JERUSALEM - President Bush said Friday he doesn’t take it personally when Democratic and Republican presidential candidates embrace change as a major campaign theme.
“Oh, listen, if you’re running for office, you can’t run for office and not say, ‘I’m an agent of change,’” Bush told NBC News’ David Gregory. “That’s just American politics. If I were running for office at this point I’d be saying, ‘Vote for me, I’m — I’m gonna be an agent of change.’”
The president declined to comment on any of the current presidential candidates, but he left little doubt he would support the eventual Republican nominee.
