President George Bush endorses John McCain as the bearer of the Republican party for presidency this coming election. Though its not yet official, John McCain have clinched the lead on the GOP nomination by getting the requisite 1,191 convention delegates. Bush had made this effort despite his unpopularity on the population in order to gain a lead for the Republicans on the presidency. Since, Obama and Clinton is still trying to win the Democrat slate, McCain will try to solidify his presence in the Republican side.

Bush said on the Rose Garden as he appears with McCain, “”John showed incredible courage, strength of character and perseverance in order to get to this moment and that’s exactly what we need in a president — somebody who can handle the tough decisions, somebody who won’t flinch in the face of danger.”

“It’s not about me,” Bush said. “I’ve done my bit.”

The waiting to be nominated Republican, hopefully wanted the president to be on his side during the campaign as Bush had promised. Well, lots of opinions have been gathered concerning this issue. Some said that it will hurt McCain in the process because Bush had supported him, but some say’s that the endorsement could help him to beat the soon to be Democrat candidate.
