn’t think it was a big deal to have full release of records, and a one-page summary would probably be fine.
HOWEVER…now that it’s clear we aren’t going to see anything (maybe 11:15 pm PST. on Monday night) it makes me more than suspicious. I laughed at all the theories about Trig not being hers, etc., but now I REALLY have to wonder what’s up with ol’ Miss 1st Runner Up…perhaps there are a few skeletons in the perverbial closet she’d rather keep hidden after all. It’s just really one more thing about her that CONVINCES me she’s a bad apple. Her track record in Wasilla and the investigations have turned up a pattern of abuse of power, and she’s habitually resistant to cooperating with the questions about her past dealings. This is the final nail in her coffin if you ask me. Time for her to crawl back into her Parka and disappear.

Posted by: Mary Mary | November 2, 2008, 3:02 am 3:02 am

Still no medical records, Palin? Why did you promise to show them?

Why don’t they discuss the fact that Obama never produced his birth certificate ? The stupid masses are about to elect a socialist, racist Kenyan !

Posted by: zuzi | November 2, 2008, 3:32 am 3:32 am

I read a few weeks back they were asking her to produce her medical information and she said, “No problem I have nothing to hide. I’m healthy and I have had 5 children. Did Palin seek treatment with a Psychiatrist. Whats the big deal, over 60% of America is under care or has been seen by a Phd. It has been said all patience have a right to privacy. Unless there was a time Palin was making a decision whether to keep Trig. This would blow her politically out of the water. Another day, another lie. That would be the end of her career with the women in America.

Posted by: RosaritoBjaCa | November 2, 2008, 3:52 am 3:52 am

IMO… everything about Palin is hypocritical. There is so much going on in her own life that she should never speak ill of anyone else. However, it doesn’t even slow her down…Her Rep. far right fanatics support her, and hypocritically, they would tear Obama to shreds for the very same deeds…
She calls Hillary a whiner when she commented on sexism. When it happens to Palin,,,she whines about how unfair it is…
And the argument that she has the most “executive” experience of any of the candidates is so utterly ridicules. Do you realize who else had that kind of experience? Why none other than our current President G.W. Bush…the former Governor of the great state of Texas. Bush, whose father came up with the delightful theory of trickle down economics. Bush, the Republican Pres. that has done more to usher in Socialism than any Democrat could hope for…
Just like Powell stated…the faces and names would change but the current policies would remain the same under a McCain/Palin administration…
thanks,,,but no thanks…

I suspect her medical records will show she suffers from delusions, such as thinking she is qualified to be Vice President.

Posted by: prcleburne | November 2, 2008, 4:13 am 4:13 am

There could be manny reasons it is taking so long. Shoot… perhaps her doctor is an obama supporter! Or maybe she is pregnant again and does not want the word out until she has tha all-clear that everything is ok. (Can you imagine if you were a woman who had a miscarage and the whole nation knew?!) Or perhaps something came out irregular on a mamogram and they are waiting for biopsy results. Who knows? Who cares?
As for her baby not being hers, does anyone know the likelihood of a teenager giving birth to a baby with down-syndrome? Why not stop speculating and just look at the facts?
And as for obama not releasing his birth certificate… isn’t that public information? All you need to do is contact the county registrar and request the information.
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? And why should the candidates be required to release their medical history anyway? Whatever happened to privacy? It seems to me people are more interested in gossip than electing a qualified leader for our nation!
And health conditions don’t determine qualification in my bbok. I used to think, “wow, I can’t beleive there was a time in our country where a President had to hide his disability for fear that people would think he was unqualified..” Now I realize, that not only was there once a time in our history, but that it is existent still today.
What a shame.

OK, it’s day 12… will ABC and the other networks say anything on-air? Make an issue of this? Time will tell. It’s just quite suspicious that Governor Palin will not relase these records – there is simply something within them that the Governor does not want the country/world to see now or ever in the future. Medications taken or being taken, prior or current illnesses, plastic surgery?, botox??? So the story goes on and on…

Posted by: Carol Winston | November 2, 2008, 4:21 am 4:21 am

I don’t think that there will be anything in the records to embarass Sarah Palin – she only needs to release a one pager and she can hide everything she feels she needs to. This is more of an issue in that she can’t even get the document – any document – out there in timely fashion. All the other candidates have managed it. (Yes, including Obama. Typical Right Wing Nut Job previously posted one sentence: Where is Obama’s?? Is that there answer to everything? Question Obama, Attack Obama. How about dealing with the issue on the table – Sarah Palin’s incompetence has absolutely nothing to do with Obama. It speaks volumes for McCain’s judgement, but has nothing to do … with Obama. Don’t even try and pin that one on him!)

Posted by: Sally Bull | November 2, 2008, 4:44 am 4:44 am

Until she releases her medical info, let’s start some rumors just for fun. Most likely reasons Sarah is withholding her medical records: 1) She has had an abortion in the past; 2) she has Attention Deficit Disorder; 3) she has a history of mental illness. OK, number 1 is pure speculation, but it would be the most problematic for her and would be the thing she would most want to hide. There is some anecdotal evidence for 2 and 3. Her struggle through college is consistent with ADD and, in the Troopergate report it was revealed that many of those that worked closely with her observed that she was unable to concentrate and focus for long periods and seldom was seen reading anything at length. This may explain her awkward response to Couric’s question about what she reads. As far as mental health, I think she’s nuts, how ’bout you? lol

Whoever this journalist is should be ashamed. “There are also more sinister explanations. But we won’t go there.” By making this quick insinuation, you just did “go there”. And frankly, it is ridiculous. I concur the American people have a right to know the health of the candidates they potentially are voting for in an election. However, most normal people aren’t rushing to acquiesce to the media immediately, the very same entity that has demeaned and criticized, their every action. This election has not focused on the issues whatsoever. Rather both candidates have done everything in their power to degrade the other. Unfairly, one candidate has had the powerful media on their side to help them win this election.

Posted by: ukformccain | November 2, 2008, 5:16 am 5:16 am

This election is tearing our country apart! The medias bias in this election is so evident.It’s disgusting. I wonder if everyone who is voting for Obama on Nov. 4 can say one year from now that they made the right choice, How about 40 years from now when our freedoms have been taken away because of one mans appointments of ungodly supreme court judges. Wake up people!!!! God will take care of our economy if we will uphold his law regarding,abortion, gay marriage, etc. Also why hasn’t the media commented on Reverend Wright and Obama connection. You don’t sit in church for 17 years listening to a pastor that you don’t agree with. Apparently Obama won’t let anyone ask these questions of him. Whose covering up? Sarah Palins doctors report isn’t going to show anything other than who she is, a mother of five and probably the usual woman stuff. She is a great mother, a strong christian and someone if she were to have to fill the presidential position that I would be proud of. All of you that have spewed your poison on this matter should be ashamed of yourself. Shame, shame on the media for their bias. I pray for our nation every day as do thousands of others but one day soon God is going to say he’s had enough. The USA has always been the Light to the rest of the world but I feel our light going dim.

There is no reason that Palin can’t release the same thing, that is, if the Doctor agrees. Maybe the doctor wants to release the full records and Palin doesn’t.

I’m more worried about Obama proving he’s a natural born citizen of this country than I am about ANY of their medical records. If he was born in Hawaii,then how did his KENYAN grandmother attend his birth in Kenya???? And why are his KENYAN birth records sealed, if he wasn’t born there?

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 2, 2008, 7:03 am 7:03 am

I’ve been to various doctors since lesving home, going through college, entering the workforce, etc. My records aren’t in a comprehensive file in any one place. Such is probably the case with many people, unless either they’re in the military or they’ve made a conscious effort to consolidate their records. An insurance carrier would have a decent chance of coming up with a lot of the relevant info, but not everything, especially since not everyone has always had continuous coverage.
If I were important enough that anyone actually cared to look at my medical records, it would be easy enough for me to just “forget” to request records from any doctor whose report might be in any way incriminating. Surely that’s what Governor Palin would do concerning any abortions, STD’s, or incidental boob jobs.
On the other hand, getting someone to report a condition that never happened to the patient, i. e. a 5th pregnancy, might be trickier. It would require a doctor to be complicit in fraud.
My guess is that it’s all about Trig.

Posted by: heather A. | November 2, 2008, 7:03 am 7:03 am

Fed-up – Hawaii sealed Obama’s birth records, as did Kenya. Now how could Kenya seal records that supposedly don’t exist????? As for Hawaii, at the time Obama was born, you could REGISTER a birth after it happened….meaning that, potentially, Obama could have been born elsewhere and then registered in Hawaii. His Kenyan grandmother insists she was present at his birth IN Kenya.

Obama Camp Releases Doctor’s Report
by Bonney Kapp
Far from the hundreds of pages of medical records provided to the McCain press corps for several hours, Barack Obama’s campaign released a note from his doctor that deemed him in “excellent health.”
The 46-year-old works out regularly, recently quit smoking, and appears to take on a grueling schedule with relative ease – and lest we forget, Obama was dubbed one of the nation’s 25 fittest guys this month according to Men’s Fitness magazine.
Last week when McCain released his medical records, Obama was asked if the elder candidate’s age will be a factor in this election. “He is campaigning actively all across the country. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health – I don’t think it should be an issue in the campaign,” Obama told reporters.
Read the doctor’s note after the jump.
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Note: Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

Are we waiting because Sarah can’t pressure her Doctor to lie?
Did she get psychological treatment?
Is she concerned about her medication history?
Does she have a psychiatric diagnosis?
Has she had 5 pregnancies?
Or is she just to vain to admit anything embarassing, Domestic Violence?
Politically incorrect treatments? Eating disordr? Warts?

(943 Comments and counting)
When the Internet was abuzz over the mysterious birth of Trig, the missing photos, a daugher out of school for months with mono… bloggers and reporters alike, had a simple request which would have been so easy to clear up some truly bizarre circumstances. Instead of putting the rumors to rest about her young daughter, by simply providing the birth certificate, or the typical hospital birth photos, Palin’s campaign and supporters instead blame/shame the questions, reporters and bloggers. And Palin’s only response it to tell the nation “Bristol is pregnant” – implying that Baby #1 could not possibly have Also been Bristol’s. What a way to dispel a rumor there Ms. Palin.
“Transparency Please” vs “Privacy Please” — and to those who insist upon bringing up Obama, and trying to divert a question that is A. Fair to Ask B. Should not go away… not now, nor in 2012, as it relates directly to the Republican base, and their Pro-Life platform (and tactics).
So, to “Privacy” – this is as close as I can come to Air-Quotes… remember them? As in McCain’s disdainful mention of “Women’s Health” in the debate? Privacy is most surely at stake, and vulnerable at the hands of McCain/Palin and the Pro-Lifers. It was a woman’s Privacy, that was held as the Sancrosanct issue of the Roe v Wade decision itself, as interpreted in the 4th Amendment. It was determined that a woman’s privacy over her own person and womb, and her decision is a private matter. In other words, it is not the Government’s business to get into the business of gynecological inquisitions. — Sorry Palin, you cannot have it both ways. You want Privacy for yourself while you intend to trample upon the Privacy of Women you don’t know. You have no respect nor regard for their personal decisions, while you seek praise for your decision and decry “Privacy”. Here’s another set of air-quotes for your “Decision”.
Whether by Blessed Design, Karma, Coincidence or Deceit… Baby Trig is the focus and show piece fot the McCain/Palin Pro-Life debate. As Pro-Lifers have been learning – their upfront tactics weren’t winning people to their side and they have been indeed learning new political methods and lows.

Regardless of what she may or may not be hiding, it seems more likely that, knowing they will probably lose the election, Palin is trying to keep something that might adversely affect her gubernatorial career, and any career prospects for the future, the idea being wait until after the election, then let the matter die quietly.

Posted by: brianbwb | November 2, 2008, 8:47 am 8:47 am

Here’s a thought. What if the true reason that Sarah Palin, “Miss anti-Abortion”, isn’t releasing her medical records because she’s hiding a deep, dark secret – that she herself has had an abortion before? Wouldn’t that just sink their boat? It’s the only thing that make sense to me as to why a seeming healthy woman would not release her medical records.

Posted by: SpeakingUp | November 2, 2008, 8:48 am 8:48 am

Why oh why do you fools drone on and on about Obama’s birth certificate? Don’t you know that a child born to an American citizen is by birth right also an American? And Obama’s doctor did not just release a two line note. Here’s what he wrote:
The Obama campaign released this summary of the senator’s health records on Thursday, and does not plan to make additional records available:
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.
What can you say? The man is in excellent health, with no four bouts of melanoma nor “five” pregnancies to report. I say to Sarah Palin, let the sunshine and reveal yourself, but I suspect as usual that she’ll continue to play her little reindeer games of dodge the media and avoid the enquiring mind of the public…

Posted by: Marolkisan | November 2, 2008, 8:51 am 8:51 am

I am in disbelief that the media is not on this more and demanding she release them. Clearly, she is thinking that she and McCain will lose on Tuesday..but it’s just horrible that she is just ignoring the issue…and the media as well. I think it’s beyond irresponsible. How can we take her seriously if she doesn’t take the process seriously?

And furthermore Morons who blather on about show me the BC, NO ONE owns or holds their original birth certificate — these are issued by the state and the most anyone can show is a certified w/a seal copy of same.

Posted by: Marolkisan | November 2, 2008, 9:01 am 9:01 am

The answers are obvious:
Trig is her daughter’s baby (shades of “Chinatown.”
An abortion earlier in life
Cosmetic surgery
And, yes, Sen. Obama released a one-page summary. That’s still FAR more transparency and disclosure than Gov. Palin.
Yet the wingnuts still deflect. So tiresome.

Maybe she herself had Downs Syndrome. It would explain a lot. Why can’t Sarah just come out and be the first candidate with Downs Syndrome to run for high office?

Posted by: Jackboots for McKKKain | November 2, 2008, 9:13 am 9:13 am

Palin has made it an issue by her stalling. I’ve requested medical records for my clients and have received them within a week. All it takes is permission and a photcopy machine. Whatever is in there, honesty is always the best policy.

Posted by: Marybeth | November 2, 2008, 9:22 am 9:22 am

I quit watching ABC news and Good Morning America following Charlie Gibson’s interview of Governor Palin. Obama is the least experienced candidate to run for the presidency in recent memory, has never made an executive decision in his life, and I don’t recall Mr. Gibson interviewing Senator Obama with his glasses placed on the end of his nose — a snobberish posture with all the trappings of the media elite. Obama released a 1 page document of his medical history so why don’t you investigate this Kate? He has been running for office for 2 years! His Mother died fairly young of cancer, he has a history of cocaine use and he is running for the PRESIDENCY! The media are suppose to serve the public by informing us of the facts without bias on the candidates. Responsible journalism is nonexistent at ABC and your coverage of Sarah Palin (especially) and Hillary Clinton for that matter are a clear illustration that sexism is a far bigger problem in this country than racism. Perhaps you should pay attention to the fact that the citizens of this country no longer trust the media to provide fair and balanced reporting on our candidates. There was never a discussion of Ms. Palin’s achievements as a mayor and a governor by your news organization. She has given policy speeches on women’s issues and children with special needs in recent weeks that received no coverage by the media. Is your salary being paid by the Obama Campaign Kate since your stories are so aligned with championing his presidency? If you don’t appreciate unfair innuendos then look in the mirror and ask yourself if you have lost the capability of being a decent and fair journalist. Yes, you have but you are certainly not alone at ABC.

Posted by: Shamelessly poor journalism | November 2, 2008, 9:26 am 9:26 am

I’ve looked at a lot of those Baby Trig conspiracy theories, and at first I thought they were kind of nutty. But then I remember that desperate houswives episode with Bree faking her daughter’s pregnancy, but I think Sarah did a horrible job of covering it up.
I mean at 7 months- especially after having 4 kids, you’d definitely be showing, right? But in April her belly magically gets big. Not to mention Bristol was out of school for at least 5 months for “mono” and they conveniently announced that Bristol was 5 months pregnant to make her already pregnant by the time Trig was born- clever.
So, what would her medical records reveal?
You’d think that she’d at least release Trig’s birth certificate.

Posted by: Matteroffacts | November 2, 2008, 9:32 am 9:32 am

I mean, Trig’s birth certificate could dispel a lot of the rumors- those rumors are very convincing by the way.

Posted by: Matteroffacts | November 2, 2008, 9:37 am 9:37 am

reasons like drug abuse or past mental issues would be a good reason at this moment in time. Its a strategic move, actually. If they win next week, she will then let you know…but you cant do anything about it. And if they lose, then she isnt obligated to release anything.

Posted by: tendergroins | November 2, 2008, 9:38 am 9:38 am

Maybe she doesn’t want to release the information because it will reveal that she recently had an abortion.
(It is a fact that the abortion rate is not significantly different between the most conservative and religious right versus the liberals)

Marolkisan – Not everyone born to an American citizen is automatically a NATURAL BORN American citizen. There is some question as to whether Obama’s mother lived in the U.S. long enough after the age of 16 & before Obama was born to actually confer citizenship to him. And since he became an Indonesian citizen upon his mother’s remarriage, he automatically gave up his US citizenship (if he ever had it in the first place), as Indonesia & the US did not have a mutual citizenship agreement in place at the time. Technically, he could be considered an illegal alien.

If it turns out that Trig is Gov’s grandson, that is not the issue and her daughter’s pregnancy(ies) should have no bearing on whether Gov. is qualified. The issue is that Gov. would have lied and if you do not have someone who will be truthful with you before they are elected, they will not be truthful with you after they are elected. There are several reasons I believe that Trig is Gov.’s grandson. First, after giving birth to 4 children with everyone knowing of those pregnancies, now we have a 5th pregnancy that her family of origin & closest friends did not even know about. Second, she went to work 3 days after giving birth. Is this consistent with her other pregnancy experiences? If not, why the diversion from the maternal instinct to allow that initial time to bond with your newborn. Third, the child is a special needs child. What is the wisdom of toting a 3-day-old special needs child around unncessarily? Even with 3-day-old newborns who are not special needs there are precautions because newborns are so susceptible to infections, etc. Now that brings a question. If Trig is Bristol’s child, is she actually pregnant again or is it a ruse?

The bottom line is: the three other candidates have all released a little something from their medical past and she hasnt. Why is she above them all!?
Palin said she was going to bring a new form of transparency to Washington…Im not seeing it, are you?
Her 15 minutes are up. Get to packing and head back to your igloo eating mooseburgers. Dont you have taxpayer money to waste to go to another snow mobile race!?!

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 2, 2008, 10:17 am 10:17 am

You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20′s would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the ‘tax man’ they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy ‘redistribution of wealth’ means one kid go’s out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the “United States of Cuba” ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain! Obamas medical records show he used cocaine!!

I’m not supporting the GOP ticket, but…
To the conspiracy theorists who suspect Trig isn’t her child, you should probably slow down, take a deep breath, and do your best to think about it logically. Aside from the fact that she would have to hide being pregnant from medical practitioners, friends, family, enemies, etc, for months and not have this caught by the media, her daughter (whom most of theories point to being the real parent) would have to conceal the pregnancy from months as well and not have this fact picked up by the media. I suggest you apply Occum’s Razor to this theory and see how it holds up against questionable hearsay such as “She didn’t look pregnant.”
To those who question the importance of releasing medical records for presidential candidates, or their right the privacy, it is important (albeit you don’t have to include every minutiae), and it applies to all parties.
Is it unreasonable to question the health of someone who is over 65 with multiple relapses of cancer, or a brain aneurism, or a family history of cancer?
Is it unreasonable to want to know if a candidate has a diagnosed psychological disorder?

dz365: I agree partially with your comment with one exception: Bristol is the one who tarnished her own reputation. She cannot go back and undo what has been done. As a parent, I believe it is important for us to stand beside our children in all times. That being said, it would be best for the truth to come out and then, as parents, take the stand to let people know that, as Obama stated, children are especially off limits as far as media coverage. Most especially because media often does not know where to stop. Case in point: Obama taking his daughter trick-or-treating. It wasn’t the photo shot he objected to, it was the dogging and obvious lack of respect by media to recognize that after being on the campaign trail where they have been accessible to Obama 24/7, this was his time with his daughter. This brings another observation to the forefront and just one of the things that has really bothered me about Palin. With 5 children, one whom is a newborn with special needs; a daughter who is pregnant, wouldn’t be important for Palin to be putting her family first? I am not saying that she is not able, or should not have a different standard than a male. But I have often wondered with Todd Palin’s jobs in commercial fishing and pipeline, who is taking care of the kids?

hamburgler 007,
of course it sounds totally weird. But maybe you read some of the posts above from nurses, midwives or simply from women who gave birth to children.
How can a woman who is 8 months pregnant whose water had broken get into an airplane? The baby could have come any time and a special needs baby needs even more safety! Also there are no records in the hospital. Sounds rather strange all together.
After all the lies she has told already I find it justified to consider this possibility. She can easily prove us wrong if she releases the promised medical records…

I’m so glad when this is over, and if Sen. Obama wins, good for you, I still have a job and if you work for someone or a company I hope you won’t be layed off. But then Sen.

Sister Joyous: You make a good point but let’s not forget that there have been plenty of women who have been pregnant and don’t show until later on. Some, when they do show, barely look pregnant when they are actually 9 months. There are a couple things to look at: Bristol was absent for 5 months due to “mono” which is entirely possible. But given Trig’s age, did the 5 months MIA include 2 or 3 months prior to Trig’s birth?

Posted by: watchman55 in Arizona | November 2, 2008, 11:23 am 11:23 am

At this point, with the McCain/Palin campaign looking like it will fail to succeed in its presidential efforts. There is little reason for her to further embarrass the campaign with some questionable facts of abortion, drug abuse or addiction, cosmetic surgery or whatever people would pounce upon. Keeping this out of the media will give her time to get the record sanitized or at least pushed into her past far enough that in 8 years when she plans to run for the numero uno spot, it will be old news.

IF they were serious about anything with good ‘ol SAM the Scam they would have been as much in a rush to have him put his name on a dotted line.

In addition, if you look at the article abcnews wrote after interviewing Obama in respect to his long lost Auntie you will read he had no Idea she was still here. The last time he seen Auntie was when he was sworn in for his Senate position. He knew nothing about her bum visa and going to court and being ordered to return to her country. Check it out.

WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING—————–”The anonymous source made clear the Hawaii Department of Health would immediately release Obama’s original birth certificate, provided Obama requested the document be released, but the Department of Heath has received no such request from the senator or from anyone acting officially on his behalf.”

Rick_VT: good point. Palin had her expense records changed to support costs associated with her children traveling with her on Alaska’s dime.
Many things have bothered me in this campaign especially the negativity most of which has come from the GOP. I hate the fact that the mainstream media has lately been talking about how African-Americans are nervous as to whether Obama will win. I am not African-American but, as an Obama voter, I am equally nervous because there is a lot at stake here. A high-ranking Republican yesterday said that they always nominate the #2 pick for President. Regardless of party, herein lies the problem: stagnation. It isn’t about what’s good for “We, the people” it’s about what’s good for the “We, the party.” For the first time in decades, “We, the people” have a candidate that has America’s best interest in mind. This is why I think Obama is considered a “threat to the status quo”. It’s not because he’s African-American, it’s because he has done his homework and he has openly, clearly communicated to people how Washington works and how entrenched lobbyists are crafting legislation that favors corporate interests. There is no middle ground here. The pendulum swings one way. There are, of course, some people that would never vote for an African-American and that is incredibly sad because people should be judged by their ability not their skin color. All of this talk from many people using the term “Messiah” to describe Senator Obama is just wrong. Being a believer, if I reflect the nature of Jesus Christ, because he lives in me, does that make me a Messiah? No. If I feed or clothe my neighbor does that make me a socialist? No. If I help someone fight for their rights, does that make me a socialist? No. If a business person meets with numerous representatives and negotiates a deal where everyone is agreeable though they may have some differences on their “wish list”, does that make me a socialist? No. Neither is Obama a socialist. What is being stated by the GOP is twisted – that Obama wants to take money from the middle class and spread it around. When we had this whole issue going on with Wall St., many pundits said that what was being felt by middle America was a result of “trickle down”. While this is true to some degree, I told family and friends that what Wall St is experiencing is more “trickle up”. Senator Obama is the only person who publicly stated the same thing. Thank you!!! This is why the philosophy has to change. If you build a house, do you build the roof first?

WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING???————–Although the Obama campaign could immediately put an end to all the challenges by simply producing the candidate’s original birth certificate, it has not done so. And the “Fight the Smears” website offers no explanation as to why Obama has refused to request, and make public, an original hospital-generated birth certificate which the Hawaii Department of Health may possess.

I really don’t care about the medical records of any candidate. Roosevelt was paralyzed for crying out loud, and Reagan was showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s in his last years – our country survived under both presidents’ terms. What I DO care about is whether all of our candidates were born in the U.S! This lawsuit isn’t going to go away, so he might as well show us the birth certificate. What will happen once he’s elected, if he can’t prove his citizenship? Does that constitute fraud?

Since you are so fond of repeating the name Obama why not just vote for him, get him into office and you can sit for the next 8 years and carry his popular name on. “Joe the wanna be journalist.” In the mean time Obama will give you that tax break you’ll be needing.

OBAMA IS A CANCER ON THE USA AND WE HAVE JUST ONE CHANCE TO REMOVE HIM NOW NOV 4th. The United States of Cuba? Just saying it makes me want to spit on the ground! OK now think hard people be rational about whats going on in the USA today. The auto industry is failing. Jobs have already left for overseas or gone to cheap labor. How will “Castrobama” put those things back. Its like trying to rebuild detroit it will never be the same. Japanese car makers are scaling back too. Ever wonder why everyone in Cuba drives an old car? They dont make them there either so they are too much money. Everyone but the government is poor. Obama claims he can get us more jobs but how? Pay off big companies to hire us? Wont they keep the money for bonuses? The guys middle name is “Hussein”. You claim to support him and be a patriot and want to help the USA? Shame on you. The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, Korea, ,Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq dont you see war with Iran coming? Who do you want in charge? Our country was based on wars for liberty, civil rights and freedom. What country are you from? I am from the USA. There arent as many jobs. Pick up a Sunday paper today! See how many jobs there are? Who is hiring? Its November before Christmas 2008! Wake up!!! Here are some great democrat-related words to remember. Clinton, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Edwards, Jennifer Flowers, Monica, Obama, Biden, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Congress. Think where you want the future of your country to be? Think rational about reality now today. Who is really going to help you but yourself. Not Obama.

ONCE AND FOR ALL:
State declares Obama birth certificate genuine
Originally published 06:43 p.m., October 31, 2008, updated 06:36 p.m., October 31, 2008
HONOLULU (AP) – State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.
Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently.
She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.
Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the US.
Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.

I know you’re a Robo-Blogger on the McCain payroll, but aren’t you still supposed to keep the ‘comment’ within some range of the concept of the site? Losing it or what??

One of the things that I have not heard in the media directly and what I believe is Obama’s greatest accomplishment is: Senator Obama has helped the electorate find its collective voice again by inspiring with hope. The philosophy of the temporal world is “survival of the fittest.” The electorate have been sliced, diced, divided, suppressed and oppressed by good old boy politics. The time has come for the electorate to unify, heal, assert, and be heard.

republican paulie,
calm down. Why are you so confused? Did you actually listen what Obama says about his policies? He wants to CREATE jobs in America and invest in America. He is not the one who wants to give more taxbreaks to those who ship jobs overseas, unlike McCain!
He gives taxbreaks to 95% of the people and only if you make more than 250000 you would pay more.
What is wrong if his middle name is Hussein? It makes it easy for his opponents to stir up fear, that is all.

Posted by: Mary | November 2, 2008, 12:28 pm 12:28 pm

WHAT IS OBAMA HIDING???————- In May, the campaign released a 276-word summary of Obama’s medical status, but that’s all. While the media hounded John McCain for detailed records last spring because of his skin cancer, they have shown no such curiosity over Obama, a lifelong smoker with at least a significantly elevated risk for cancer and heart disease. Obama also hasn’t had a checkup in over a year, which made the summary a little dated when it was released.

Posted by: AMAZED801 | November 2, 2008, 12:29 pm 12:29 pm

That’s what comment sites are about, Amazed. To comment on the story and bounce around the thought of fellow bloggers. Don says he thinks he read it somewhere, I think mmmm herpes. Could be. I don’t think she’s hiding an abortion. What are your thoughts? Do you think she has an election eve ‘surprise’ up her sleeve? Or is she simply inept and lacks the oranisational skills to get her doctor to write the one pager and submit it? No third option really, is there?

Posted by: chester burns | November 2, 2008, 12:30 pm 12:30 pm

Let’s not forget that there are many Republicans, including high-profile, who have voted/endorsed Senator Obama. And not all of those Republicans are African-American. I am certain that there are some Republicans who are voting for Obama but are not openly announcing it. One of the most distrubing things I have heard are people stating they are afraid to split from their party, so they are casting their votes along party lines. This is one of the first times in recent history where the electorate has broken the boundaries of race, religion, party, etc. to unify and support the candidate they best feel is qualified to lead. I am still not convinced that this election may be stolen – it would not be the first time. I believe that touch screen, computerized voting machines are dangerous mainly because computer programs can be written with code that will change the outcome. Anyone who has written a computer program knows this. As I have stated to many people, the best system is the optical (Scantron) which reads your paper ballot. This allows the ballots to be reviewed if there are any issues. This was actually stated by a computer programmer interviewed on Chris Matthews “Hardball.” He believes the optical is the best method.

Mary: They didn’t need to write it – Obama submitted his medical records in timely fashion. As did the other candidates. Except for Palin.

He has also not release any records from his Il Sen. days. He has not released his transcripts from Harvard, Columbia or even his first 2 years at Occidental College. He has not released his drafts of his two books.
Oh, and he has not released any medical records, just a note from his doctor stating that he is healty for a 45 year old long time smoker, yes 45 because his last physical was Jan. 07

I would like to know if Trig is your child or not???

Posted by: Truth Reigns | November 2, 2008, 1:17 pm 1:17 pm

How did she fake a pregnancy? Well, she didn’t really. At seven months pregnant with a fifth child, she certainly would have been showing. Yet she told nobody that she was pregnant until that seventh month — not even her parents or her other children! Everyone was shocked when they heard which Palin announced on 3/5/2008!
A month later (4/16/08), while in Texas, her water broke. (NOTE: She’d have been about 36 weeks along here, which is the cut-off point for some airlines.) There is talk of a 4 a.m. phone call with the doctor in Alaska, presumably to discuss Sarah’s water having broken.
Be aware that this was a higher-risk pregnancy to begin with, considering Sarah’s age and the fact that she was carrying a special-needs baby.
Did she go to the hospital to get checked out?
No.
With pre-term labor evident, in a higher-risk pregnancy, she did not do this. (Some have tried to say that a woman who’s already had 4 babies knows her body — but most women will actually tell you that each pregnancy is different, and that time spent in labor decreases with deliveries subsequent to the first.)
What DID she do?
She went to this convention, while having contractions, and gave a speech. Nobody seems to have noticed that she was 8 months pregnant.
OK, so, speech over, did she go to a hospital to get checked out?
No.
What DID she do?
She drove out to DFW Airport to board a plane for Seattle, where she connected to another flight to Anchorage.
A check on Orbitz.com shows this one-stop itinerary to take anywhere from 9.5 hours to over 12 hours. That doesn’t include wait time or travel to the airport.
OK, so she makes it to Anchorage. What does she do THEN?
Well, instead of going to a hospital that has a neonatal intensive care unit (remember, she’s in labor pre-term, and the baby has Down Syndrome), she drives an hour to the small town of Palmer to Mat-Su Regional Hospital where she has influence. And voila! Baby born at 6:30 AM on 4/17/08 by long time friend, Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson (who also delivered 7 y/o Piper).
Was the baby’s arrival listed on the hospital’s web site, along with all the other deliveries?
No.
Sarah Palin says her doctor was an “expert”. OK. So, an expert in obstetrics and gynecology — which are the experts who monitor pregnancies and deliver babies — is an OB/GYN. Was Sarah Palin’s expert — for this pre-term delivery in an already higher-risk pregnancy — an OB/GYN?
No.
Was the doctor listed on the Mat-Su Regional Medical Center directory a few days ago?
Yes.
Is she listed there now?
No.
Has anyone seen a copy of the birth certificate of Trig Palin?
Not that anyone knows.
Was Bristol Palin out of school for the five months previous to the birth of Trig Palin? And was also living with Sarah’s sister at the same time?
Yes.
Why was she out of school?
Supposedly for mono, which she quickly overcame immediately after the birth and became pregnant. (Again?)
WHERE IS THAT BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
Dr. Cathy Baldwin-Johnson: Long time friend of Sarah Palin. MAYOR Palin nominated Baldwin-Johnson for 2001 “Family Physician of the Year” award. Appointed to Palin’s administration, by Palin, May 8th, 2007 Commissioner to Health Care Strategies Council.

Cut it by 25%??? To save who? Who gets that money? Obama and Barney Frank and Pelosi and a 2nd bailout? Come on! We need to win the war and take back our jobs.

WELFARE——
ttp://online.wsj.com/article/———
For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase tax credit. Mr. Obama is proposing to create or expand no fewer than seven such credits for individuals.Here’s the political catch. All but the clean car credit would be refundable, which is Washington-speak for the fact that you can receive these checks even if you have no income-tax liability. In other words, they are an income transfer — a federal check — from taxpayers to nontaxpayers. Once upon a time we called this welfare,

MCCAIN WARNS OF SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS BACK IN 2005—
January 2005-July 2006
Sen. Hagel, with Sens. Sununu and Dole, and later Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., re-introduced legislation to address GSE regulation.
According to the Wall Street Journal, “The bill prohibited the GSEs(FANNIE/FREDDIE) from holding portfolios, and gave their regulator prudential authority (such as setting capital requirements) roughly equivalent to a bank regulator. In light of the current financial crisis, this bill was probably the most important piece of financial regulation before Congress in 2005 and 2006.”

GREENSPAN WARNS OF SUBPRIME MORTGAGE CRISIS—2005/2006——-
Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan testified that the size of GSE(FANNIE/FREDDIE) portfolios “poses a risk to the global financial system. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to bail out the lenders (GSEs) . . . should one get into financial trouble.” He added, “If we fail to strengthen GSE regulation, we increase the possibility of insolvency and crisis. . . . We put at risk our ability to preserve safe and sound financial markets in the United States, a key ingredient of support for homeownership.”
Greenspan warned that if the GSEs “continue to grow, continue to have the low capital that they have, continue to engage in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios, which they need to do for interest rate risk aversion, they potentially create ever-growing potential systemic risk down the road. . . . We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk.”

WHY DIDN’T CONGRESS ADDRESS ISSUE THAT MCCAIN AND GREENSPAN WARNED ABOUT BACK IN 2005/2006???—-
“If that bill had become law, then the world today would be different,” according to Bloomberg News Service. “But the bill didn’t become law for a simple reason: Democrats opposed it on a party-line vote in the committee, signaling that this would be a partisan issue.
“Republicans, tied in knots by the tight Democratic opposition, couldn’t even get the Senate to vote on the matter. That such a reckless political stand could have been taken by the Democrats was obscene even then.”

MCCAIN TRIES AGAIN TO HELP CONGRESS UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM OF GSE’S—-
May 2006—-
McCain addresses the Senate: “Mr. President, this week Fannie Mae’s regulator reported that the company’s quarterly reports of profit growth over the past few years were ‘illusions deliberately and systematically created’ by the company’s senior management.
“Fannie Mae used its political power to lobby Congress in an effort to interfere with the regulator’s examination of the company’s accounting problems. . . . OFHEO’s report solidifies my view that the GSEs need to be reformed without delay.
“If Congress does not act,” McCain said, “American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.”

don’t get me wrong i’m not voting for her. her klan rallies are a real turnoff. she is consummately unqualified and a divider. her core constituence is what grows underneath the bottom of the barrel.
i am an Obama supporter and hear very nothing from his campaign demanding her records. there are issues more serious.

Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is the best future leader for this nation, not Senator Barak Obama. Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is also would be better at leading our nation in the future after a McCain Presidency than Senator Barak Obama would be in leading our nation in the future starting in January 2009. There are great reasons our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin would be a better future leader than Senator Barak Obama. The greatest reason for our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin’s is ideology. Our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is conservative in that she is pro life, marriage, guns, low taxes, low government spending, small government, unintrosive government, traditional and judeo Christian values, Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, and military spending.She is also pro free and private enterprize. Senator Barak Obama is a liberal who is anti every thing that I have described that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is pro about or for. A second reason that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is superior is because of experience. As a governor she has two years of executive administrative governing experience that Senator Barak Obama does not have. A final reason that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is superior is because of political accomplishments. When our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin came to office she accomplished 3 major things which are as follows: she showed great leadership in the 3 following areas: government reform, the state budget and the economy, and wise use of natural resources. She reformed government by standing up to the big oil companies by breaking up the monopoly on power and resources. She insisted on competition and basic fairness which ended the control that the oil companies had on the state, and thereby returning control of the state back to the people. She also stood up to the special interest and lobbyist, and produced major ethics reform. She lead well in the state budget by generating a surplus which came about by vetoing a half billion dollars of wasteful spending, ending the abuses of earmark spending by congress, and by getting rid of the private jet, the chef, and the chuffer. Economically under her leadership she brought about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. She also suspended the state fuel tax, and when oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, she sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged – directly to the people of Alaska . On natural resources she has shown great leadership by beginning a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. When the last section of the pipeline is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart. Senator Barak Obama has done nothing, so please vote John McCain for President and give to our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin the opportunity that she deserves leading the nation into the future after a John McCain presidency. When our soon to be Vice President does lead the nation as President after a John McCain presidency,she will be the greatest President that we have ever had. Finally she is smarter than Senator Barak Obama
Thank You
John Warren

Let’s not pretend the purpose of this board is to talk about Sarah’s medical records. It is to spin a story and try to attach importance to a story where there is none. You are trying to create a “distraction” from the real issue of Obama’s illegal alien aunt and uncle living in Boston.–An aunt who was told to leave the country, but didn’t . Although she did give campaign contributions to him and attend his swearing in ceremony a few years ago.

Obama Camp Releases Doctor’s Report
by Bonney Kapp
Far from the hundreds of pages of medical records provided to the McCain press corps for several hours, Barack Obama’s campaign released a note from his doctor that deemed him in “excellent health.”
The 46-year-old works out regularly, recently quit smoking, and appears to take on a grueling schedule with relative ease – and lest we forget, Obama was dubbed one of the nation’s 25 fittest guys this month according to Men’s Fitness magazine.
Last week when McCain released his medical records, Obama was asked if the elder candidate’s age will be a factor in this election. “He is campaigning actively all across the country. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health – I don’t think it should be an issue in the campaign,” Obama told reporters.
Read the doctor’s note after the jump.
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Note: Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/01/AR2008110102082.html?nav=rss_email/components
Here’s the Bottom Line….Live with it
Barack Obama and the Democrats hold a commanding position two days before Tuesday’s election, with the senator from Illinois leading in states whose electoral votes total nearly 300 and with his party counting on significantly expanded majorities in the House and Senate.
John McCain is running in one of the worst environments ever for a Republican presidential nominee. The senator from Arizona has not been in front in any of the 159 national polls conducted over the past six weeks. His slender hopes for winning the White House now depend on picking up a major Democratic stronghold or fighting off Obama’s raids on most of the five states President Bush won four years ago that now lean toward the Democrat. He also must hold onto six other states that Bush won in 2004 but are considered too close to call.
Two factors cloud the final weekend projections. The first is how voters ultimately respond to the prospect of the first African American president in U.S. history, a force that could make the contest closer than it appears. The other, which pushes in the opposite direction, is whether Obama can expand the electorate to give him an additional cushion in battleground states.
Big Note: Obama leads in every state that Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry won four years ago, which gives him a base of 252 electoral votes of the 270 needed to win. He also has leads of varying sizes in five states Bush won: Iowa, New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. Were he to win all of those on Tuesday, he would claim the presidency with 291 electoral votes.
Bigger Note: The tossup states include traditional battlegrounds such as Ohio, Florida and Missouri, as well as North Carolina, Indiana and Montana, which have been firmly in the Republican column in the past. They account for 87 electoral votes, and if Obama were to win several of them, his electoral vote total could push well into the 300s.

To those going on and on about Obama’s birth records,etc. Have you forgotten that he is a United States Senator? Do you really think that all Presidential Candidates are NOT vetted out by government agencies. Do you think that you are so crafty and clever that you are thinking of something that the CIA, FBI, NSA, Dept of Homeland Security, Secret Service and all the US National Intelligence hasn’t thought of. Wow. I wonder how they operate without your brainpower. As a United States Senator, Obama would already have a certain level of Security clearance. I think you people can take a break now. These are non-issues and you are just embarassing yourselves.

If she has nothing to hide then where are the medical records. Did the Republican forget how to lose them? Maybe Palin had a problem with drugs, maybe she got some stolen drugs from McCain’s wife, Cindy? Who knows. Maybe Palin has cancer and will pass away before even old man McCain? Who knows, but you can’t trust people who hide their records. I’m voting for Obama – Biden and all the Democrats for a positive change!

I wouldn’t get too far on my high horse on the birth certificate issue. Allegedly McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone before there was a law that stated that was an acceptable birth location for a U.S. President. There was a lawsuit to that effect in New Hampshire earlier this year.

Wow!! 11 whole days and still no sight of Governor Palin’s medical records. On the other hand, voters are going to the polls to elect an illegal immigrant and an admitted crack user who provided a 1 page summation of his “medical records”. It is an undisputed fact that the media withheld crucial information concerning the true medical conditions of both FDR and JFK that would easily have prevented the election of either man to the office of president. JFK had Addison’s disease and he was in constant pain from a back injury. It is now known he took a large quantity of uppers in addition to the drugs prescribed by his doctors.
Zero has used several other names in his life including: Barry Soetoro, Barry Dunham, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein, and his current favorite, Barack Obama. Gee, maybe he has medical records under another name that are still undisclosed. We do know that he claimed he had never used any other names on his Illinois State Bar Association application.
Obama has still not released his original Certificate of Birth, his academic records, or documentation proving he regained his US citizenship and surrendered his Indonesian citizenship. For all those who don’t know, Obama/Soetoro traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport in 1981. Americans were not welcome in Pakistan in 1981.
Since he has admitted to having Kenyan citizenship as a child, on what basis did he come to have citizenship in Kenya? After all, we are expected to believe he was born in Hawaii. Sorry, not ready to “move on” until I have my questions answered to my satisfaction.
My question to Katie Snow, who authored this vile piece of excrement, is why she is more concerned about Trig Palin than she is about what Barack Obama. Obama, with the help of the major media outlets and the State of Ohio, is trashing a private citizen, Joe the Plumber, simply for asking him a question? Who’s next, Tito the Builder?

Obama’s is different for 2 reasons: 1)His mother was not the age of majority when he was born & possibly did not live in the U.S. for the required amount of time after the age of 14 for Obama to be conferred citizenship. 2) When his mother married the Indonesian man, Barack had Indonesian citizenship. The U.S. and Indonesia did not have a dual citizenship agreement at the time, so therefore, Obama was no longer a U.S. Citizen (if he was ever one in the first place).

Obama supporters love to carry on about records. Remember all of the commotion about Hillary’s tax returns, when your own guy had not released his? BO released a one page report. If anyone on here claiming that the baby is Bristol’s knew half as much as they think they do, they would realize what a case study she would be. Do any of you know what the condition is that the baby was born with? Down’s Syndrome. Do any of you know how drastically the chances of it occurring increases with the age of the mother, especially a mother over the age of thirty five and definitely over the age of forty? And do you know how low the instance is of it with a teenage mother? You would not know if the baby is Bristol’s without releasing her medical records, as her mother’s medical records would not show whether or not the teenage daughter had given birth. If it were me, I would intentionally NOT release the records. It gives the Obamabots something to occupy their minds with, sitting around spinning conspiracy theories. She’s the Govenor and mother of five children, from a special needs infant to a grown child in the Army. There couldn’t be a lot wrong with her. She certainly doesn’t smoke like a freight train nor has she had two brain surgeries. Oh, wait. You’re not CONCERNED about her health. You just want some juicy gossip.

It has to be something crushing that would totally sink the campaign, if not, why not release them! Just another cover up by the party that likes the rich and supports lies. So much for that new form of transparency she was talking about bringing to Washington. Just a one page letter would please me like Obama did. Pack your new $150,000 wardrobe up as a consolation prize. Your 15 minutes are up!

Obama Camp Releases Doctor’s Report
by Bonney Kapp
Far from the hundreds of pages of medical records provided to the McCain press corps for several hours, Barack Obama’s campaign released a note from his doctor that deemed him in “excellent health.”
The 46-year-old works out regularly, recently quit smoking, and appears to take on a grueling schedule with relative ease – and lest we forget, Obama was dubbed one of the nation’s 25 fittest guys this month according to Men’s Fitness magazine.
Last week when McCain released his medical records, Obama was asked if the elder candidate’s age will be a factor in this election. “He is campaigning actively all across the country. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health – I don’t think it should be an issue in the campaign,” Obama told reporters.
Read the doctor’s note after the jump.
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Note: Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

ellsbells930… like I said where’s your proof? And as far as I’m concerned Universal Suffrage is 18 years old. And I’m not launching personal attacks, I’m stating the obvious. The media have saw his birth certificate, the “REPUBLICAN” governor of Alaska even saw Obama’s records. No one is pushing this except for right wing nuts.

Posted by: Matteroffacts | November 2, 2008, 6:21 pm 6:21 pm

Your’e right ellsbells930 this is whats required:
at least 30 years old.
a U.S. citizen for at least nine years at the time of election to the Senate.
a resident of the state one is elected to represent in the Senate.
My statement was He’s a United States Senator…The FBI,CIA, National Security Office checked him out long ago….If there was any doubt don’t you think one of these goverment agencies would bring it to light…..Obviously it just makes people making the claim he’s not a US citizen look like morons.

The reason for the delay in releasing Hockey Mom’s medical record may lie in the fact that it may reveal that she had not given birth recently. And the child with down syndrome is really that of her teen-age daughter’s child as some reports have suggested.

If Palin had nothing to hide she would release the medical records. We believe Trig is the child of her 14 year old daughter Willow

Posted by: burton | November 2, 2008, 6:41 pm 6:41 pm

No, not Willow. The older one Bristol, who was out of school 5 months for “mono” during the last months of her mother’s “pregnancy”. Bristol, the girl who is pregnant now- who has been made conveniently “5 months” pregnant to rule her out for being Trig’s real mother. There were even rumors in Alaska before SP became the VP pick that this might be the case.

Why don’t you people worry about the fact that the ugly black man is unable to supply a birth certificate to prove he was born in the US. There is a tape of his paternal Grandmother saying he was born in Kenya and she was in the delivery room at the time of his birth. I think this is a far bigger problem. Sarah looks the picture of health to me.

What does Sarah have to hide? It’s starting really make me believe all those rumors about her baby actually being that of her daughter’s.

Renegade Ray – but being a Naturalized Citizen and a Natural Born Citizen are TWO VERY DIFFERENT things. If he was an Indonesian citizen, then he couldn’t be a U.S. Citizen (at the time it occurred – although if a child went through the same thing today, they could be) – therefore, he is not eligible to be President, but he could still be a Senator.

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 2, 2008, 7:05 pm 7:05 pm

WoW- Ugly black man Now HuH? Your thoughts and comments are far more ugly than any one in this campaign except the shrunken apple faced McCain. Racism is even uglier than that. Since your such a “Man” post your home phone number and Home address so all the “Ugly People” can come by and have a face to face. No, that would take a real Man and your obviously a COWARD !

Posted by: val | November 2, 2008, 7:16 pm 7:16 pm

Matteroffacts – the legal age of majority in the U.S. at the time of Obama’s birth was 21. That is a fact, no matter what your opinion is of the age of majority. He also traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport. In order to do that he couldn’t be an American citizen according to the laws at that time. And you did make a personal attack when you said I was nuts.

Renegade Ray – have any of those agencies come out and said that he IS eligible? No. Because there is nothing they can do about it until (or if) he is elected. It is not against the constitution for him to run, just to serve. And NONE of my statements were untrue. Look them up. (And by the way..are you calling Obama’s grandmother a liar? She states unequivocally that she attended his birth in Kenya).

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 2, 2008, 7:31 pm 7:31 pm

Not a personal statement, objective truth… Still waiting on that proof. By the way, when Obama’s mom went to Indonesia, she was older than 21.

These records will never be released. She is just stalling until after election day. She certainly isn’t going to let us know that Trig is Bristols baby and not hers!

To ellsbells930, zuzi, chattyway and all the other idiots that question Obama’s birth certficate (or supposed lack of one):
“From the Associated Press:
State declares Obama birth certificate genuine
2 days ago
HONOLULU (AP) — State officials say there’s no doubt Barack Obama was born in Hawaii.
Health Department Director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said Friday she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama’s original birth certificate.
Fukino says that no state official, including Republican Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama’s certificate be handled differently.
She says state law bars release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who does not have a tangible interest.
Some Obama critics claim he was not born in the US.
Earlier Friday, a southwest Ohio magistrate rejected a challenge to Obama’s citizenship. Judges in Seattle and Philadelphia recently dismissed similar suits.”

Sarah…for God’s sake….please put your family and children FIRST……my own mother was career driven and to this day I see how much she missed from my childhood. You have plenty of time in later years to pursue your OWN personal ambitions!! Your campaign is COUNTRY FIRST…how about FAMILY FIRST….especially Trigg and your youngest daughter. Also, you have an older daughter that is going to NEED you in the following months…..be there for her…you will never be able to replace those moments……I KNOW.

Ok I am dumbfounded that someone would even make a comment like this.Can we say sexism . Where have you been ? Millions of women work everyday and still manage their families. Millions of single parent women work everyday and mange their families . So I ask you what is the big deal ??????? Sarah Palin has a husband who helps her and there is no fault in that !!! I never hear anyone telling Barak Obama to put his family first he has 2 little girls how is he going to manage ??? If we went on your theory alone John McCain and Joe Biden would be the only 2 capable of managing because they don’t have young children . So get real this is America and Men and Women can both handle jobs and families .

Response to John: John I thought the same thing that maybe Governor Palin has had an abortion. Orrrrrrrr maybe that last baby “AIN’T HER BABY” maybe that last people that she carries around like a rag doll is her daughters FIRST pregnancy…….Hmmmmmmmm the plot thickens!!!!

In Obama’s defense him not providing a birth certificate stating the he wasn’t born in the US is one thing…… But, Governor Palin standing in front of the American people presenting herself as some moralist is another. Especially with a 17 year old daughter who is pregnant is this the first, second, or ??????? time. Say’s a lot about her good American fiberage, and her strong family values now doesn’t it. Me’s thinks I smell a rat!!!!

If you all are so curious about her medical records why are not concerned over Obamas records ???? We know nothing about this man .He has not released his Transcripts , who paid for his college the only thing we can clearly say we know about this man is he has a standard answer of “I didn’t know” or “they are just trying to distract you ” So you wanna make a big deal of Palins records well make a big deal about Obamas records .Where I sit Obama has more in his past to hide than Palin .

She is presenting herself has if her hands are clean…….Are they???? That’s all we are asking are her hands squeaky clean. If so then she might be able to throw couple stones, if not let us please stop with her redrick and cut to the chase and that would “THE ECONOMY”.

Posted by: Mgck22459 | November 2, 2008, 8:20 pm 8:20 pm

Personally I don’t think the choice of Governor Palin was a well thought out plan….I think it was a last efforts ditch by the Republicans to catch Hillary sympathizers. Well being a Hillary supporter myself I was insulted by their choice…..what a joke! At least someone should have properly informed her the ways of politics. Or did a further investigation of her life and/or lifestyle especially if she is suppose to be a representation for American woman…what an insult!!! Hillary Clinton would chew her up and spit her out….. You can put pretty, expensive, clothing on a rag doll but, if they don’t have it the clothes won’t make a difference.

Posted by: Mgck22459 | November 2, 2008, 8:42 pm 8:42 pm

Hellsbells, you are quite mistaken. There are 3 ways to be an American citizen:
-1) To be a “natural born” American citizen, you must be born in one of the 50 states. It is not required that either of your parents be an American citizen, not even that they be legally residing in the country.
-2) To be an American citizen by birth, you must have at least one American parent and be declared within a week of your birth to either the county (US) of your birth, or the American consulate in the foreign country.
This makes Barack Obama both a natural born American citizen (born in Hawaii) and an American citizen by birth (his mother was an American citizen at the time he was born. Whether she lived the whole rest of her life abroad is a) irrelevant to the status of her US born child, b) wouldn’t not have made her less of a US citizen, unless she opted to become a naturalized citizen of that foreign country).
This makes John McCain an American citizen by birth (his parents were American citizens), but not a natural born citizen, since he was born in Panama (and that’s NOT one of the 50 states). He was granted the permission to claim that status only by an act of Congress AFTER his birth (post facto laws are not per say constitutional (art 1-2) and can be invalidated by the Supreme Court at any time).
-3) The third way to be a US citizen is through naturalization. I and Arnold the “governator” share this as well as the fact that, unless the constitution is amended, we will never be eligible to become president.
Was this clear? It’s the level of knowledge of the US constitution required of an immigrant who want to become an American citizen, but it seems that it’s far above the level of knowledge of many a natural born American citizen. How disheartening that they alone hold so much power over the destiny of the country.

akskimo- And I already stated that isn’t good enough for me. I want to SEE the proof. And the personal attacks don’t do much for your credibility (and yes, calling people ‘idiots’ is a personal attack). It’s nice that you can on blind faith accept it, but I can’t. This is too important to just take someone’s word for it.

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 2, 2008, 8:56 pm 8:56 pm

Oh – and as for Hawaii stating that only those who have a tangible interest can see the birth records.. don’t you think that EVERY citizen of this country has a tangible interest in knowing whether this man is eligible to serve as President? And why did Kenya seal their records until after the election if there is NOTHING there?

ellsbells930…Do you not have faith in McCain? I would bet the farm that if he thought that was remotely true, he, or his aides, would be all over it and he wouldn’t have to resort to calling Obama names, etc. as Obama would be out of it and McCain would have the election in the bag. Have you seen everyone else’s (McCain, Palin, Biden)original birth certificate? If so where?

Posted by: akskimo | November 2, 2008, 9:06 pm 9:06 pm

ellsbells930…..in Alaska, and I’m sure most states, you cannot see or get a copy of a birth certificate unless your name is on it somewhere (mother, father, child), or you have a legal Power of Attorney for one of those people. That is apparently true for Hawaii as well.

Posted by: akskimo | November 2, 2008, 9:13 pm 9:13 pm

Obama being American doesn’t even seem to be the big issue anymore. America is B R O K E!!!!! No money,no gold to back currency, you’re just printing paper. I don’t think we as Americans understand what the stock market really and truly means…… This is now deeper than Obama’s birth records….it is deeper than the mortgage problems… When banks go under you loose, when you have to keep finding ways to stimulate the economy…you’ve lost!! It’s not about America anymore because America has nothing to barter with. You are naked, broke, and exposed all your weaknesses are now out there for the World to see and you have made quite a few enemies. The decline of your currency has nothing to do with America it is the doubt that now other countries have in us that is flowing through the stock market….. Bush had you under the impression that you were a super power that everyone needed you…..maybe now you’ll see we were just super stupid…You can thank Bush for that too he gave us a freebie…..

Posted by: Mgck22459 | November 2, 2008, 9:25 pm 9:25 pm

There certainly would appear to be something that someone wants to keep from the general public.
We do have every right to make sure our leaders are in good health and are not hiding anything.
One does a health check in most jobs, this should be no exception!
Americans, by and large are a forgiving lot, just as long as we are told the truth.
Lying or attempting to keep something from the public, congers up anything and everything,so, it would be to your advantage to just release them.
GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK!!

Apparently the rumors were true all along. Sarah Palin never carried this last child. This is Bristol’s baby.

Her medical records would contain NO record of her last pregnancy…the pregnancy that went completely unnoticed by the Alaska people.

Posted by: JW-FLA | November 2, 2008, 10:00 pm 10:00 pm

O.K. I am reverting back to one of my previous post on this page. To those that speak without the facts.
DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE SPEAKING OR TYPING.
If their are no facts yet make logical assumptions not far fetched ones or none at all.
First off as I said before, Palin (although its her right to keep her records confidential) had agreed to release something and has released nothing. PERIOD. Don’t tell me you’ll do something and not do it (thus without justified and logical reasons).
Second, those posting about Obama’s medical record (or summery report). At least Obama provided something rather then nothing and without a run around.
As for Hawaii and Kenya sealing documents. A) Hawaii stated they sealed his birth certificate / birth records. B)Kenya only stated sealing records (from what I have read).
Therefore Kenya (thus far) did not state birth records and stated Obama’s records which their are two a SR (dad) and a JR (son). So the records sealed there could be anything and on either or both Obama’s.
Also it is possible that Barack Obama Jr. had duel citizenship as a child under his parents wishes (which would be out of his control).
As for his Aunt, ahh hello!!!, red folder matter aka ethical issue had he gotten involved and if he even knew.
We do not know how close he is to her for one. Two, he may not have known her status (probably did not want to know) and left it in the hands of that part of the government.
Those who assume he knew must think everyone spills their dirty laundry at their family events.
Also note he was a Senator for Illinois not New York.
So back to the facts on the true topic at hand. Why has Palin stated she would release records and has not. Why the run a round. She is the only 1 of 4 who hasn’t submitted anything (letter or full records) on this matter.
If she can’t comply with her own agreements in respect to her records, how can we be sure she will comply at all in the White House?
Think and react logically and responsibly thats what you want your next president to do right?

Posted by: akskimo | November 2, 2008, 10:31 pm 10:31 pm

Palin should not release all her medical records. She should release a statement from her doctor as to the condition of her health, no details.
I believe the posters and Ms. Snow are no more than voyeuristic political enemies of Governor Palin.

Get Real stated, “First off as I said before, Palin (although its her right to keep her records confidential) had agreed to release something and has released nothing. PERIOD. Don’t tell me you’ll do something and not do it (thus without justified and logical reasons).”
Uhm, does this apply to Obama as well? He DID promise to accept public funding for the election and then go back on that promise. McCain kept his word and even had to joke about it on SNL.
Your double standard is not a viable argument and would lose you a debate even in high school much less a public forum such as this.

As far as her medical records go, personally I think she’d have been fine to say she wasn’t going to release them for privacy reasons. But, she said she was going to release them, hence should. And to those asking for Obamas, I haven’t heard any questions related to his medical records. Palins, there are some obvious questions.

Promise keeper: Who said who I support first off, secondly I never said anything about Obama always being in the right not the McCain camp always being in the wrong. Sounds like you quickly jump to a conclusion of your own.
But I am glad you brought the funding topic up because I have an option on that.
Yes, Obama went against what he said regarding public funding. In this case there is nothing wrong with that. Before you jump to any more conclusions please read on.
Being president is not just a public services it is a job and the government is a business. In every business you can’t always go the same route you proposed prior due to changing factors. If all business people stuck by every word they said (in a conference for example) and not factor in changes either in their business, clients, economy, etc since they made that statement(s) then their business could be a failure.
A good business person adapts at times change and takes advantages of better deals as they come along.
When Obama made that statement (in essay form) he was looking a the present and future as far as he could see it. When he saw a more beneficial and more promising option that was doable he went that route instead.
His campaign has been 10 + times better off by the choice he made. He made a great business decision and pulled it off too. Can you really blame him for that.
Personally I’d rather have a president that will re-review a situation before acting on prior statements made in the matter. It shows he / she willing to explore options (in hopes for better results). It’s called being smart not stubborn.
Isn’t that what a leader is suppose to do and can you even argue this point?

The only issue I have is that they said they would release the records and have not. There is value in keeping your word. All of the comments about Obama’s releasing a single page, or the extent of McCain’s record don’t matter to me but keeping your word speaks to your integrity. It may be something as minor as that she takes medication for ADDD. Some of her people noted that she does not seem interested in staying focused or tracking to details. One said that she just doesn’t stay focused.

she never told anyone that they would be released on such and such day at such and such time. she said she would release them. when she does is her business not the peanut galleries.

Obama releases a one page medical summary and they call it his records. He won’t release his because he doesn’t want people to know he is a heavy smoker.

Obama Camp Releases Doctor’s Report
by Bonney Kapp
Far from the hundreds of pages of medical records provided to the McCain press corps for several hours, Barack Obama’s campaign released a note from his doctor that deemed him in “excellent health.”
The 46-year-old works out regularly, recently quit smoking, and appears to take on a grueling schedule with relative ease – and lest we forget, Obama was dubbed one of the nation’s 25 fittest guys this month according to Men’s Fitness magazine.
Last week when McCain released his medical records, Obama was asked if the elder candidate’s age will be a factor in this election. “He is campaigning actively all across the country. His doctors have given him a clean bill of health – I don’t think it should be an issue in the campaign,” Obama told reporters.
Read the doctor’s note after the jump.
DAVID L. SCHEINER, M.D.
Hyde Park Associates in Medicine, Ltd.
1515 East 52nd Place, Chicago, IL 60615
To Whom It May Concern:
I am David L. Scheiner, a board certified general internist licensed to practice in the State of Illinois. I am on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center. I have been Senator Barack Obama’s primary care physician since March 23, 1987. The following is a summary of his medical records for the past 21 years.
During that period of time, Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.
His family history is pertinent for his mother’s death from ovarian cancer and grandfather who died of prostate cancer. His own history included intermittent cigarette smoking. He has quit this practice on several occasions and is currently using Nicorette gum with success.
Senator Obama’s last medical checkup was on January 15, 2007; he had no complaints. He exercised regularly often jogging three miles. His diet was balanced with good intake of roughage and fluids. A complete review of systems was unremarkable. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 90/60 and pulse 60/minute. His build was lean and muscular with no excess body fat. His physical examination was completely normal.
Note: Laboratory studies included triglycerides of 44(normal under 150), cholesterol 173 (normal under 200), HDL 68 (normal over 40), and LDL 96 (normal under 130). Chem 24, urinalysis and CBC were normal, PSA was 0.6, very good. An EKG was normal.
In short, his examination showed him to be in excellent health. Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the Office of President.
Sincerely,
David L. Scheiner, M.D.

Guess what that statement is a summery of his records and is placed in his medical folder so yeah it is a part of his records.
Who cares if any of the candidates smoke, thats their choice and as long as they don’t promote it to my kids, smoke around my kids or make it easier for my kids to buy smokes, who cares?
A lot of people smoke and drink and guess what, so do politicians.

Posted by: Grissom | November 2, 2008, 11:59 pm 11:59 pm

Diehard: Obama released what was required of him – a medical summary. Done. Where is Sarah’s? That’s the issue. She only needs to provide a summary, as Obama has done – why is this so hard for her to organise? The ignorance of people like yourself is a big part of why Obama is so popular. The man produces a birth certificate – you don’t believe it’s real. He produces the medical documentation required of him – you say it isn’t enough. You go as far as to suggest that he is ‘hiding’ something – after he produces the required information!!! There’s no reasoning with people when all they say is “It isn’t true” – “It didn’t happen” and “I don’t believe it” —-and the only ‘proof’ we ever get from you bozo’s is a “wink” and a “nod”. That’s not good enough – not for this blog site, and not for this country. We are better than that – and we are standing up on Nov 4 and electing Obama as the next President of The United States of America.

Dr. Sonjay Gupta, liken the research of files unto a Jig saw Puzzle and that McCain did this on purpose too.
His A!! has Extreme Melanoma cancer and he’s showing Obvious Signs of Progresson of the Disease !!
Thats exactly why the Public will not Vote him in as President of the USA…

Way to go ABC News! I like it. Pressing the candidates for information on their past. That’s Excellent! You’re doing investigative reporting on all of the candidates. Oh wait, what? It’s only the Republicans. What? You don’t care that Barack Obama hasn’t shown his medical records, or his college thesis, or his birth certificate, and you don’t care to talk about his Marxist agenda. Oh, OK. That’s fair and balanced. Oh that’s right, you never claimed to be fair and balanced, that Fox! Sorry, I’ll go back to getting my news from Fox, and you can go back to losing more money.

Sarah Palin is one of the healthiest women I’ve seen in politics. She exudes health. She doesn’t exude intelligence, judegement or integrity, but she does look healthy. Why does she need to release her medical records? I think every woman in America knows why those records haven’t been released. Leave her alone. And what makes anybody think they won’t be fixed by the time they are finallly released? Of course they will be. I’m more worried about her starting a war with Iran before the election is even over.

Posted by: Mara | November 3, 2008, 3:08 am 3:08 am

Who cares about her medical records? The only reason that you Sarah Palin haters want to see her records is to look for something else that you can slam her about! You just want to feed your evil demented minds and find something so that you can say “AHA! I was right! She IS a hypocrite!” I hope when her records are released that there is nothing in them for you to gossip about! That would REALLY burn you up for you to find that she is indeed the mother of all five children, doesn’t have a std, hasn’t had any abortions, or a sex change or any of the other ridiculous things that you’ve been saying! You would then have to admit that all of that stuff is just something that you’ve made up in your demented imaginations! In fact, judging from your comments on these blogs, I think that’s what most of you do all day! You just sit and make up evil sick things in your minds!

akskimo – Obama has the power to have the birth certificate released. HE has the power to end the questions & he has NOT! That tells me that there is something there. You yourself said that no one can access them except the parents or child – so HOW would McCain’s people do anything about this? And NO, I don’t have faith in McCain – but I am voting for him because there is NO way I can vote for someone as liberal as Obama. If I did not live in one of the battleground states, I would be voting for Barr. At least he still believes in the Constitution. IF Obama is elected, we will not recognize our country when he is done with it. And that scares me to death.

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 3, 2008, 6:22 am 6:22 am

Hey Liberachi – Obama’s medical records have been released and so has the birth certificate – No doubt a republican who can’t think of anything new to say other than the same old rhetoric. Just an FYI – Palin’s records have not been released because they don’t want anyone to know that she is an alien and can’t quite grasp how to not speak in tongues.

The worse thing I’m expecting to see is that she had a boob job or a face lift. We already know that. The most concerning thing is she simply wont get organised enough to get the doctor to release the records or she simply refuses to follow set protocol. Either way – she loses.

“I think Palin will reveal her medical records when Obama coughs up a REAL birth certificate” …. She should have ‘coughed’ it up by now then, shouldn’t she? Obama’s birth certificate is a matter of public record. Anyone can access it. Even You. You seriously think he doesn’t have one – and you can’t even be bothered checking? Is this what you are saying? How irresponsible is that! Do you lie on your couch with pie in your hand gurgling throw up all day long and expect everyone to do all the work for you? If you think the guy doesn’t have a valid birth certificate – check on it! Think how proud McCain will be when YOU uncover the Fraud of the Millennium! He’ll slap you on the ticket, in between Palin and “Joe”. What a hoot!

Either I celebrate the election of a fine new President and watch with pride as my Nation puts the ghosts of the past behind it – or I get to find out that bottom feeders like yourself are the majority. Either way, I win. I get to put to bed all the doubts I have about what this Country stands for. I’m voting for Obama, but I don’t care what you miscreants have to say about him… Bring it on. Let’s do the count and let’s see. If you are the majority? This country will lose all credibility internationally and domestically, we are on the tipping point anyway. There’ll be no enthusiasm to rebuild with McCain at the helm. No happy rolling up of sleeves. Only the dull knowledge that our nation is full of bigots and idiots – and it’s in a hole. America will sink. At least I will be able to say I tried. You’ll still be looking for Obama’s birth certificate. So we’ll all be happy Carly, wont we? The truth doesn’t frighten me. I just want to know what it is. Bring it on.

“What is amazing to me is that everytime someone asks something of Sarah Palin or says something about Sarah Palin, instead of answering the specific request, there is this launch about Obama.”
Of course! They understand that there is no reasonable case that SP is qualified, hence the only approach is to attack Obama. And if the attacks are discredited, keep repeating them, since there is no reasonable case that SP is qualified. Between her lies, lack of press access, and ethics investigations she’s a horrible candidate. The right wingnuts know this so they attack the dems as their only defense.

There are some real pervs on this blog, like the ones talking about Palin’s breast, etc…Do you not realize how low you Obama supporters have stooped? Obama cannot even prove he is an American citizen. What we do know about Obama is that he has always been a radical and fought against American ways all his life. Michelle was never proud of her country, until Obama became a candidate. We are a mean-spirited nation, but Obama expects to win the presidency. That’s why he pulled all the oval office extravaganza crap. And he did that on your dime, because all of you are going to pay with your money, BUT WORSE THAN THAT WITH YOUR LIBERTY. DEMOCRATS ALWAYS ESPOUSE BIG GOVERNMENT AND MAKE LIFE JUST A CONSTANT HASSLE FOR EVERYONE. IRS, DMV, CHILD PROTECTIVE, OSHA, EPA, FDA, ON AND ON. ITS ALL A BIG MONEY MACHINE THAT MAKES ITS LIVING BY HARASSING AND TAXING YOU. All in the name of PROTECTING YOU. But they cannot and will not ultimately protect you, they will take away your liberties and your ability to protect yourself. THey can’t make our cities safe NO WAY. But they think that they should take your guns away, then only the criminals will have them and bud, let me tell you you are going to need your guns. Gun sales are sky-rocketing. AMERICANS ARE NOT STUPID AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE WAYS OF THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, JUST LIKE IN THE REVOLUTION.

All of you demanding client information from Obama’s law practice should know that, were he to provide such information without the consent of each and every client, it would be a gross violation of professional ethics. Even the identity of a client can be privileged information, and the privilege belongs to the client, not the attorney. Obama can’t even cough up that information under subpoena.

As for Obama’s college thesis, I really don’t understand why we need to see this. It’s a research paper he wrote when he was 22. Chances are he remembers the topic and not much else. A person’s thesis topic isn’t some kind of ideological predictor. The main criteria for picking a thesis topic are: 1) who you can get to be your thesis advisor, 2) what hasn’t been written about by other students recently, 3) what is related to your area of study that you aren’t already sick to death of, and 4) what research materials are realistically available to you. I wrote my senior thesis about Oscar Wilde, and I haven’t become a gay aesthete living in London and writing ironic plays. In fact, I haven’t even read any Wilde since I turned that thing in seven years ago. If Obama’s anything like most college students, he was thinking “good riddance!” when he handed his thesis in. I think my college library has my thesis archived in case I become famous–it’s the property of the college and whether to “release” it is entirely up to them. Obama’s probably in the same boat, only his thesis is far more valuable than mine because he IS famous. Its publication is a potential money-maker for the university, so they’re not likely to just hand it out to curious conspiracy-theorists.

Most Americans do not trust Palin due to her inablity to be honest with the Anerican people – I suspect as most do that there is something in the records that would be a total game changer ruining her career as a republican.
However, without the records there is no proof only doubt – which has been enough for me.
putting palin in the 2nd highest office of the most powerful land in the world is nothing shy of stupid.
How stupid was McSame choosing this woman to gain a few short term points in the polls.
I am tired of republicans same ole’ politics… I’m tired of their fear tactics and mudslinging….They destroyed this country financially and our global creditbility.. now mccain wants to privatize social security, and tax your health benefits… keep the rich getting richer while telling the american people it will trickle down….

So why are the republican pittbulls after Obama’s? We aren’t putting their word in doubt when McCain (who hasn’t seen the inside of a church foe eons) and Palin (who still hunts witches) claim to be Christians, are we? So why are the rebublicans casting Obama as a Muslim? We’re just asking for her to meet the same standards as any other candidate and give us a adequate summary of her medical records. What’s the big deal? Well, whether or not it was a big deal, she won on that one: she’s stalled the records until now and we can bet our shirts, we will never get to see them.

Since Palin is well past McCain and the 2008 election and focused on 2012, she might as well whip out those records now. She looks physically fine, but how about psychologically?

A certificate of health is enough. I am a woman, and I personally would not want the contents of my vaginal exams, cervical dilation, deliveries, etc. to be read by millions of people.
It is the Obama supporters who are vile hypocrites. Obama released a one page report, and failed to produce a number of very important documents, including a legitimate birth certificate.
Also, it only proves how stupid Obama supporters are to suggest Trig is not Sarah’s child. HEY MORONS, DOWN SYNDROME IS USUALLY CAUSED BY OLDER WOMEN GIVING BIRTH. That is why they test for Downs in women over 35. They don’t really suspect it in young women. But Obama supporters aren’t the sharpest tools…well, they may be tools, just not the sharpest.

if obama only needed a letter from the doctor saying he is healthy then that is all Palin needs to show. she is obviously very fit and healthy and she doesnt owe you liberal trolls anything….
I love how ABC is the only news outlet really worried about this. arent you at least a little bit worried about obama’s lack of experience ?????

Sarah is so vain she probably thinks this election is about her…don’t you, don’t you? Given that…I doubt very seriously that Trig isn’t her son, but it is more likely that she has implants or some other plastic surgery. Otherwise, the only other reason to withhold her records might be that she actually had a bout with breast cancer or some other serious condition. One more possibility though…during that long rocky journey toward her BS, pre-Todd, and before she fully developed her current hard core values, maybe she, like many others, found herself pregnant…and maybe she had an abortion that she never told ANYONE about…hmmm…not out of character for her. Nonetheless, she isn’t being very transparent now is she?

I’m going to miss Sarah. She is funny.

If Trig is not Sarah’s baby, then we should admire her for taking him on as her own. She is helping her own daughter, and what is wrong with that? She is a great mother and role model for this country.

Why isn’t the media pushing harder on the medical records? There is something being hidden. While I am not sure I am buying into the theories of the pregnancy cover up, there are alot of things that seem odd. For example, she was 7 months pregnant when she made it public and her staff was even unaware??? Her water broke at 4AM while in Texas, she stayed there to do a speech for a luncheon and then got on a plane to fly back to Alaska (either an 8 or 11 hour flight) and then had the baby back home??? She knew her baby had downs at the time and she wouldn’t rush right to the hospital when her water broke for the safety of her baby??? She said to the Wall Street Journal that she wasn’t going to miss the speech (despite her water having broke)??? Why would she have flown at 8 months pregnant with a special needs baby in the first place??? Why would she fly back to Alaska with her water breaking early knowing she has a special needs baby and that she was 4 weeks early??? None of this adds up. Even if none of this is a coverup as theorized, none of the above is very smart.

Grandma Palin perhaps?

I think there is a lot that is suspect with Palin. Check out this link:
