Bush's Ranch Serves Down-Home Diplomacy

Bush's Ranch Serves Down-Home Diplomacy
Aug 3, 2:19 PM (ET)
By NEDRA PICKLER

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - President Bush has turned his remote ranch into a stage for down-home diplomacy, where a barbecue grill and a pickup truck have become his favorite tools for dealing with world leaders.

The 1,600-acre property in central Texas is a place where aides say the president feels most comfortable and can spend more get-to-know-you time with his guests than in hurried Washington. On Thursday, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe will be the 14th foreign leader to visit the ranch.

Frankly, 1600 acres ain't near big enough to be a Texas ranch...a front yard maybe. :eyes:
