Hillary's biggest challenge might be Bill's health

With the 2016 Presidential contest looming on the distant horizon, Hillary Clinton’s age and health have been minor but persistent talking points.

Clinton’s greatest challenge may not be her own health status, however – The most troubling issue may be the health of her husband.

I respect and like Bill, but it strikes me more and more that he just doesn't look the same - I think It's significant - his prognostic history, and its implications for 2016, are laid out here: http://sheppardpost.com/hillarys-biggest-challenge-might-be-bills-health/

Really? they are going there?

Bill Clinton looks like a shadow of his former self only because like most of America, was obese. That obesity is what lead to the other faux concern of the article, his 2004 chest pains.

I believe Bill Clinton is probably healthier than at any time he was in the White House because he changed his lifestyle following his 2004 health scare.

The article is nothing more than an another hit piece on the Clinton's.

After the bypass surgery he started taking care of himself and lost a lot of weight, hence the different look about him.
Hillary is fine too.
