Nope but it stands to reason that a 50 year old black is more likely to die then a 50 year old of another race. Either way I didn't bring this topic into the discussion but I will state the facts just to keep it on an even keel. As someone did point out Dumbo's past and maybe continued drug abuse could be a factor. Id hate to see him have the big one during his concession speech. That would taint a gala celebration.

Do you really want to put Obama's heath, vs McCain's Heath?

It's crazy the number of young folks that were famous that have passed....

The Johnsville News: 50 Famous Americans Who Died While in Their 50's (obviously not 40's)

I think Tony Snow, Bernie Mac and Tim Russert most recently reminded us of this.

1. Are you for real, comparing McCain's health with Obama's? That's like saying the Radiers have a better chance of the Super Bowl this year than the Cowboys. 2. The crediblity of your posts, even though a lot of them have very little, take a big nosedive whenever you call Obama dumbo. Hannity and LImbaugh don't even do that.

Is there a legitimate source for this current alleged drug use of Obama? If not, stop with the libel as none of us are falling for it.

I didn't bring it up, talk to the person that did. I'm just showing statistics.

What part of "maybe" don't you understand? They didn't teach you the full vocabulary or just the condensed version?

Many sources believe Obama is still a heavy user of drugs. He admitted to past drug use.....not a stretch to think he is still a user.

Just look how he will be "up" during a speech one day, and dragging, lethargic, sluggish the next day. Looks like symptons of drug use to many people.

Other then just making it up, show one creditable source, that has proof or even believes he is a abuser?
