McCain Gets Clean Bill of Health
Email
ShareJuly 30, 2008 9:01 AM
ABC News' Bret Hovell Reports: The biopsy from a small piece of skin removed Monday from Sen. John McCain's right temple has tested negative for cancer, according to a statement released by the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
"The biopsy that was performed did not show any evidence of skin cancer," the statement read. "No further treatment is necessary."
McCain recently visited his dermatologist for a regular checkup and the procedure to remove a spot on his right temple was deemed routine for a four-time melanoma survivor.
McCain spent a full day campaigning Monday and Tuesday and expressed no concern about the spot when he was asked Monday.
When asked if his doctor was confident the spot was benign, McCain said: "sure, sure, absolutely."

LACKEY press, ABC. McCain crys (like a whimp) that he "does not get enough press," and NOW the papers have to bore us with things like "McCain's mole is benign" I mean REALLY who gives a s***t one way other other?
The man is a fool PERIOD, and if you "voters" elect him, welll... YOU GET what's coming to you, so don't cry YOU whimps, when you lose MORE of your homes and jobs.

Yes,
McCain is "scarred" by his prisoner of war experience.
No one can or COULD deny that based on the evidence.
The man MAY be sillier than Bush. I DO hope YOU lackeys vote for him. What a fool that guy is, absolutely dumb. The problem is some of YOU voters are more foolish and much more dumber.

I would love it if the press would cover him like he asks to be covered. Word for Word what comes out of his mouth. Make a big deal out of it for more than 3 seconds. Lets see can they do that??? McCain cries the press jumps. just goes to show you who is really running this race.

Great political coverage, but I have two questions:
1. I realized that the media has started using "arrogance" to describe Obama; is this because McCain blasted the media for too close to Obama? this is sad. Just because somebody is confident does not equate to arrogance.
2. I also realized that anytime McCain says something, it does not stick, but when Obama says something, you guys in the media spend days unend dicing and splicing. Is this fair? McCain just flipflopped on taxes, he lied in his ads, and many more, if it were Obama, you guys would have jumped all over him. This is why a recent study suggest that the media gives 72% negative coverage to Obama--this is conspiracy to bring him down.

Seriously... why CAN'T McCain close this deal? He is a well-known war hero who has been on the national stage a long, long time. Why can't he get any traction at all against an "inexperienced" black guy whose middle name is Hussein?
The Reoublican convention should consider offering the nomination to somebody else.

Clean bill of health is good, but the scare still illustrates the age factor for McCain. A vast majority of voters answer "old" when asked to name the first thing that comes to mind on McCain.

Why would anyone vote for this tired, senile, cancer-riddled old man? Because he lived in a cage for five years? That makes him qualified to be president? If this pathetic old coot gets elected, they better start planning his state funeral immediately, since it's clear he is headed for the boneyard.

During the communism times we call this political propaganda. After so many years and so many episodes of all kinds of cancer how McSame the Panamian can get a clean health bill. Let us be serious we are in clinical medicine and anybody who will say that a tumor is healthy is not understanding medicine at all. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.
