Blindness
New Challenges for Clinton and Voters

In a startling turn of events, Hillary Clinton, the democratic candidate for 
President, announced this morning that she has retinal atrophy and will, in 
all likelihood, be totally blind within three years.

How this announcement will effect her campaign to be the Democratic nominee 
is unclear.  Flanked by her opthalmologist, Dr. John Freemont, she said, 
"This campaign goes on as usual.  If a blind person can be the Governor of 
New York, a blind person can be President."

Reporters were clearly taken aback a bout how to ask questions and not seem 
patronizing.  Niels Gunard of the Economist asked, "Do you think that your 
blindness will create problems?"  Clinton answered that she has been a 
problem solver, "all of my life" and, "I'll solve the problems my lack of 
sight may create."

April fools.
