Health fears for Bill Clinton as he's 'caught dozing off' on-stage at Obama public library opening
2026-06-19
Given all he’s done with and to his body over the yers, the wonder is that it didn’t give up due to something medically exotic years ago. Or maybe he was just bored by any speech not his own.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former President Bill Clinton has sparked health fears after he was caught appearing to doze off during Barack Obama's public library opening ceremony.

Clinton and his wife Hillary joined several former presidents and first ladies on Thursday at the event on Thursday in Jackson Park, Chicago.

The celebration was jam-packed with performances and speeches and the long event appeared to take a toll on Clinton, who seemingly fell asleep on stage, directly behind Barack and Michelle Obama.

At one point he used his hand to cradle his head, which appeared to tilt downward although his dark sunglasses shielded any view of his eyes.

The Obamas, Bidens, Bushes and Clintons all cozied up together for a group picture ahead of the dedication ceremony.

One picture showed Michelle hugging former President George Bush while former President Bill Clinton laughed behind them.

Joe and Jill Biden, the former president and first lady, were seen in a cheeky snap blowing a kiss at the camera together.
Like one does with a toddler. That poor man.
Michelle and Barack Obama's daughters, Malia and Sasha, also came out to support their parents, waving and smiling widely at the crowd.

The event was packed with A-listers including John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen, former late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, Tyler Perry, Steven Spielberg and former fashion model Jill Vedder, among others.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, US Rep Nancy Pelosi, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau, Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and former Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff and more political bigwigs were also in attendance.
Lots of formers and pretty people on that list…
Jennifer Hudson sang the national anthem to kick off the event.

President Donald Trump was not invited to the event,
Of course. Another chance to insult the man they have good cause to wish never even approached the White House, let alone won it twice despite the margin of cheating. How much do you suppose he cost them — each and all — with his DOGE and other cuts, dear Reader?
as the focus was on welcoming Obama supporters, Obama Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett said, according to NBC News.
Any chance the contractors bills were paid before the ceremony?
