Presiden't = President's

Cant't punctuate on one cup of coffee!

I agree, BMI is goofy. Just checked mine - BMI of 21. And I'm fat, Marilyn Monroe kinda fat, but fat nonetheless. The President is a rock.

[teddyballgame]

This whole article is bull. GWB is the most fit President ever (period). Bill Clinton used to jog with a cup of friggin' coffee in his hand!!! Seriously. Bubba's "exercise" was for political show. The MSM gets more pathetic and desperate daily.

[ashamedtobefromparkridge]

Think about the president's father and how we don't hear a peep about him having anything health related and he's over 80 I think and compare that to Clinton.

George HW Bush is a lot like my grandfather was full of adventure in good shape and still physically active at 80. Heck he even looks like my grandfather did (and my uncle looks like the President) My grandpa died in a car accident.

I could have done without that! Then again, maybe if I puke enough it will lower my BMI...

[RushCrush]

hey I have that same coffee mug!

[srmorton]

I agree. You also have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Some football players who are in great shape would be classified as "overweight" by the weight tables that are usually used. There is a difference between being overweight and "overfat"! BTW, Bubba belonged in the latter category when he was POTUS.

You can just keep my "Chester" out of this discussion.

MSN is just grasping at straws.

If they had any vestige of brains they'd at least make it a comparison piece.

But I forget, they aren't at all interested in the trappings of non-partisanship.

I really can't believe he hasn't had a stroke yet.

[NordP]

Is ABS...I mean ABC, crazy???

And...what's up with "pretty good health" - I'd like to see any of THEN have a resting heart rate of 46!!!! You don't get that low of a resting heart rate by sitting around doing nothing. His cholesterol is fine and his blood pressure is fine...WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT???

ABC is going to have 75% of the U.S. pissed off at them for saying that HE's overweight, because that makes THEM obese! This report was really dumb to do if you want people to believe you, when you report stories.

ABC and Reuters - Dumb and Dumber

[NordP]

Whew - 19.7 - 20.3

[NordP]

Typical Clinton...look to others and your childhood for everything that you should be blaming your own self for! Excuses, excuses--his whole LIFE is making excuses!

[NordP]

STUD!!!! - Great RECENT picture, mystery-ak!

[NordP]

TAFT II ;-)

[Carolinamom]

The author has a fat mouth. What's SHE gonna do about that?

[chris_ab]

Lol...

The important thing is that Bush and the Bodyguard were, most likely, packing some heat... Bush probably a 38 Snub Nose while the guard probably had a mini-M-16.

You mean the lamestream is reduced to this?

ABC has all the credibility of some tabloid screaming about Bat Boy.

Here's another one:

http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/g42.htm

excerpt: "Clinton is 6 feet 2 inches tall, or perhaps 6 feet 2.5 inches tall [12]. From 1992 to 2001 his weight varied from 236 to 214 pounds [More]. The lower height and a weight of 226 gives him a body mass index of 29.1 kg/m/m -- overweight, but not quite obese."
