Don't think Bush is against this in principle. His point was that the system by which the drugs are coming into the states is unsafe. To make it safe we are talking another expansion of government, which means money and time. Bush was being thoughtful, unlike Kerry. aei-brookings.org

We aren't talking about importing U.S. made drugs that have approvals from the FDA. Thats legal. Its illegal to import and sell drugs that do not have FDA approval.

Prescription drugs from Canada is an example. While I agree 100% that drug prices are too high, importing from Canada is not the answer. If everyone from the USA did it, there simply would not be enough drugs and the drug companies would only sell a certain amount to Canada(they have already intimated this). And some Canadian drugstores no longer sell to Americans bc there will be no more for Canadians. This is clearly not a LT solution, but a simplistic populist response to the issue of high drug prices.
