A Reader, A President


I found this link posted on another blog; I liked it, and I think it’s fitting to re-post here. However you view GWB’s presidency, you’ve got to extend credit for his personal literacy program. If the American President, with all of the pressures and demands on his time, can still read dozens of books in a year, what excuse do we have for any lesser reading accomplishment?

And (although this is not, and will not be, a political blog), I challenge anyone hooked by the popular opinion of GWB as ignorant, unlearned, and dumb to compare their reading accomplishments to his. I bet you’d lose.
