Is the president REQUIRED to take a physical?
Point being, if he is, and he has backed out of it, this would seem to be a golden opportunity. Draw parallels to his bailing on the TANG after all the expensive training, just not showing up for his physical when times got tough for him. Now he's doing it again.

He's not a brave, strong leader...he's a SERIAL RUNNER-AWAYER!

1. I never thought that it..
...was a requirement, more of a rule of thumb that a president would have his physical annually and report the good news in the press afterwards.

I've never looked into it, however.

The fact that Bush hasn't announced anything about this has been in the back of my mind for awhile, though......
