Bill Clinton in good spirits after heart procedure
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton underwent a successful heart procedure on Thursday to open a blocked artery in his heart with two stents after he had experienced chest discomfort, his spokesman said.
Clinton, 63, had quadruple heart bypass surgery in 2004 to free up four blocked arteries and the latest incident comes after he has traveled twice to Haiti to help recovery efforts after a devastating earthquake there.
"Today, President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest," Douglas Band, counselor to Clinton, said in a statement.

Wow, a lot of hate going on in here. I can't, for the life of me, imagine why anyone would be happy or wishful for Bill to pass on. Seriously, what did he ever do to deserve such blind hatred?

If you can't look past a man's political actions to even wish him well or express sympathy during his time of need, then you do not deserve to call yourself a human being.

Wow, for once we finally agree on something.
OT, let's have a beer, I'd like to share some good Aggie jokes with you.

It's funny how everyone on this website acts is if they hold public office or are in the spotlight and must be politically correct at all times.
Stop bull#ting yourselves and the rest of us. Most of you "wishing him well" don't give a damn if something terrible were to happen to him and you know it. If he were to die right now you would make your empty condolences and move about your day.
I along with a few others, however, realize that we are not here to score political points and, instead, speak our minds. I'll tell you flat out: I don't care what happens to him and I don't wish him well. In fact, I wish it had been worse and I wish he hadn't recovered.
Does that make me a bad person? I don't care. I'm not here to win an election or be popular. Apparently the rest of you are.
This man is just like the rest of them. You can say "80% of Americans would rather have him in office" all you want but all that proves is that 80% of America are idiots.
I don't wish him well. I wish him misery.

Sympathy is like respect. It's earned. It's not automatic.

Friend, I seriously doubt you will get a straight answer. I mean I asked about Hitler and Ted Bundy and the responses I recieved were "They were devotees of narcissistic evil." and something else about being off topic, to which I had to explain why mentioning them were on topic. See, it all goes back to hypocrisy and everything you've typed so far has been correct. I'm asking why Clinton should be given any well wishes or sympathies and so far not one person has given one logical reason as to why we should do these things.
See, this thread reminds me of this one www.abovetopsecret.com...
If you want to see hypocrisy at its highest moment on ATS make sure you click that link and read the thread.
