His biological father died in a car accident. His mother had cancer. Maybe his adopted father (Clinton) had a heart condition?
Quadruple bypass sounds intense. One of my teachers in middle school had one of those, and she was out for most of the semester afterwards.

Good luck and good health Clinton. You were a great president and we still need you around.

It is quite a recovery period. I believe he'll get better than adequate medical care though. Give him a couple of months and he'll be fine.
Sounds like Bill won't be stopping in for a Big Mac at McDonalds any time soon.

Genetic issues...
President Clinton was on "The Daily Show" the last time I had seen him, right after the Democratic Convention and the 60 minutes interview about his book...
He looked like he has lost a lot of weight in all his interviews...
But he was probably under an excessive amount of stress that just wore his body--mainly his heart down...
Prayers to him and his family...
As a past US President, he does have excellent healthcare for life...

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.

My mother had this done in February, and is still recovering. Because they're becoming so common, we tend to think that by-passes are fairly easy operations, but they are still major heart surgery. I feel bad that President Clinton is going through this at such a relatively early age!

I just head on the radio again, that he is having quadruple bypass surgery tomorrow.
I wish him a speedy recovery and good health in the future.

Oh, I saw him on tv recently and thought how well he looked! Holding good thoughts for him and a speedy recovery. A friend of mine had similar surgery back in the spring and the recovery is a real bitch.

FYI: Bill Clinton called and talked to Larry King on his show. He will probably have surgery on Monday or Tuesday. He said he was somewhat afraid, but if he doesn't have the surgery he will almost certainly have a heart attack. He sounded in good spirits and even joked that "The Republicans aren't the only people who want four more years here."
Both Presidential candidates extend best wishes to the former President:
GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: And we're out here, we just received news that President Clinton has been hospitalized in New York. He is in our thoughts and prayers. We send him our best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery.
SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Every single one of us, every single one of us wants to extend to him our best wishes, our prayers and our thoughts. And I want you all to let a cheer out and clap that he can hear all the way to New York, all the way to New York!

He is at Columbia Presbyterian in New York.

Clinton was the first President that I voted for in an actual election (1992) and not at a mock election. I also voted for him again in 1996!
I am still in shock after learning about his condition. I hope he has a speedy recovery! My thoughts and prayers are with with him and his family.
