Bush told Brits he would have endorsed Obama

According to the Financial Times, in 2008, during the height of the presidential campaign and after Bush had publicly endorsed John McCain, George W Bush told a group of British dignitaries including the British Prime Minister that he didn’t like McCain.

I probably won’t even vote for the guy. I had to endorse him. But I’d have endorsed Obama if they’d asked me.

    Then I realized you said “Bush”–you didn’t specify which Bush.

  8. Well, as they say, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Bush wasn’t running against Obama – and Obama is not entirely different than Bush in terms of policy.
