FILE President Bush is given a team football jersey by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, left, and head coach Bill Belichick, right, as he met with the 2004 National Football League champion New England Patriots, in this May 10, 2004 file photo in the Rose Garden of the White House. Since August, President Bush has welcomed to the White House just one foreign leader _ the largely U.S.-installed interim prime minister of Iraq. No other meetings are on the horizon until Bush goes to Chile in late November for a gathering of Asia-Pacific leaders. The same period last fall was quite a different story: the president played host, in the Oval Office and at the Camp David presidential retreat, to leaders from seven nations while aides put out word of several more mini-summits to come. That disparity is just one example of how official presidential duties have been pared to a minimum as Bush concentrates on his super-close, bare-knuckles campaign to occupy the White House for another four years.
