Show me your numbers and current data that prove that Obama is more likely to die in office.
Who needs data or proof when you are a Maverick!!

Using the NAIC tables instead, which factor in the fact that Obama has been a smoker for most of his adult life, a non-smoker McCain’s age is still six times as likely to die in the next four years as a smoker Obama’s age.
Yes but McCain smoked for 25 years...2 packs per day...

Not a Dem. You should search my posts and see that since you seem to tell everyone else to do the same. And trust me, I can get much much lower than yellow teeth jokes. It's easiest with these two though.

Where are your numbers showing Obama is more statistically likely to die than McCain?

as crude as the joke was, there is an underlying truth that McCain looks rather elderly and that brings to question his ability to handle the job of the presidency.

Further adding to his troubling appearance lately is the fact the Sarah Palin would be in line should he be unable to serve.

How will he handle the stress of running this country and world events?
Obama didn't look all that healthy a couple days ago either

I didn't tell anyone to search posts. Sorry. The truth is, McCain could well afford to have teeth whiter and faker than Oprah's. Maybe he's just not that superficial. Seems like a silly thing to bring up.
