Obama Seen by a Doctor for his Hoarse Voice

ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was seen by a doctor while in Keene, New Hampshire last night, to check out his hoarse voice which has plagued him since before the Iowa caucus.
Between 10 and 11pm a doctor visited the Best Western hotel in what the campaign describes as a "precaution" due to the Senator feeling under the weather.
According to the campaign, the doctor determined Obama did not have an infection, and prescribed for him to take a few days off and stop talking.
Just a mere ten hours later, at an 8am rally in Claremont, New Hampshire, Obama addressed the crowd, saying he felt great, but his voice is still hoarse. The prescription? Obama evoked laughter from crowd, "I asked the doctor what he would prescribe and he said 'shut up'!"
Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt says the the doctors prescription is, "Instructions that we've already had to ignore."
Obama heads into a packed day, in the final campaign push before the New Hampshire primary, with four formal events and another anticipated retail stop to tack on.
The campaign says that in the next few days Obama can anticipate a little down time.
But after the primary.

See, I said he's nothing but a handsome face! But will a handsome face save us from terrorists??!!
His voice broke because he probably couldn't stand the pressure of so much pretense. Him and Edwards are like that. Vote for Hillary!!

He shouldn't take a break, he should be made to step down! America is getting irritated by pretense, and empty promises.

It's a shame to see you Hillary worshippers being so hateful towards a guy as nice as Obama. Many of you attack him the same as you would George Bush.
I hope Obama is the dem nominee. If for nothing else, he deserves it for setting a kinder and more civil tone than we've seen in politics for a long time. I hope he and the republican nominee will maintain the same more honorable tone during the general election. That's one change I'm down with for sure! Enough of the angry, attack-based politics already!

Republicans are praying they run against Barack Obama. Barack is a good man, but his lack of experience makes him the easiest Demcratic frontrunner to beat. John Edwards offers a specific paln and will fight the facist corporsations for us. Vote for John Edwards! Don't let the MSM puck our president. Go John, go!!!
