[world leaders] is cheney too sick to run the white house

The list is endless: Washington - 1747 diphtheria, 1749 malaria, 1751 smallpox, 1751 tuberculosis, 1752 malaria, 1755 dysentery, 1757 dysentery, 1757 tuberculosis, 1761 malaria, 1761 dysentery, 1779 quinsy, 1784 malaria, 1789 carbuncle, 1790 pneumonia, 1791 carbuncle, 1798 malaria, 1799 epiglottitis; Wilson, in August 1919 … complained of headaches and sleeplessness. He collapsed in Pueblo, Colorado. The trip was cancelled and Wilson returned to the White House, where he suffered a stroke. From that time on the President was incapable of carrying out his duties; [Stalin] was … a sick man - the enormous strain of leading the Soviet war effort had taken its toll, and he suffered a stroke in autumn 1945 … He was all too aware of his failing powers, and this made him all the more likely to intervene, with potentially devastating effect, in the political process; South African President Thabo Mbeki was rushed to hospital in 2004, after experiencing breathing difficulties as he addressed a rally; and now - Vice President Cheney has coronary artery disease but he has no clinical symptoms. Contrast this with American leaders who were indeed sick. President Kennedy’s Addison's disease, Eisenhower’s major heart attack and Roosevelt’s coronary disease. Should Cheney retire though, for the good of the nation?
