Higher levels of cortisol leads to insulin resistance and higher levels of insulin (hyperinsulinemia). That, along with poor diet, is how heart disease comes about.

I think it's a pretty good educated guess based on what I know about him.
You are entitled to your opinion, but I believe you are overstepping to make such a statement. There are no facts to stand up to your "good educated guess," and that's about all it is. There are plenty of fit people around here who do 60-mile cycle excursions. Are they all taking a pleasurable sport and turning it into stress? I am astounded by the suppositions in your post, which appear to not be based on true facts about President Bush.

Oh, and I never voted for him.

I know you will come back with numerous points to uphold your suppositions, but ... I stand by my opinion.
