Obama, Clinton campaigning in different races (U.S., 22 articles)
|
Campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, " With no surgery or hospital stays, this is a complete summary of his doctor visits and medical records for the past two decades. The attack by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was in line with his campaign's recent attempts to portray Obama as too young and inexperienced to lead the nation. WASHINGTON - With his experience and leadership credentials under sharp criticism, Senator Barack Obama and his advisers are trying to clarify what has emerged as a central tenet of his proposed foreign policy: a willingness to meet leaders of enemy nations. " Senator Barack Obama is in overall good physical and mental health needed to maintain the resiliency required in the office of President Obama's doctor, David L. Scheiner, said in a statement. As Obama campaigned against McCain here, Hillary Rodham Clinton appeared in Montana, where Democrats will vote next Tuesday in one of the nation's last primaries. The clearest indication that the election is moving into a new phase this week is that Obama and McCain are both campaigning in key November swing states, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.
