(Link about Dubya's endorsement)
My response:
Not only that, it's a huge relief for me.
For a while I thought he might endorse Obama for following his policies.

(82,849 posts)1. Then why doesn't someone call a press conference?
If an endorsement is "BIG," you'd think the endorser or the endorsee would be anxious to get in front of a camera and a phalanx of microphones and shout it from the rooftops. As it is, Bush gabbled "I'm for Mitt Romney" just as the elevator doors closed on the assembled reporters. Ringingly tepid stuff there, but as far as Romney endorsements go, I suppose it's one for the bulletin board at campaign HQ.

Linking Dubya and Mitt will never be a negative for Obama.
