Fred Thompson - for President?

Fred Thompson, well-known actor in Law and Order has announced that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer, nearly three years ago. He is 64 and feels he is in remission. He has never felt ill from it and this is a very slow-growing type of cancer, probably not life threatening. He decided to announce this on the Fox New Channel and also ABC Radio because he is considering running for president and felt the public should know. He doesn't feel it is a big deal as far as his health is concerned but he only knows as much as a person can know about such things. I think he was being very fair with the public by letting them know, don't you?
