It's no longer a question of staying healthy. It's a question of finding a sickness you like. - Jackie Mason US comedian (1934 - )
For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary December 11, 2004 President's Remarks to Press Pool 1:42 P.M. EST
Q How are you feeling Mr. President?
George W. Bush | THE PRESIDENT: I'm -- first of all, incredibly impressed by the health care that our military receives. I have just come from visiting with some of the wounded and their families, and the service that the doctors and nurses provide here for our troops is superb. |
I can say to the loved ones in the military that their sons and daughters and husbands and wives get the very best medical care there is. And I am grateful for that.
As far as my own physical goes, I'm still standing. I, obviously, have just gone through a campaign, because -- let me say, I've obviously gone through a campaign where I probably ate too many doughnuts, if you get my drift. My New Year's resolution has become apparent after getting on the scales. And although I think the doc will put out a report that shows you that I'm physically fit, and still able to get on the stress tests, I'm a little overweight. And therefore, I fully intend to lose some inches off my waistline and some pounds off my frame. But other than that, I'm feeling great.
Thank you all. END 1:44 P.M. EST
