Bill Clinton is officially back at work - story and pic
Bill Clinton speaks out against childhood obesity
Wed Feb 17, 11:50 am ET

NEW YORK – Bill Clinton is officially back at work.

Just days after undergoing a procedure to unclog a blocked artery, the former president is talking about childhood obesity, which can lead to early heart disease, diabetes and other health problems.

Clinton is giving an update Wednesday afternoon about the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. It works to promote heart health.

Clinton underwent the artery procedure last Thursday. He went home from the hospital Friday, telling reporters that he felt great and had already done "a couple miles on the treadmill."

On Tuesday, Clinton attended the Pennsylvania funeral for U.S. Rep. John Murtha.

8. Of course, it probably helps that he is a former president.
As such, I expect that there is always a doctor nearby. It also would not surprise me to find out that his Secret Service detail is also EMT trained. I'm not sure about that, though.

9. I was just wondering the same thing. I just heard that Michelle Obama
is going to appear on Mike Huckabee's show. Probably because he is something of an icon for weight-loss, rather than anything political.

10. Huck also gives FLOTUS high praise for her garden and her work
on curbing childhood obesity. He says it's not a right or left problem, it's a national problem. Have to give him props for that.

11. I agree. Not everything has to be viewed politically.
There are people of good will on both sides of the political spectrum. An adversary does not have to be an enemy. Disagreeing with me does not mean you're evil. I just means you're wrong.
