G W Bush Romney By Matt Negrin ABCNews
Mitt Romney has the support of George W. Bush.

“I’m for Mitt Romney,” Bush told ABC News this morning as the doors of an elevator closed on him, after he gave a speech on human rights a block from his old home — the White House.

Bush’s endorsement isn’t a surprise, given that Romney is virtually the Republican Party’s nominee. But the 43rd president has been absent from the 2012 campaign and hasn’t made any public comments showing his support for Romney.

Romney did get the formal backing of Bush’s parents, President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, in March.

People who worked in the Bush administration say they doubt the former president will be campaigning for Romney this year. Even in his post-presidential life, Bush still gets a lot of the blame for the poor economy, according to polls, though he has become more popular since leaving office.

Bush was speaking today at an event to promote the George W. Bush Presidential Center’s campaign for human rights activists around the world.

An endorsement by Adolph Hilter would do Romney less damage.

You have the support of the man who bankrupted America, couldn't find Bin Laden, got us into the Iraq war which killed hundreds of thousands of troops just so he take out the man who FAILED to assassinate his father, and overall has proven himself time and time again to be one of the worst presidents the United States ever had. Way to go, Champ.

It's about 50/50 actually he will be able to defend his record which many democrats try to use against Romney but thanks to Obama' total incompetence makes him look like a genius. But he also has a lot of negative coonotations attatched to him and some of the anti-war crowd that might of voted for Romney out of spite for Obama's deceptions in that area will not now.

What does it matter, Obama is going to get another term either way, it's just a question of wether it will be a black or a white Obama.
