[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] God you're stubborn Omega. Do you know who Dr. Jonathon Reiner is? He's Mr. Cheney's cardiologist, and he contradicted a statement by Dr. Denton Cooley (whom the Bush campaign hired to vouch for Cheney's health), that in fact, Cheney "did not have normal cardiac function." [i]New York Times, 7/25/00[/i] First, Omega claimed this: [i]Heck, man, Reagan got SHOT, literally within an inch of his life, and still managed to perform his job within 24 hours. And he was older than Cheney at the time.[/i] Then, Omega posted THIS gem: [i]WHICH IT WAS! We've been through this before, Jeff. Get it straight: Bush acted as president as provided for in the twenty-fifth ammendment after Reagan was shot. Heck, it was in the frikin' WORLD BOOK, last I checked! Do you do ANY research for yourself, or do you just accept what you're told?[/i] Now, regarding Reagan: first you say that he was able to function in the capacity of office even though he'd just been shot, then you backtrack and say that, no, Bush had in fact been given power under the 25th Ammendment. Make up your mind, please, because you've contradicted yourself. If powers had been removed from him via the 25th Ammendment, I honestly doubt he'd've gotten them back within the 24 hours you claim. However, it should be pointed out that powers were NOT transfered to Bush. Otherwise, why would his Doc release a statement (albeit, after Bush had been elected), saying that powers [i]should[/i] have been transfered to Bush via the Twenty-Fifth Ammendment if they had been? Well, because they hadn't been. Barrett, Lawrence I. [i]Gambling with History: Reagan in the White House[/i]. Where are you sources, Omega ... ? Just wondering. Dick Cheney's health is not in dispute. As proved by this latest incident, and his earlier heart attack (his fouth), the man is clearly not in the best of health. What [i]is[/i] in question is whether or not he should remain in office. So far, the case made [i]for[/i] staying in office hasn't been made very well, and seems to boil down to, "if the man wants to have a heart attack, let him!" and "the President will never be assassinated or have anything bad happen, the chances are really small!" Whatever. [/QB][/QUOTE]
