- Don't forget Bush and Quayle. They can both run circles around Clinton
- and Bush is 22 years older. Clinton is the FIRST president of my
- lifetime (25 years) who was never a competetive athlete as a youth. Not
- that that has much to do with the presidency, but I am sure that this
- group is the first place where people will admit that competetive
- athletes make better leaders, all else equal.
-
- A side note - I bet Gore's body fat % is even higher than Clinton's.
