This article is written concerning the health records and financial records of the Republican Presidential nomination, John McCain. The author of this article believes that John McCain, the 71 year old presidential nominee should have provided the public with a full report concerning his health by this point in the race. The author says that the excuse that the medical doctors are too busy has gotten old. McCain is expected to give Americans a full report on May 23. The Senator's health is more of a concern than other candidates because of his age and since he has had skin cancer removed in the recent years. If elected John McCain will be the oldest president beginning a presidential term the United States has had. The article also discusses the fact that the candidates have all failed in properly issuing their tax reports to the public. The author is concerned that their inability to follow the rules this early in the game is a bad sign of what to come in the White House. He makes his opinion quite clear, but I'm not so sure about all that.

I read this article, also. I really like it because the author had many good points that were well researched, although he was bias.
Although the writer is arguing a point, if he or she backs statements up with credible sources then this is a very valuable article. Saying the candidates are breaking the laws and the white house is doomed is relatively unbiased. On the other hand, pointing out individual public tax reports is a pretty transparent statement and can be stated as fact. Stating that this disregard for public oversight is a bad thing IS opinionated, but very arguable and fact based. I think this is a good article that puts the reader on a path to do some more research and think critically.
