That's bad. He's 58 and having quadruple by-pass surgery.
My grandfather had a triple by-pass and he was never the same afterwards.

Many prayers for him and his family - as well as the skills of the cardiologist and surgeon, should he need them.
My dad had a heart attack in 1992 w/ a quad bypass years later. I wouldn't wish either of them on my worst enemy's dog.

Very tragic. Didn't his father (or mother) die of a heart condition?

In terms of politics and character, I have little regard for Bill Clinton. But I'm still deeply saddened to hear of his heart condition and I pray that he makes a full recovery as quickly as possible.
My heart goes out to his daughter, too. This must be terribly distressing for her. I hope that she and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton find comfort from the prayers and best wishes of people around the world.
Edited to add: I'm confused. The latest AP news story says that "It does not appear that Clinton had a heart attack"... merely that he went to the hospital with mild chest pain and shortness of breath. Also, the bypass surgery is not being performed today but at a "later date". Where are y'all finding the information about quadruple bypass surgery and a heart attack?

I hope he's ok. He's so young to being having these problems. Such sad news.

If it catches a potential problem and corrects it, it's good news.
It appears from reading several sources that President Clinton experienced mild chest pains and shortness of breath and went to a hospital, where he underwent tests and the bypass surgery was recommended.
Those sources talk about "potential heart problems," but not a heart attack -- although there is often some confusion in this area.
There also seems to be some confusion whether the surgery will take place on Saturday or Tuesday.

I hope he gets better quickly.
I think I'll skip the greasy chinese food today and have a salad.

I saw the story on cbc.ca and on yahoo.com. They both mentioned quadruple by=pass surgery.
However, that was an hour and a half ago, and it looks like they have updated their information. I think the earlier reports were mostly rumors.
