Back in 2006: Then-President George W. Bush and then-Gov. Mitt Romney

"I'm for Mitt Romney."

With four words, , former President George W. Bush on Tuesday confirmed what was pretty obvious 鈥� he is supporting his fellow Republican's bid for the White House.

But :

"Romney's campaign doesn't foresee the 43rd president playing a substantive role in the race. Aides are carefully weighing how much the former president should be involved in the GOP convention 鈥� and for good reason. The Bush fatigue that was a drag on GOP nominee John McCain four years ago, and on the country, still lingers, including among Republicans."
