Barker observed that his two sources for the quote note that Bush had been asked by British officials in a private meeting that included British Prime Minister Harold Brown what Bush thought of McCain and the U.S. presidential election. According to Barker, his two sources said Bush responded:
“I probably won’t even vote for the guy,” Bush told the group, according to two people present. “I had to endorse him. But I’d have endorsed Obama if they’d asked me."
The newamerican website must have pretty shoddy proof-reading and/or fact-checking - they called the previous British Prime Minister Harold Brown instead of Gordon Brown. Keep up, lads.

Bush never said this. The New American seems to have very low standards when it comes to sources.
