George WTuesday morning, former President George W. Bush, underwent surgery to place a stent into his corroded heart. W. didn’t have to wait on Obamacare. It was during his annual exam that the looming blockage was discovered.

Bush’s spokesman claims the procedure was “performed successfully,” without complication, at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. The 43rd president looks forward to resumption of his daily duties, like ruling the world! “President Bush is in high spirits, eager to return home tomorrow and resume his normal schedule on Thursday. He is grateful to the skilled medical professionals who have cared for him,” the statement read.

In the past Bush has remained active by riding his mountain bike and running. A 2006 annual exam reports that at the time no signs of hypertension or stroke were present.
