President Obama is keeping a safe distance from his commerce secretary after John Bryson was cited for a felony hit-and-run in a bizarre series of car crashes Saturday.
The White House yesterday said Obama hasnt even called Bryson, 68, who Commerce Department officials said was diagnosed with a seizure when hospitalized after repeatedly crashing his Lexus in Los Angeles.

This is nothing new.
Obama rarely talks with any of his cabinet secretaries!
I don’t think Obama’s worried about distance.
I think he just doesn’t care about anybody but himself and what he can get.
In order for one to care, one has to have emotions.
At the risk of being a complete a-hole, I don’t believe for a second that he had a seizure. Instead, it is a case of typical libtard blaming something or someone other than themselves for a problem.
Not a medical person, but don't think seizures start at 68,...Alzheimer's’ maybe....;~)

Vodka-induced seizure if you are a Democrat and Cabinet member... or a Kennedy. This is perfectly fine even if someone is killed or drowned.
DUI if it were you or I.
“Not a medical person, but don’t think seizures start at 68,...”
Seizures can occur at anytime, at any age, without warning HOWEVER...his story does NOT fit the description of a seizure. You don’t have a seizure and then stop your car and carry on a conversation with the owner of the other car and then get back in and drive away - hitting that car again in the process and then continue on and hit someone else.
Sounds like a “seizure” is just a convenient made-up excuse!
We'll find out if Mr. Secretary of Commerce keeps his driver's license.
Even if you're just "at risk" for having a seizure, you supposed to have your license revoked.
I know a person in his 40s who has seizures, and I’ve seen him when one happens. He has no DL, but seizures aren’t the reason he can’t drive.
He’s a drunk and a doper with multiple DUIs. Whether the liquor and drugs have anything to do with causing his seizures, I don’t know, but I guarantee they don’t help.
Or maybe it was a psychologically induced seizure, brought on by this:

Surprisingly, not always. I have a family member who had three seizures before they took his license away. You can go to the doctor and get a note saying you are on medication but I guess if you get that and have the seizure again, they revoke your license.
Also, I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt that he had a seizure and am not going to speculate about him drinking and driving. Seizure medicine dosage needs to be adjusted for a lot of people. You can be taking medicine and have them, at which point you need to have the medicine adjusted. Perhaps that is happening to him. He probably should have his license revoked thought.
Was this a Kennedy-type seizure? (He seized the Chivas Regal?)
I just wanted to pass on a little info in case some of you were not aware of this. Yesterday was the Air force Academy graduation ceremony. My friend from Texas had just arrived and we drove down the road to watch the Thunderbirds fly over after the ceremony was finished.
Most of you know Pres. Obama spoke at the ceremony and handed out the diploma's. When this finished it was time for the Thunderbirds to fly-over. There was one fly-over then they disappeared.
A man standing by me called a friend at Peterson Field and found out that the fly-over was halted because Obama wanted to leave. A helicopter soon appeared and flew around in a circular pattern above where we were - basically doing reconnesance as Obama's motor-cade was exiting the Air Force Academy.
He was going to Denver to do some more campaigning since Colorado is a swing state. After he left the Thunderbirds came back and continued the show for the graduates. Think about this. Obama comes to a graduation, speaks etc. then decides to leave before the Thunderbirds can complete their fly-over. They had to fly around, & waste fuel. Thousands of people - the graduating cadets, parents, friends, observers in the vicinity parked in lots waiting to see them fly, inconvenienced, so Obama - his "highness' could leave to go campaign in Denver!
How disrespectful of EVERYONE in attendance. It would have taken only about 20-30 minutes more time to stay until the fly-over was finished thereby honoring the graduates, Thunderbirds and the military in general. However, this narcissistic disgrace of a 'Commander -in-Chief" had to inconvenience everyone and leave interrupting the ceremony fly-over because everything is about him.
I was disgusted by this and so was everyone else standing around near us. I hope this info gets passed on so others can learn how disrespectful this Pres. is toward the military. Not too many who witnessed this will be voting for him.
And since the graduation ceremony was an “official event”, the Obomba campaign isn’t required to pay for the expenses of going to a campaign event. King Barry’s schedulers are very good at making sure there’s always an “offical event” on every campaign trip so the taxpayers get to pay instead of the campaign.
FUBO.
Bryson was alone.....nobody else in the car......not trying to pick anyone up......just seeing the sights.....the old media sure wants you to know that....

Absolutely correct.
I’m an MD board certified in psychiatry by the America Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Much of my training was in neurology, a third of my written boards were devoted to neurology, and the overlap between my field and that of neurology has had a prominent place in my practice of psychiatry for the past quarter century.
The story as I have read it is entirely inconsistent with a seizure or anything else neurologic. The story being put forth is consistent with malingering, a psychological phenomenon. The reason for the poor driving that led to the series of accidents is yet to be determined, IMO, but I’d place my money on the usual suspects.
A criminal lying under duress: par for the course in this administration.
Excellent post, did not know that.
(we all know it was Bush that made his Lexus crash)
