Sporting lavender socks, George H.W. Bush endorses Romney

HOUSTON, Texas – Formalizing a decision he made last December, former President George H. W. Bush made official today his endorsement of presidential candidate Mitt Romney during a joint appearance in Houston.

"Barbara and I are very proud to fully and enthusiastically endorse and support our old friend, Mitt Romney," Bush told reporters gathered at his 9th-floor office for the four-minute event. "He's a good man. He'll make a great president and we just wish him well. We're delighted he's here."

Bush, 87, first signaled his support for Romney in a December interview with the Houston Chronicle, telling the paper he thought Romney was a "fine person" and "the best choice for us."


As Romney completed a two-day fundraising swing through the Lone Star State, the two men, along with former First Lady Barbara Bush, gathered before the television cameras to make the endorsement official.

Bush joined a recent chorus of Republicans, including Senator Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican who endorsed Romney last night, to come off the sidelines and signal their support and it was time to end the distracting primary fight and for Republicans to focus on beating President Barack Obama this fall.

"I do think the time for the party to get behind Governor Romney," Bush said today, his legs crossed to reveal sharp-looking lavender socks. "With no further ado, here's the man."

Mrs. Bush also had high praise for Romney's wife, Ann, predicting she would be "the greatest first lady. Next to Laura." Laura Bush is her daughter-in-law.

By all accounts, the former president and Romney have been friendly for years, and in a statement today, Romney referred to the former president as his "mentor." The two share mostly moderate records, the experience of growing up in well-to-do, politically-connected families (Bush's father was a U.S. senator; Romney's a governor of Michigan), and even some advisers.

Wrapping up the brief on-camera chat, Bush predicted Romney would "do well" in Texas's May 29th Primary. Romney told reporters that he had not met with Bush’s son, former President George W. Bush, during his time in Texas. The younger Bush lives in Dallas.

“You know, I haven’t met with President George W. Bush,” Romney said. “We speak from time to time.”

    These colors can be found at just about EVERY protest in the United States, and Mr. Obama routinely wears a Purple neck tie which was given to him as a CHRISTmas present.

    Paul-Florida,

    Right on...I thought the same thing: what the hell does Bush 41's socks have to do with anything?

    I can conclude (without any proof) that MSNBC decided to throw the purple socks in the mix to somehow tie Bush Sr.'s choice of apparel to his recommendation.

    Again--and I'll say this for *both* MSNBC and Fox--we're reminded that true, unbiased reporting is dead in America.

    And since media organizations seem to rely on the old adage, "Give the people what they want", we probably have ourselves to blame...

      #1.22 - Fri Mar 30, 2012 12:01 PM EDT

      One more reason to never consider Romney for anything! He will never be any better then Obama, and endorsements from either Bush reinforces that fact. Neither Bush was worth a chit, especially GW who wasted money as bad as any democrat, lied his @ss off, and left things worse. What a shame that the come from a state as great as Texas. It's too bad we cant force them to live in Washington or San Fransico.

        GT - you are relying on flawed polls. In the past month a number of pollsters started using registered voter mix applied to likely voters. What this means is that the results of the poll will show more favorably toward democrat candidate and positions. Seems the Republicans are more likely to turn out in larger percentages of the registered voters than democrats.

        PPP - a democrat poll showes Mandel and Sen Brown tied. Today Quinippiac released a poll showing Brown defeating Mandel by 10 points. What was really curious is that both polls used about the same ratio of voters for turnout. Makes me wonder if some pollers are using only solid democrat areas in their poll to eliminate seeing how many defections are taking place among the broader spectrum of democrat voters.

The Country's wealth is held by a Very Very Bad and NAUGHTY 5%. it is then that "THE MADAM" made her debut. After the second year of the French Revolution 150,000 aristocrat Heads rolled off of her Bastule. The same WILL happen again SOON.

The tide HAS turned against polarizing, politics-for-profit individuals on either side of the aisle who do anything -- say anything -- to demean their "opponents" and ensure the money keeps rolling in from the special interest groups.

                      She cant handle the truth, it makes her angry and irrational. That coupled with the mounting notion of Obama not getting a second term really makes many on the left resort to childish behavior.

                      Unlike arguments which lefties never lose due to their uncanny ability to deflect and switch topics till they find a winning argument, to which, they claim wins all prior arguments, they can not (very well) meddle with the election process. It pains them that "the little People" get a voice from time to time..

                      the headline seems a bit misleading. those aren't just "lavender socks," those are argyles. and give the guy some credit. at 87 he can still get them matched, purposely or not we don't know.

                      Argyles are worn by the 1% , so expect snide remarks from leftists with smelly feet who wear Birkies with no socks..

                      I trust Romney will not wear argyles, no doubt he would be attacked for playing footsie with the wealthy sock-holders..

                      I wore argyle socks once while playing footsie under the table with a pantyhose clad foot of a married woman whose husband was sitting next to me. The friction made the hair on my legs stand up and gave my pants static cling. Does that make me part of the 1%?

                          Who really cares about this outside of the Romney camp (well, apart from Santorum)? These endorsements are boring and PR. I am pretty sure the Obama camp are not shaking their boots with this news. Then again, they have plenty of other problems to deal with.

                          The Republican establishment was already behind Romney; this is just a visual manifestation of that support. Frankly, if Sarah Palin came out and endorsed Mitt, it would be bigger news in a political sense.

                            I am sure Romney would cringe, but he would have to take it and would be quite relieved. He needs a difference-maker on the "Tea Party" side to actively and enthusiastically endorse him.

                            How that plays in the General with independent moderates, I don't know. It's early days, but he is already going into the election with historic unfavorables. I am just not sure Palin's support would endear him to that group.

                              Purple appears when you mix Red and Blue, perhaps it was a sign that he is moving towards the center now that he has his New World Order that he went on so much about. Of course old republicans can't help but look like centrists since their party has swung so far to the extreme right of the spectrum.

                              No- there are several hundred thousand dead bodies from the W wars. From the incompetence of 9-11, to the criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Katrina debacle of 2005, to the $7.7 trilli0n dollar bailout of Wall Street kept under seal until Nov. 2011, the decadent near decade of W was real.

                                          Wonder if daddy O will tell Mitt how to climb into bed with the enemy? We're talking about purple socks when our president was caught on tape committing treason. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves.

                                            "Good for us" as in the corrupted Republican party or the 'ol Bush/bin Laden friendship?

                                            OMG, who would want or need a Bush endorsement??? That's like saying..."Let's start another war"

                                            No thanks,

                                            Mitt is going to make Obama a two term president for sure. He has NO CHANCE

                                            The Bush family allowed the bin Laden family to leave the United States shortly after 9/11. OMG why would we want another republican in power ever???

                                              ...and Mitt is going to pay off the debt by increasing naval ship production ~66%; continue the war for terror. Anything domestic will take a backseat.

                                                The color of his socks has what to do with this?

                                                Why not have the author tell us what color under garments they are wearing.

                                                It would be as equally irrelevant.

                                                  Random; the special plane ride while everyone else was grounded situation should be common knowledge.

                                                    He did. It was in all the papers, who keeps 11 year old newspapers? And where were you?

                                                    The Random in your name must address your ability to accept facts, similar to pubs accepting science.

                                                      It appears that GH is gettin' on in years and failed to realize that Mittens was the one visiting, a mistake that will soon be corrected I am sure.
