CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush is spending part of his Christmas holiday reading . . .
Bush, reading? Right. :rofl:



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 .

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," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said.

In addition to 'reading', Bush is also spending time on two of his favorite pursuits, clearing brush and biking.
