I, for one, am sick to death of all the hoopla made over the president’s health. If it were any other celebrity, sports figure or leftie-desirable, the story would run something like this:
“How wonderful! Mr. So-and-so doesn’t let anything set him back, but rises above even the most challenging of medical conditions. Rather than retreat to the relative comfort of --- blah-bla-blah-blah-blah. . . So-and so continues his commitment to public service though he must now wear an uncomfortable medical device, etc, etc., etc. blah-bla-blah.”

Why does every American need to know about every time the President sneezes? I think journalists and other mis-focused individuals need to find something USEFUL to do with their time. If the president wants us to know about any health issue he faces, he will let us know. That’s one thing (among others) I like about him. He is his “own” man. He doesn’t let the media push him around. Instead, he stays focused on his job.
