No wallet, no keys: president travels light

One of the benefits of being president is not having to lug things around with you in your pockets.

One of the benefits of being president is not having to lug things around with you in your pockets.

A curious Argentine newspaper reporter who interviewed President Bush Tuesday asked what he carries.

Bush stood up, fished around in his pockets and came up with a single hankie.

Said Bush to the Spanish-speaking reporter: "No dinero, no mas, no wallet."

The president doesn't carry any cash, doesn't need a cell phone and doesn't lug around any keys, since all his needs are carefully catered to, including people who open doors everywhere he goes.

When the reporter asked if the president had a watch, Bush proudly thrust out his wrist and said, "Si, Timex."
