OK, President Obama's Healthy-- Part 1

From the Nov. 6th Chicago Tribune.

President Obama's annual physical at the beginning of the month was a glowing one. He's healthy, but this was not the case with some of our earlier presidents.

A short run-down on presidential health:

Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921)-- Migraine headaches, suffered a stroke in 1919 that left him paralyzed and with slurred speech.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)-- Paralyzed by polio. In 1944, hid physician told him his health would not allow a fourth term. he ran anyway and died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Dwight Eisenhower (1953-1961)-- Suffered a heart attack in 1955. Also had a minor stroke.

More to Come. --Cooter
