NEW YORK – After being hospitalized with chest pains, former President Bill Clinton had two stents inserted today to prop open a clogged heart artery.
Adviser, Douglas Band told The Associated Press that Clinton, 63, is doing fine. “He is in good spirits and will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts,"
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has left Washington to be with her husband at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
It was in 2004 when Clinton first landed in the hospital and underwent a quadruple bypass because of four blocked arteries. Some were reported to have been squeezed almost completely shut.
Clinton was spoofed on “Saturday Night Live” as a gluttonous McDonald’s customer. However friends and family say the former president has changed his eating habits for the better after his heart attack.

Clinton Gave China Chips for Nuclear War...
Another critical element of the Clinton-supplied waiver is the fact that it took place during an investigation of Chinese espionage into missing U.S. radiation hardened satellite chips.
The missing board from the Loral Intelsat satellite is no mystery. It quickly became obvious that Chinese engineers removed the special electronics and kept the board for examination. The stolen Loral electronics consist of radiation hardened, encrypted telemetry chips, stored in a secure flight control box similar to those found on airliners. The NSA changed all U.S. satellite codes as a result of the stolen Loral chips, costing American taxpayers millions of dollars.
