It was at the height of the 2008 presidential election campaign, not long after Bush publicly endorsed John McCain as his successor.
Naturally the election came up in conversation. Trying to be even-handed and polite, the Brits said something diplomatic about McCains campaign, expecting Bush to express some warm words of support for the Republican candidate.
Not a chance. I probably wont even vote for the guy, Bush told the group, according to two people present.I had to endorse him. But Id have endorsed Obama if theyd asked me.
Endorse Obama? Cue dumbfounded look from British officials, followed by some awkward remarks about the Washington weather. Even Gordon Browns poker face gave way to a flash of astonishment.

True! Beyond ridiculous
“Im not buying this horseshit.”
Nor I, and I am NOT a fan.
No, this is not about motivating their base, it's about making sure they stay on Dub's case every time he makes an appearence anywhere they trickle out another misinformation tale. There's some reason that they're so nervous over Bush having a forum. I know they thought he was dead with a stake through his heart after spending six years dishing out more lies and disinformation than they've ever managed to shove on the public before, but the fact that he's still around can't be the reason they're nervous either. Interesting.

What a crock!
This could be true. Especially considering how Bush has treated ObaMAO.
And McCain is? That’s news to me.
Bush had ample reason to resent McCain.
Psssssssssst! Neither is McCain...
No kidding. Ther are a pair of a-holes.
Indeed Bush is far from kind to McCain in the parts of his new book that relate his complex relationship with the Arizona senator. Ive yet to see a copy, so I dont know whether he mentions how he voted. But it might be worth asking. He was certainly wavering.
Commenting on something he hasn't even read yet?
Hard to tell if this is BS but if we watch what Rove is doing now in trying to defeat Republicans and their voters in support of a one party system of Rino/Dem international socialists, I would say it is likely to be true that Bush saw little differnece between Obama and McInternationalist.
Bush bailed out the banksters and he seriously expanded Federal power and spending. In addition he filled the GOP with Rinos. Listen to his wife and daughters...
Must be a Freeper.
I’m tired of Bush. He was good on the war, but little else. The Left is liking him more and the Conservatives less.
It’s better that he is not making statements on zero’s presidency. Who know’s, he might even agree with some of zero’s domestic policies from time to time. Scary thought.
Did he mention his lost/found brother, Bubba?
My call: Bovine excrement.
Smells to high heaven!
