The man needed to do something. Having just turned 50 and with the pressure that comes with the job his health could not have been very good.

And he's preparing for a run in 2016 and he's already made comments that we couldn't have a president who looks like him. His words. Not mine.

Regardless, I hope that this step will allow him to be healthier and happier!

Quite right Haunted. This will give him a chance for a happy life after politics.

The reasons are his alone-- wishing him success with his wt. loss.

May this be the first step towards good health.

Hey, I don't care what the reasons are. I like the guy. I think he should do whatever makes him happy.

Unfortunately I've heard that once the band comes off people tend to go back up, but I hope not. Maybe a presidential run will have him running around enough to keep the weight off.
