ABC news has developed a sudden interest in President Bush's health.
Last week President Bush underwent his annual physical. It revealed he was in pretty good health, except for one thing. According to his body mass index, he's overweight.
But wait, it gets worse: the "experts" are concerned:
"I don't know if I would say he's overweight, but if you look at the trend, increasing body weight is not a good pattern," says Leslie Bonci, director of Sports Nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Because it is, after all part of the job description to be in shape.
And J. Larry Durstine, president of the American College of Sports Medicine, says he believes the president should be recognized as a leader in maintaining good health.
Does anybody remember this kind hand-wringing over the president's weight when it was Bill Clinton, and running meant running down the block to McDonald's and riding meant riding in a golf cart with Vernon Jordan?
