Former President Barack Obama’s once-longtime doctor said the medical records Joe Biden’s campaign disclosed are concerning and incomplete.“He’s not a healthy guy,” Dr. David Scheiner, who was Obama's personal physician for the 22 years before he became president, concluded after reading the records. “He’s not in bad shape for his age, but I wouldn't say he’s in outstanding health. Could I guarantee he won't have issues for the next four years? He has a lot of issues that are just sort of sitting there.”A three-page letter from Biden’s physician concluded the former vice president is a “healthy, vigorous, 77-year-old” that is fit to be president.

I wouldn't trust an Obama doctor if my life depended on it.

I wonder what prompted Dr. David Scheiner, who was Obama's personal physician for the 22 years to make such a statement without ever examining Biden.
You think Obama may have had something to do with it ?

Obama is signalling that Ole Joe's time is done. He has served his purpose like any other loyal dim prop. Who will claim the mantle of Black Knight for the D-Rat Party? Big Mike, the Duchess of Chappaqua, or will they draft the Gorebot for one more try?

You don't need a doctor to figure that out.

I still say that they want to put Biden in and in case he doesn't make it, his VP will take over. Now, who are they going to put in as VP is the really important question that no one is addressing. I imagine that will be Stacy Abrams or Warren or Hillary. No one likes Kamala.

As #5 says, we don’t need a doctor to know this - all anyone has to to do is read about his aneurysms and partial lobotomies and listen to what he says day to day. The guy’s brain is one synapse away from blowing apart, not to mention the dementia. His nasty reactions to voter’s questions show that he is not mentally stable in the least. And he has lost quite a bit of weight and looks gaunt and frail. All of the recent plastic surgery has only made him look like Max Headroom.
Besides, if psychiatrists can diagnose PDT without every meeting or examining him, why can’t the same be done to Biden? I’d trust this doctor more than any of those shrinks who think they can read PDT’s mind.

Forgot to add - my mother died at age 66 from irregular heartbeat. Caused by high cholesterol which blocked her arteries.

Biden is 'not a healthy guy.’
Biden seems to not know where he is part of the time and also shows other bazaar behavior. I am concerned, if he is elected President, he may be a figurehead. It would be a good idea to give his VP running mate a very close look. That may be who would actually be running the show.

I'm not an MD, but even I can tell that Biden has, at a minimum, serious anger issues, or worse, the beginnings of a nasty case of dementia. This is a man who's skated in election after election essentially unchallenged in a tiny state that is smaller in size and population than all the major cities of the country. When he's asked even a mildly tough question, he's stumped and gets angry. After all the criticism about Hunter's dealings, he still doesn't have an answer when someone asks him about it. This guy will fall apart in the general.

Let him run. He will be easy to beat, and with his propensity for gaffs, he will further harm himself during the campaign.

Doctors or psychiatrists who blab about what a patient may or may not have in public are technically breaking the law. None of these quacks are ever nailed for it. As stated above, Old Joe's problems are known and obvious.

On the Hillary front it doesn’t mention her weight or drinking a fifth of vodka every day.

Apparently primary care physicians and internists don't have a 'Goldwater Rule' as American Psychiatric (not Psychological) Association members do. The two aneurisms and the surgery to correct them did create brain damage, but the brain is quite resilient and rewires. The problem then becomes age. What's interesting in these new reveals on his health is that Biden may have sleep problems and is taking a bunch of meds for his high cholesterol. The meds alone have effects on personality and mental ability. Add to it sleep problems, and Old Joe ought to be enjoying retirement, not running for President.

Can you imagine the outcry if the longtime personal physician of a Republican openly commented on the health (or lack thereof) of one Barack Obama back in 2008?

Obama you can keep your doctor! I'll tell what 'issues' Joe Biden has he's a liar, a braggart, pervert hair sniffer and above all a Washington DC democrat crook. He's had 50 years in Washington to hone his skills.
Obama put his personal 'sawbones' up to this. Obama doesn't want the braggart to implicate him anymore than he has on the campaign trail with his braggadocios loose cannon mouth about his tenure under the Lightbringer.
That my friends is the real reason this article is out there.

I have long suspected that the very last thing Obama has ever wanted was for Biden to run for president. Because this makes Obama and his own misdeeds very vulnerable to exposure. So Obama is going to use any means possible to submarine Biden and cost him a chance. But in this instance, I would be glad of this doctor's efforts, no matter who his former patient was. Biden is way too mentally unstable to run, let alone be president.

But we have been assured that Biden will save $2500 on his health care..... or something.
Joe's limited brain is now fried. But, of all the Clown Bus of losers, he is the least insane (think about THAT!) and seems likely to be their candidate. He'll go down babbling and sniffing hair.

So how does this longtime doctor suddenly find it legal to skirt around the medical HIPAA requirements and disclose the status of someone's health?

I heartily concur with the good ACTIVIST Doctor...Biden is perfectly healthy...fit a s a fiddle ...prone to fits of absolute brilliance.... and think he would make the PERFECT Dim Bulb candidate for the Dim Bulb Party to run against the best POTUS EVAH...He could campaign in a fifty states and never leave home....as he rarely knows where in the hell he is anyway...he da man that would step out onto his patio and fire off two shots from his double barrel to chase away the intruders...Leaving himself empty and defenseless...at which point he could show off his prowess at pushups and really put them in a pickle...I may switch Parties to vote for Slow Joe the Pervert in the primaries...then switch back for the general..

Obama is clearing the field for an Obama Loyalist (either a puppet or a partner) can run. So you are looking at Michelle or Eric Holder. The ones running now aren’t sufficiently loyal to his vision. And yes I think he has that sinister

Dem pols & voters have no problem with having Uncle Joe's shaking finger on The Button, even for a short time. That says all you need to know about the Dems' DESPERATION as Trump steers the Judiciary to the right.

I dunno about this armchair diagnosis. Look at our response when some doctor who has never seen Trump declares something about his health.
