Today's big news: Georgie is reading a book |

Bush reads up on Teddy Roosevelt, US troops
CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush is spending part
of his Christmas holiday reading about the post-presidential years of
Theodore Roosevelt and the lives of U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan
and elsewhere.
Bush was reading "When Trumpets Call: Theodore Roosevelt After the
White House," by Patricia O'Toole, and "Imperial Grunts: The American
Military on the Ground," by Robert Kaplan while on holiday at his
Texas ranch, said White House spokesman Trent Duffy.
The book about Teddy Roosevelt is about the former president's African
safari and his attempt to re-enter politics after he left the White
House in 1909.
"Imperial Grunts" is an account of the daily lives of U.S. elite
forces as told by journalist Robert Kaplan, who toured with several of
the units in various countries.
Asked whether there was any significance that Bush, who has three
years left in office, was reading a book about the post-White House
years of a former president, Duffy replied that Bush is a "history
buff" and "avid reader."
"The president knows full well that he's got a lot of time left in
this second term and he's going to accomplish big things, as he's
talked about repeatedly," Duffy said.
In addition to reading, Bush is also spending time on two of his
favorite pursuits, clearing brush and biking.

"The president knows full well that he's got a lot of time left in
this second term and he's going to accomplish big things,
Let's all hope not as big as another 9/11 or Iraq invasion.
