Ill Clinton misses press conference

[cal04]

FORMER US president Bill Clinton has skipped a joint press conference with Foreign Minister Alexander Downer because he was feeling unwell. Mr Clinton today signed a memorandum of understanding on behalf of his presidential foundation with the Australian Government to boost HIV/AIDS programs in the Asia Pacific.

He was expected to attend a joint press conference with Mr Downer and Qantas chairwoman Margaret Jackson. But Mr Downer explained Mr Clinton's absence by saying he had been feeling unwell. "I don't think he's been feeling very well for the last couple of days," Mr Downer said, without elaborating on Mr Clinton's illness.


Earlier today, during a speech to the global business forum in Sydney, Mr Clinton complained of feeling unwell. Shortly before the press conference at Sydney's Westin Hotel, security staff removed two actors from ABC TV's satirical Chaser program.

2. A friend of mine just got back from Bangalore

Said Clinton was supposed to be at the silver jubilee of Ravishankars Art of Living Foundation, but didn't show.
Guess this is why. I'll have to tell her, she was pretty disappointed.
Hope he's OK.

8. seriously, he needs to slow down

i know he is a guy who loves to work unlike the Chimp, but i worry about him ever since the heart surgery. he needs to take it easy.

especially with the internet and other easy communication there are ways he can continue doing some things without always having to put so much physical energy into it.

i also think the Bush family is treating him like shit. they know he has always wanted a father and that's why they put out all the crap about how he is family, son, etc. they do this so he would not criticize the administration.

but then they turn around and blame him for everything. that has got to suck and make him feel horrible also.

I'll bet he doesn't like to turn anyone down, probably hates to be a no show. But dammit, his health comes first!

Get well soon Big Dog!
