That's one factor - the smoking. What about Obama's other risk factors?

Oral health: A window to your overall health
Gum disease can let bacteria enter your bloodstream and wreak havoc elsewhere in your body. Or sometimes, signs of a disease may first show up in your mouth.

I was referring to you telling people to "Google" information.

Obama looks TIRED these days. I have no problem with that considering his schedule.

However, he doesn't look "sickly" and "elderly" like McCain.

Exactly and who wouldn't be tired flying from city to city campaigning for months at a time. I'm sure I would look like death and I'm in my 30's.

Apparently not as "special" as you. So I'll give you a little remedial ("special") education - the correct punctuation for that sentence would be No, I am not; however, your posts on this message board have led me to believe you're very "special."

See you are special. This is a freaking messageboard. Who cares about typing and punctuation? Please go back and hide under McCain's butt.

AHEM. I was replying to your post. If it was not on topic, then the post I replied to wasn't either.

Just because McCain is 72 and has his own teeth, not fake ones, does not mean he has poor oral health or periodontal disease. Again, you're stretching and your obvious desperation is becoming more hilarious each time you post.

Actually, no, I am providing statistical health related information.

Did you take a look at the CDC chart detailing lung cancer deaths by race? Thoughts?

That's not telling people to search posts. They were insisting that the death rate for black men is not twice as high as for white men. I posted a link and told them if they wanted to confirm it they could google it. That way they could prove it to themselves instead of them rejecting whatever I posted a link to.
