From NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico MontanaroThe Obama campaign has released a summary of Obama's health records. This comes almost a week after McCain made his health records available to a handful of reporters.

Bryd - even if he is getting old. &amp;nbsp;They understand Congress's role as a co-equal branch. &amp;nbsp;Gingrich, Tom DeLay and their cronies distorted Congress’s role, by making the highest Republican office holders (Gingrich, DeLay and then Bush and Cheney), the crowned heads of the Republican party. &amp;nbsp;All balance and equilibrium were removed from our government at that time. &amp;nbsp;Everything, including the wars, became a photo op. &amp;nbsp;Having just come from back from Italy a friend told me that in Europe - &amp;nbsp;and even in Italy with its unstable national gov't - give their people a quality of life that Americans cannot even dream about. &amp;nbsp;He found that most Italians that he met felt somewhat sorry for America, but really believed that America was irrelevant to their lives--more like the third world countries of South America. &amp;nbsp;Even the travel ads on TV in Italy were from middle Eastern countries like Dubai, Qatar or Albania, India, Croatia and Turkey. &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is all so sad &amp;nbsp;because we as proud Americans still believe we hold some special position in this world. &amp;nbsp;We don’t seem to any more. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe we can't given how much $$ America is spending per week on this war.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We cannot afford another Republican Administration with Fox News as their propaganda machine. These are people in powerful positions, but they are stupid - &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;which as we have seen - make them very dangerous. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Answerable to no one.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;{Sean Hannity didn’t get his job @ Fox News because he was smart - he got it because he was a good debater in school}. And if you listen to him, you realize right away that he’s just another right wing talking head with no substance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Makes for good tv I guess, regardless of the consequences.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mary Matalin saying last night that Scott McClellan has to go through life as a “liar” now. Mary Matalin -the same woman who worked for one of the most devious corrupt lying SOB’s our government has ever seen - Dick Cheney.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So long Newt. So long Republican Party.</description></item><item><title>Obama health summary</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/29/1076277.aspx#1076327</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 16:24:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1076327</guid><dc:creator>Crazy-4-Obama - Glenwood, IL</dc:creator><description>OBAMA '08 and '12</description></item><item><title>Obama health summary</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/29/1076277.aspx#1076341</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 May 2008 16:26:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1076341</guid><dc:creator>Brian M.

Use discard and throw out. Obamas way to ease his ego with power.Blacks fall in line than to busy canpaigning. He toutes his money but how many states did he outspend Hillary??Only to lose btw.Well glad to hear he is well and hope he keeps track of that cancer.

There must be something hidden in his record for him to allow only some reporters to look at it for a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon just before Memorial day weekend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sounds fishy to me. And the fact that his father died at 70 does not help since male usually die younger than female anyway so the fact that his mother is still alive does not mean squat. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He actually looks older than his beautiful mother when I saw them together. His stiffness didn't help when his mother seems more supple than he is. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a CEO I would NOT hire a person who is older than 70 years old no matter what so the GOP should choose somebody else during their convention.
