I’m not following you. Obama did, in fact, release his health records. The records total 8 pages, as opposed to the novels that exist for McCain.

If you want to discuss Obama’s positions, then let’s have that discussion. If you want to sensationalize about Obama’s “character”, you can probably find several conservative blogs on the subject.

Everyone takes a vacation, so whats the big deal. Doing it during summer and spending time with his wife and two children (I assume you accept they are his children and that he isn’t gay - there is a smear out that he is gay, of course you wouldn’t agree with that!) is a good thing.
Hillary and Obama had very similar healthcare plans - the main difference was on mandates for adults. No-one outside Kucich and Gravel advocated a single payer (i.e UK) system. So Obama isn`t uniquely bad on this issue and we all saw how healthcare reform worked in 1994!
His health records are out there - he is obviously a very fit person. Whats the issue??

I like to hear and discuss facts. I don’t like false smears obscuring the larger picture of this election.

So, sure, focus on issues that matter: Healthcare for instance. Obama isn’t for universal healthcare. He’s for a privatized system of healthcare, which keeps costs high because everyone is not mandated to pay into the system. His FISA vote alone should be a serious warning to you. He rejected public financing of elections. He weakened legislation for Exelon, which put consumers at risk of nuclear leaching into water supplies in Illinois. He voted for Bush’s pet agenda in the Class Action Fairness Act, which gave even more power to corporations to deny victims just compensation. His record of mendacity is becoming legendary, and his pandering to evangelicals is ludicrous. He is still trying to imply that he actually VOTED on the Iraq War. Now, he has to take a vacation because he’s “tired” from the “toll of the campaign?”

Watch out, the voices are coming for you.

Instead of insulting, maybe you should be willing to listen to a different opinion.

Also Bush has had plenty of holidays - cutting brush at his “ranch”, going to the olympics and playing around with the female beach volleyball team.

The problem with Obama is that people don’t trust him on the right, and people no longer trust him on the left, either. It’s nobody’s fault but his own. He tries not to take a stand on anything, proving only that he has no moral convictions and no policy convictions. His only conviction is that he is the best thing since sliced bread, and that anyone who doesn’t bow down to his annointed-ness will be subject to dismissal. I’m a Democrat. But, I’m not voting for Barry Soetoro or Barack Obama, or whatever his name is this week. He is hiding behind a facade, refusing to release his birth certificate, blocking access to the Annenburg Foundation/Woods Fund records, and he purposefully destroyed his Illinois Senate files. There are questions about what citizenship he has held during his lifetime; he refuses to answer those questions. The American people deserve better. I’m either voting for an independent candidate, or I’m voting for John McCain. The DNC failed my party.

I expected that McCain would catch up with Obama. I don’t believe it will last once the conventions are over.
