Bill Clinton's hand appeared to tremble as he campaigned for his wife in Iowa, raising questions about his health. Observers noticed that his fingers appeared to shake as he delivered a speech over the weekend to a crowd of 5,000. In the past, he's said it's simply a condition of aging. In 2013, Clinton denied he had Parkinson's disease, saying: "I have a condition that sometimes you get with aging. You may have noticed it; my hand has a little tremor when I'm tired and a lot of people do when they’re older." During the 69-year-old's speech, he explained why...

Valentine's Day came early this year in Camp Clinton. Love is the reason Bill Clinton has gone wild on the trail, turning his red-faced rage at Barack Obama's presidential campaign and reporters on a serial basis, he explained Thursday. It was his answer to a female voter in South Carolina who urged him to "stop taking the bait from Obama." "When I was running, I didn't give a rip what anybody said about me," he said. "It's weird, you know, but if you love somebody and you think that they'd be good, it's harder." He blasted Obama recently as a...

Former President Bill Clinton, angrily defending his efforts to capture Osama bin Laden, accused the Bush administration in an interview to be broadcast Sunday of doing far less to stop Mr. bin Laden before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. In the interview for “Fox News Sunday,” Mr. Clinton defended the steps he took after the bombing of the destroyer Cole in 2000 and faulted “right-wingers” for their criticism of his efforts to capture Mr. bin Laden, the Qaeda leader. “But at least I tried. That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me...

Former president Bill Clinton praised wife Hillary's prospects to be elected the next US leader, but said her possible White House run is a taboo topic at home. "I'm superstitious about it," Clinton told NBC television in an interview, saying that, for the moment, his wife's sole focus is her bid for reelection to the US Senate in November. "One of our family rules is don't look past the next election," he said. Clinton, interviewed in New York, insisted that his wife still has not reached a final decision about running for the White House, but said if she does,...

On August 15, former President Bill Clinton addressed a world AIDS conference in Toronto. "In just a few days, I will be 60 years old. I hate it, but it's true," he stated. "For most of my working life, I was the youngest person doing what I was doing. Then one day I woke up and I was the oldest person in every room. Now that I have more days behind me than ahead of me, I try to wake up with a discipline of gratitude every day." Turning 60 is certainly a bummer for a man as reliant on...

Bill Clinton showed his doctors yesterday that he knows how to follow orders — stopping by the hospital that diagnosed his heart problem and wowing the crowd with his stunning weight loss. As these photos show, there was a lot less of Bill Clinton on display at Westchester County Medical Center in Valhalla, where the ex-president cut the ribbon on a new cardiac center. Just four months ago, Clinton flashed his best greasy-burger smile at a Post photographer during an outing to the Central Park Zoo. But yesterday, he was a shadow of his former self, thanks to a strict...
