CRAWFORD, Texas -- President Bush called Lance Armstrong on Sunday to congratulate him on a sixth straight Tour de France title.

"You're awesome," Bush told Armstrong.

Bush "congratulated him on behalf of the nation, and told him his country was proud of him and that he was an outstanding athlete," White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said.

Bush spent the morning clearing brush at his ranch but came into his house about the time his fellow Texan crossed the finish line, Buchan said. The president watched TV coverage after the race's finish.
