During an interview with Brian Williams on NBC News, Sarah Palin was asked about her medical records and whether or not they will be released.
Palin: "The medical records. 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."

How DARE Brian Williams suggest such a thing to Sarah Saks Pack! All the FOP's* have the right to know if both McCain and her cannot preside, Nancy Pelosi is next in line. FOP's deserve the facts so they will have "something to rest them assured over".

Have you seen Obama's records?

Are you aware that Obama DID NOT release his medical records? His doctor offered a one page summary saying Obama was in good health. I guess that is not a story.. Palin is the big issue today.

Actually Obama's doctor said MORE than that:
Scheiner, on staff at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Rush University Medical Center, said he had been Obama’s doctor for 21 years and that Obama had “been seen regularly for medical checkups and various minor problems such as upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
At the time of last year’s checkup, Obama was exercising regularly and following a balanced diet.
Obama’s blood pressure was 90 over 60 and his pulse rate was 60 beats per minute. His triglyceride level was 44, well under the “normal” threshold of 150; his cholesterol was 173, under the “normal” threshold of 200; his HDL level was 68; and his LDL was 96 – all considered good, Scheiner said.

Well the following is most probably the reason:
1. He's never been hospitalized.
2. He's ONLY 47
3. He exercises daily
4. Since he and his family were of minimal means, he most probably did not go to the doctor unless he was seriously ill.
5. Since his upbringing did not indoctrinate him to go to the doctor on an annual basis, he has most probably has not visited his physician on a regular basis until he turned 45 or so.
6. If his cholesterol is below 200, blood pressure is normal, and standard tests look good, there's no concern.
7. His father died in a car crash. His mother died of ovarian cancer. There's no apparent history of potential disease in the immediate gene pool.
8. Since Barack did not know his father, he has no information as to what medical problems could be passed on to him. But since Barack is apparently healthy, there's no concern.
Basically, he's healthy!!! McCain and Biden have been hospitalized and have encountered serious medical problems... hence, they have records.
Palin is a mother of five children and has been hospitalized at least five times and is more inclined to have an extensive medical record as a result. She has younger and older female siblings whom may have had "problems" such a breast cancer which Palin herself may be at risk of. This is very common. Both of her parents are still living, but we have no information as to what the gene pool provides and I'm certain her medical record would include that information.
