U.S. President George W. Bush told Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to eat less, work less and exercise more in a Tuesday phone call after Sharon's release from a Jerusalem hospital after treatment for a mild stroke, a government statement said.
A pale but smiling Sharon was released from Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem on Tuesday morning, declaring that the incident would not have an impact on his work.
Bush called to wish him well, and advised him, "be careful about food, start exercising and cut back on work hours," the statement said.
The president also reportedly told Sharon that he needs him healthy, and said he hoped to see results of physical exercise and weight loss when the two meet in a couple of months.
Bush told Sharon that he views him as a true partner and courageous leader who displays strong leadership and a vision for peace. Bush said that to win the war on terror together, Sharon must stay out of the hospital.

Me to Sharon: Quit before you take Israel down the drain.
How long before we hear, "Bush doesn't work hard, told Sharon to slack off."
Even though I disagree with Mr. Sharon about his pullout of Gaza, I still think he's foxy. He can park his shoes under my Christmas tree anytime.
Shouldn't that be "work fewer hours"?

Perhaps to keep Sharon's blood pressure down we should keep US representatives out of the area for a while.
You are correct. I kept waiting for someone to notice that.
He was Israel's greatest General, but is the worse leader ever. He is destroying Israel from within.
