He seems to have asthma, and that is the reason. Of course, that is what his spokesman is saying.

Smithee/Geoff Guess who sent this to certain family members, but not me, in an email. LOL Dear friends/family, Republicans are negotiating with President Obama on a deal that would gut America's social safety net — and unless we act now, they may get their way. Congress needs to raise the debt ceiling before August 2nd so that the government doesn’t default on its debts, wreaking havoc on the economy. But Republicans are refusing to vote for this unless they can also pass massive cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, student aid, and other important programs that create opportunity and protect the most vulnerable among us. Democrats in Congress are holding the line, saying that they won't accept any cuts to these programs without asking huge corporations, millionaires and billionaires to contribute their fair share. But as the deadline approaches, Congressional Democrats will be under immense pressure to compromise their principles, even if it means giveaways for the rich while most Americans suffer. That's why I'm joining my friends at [url=http://colorofchange.org/]ColorOfChange.org[/url] in calling on the White House and Congress to say no to any deal that asks people who are already struggling in this economy to sacrifice even more, without asking corporations and the rich to pay their fair share. Will you join me?
