Subscribe to RSSTomorrow in Houston, former President George H.W. Bush will appear with Mitt Romney and formally offer his endorsement of of the former Massachusetts governor for president, the Romney campaign confirms to NBC News.
The formal endorsement at the former president's office in downtown Houston comes after a series of quasi-endorsements by Bush -- in the form of newspaper interviews and public comments praising Romney, and on the heels of the recent endorsement by Bush's son Jeb, the former governor of Florida.
In Houston, Romney will appear before the media with Bush and his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush, for the first time since the couple told the Houston Chronicle they were supporting Romney. The couple has been somewhat active in supporting Romney's candidacy already, with Mrs. Bush recording robo-calls for Romney in Ohio and Vermont.
"Mitt and Ann are dear friends of George and Barbara. Governor Romney is honored to have their endorsement," a Romney aide told NBC News this morning.

And Bush 41 is scheduled to endorse Romney again On May 23rd, June 13th, July 11th and August 3rd but only with Barbara's permission and after he's taken out the garbage
Romney 2012 !!
Hey wait a minute. I thought Romney was the GOP's poster boy...you know....the one they WANT to win..... If this is true why did they allow W. Bush to endorse him?
Like if Romney didn't have enough troubles, Bush goes and endorses him. Any one who raised Jr. doesn't know what he's doing.
Whoopee! BFD that and a four bucks will get Mitt a box of Raisin Bran.
Well this wasn't 43 it was 41. George H. W. Bush. Still not the biggest or best endorsement.

Geez, can Bush 41 still stand up? How old is that guy, and why would it be any surprise that Republicans support other Republicans?
Obama / Biden 2012
That's too bad. GHWB is the last real Republican. Now, they're all whack-job talibangelicals and Birchers on steroids.
When Dubya became president, the country was at peace, the national debt had been cut in half. National unemployment was at its lowest in decades, and the economy was stable. After 8 years in office, this rich man's son who was working as a hobby, had embroiled us in two wars, quadrupled the national debt, managed to raise unemployment to levels not seen since the Great Depression, and nearly brought the economy to its knees. Yes, yes, yes! Let's all follow his advice and give another rich man's son the job! NOT!!!
Dubya managed to run every single company he ever ran right into bankruptcy. It was no different when he ran the government, except he didn't have quite enough time to completely destroy the American ecomony, almost, but not quite.
Obama out in 2012 ....
Save what's left of America ....
@ bigbenalaska
So, with an obstructionist Congress set on self enrichment and more for the top 1%, he couldn't fix what Dubya took 8 years to wreck. Are you really surprised? Maybe if Congress was as concerned with doing what's right for the country instead of how to make Wall Street and big bankers richer than ever, some of the problems would have been fixed. With Mittens in the White House, everyone in the middle class will be paying 50% income tax so the 1% don't have to pay any.
an endorsement from the last Repub one termer to a never gonna be candidate? "Read my lips, no new Texans!" Well thank god for that one, but I'm sure if old Ricky boy would've stayed in, he would've gotten the endorsement instead of the Mitt.
If it looks like Bush, lies like a Bush, sells out the middle class like a Bush.......
Establishment backstabber endorses establishment backstabber. This is news?
*yawn*
Never saw that coming... lol
How hard did Pappy Bush have to hold his nose?
In other news, this is sure to upset the RWNJ's;
The GNOP sure knows how to pick themselves some 'winners'!
Where's Dubya in all of this? Will he be at the party? lol
Dub's endorsement would be the kiss of death to a Party and a candidate who are already heading for a crushing defeat in November. Etch-A-Sketch doesn't need any more grief in his life.

Good news, Feisty, and those poll numbers are before the one on one debate begins!
It's a nice sunny day, time to head outside for some spring yard work.
Sharpton endorses Obama ....
oh yeah, now for sure am not voting for Romney!!!!!!
are you even coherent? Wait, maybe you're that Jet Blue pilot that freaked out mid flight. He did similar babbling like that.
Feisty making lame unfunny jokes about Republicans!
*yawn*
never say that coming...
Avoiding the unpleasant subject of the demise of ObamaCare, Feisty?
Run along little bobby - you're late for your daily vaginal probe!
How cute - on top of his expertise, all things right wing, our buddy is now a psychic to boot!
You're a real jack of all trades & MASTER of none, hon...
If you don't mind, rather then play the speculation game, I'll be waiting for the actual ruling!
Not looking good for ObamaCare:
Liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg weakly attempted to salvage something from ObamaCare:
Not looking good Libs, not for you anyway. Looks like Freedom is going to win out.

In case you missed it Snuffy... see above.
But by all means, continue on with your fixation - at least it keeps you from posting your usual bull@!$%#!
PS: You might want to think about taking a 'time out' for awhile - I can smell your anxiety & quite frankly - it STINKS! ;o)
Maybe Bob the McDonnell who will never be VP probe guy could explain why it is not okay for government to mandate purchase of health care when every person uses it from the time of birth but why republicans think it is okay for government to mandate a medically unncessary, expensive and invasive ultrasound and order doctors to perform it and to be paid for by the woman placing government smack dab into the doctor's offices and private lives. Can't have it both ways GOP. It is not a question of freedom in one case without it being a question of freedom in the other. Go ahead, Bob, explain it.
"Not looking good Libs, not for you anyway. Looks like Freedom is going to win out"
JAS1, personally, I don't like the freedom to keep paying for the free-loaders (uninsured) who show up at the ER and must be treated/stabilized regardless of their abilitly to pay.
Seems like you should support making folks take 'personal responsibility' (pay) for their own health insurance rather than visiting it on the insured population.
The insured end up paying for the uninsured.
Jody -- Bob exits when someone asks him a question.
Oh Bob, where art thou? Come, answer a few questions. Pretty please.
Jo Ann,
Have a great day with your speculation.
But your use of the word freedom is rather limiting. The word freedom always includes freedom from and freedom for...The word never sands alone.
I myself see the courts as a place for justice. so I will take my word and speculate how our country would look if we had justice for all to see a doctor, treat diseases, promote wellness and comfort the dieing.
As Jody says I am having a good day.
Jo Ann
You will still be mandated to pay for other's ER trips. EMTALA in 1986
Your tax dollars at work.
Is that your kind of freedom?

I've got news for you Bobby, IF Obamacare were to be overturned, all that does is practically guarantee the voters will come out and fire all the Republicans that stand in the way of Obamacare being re-enacted.
You're avoiding the unpleasant fact that millions of Republicans support Obamacare, and millions more will also support President Obama's re-election.
Obama / Biden 2012
that's okay. Let the right leaning Supreme Court puff out their chest and rule against ACA. When 100 million Americans can no longer afford to carry outrageously over priced health care insurance, the message will be taken to the streets. So you cowardly tea clowns better get prepared for it to get real ugly out there. Oh yes, and enjoy your Medicare you hypocritical morons.
Not a big deal.
If Romney had stronger competition, Bush's endorsement would have spelled certain death for his campaign. At this point it appears Romney is the chosen one on the GOP side and it was safe for Bush to make an endorsement without losing face on another issue.
Good Morning Brian! ☺
Good Morning Feisty!
I hope you have a great day here today. I'm about ready to step out for the remainder of the day.
I saw your post ( #2 ) and the article. This has to be very bad news for the GOP. As long as the numbers continue like this we could have a landslide election not seen in quite some time. President Obama is shoring up some very large numbers of the electorate w/PA, FL,and OH along with the almost certain numbers from the largest states of CA and NY. Difficult at best for the GOP to do anything but cry in their beer at the bowling alley at this point.
We are still a long ways out - although if the trend continues the 2012 election will make 1996 look like a squeaker... lol
Fact of the matter is, American's just aren't feeling the ♥ for Willard!
Enjoy your day!
It certainly appears at this point the election is Mr. Obama's to win or loose. He is sitting in a very comfortable position of watching a fractious GOP expend its coffers fighting within itself, unable to produce a candidate the party can rally around. When the primary dust settles how far can ABO carry/ unite the Republicans?
I believe the SCOTUS decision on the AHC Act is going to weigh heavily upon the election. Interesting few months coming up!
@Mark
I would say your current analysis is pretty much on the mark. The only difference from previous campaigns is that the Obama campaign will not have the airwaves to itself when they "swiftboat' Romney. The Republican SuperPACS will also be on the air. I do think that Obama will be able to drive Romney's negatives even higher and I don't know how he'll recover from that.
The swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania are going to be interesting because neither candidate can connect with the voters there.
So Feisty, it's OK to speculate on the NOvember Election, but not OK to speculate on the SCOTUS deciision due in June?
You can't even keep your story straight on the same thread!
Sweet!
WCA chimes in - here's a clue, free of charge!
Get back to us when you can differentiate between poll numbers (facts) & op-ed pieces (opinion)!
M'Kay?
You might think about taking a 'time out' as well & practice a bit more before wading into the deep end! Right now, the only place you are fit for, is the kiddie pool - peaches! ;o)
In your case the (R) badge you wear, stands for 'Rookie! lol
Sure Feisty, whatever you say.
Here I thought Obama had the market cornered on lame excuses.
if the trend continues the 2012 election will make 1996 look like a squeaker... lol
That, Red, is called speculation.
Could you also point me to where Poll numbers are defined as facts? Cuz, I'm pretty sure they are just poll numbers. Here is a definition of a fact"
"Feisty Redhead is on First Read nearly every day from early in the morning until late at night, spewing vitriol toward any one who diagrees with her and rarely offering any comments of substance."
If it weren't for double standards you wouldn't have any standards at all.
No come on, don't disappoint. Get the last word in. Lame though it may be.
"Ahh...Mitt Romney...has the vision thing...brightest point of light...understands laser scanners like I couldn't...definitely will probably be a strong leader...lower taxes...freedom...family values...sanctity of life...Bar likes him. So, to summarize, vision, light, lasers, taxes, freedom, values, Bar."
There's your endorsement speech. Usually the millstone takes down the victim. This time the script is flipped.
Oh the memories of Dana Carvey

What the heck, didn't the first Bush 41 endorsement of Romney work?
all done by the reverends to stir up hate. And by God it worked. The kid was a saint and the white guy was the devil.
Where did you expect him to go? Romney's where the money is!
MSN stop your censorship bull@!$%# and let people post the comments they want..Yes I am talking to the fat slob moderating this site..@!$%# YOU!
The Kid was stalked and killed by this murderer ..The Black boy had every right to stand his ground against this murderer...
The Reason the SHOOTER has not been arrested is because DADDY IS A JUDGE!
NO JUSTICE? NO PEACE!
Funny isn't it, because the head lines read like this is suppose to be plus.
And still not a peep from George W. Bet the GOP has told him to remain out of sight and silent...maybe that way people will forget all about him. NOT!
I wonder why the GOP/TEA/Dumb FUX NEWS party is hiding George W. Bush. Think about it folks, where is George W.? You have seen or heard from him in over 3 years and he led the party for 2 terms!!! Granted it's understandable that we don't see him on a speaking tour since the guy couldn't even read his teleprompter properly. Dumb FUX NEWS opiniontainment entertainers never talk about George W. except to say none of our current situation has anything to do with him.
Hey, that's what they are afraid of!!! George Bush was in office from 2000 to 2008 and during 2000 to 2006 Republicans had majorities in the House of Reps and the Senate and a conservative majority in the Supreme Court!!!
And the country has been struggling to recover ever since...My guess is you won't see George W. Bush for a long, long time...He's probably in a spider hole somewhere in Texas hunkered down still waiting for the Apocalypse...
hope jr. dont endorse his twin brother alfred e newman
BUSH! Hmmm....Those evil flying Republican monkeys are getting ready to take flight again. "FLY, MY PRETTIES! FLY!" But, I seriously doubt that the Bush monkey will be able to make the long flight. With grey hairs under his wings and brittle claws, he really needs to sit this one out.
Romney and Bush are related , from the same pack ,what did you expect ?. [ COUSINS ]
I thought George H. W. had a brain injury and was talking to himself like ROnald Reaguns.
George H. W. Bush made the news today endorsing Romney. I think the last time Bush 41 made news is when he parachuted out of a plane or something. What I can’t believe is how the media had 25 yeas to do an in-depth investigation of G. H. W. Bush and his dealings as head of the CIA and the evil works done while he was Vice-President. How come everyone in the World suspects but so-called journalists never took the time to find out the truth behind Ollie North, Iran-Contra, Tosh Plumblee, buried gold miners in Africa, covering up his sons crimes or abortions, laundering cocaine profits through GOP campaign contributions and the sabotaging of the Iran Hostage rescue mission during the Carter Presidency.
I could go on with more legitimate evidence against the Bush Crime Family but why beat a dead horse. Bush 41 and 43 will soon be in Hell’s everlasting “enhanced interrogation techniques”
Our Justice system is a joke when it comes to the rich W.A.S.P.’s. The LAW would rather abuse the “little people” while the silver spoon trust baby con artist ravage and expatriate most of our nation’s wealth and resources. I know, I KNOW… it just a coincidence every time a Bush is in the White House Americans have to suffer through a banking/financial crisis.
YES! The results of Reagan/Bush, Bush/Cheney and the Republican controlled Congress (1994-2006) speak for themselves. Waste, fraud, abuse of power, scandal, corruption, media consolidation, sexual deviancy, welfare for the rich, soldiers getting electrocuted in showers, arms dealing, environmental deregulation, war profiteering, Constitutional violations and a corporate crime wave of epic proportions. The greatest looting of a nation’s wealth & resources in the history of mankind… Yet these shameless hypocrites have the audacity to act they’re the responsible adults at the table, BULLS***! They should all be in a crowded holding cell wearing chains…
