Wow, Grrr, this wasn't focused toward Bush- I was looking to the future, and Bush is HISTORY. Guess you're a little paranoid!

There is an old Jewish custom that each king had to make his own hand copy of the Torah.
I think every president and every member of Congress should be made to sit down and copy the Consitution by hand and the Declaration of Independence.
There required reading should be the Federalist papers.

If it's important to you, then you just have to treat reading like any other chore. Set aside a time each day to read and make yourself do it. If I were you, I'd probably do it first thing in the morning to get it over with. I was an honors student too, but I never enjoyed reading long, boring books. It's just something you have to do. By the way, I presume you're reading text books from your description. If so, it might help to take notes as you read to keep your mind on it. Otherwise, your mind will wander and you'll find yourself having no idea what you just spent an hour reading!

The Art of War, because it has been a mainstay for centuries that is required reading for every officer in the military. Being Commander in Chief this is a necessity.
I would hope he would read Major Newspapers from the north, south, east, and west. Just so he could see the spin. Both liberal and Conservative magazines from time to time such as Newsweek and The Weekly Standard. Also, books written by foreign leaders and their philosophy, helping him to mediate with them.
I would prefer a president with a PHD. in history for those of whom forget it are condemned to repeat it. (Abraham Lincoln)

I would like our president to be an intellectual, a man who likes to read and knows world history so we don't repeat the past. Reading the news is a plus, but a daily dose of the Orielly Factor would serve best.

None of those. I would want him or her to read a book called "Politics of Meaning, and all of Neale Donald Walsch's books, and others with the same messages! Because I would want him to understand the value of humanity, and that we are all one, and to understand what a truly evolved society is like, and how it is run! *sm*

I would prefer a president who did not read any of the MAGAZINES you mentioned.
I would prefer a president who wrote & read books. And had a strong knowlege of the constitution and stuck to its laws when voting.

After what we have experienced with Bush, I would be happy to just a president who can read.

I would prefer them to read the bills put in front of them before they sign or veto them.. after of course they have read and reread teh constitution.
I would prefer that they full read intelligence briefings before making decisions.
I would prefer they read public opinion more.
