Bush Against Romney
By Robert D. Novak

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- While President George W. Bush has maintained neutrality among contenders for the Republican presidential nomination, he privately expresses to friends his exasperation with Mitt Romney's hard-line stance on immigration.

Bush is upset [with] Romney ...... at the expense of the president's immigration reform. Bush and Sen. John McCain are not close, but the president is grateful for McCain's support on Iraq and immigration.

A footnote: The president's younger brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has not endorsed any presidential candidate. But he and his political allies were behind Romney's losing effort in last Tuesday's Florida primary.

**Well, there you go New Yorkers. All of you who are mad at President Bush for his support of amnesty for illegals, if you vote for McCain you will get more of the same. If you want to stop illegal immigration, vote for Mitt Romney. AND for the record, again, Mitt Romney supported the surge, supports the Troops and the War on Terror effort, and is for keeping Gitmo open. -- J
