presidents worth more than us? Options

[T00000]

So I recently came across this article on yahoo news. One section struck me as odd:

Several surgeons uninvolved in Clinton's care said they didn't think his doctors would risk treating him with newer, experimental approaches like robotic surgery or laparoscopy, sometimes called keyhole surgery.


"With three-vessel disease in a president, I don't think I'd be doing it," said Dr. W. Randolph Chitwood, chief of cardiovascular surgery at East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., and a spokesman for the American College of Cardiology.

Does this mean that average people are less important than presidents? Or what? Because if these procedures are "dangerous" then why would it be okay to do them on other people and risk their lives more than the lives of presidents? It worries me you know... hm.

Hmm, this is getting funny.

Why are celebraties famous and rich? It's because they entertain PEOPLE and PEOPLE give them that status. PEOPLE are the ones who put celebraties/ and the famous on a pedestal and worship them. This shouldn't be a surprise.

Why aren't we equal? Because PEOPLE put themselves into a lower position when they idolize celebraties.

On the grand scale of things, is Clinton anymore important than the average person? I would say so, after all, he has accomplished more than "Joe" can, or else, why would he need body guards and a better retirement plan than most of us? He changed MANY LIVES, domestic and foreign, can we really say the same about ourselves?

However, being more important in that sense doesn't mean that he's any better as a HUMAN. He is just a regular man, who bleeds and feels pain as any other, and this is especially true when you consider his flaws and character. If you look at it from this aspect, then no, he isn't any more important than a us.
