#1 But if it is true...

#2 Aw, come on. I don't wish cancer on someone because they disagree with my political opinions. This is exactly the sort of lack of humanity that leftists display on a daily basis. Are we really like them? WWJD?

#3 Well, if he does, it's damn fortunate that the political class has exempted themselves from government run health care.

#4 How about a trial run through a model of the proposed healthcare system as it would exist 20 years in the future?

#5 TW: unable to do the work and make the decisions necessary?

what a golden out for the one.

"I'll decide what to do in Afghanistan after the next round of chemo is over... if i am not too tired"

i personally hoe he does not. for no reason other than it will make him a glorified martyr for the left. kind of like JFK, but without any of the talent.

#6 Nah, more likely he is stressing out over the job. All of those symptoms listed could be caused by nerves (and it also kind of explains his dithering on Afghanistan, desperate need to have his butt kissed, and his lashing out at people who he thinks have crossed him). It's not that unusual for people to lose their appetites when dealing with anxiety, either.

Sorry, but he looks too good to have cancer, and even if he did, it would be pretty damn hard to hide all of the treatments necessary to deal with it. Besides, PMSNBC and the other bootlickers in the Legacy Media would be falling all over themselves with lugubrious pity pieces if it were true.

#7 My favorite quote with regard to losing weight.

Enjoy:

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff

#8 Two important bits here. The first is that Obama is in the "sky high risk factor" group for lung cancer. Black males are 40% more prone to lung cancer than are white males, and chain smoking black males are almost uninsurable, because of cancer and high blood pressure.

The second, and perhaps more telling, is that the Globe is owned and operated by very close friends of the Clintons.

Roger Altman, Deputy Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton, owns a controlling stake in American Media Inc., which runs five of the tabloids, including the Globe.

Ron Burkle, multi-billionaire, funded the purchase of the tabloids in the run up to the 2008 election, to both support Hillary and to trash McCain and Obama.

So this means first of all that they might have insider information, and want to get the ball rolling to the idea that Obama might have to resign for health reasons, or that he might die in office.

This would make Biden president, and Hillary would pull out all the stops to be made vice president.

#9 'VP Pelosi'...

I suddenly have an urge to go have a 'movement'.

Excuse me...

I wonder what happens if all this plays out after Congress changes hands. So these guys might have a deadline they're facing even if the condition is treatable at the moment without impacting his work performance.

#11 How do we know that he's a chain smoker? From what I've heard, he just sneaks one time to time.

#12 "Nah, more likely he is stressing out over the job."

Yeah ... "This prez shizznit is HARD!"

I wouldn't exactly consider The Globe to be the worlds most authoritative source on anything.

#13 That a US President that IMO acts as a enemy to the United States would be sick enough to not have the energy to continue his work does not upset me.

#14 crosspatch: Take it in the same vein as a Pravda during the Soviet Union. It might be truthy, it might be a complete lie, but it *will* reflect what their masters want to say.

So why do the Clintons want to say this about Obama?

#15 I disagree with Obama on just about everything. But I certainly don't wish lung cancer on him. What I wish on him is a Republican majority Congress in 2010.
