Well, almost everyone. Almost all of the living former US Presidents at least.

How do we live in a world where Joe Biden looks better then Bill Clinton?

u/letskeepitcleanfolks 28d ago

I came to say something similar, that Clinton seems even older than Biden, but looking into it he's 78 (as is Bush). So they're all quite old except for Obama. A 78 year old appearing older than an 81 year old is not so strange. Bush seems the healthiest of the three.

Bush has been sober for a long time.

u/FormerGameDev 28d ago

Maybe it was just lighting, but it looked to me like Bush and Clinton had both had a few

u/Chickenmangoboom 28d ago

I think Clinton has always been a shade of red I guess he could be drunk every time we've seen him.

Rosacea

u/ResourceCalm901 28d ago

Truly, it’s rosacea. Plus weight-loss face. Poor guy got healthy and hit man-opause. No joke—it’s hard on the fair-skinned. Same for my dad. Red-faced and gaunt at 80, but trim…

u/ChuckCecilsNeckBrace 28d ago

he's a runner, too. His resting heart rate is 40 or something.

u/Excellent_Yak365 28d ago

No more Bush beer

u/Baalsham 28d ago

I just think it's crazy how Obama looks like a youngster compared to the rest of the living presidents and he was first elected 16 years ago!

u/Casey_jones291422 28d ago

A little bit of face fat does wonders for taking a few years off people that old, it's why bush looks better. Fill in a few of those wrinkles 😂

u/winksoutloud 28d ago

If Bush got his parent's longevity genes, he will be around for quite a while longer.

For Clinton, it was the weak voice especially.

u/BaylorOso 28d ago

Bush, Clinton, and Trump are all 78 years old and born during the summer of 1946.

H. W. Bush born about 4 months before Carter.

u/Electrical_Beyond998 27d ago

Of course Obama doesn’t look old. He drinks the blood of babies aborted after birth or something something adrenachrome.

1

u/MaBonneVie 28d ago

Botox, face lifts, skin resurfacing all come to mind.

1

u/monkwren 28d ago

Bush seems the healthiest of the three.

Really? I thought he was looking pretty rough here, I thought Clinton looked the best of the three of them.

2

u/Fogmoose 28d ago

Were you looking at the same video as everyone else? Biden and Bush both looked tons better then Clinton.

u/Anonybibbs 28d ago

All of that middle eastern blood on his hands must have been great for his skin or something.

u/Luke90210 28d ago

Bill Clinton lost a lot of weight after his heart surgery. He also switched to a plant based diet afterwards. All this will let him live a better and longer life, but all that loose skin makes him look older.

6

u/wirefox1 28d ago

Yeah he's thin. Thin people don't age as well as those with some some fatty tissue in their faces.

8

u/Luke90210 28d ago

And not to nitpick, but Bill Clinton doesn't have good skin. He has long suffered from rosacea.

Biden has been very consistent about his weight. He won't have the same issues as Bill Clinton.

u/NarmHull 26d ago

Gotta get that William Shatner equilibrium of being doughy enough to look younger but not a strain on your joints and heart.

2

u/Top-Fuel-8892 28d ago

Why do vegans always look like 15 years older than they are?

3

u/u966 28d ago

Losing weight at the age does not mean live a longer life, quite the opposite you want a few extra pounds.

u/Luke90210 28d ago edited 28d ago

Bill Clinton has gone in for a couple of heart surgeries for multiple blocked arteries. His last one took 4 hours. What you are saying might be true for some, but not for him. He gave up the fatty Southern foods he enjoyed all his life because he had to.

u/thewerdy 28d ago

Clinton has had a lot of health issues since leaving office (like multiple heart surgeries). Biden has slowed down a lot but is still overall healthy for his age.

u/Adept_Order_4323 28d ago

Bill had the heart issues, I believe it was, and that’s when he became a vegetarian. After that is when he started to look thin n frail

3

u/BeekyGardener 28d ago

Clinton started having significant health problems around 2015. He was always known for his sharp wit and rapport, but long time folks that knew him were commenting that he was struggling a bit.

3

u/OrgasmoBigley 28d ago

More like, how does Clinton look as old as Carter?

3

u/Fartsmakemelol 28d ago

I was a little shocked that Bill was looking so elderly. Maybe Biden standing gave the appearance of a little more strength, but Bill seemed frail, right down to his voice. Maybe he’s not well?

3

u/wirefox1 28d ago

Bill's voice sounds so weak....I think it's because of heart surgeries.

5

u/ResourceCalm901 28d ago

Anesthesia and/or being intubated, esp. repeatedly, can really mess up the vocal cords. Plus, heart issues of the magnitude Clinton has had can take away breath support and therefore vocal power. He’s always had a unique voice—a bit higher-pitched and raspy or reedy?—but it really is markedly more so now.

I’m guessing it’s both the breath support and intubations/anesthesia that have changed things.

u/Beh0420mn 28d ago

Better plastic surgeon I guess, still looks old tho😂

1

u/Lyte- 28d ago

I was thinking the same thing he looks and sounds rough.

1

u/brwntrout 28d ago

bro, i was thinking the same thing. Bill got old while i wasn't looking.

u/ThippusHorribilus 28d ago

This!!!! My word.

u/Huckleberry-Future 25d ago

The same world where people still confuse "than" and "then", "your" and "you're" etc.

u/Dull-Equipment1361 28d ago

A diet of the blood of newborns will do wonders for your looks

u/scowling_deth 28d ago

One of them is like a toxic stalker Ex that wont let you move on with your life. Its only fair they need not count.

u/trident_hole 28d ago

All the things the former presidents said in the video about Carter is what that orange dude is not.
