John McCain’s honeymoon after getting his party’s nomination came to a screeching halt today as he received President Bush’s endorsement at the White House.

John McCain looked very uncomfortable and at times agitated as the President was speaking, and I can’t say I blame him, as Bush sounded like he was going to be passing the torch to himself as the next President! After rudely cutting McCain off during his acceptance speech, Bush put himself in center stage and acted like this was his day in the spotlight.

As the press was asking questions, Bush hardly let McCain get a word in edgewise. A reporter asked the pair how McCain would make the case that you’re going to provide the change that the voters seem to want. Bush quickly and rudely cut in and declared “McCain is not going change.”

To be fair, I’m not a McCain supporter, but seeing as he’s the man who will be trying to keep the White House in Republican hands next year, the best thing he can do for himself and the Republican party is stay as far away from Bush as possible. If the conduct of the President today is any indication of what McCain can expect from him in terms of endorsements, he’s doomed. Bush is going to be McCain’s kryptonite.

Watch the press conference from the White House in full, and watch McCain’s face and mannerisms as Bush steals his glory.
