It is convenient for Barack Obama to continue running the show with a fragile Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office
The 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) saying Hillary Clintons health challenges are serious enough to disqualify her for the position of President of the U.S., are in the same category as all those still holding out hope that she will be indicted for her email scandal.
As the savvy would know, you can be anything you want on the Internet.
Could the good doctors polled be motivated by wishful thinking? They are, in essence building up a kind of false hope bound to come crashing back down to earth.
If Hillary were to stroke out or become incapacitated her minions would step in and run things with her as a figurehead. Anyone remember Woodrow Wilsons last term. When the country was run by his wife and a few advisors while Wilson was incapacitated.
The most famous (because it was 1st?) being the psychiatrist polling in 1964 Fact Magazine saying Barry Goldwater was unfit to be President due to issues of being "paranoid," "schizophrenic," "obsessive," "psychotic," and "narcissistic".
Given that none of these SELECTED responses, picked by the very left publisher, Ralph Ginzburg, came from professional consultations, the furor led their professional organization, the American Psychiatric Association, to add the GOLDWATER RULE to their code of ethics; "However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement."
I know that the essence of this 'survey' is that these are professionals who say that the issues are serious enough to strongly request disclosure of Hillary's medical records and thus not an outright condemnation of her fitness, still I feel that this 'survey' is much of the same and needs to have the same sort of rule applied. I detest Secretary Clinton but this still has the wiff of sewer to me!
