Edwards Endorses Barack Obama
I predicted this months ago. No, not that Edwards would endorse Obama, but that Edwards is a spineless jellyfish that would pull exactly what he did today. John Edwards wants a part of this next administration, whether that means being VP on the ticket again or a cabinet position. He wants it really bad and he wanted to make certain he didn’t screw it up. So he waited. He waited until it was almost completely certain who the nominee would be and then he came out and blessed them with his endorsement, when it no longer mattered. This guy didn’t even have the gonads to choose between Obama and Clinton when it was still up in the air and that is why he didn’t belong anywhere near the White House. He really is a worm.
Agreed. Edwards is an empty suit.
I’ve always called him a “Hollow Armani”.
After all, when you’ve used junk science to squeeze as much money out of as many doctors as he has, not just any suit will do. It’s gotta be a snazzy one.
Edwards said he would endorse when the Democratic Party had determined the winner.
North Carolina determined the winner. In addition, Hillary would not stop attacking Obama.
It was great strategic planning for the Obama campaign to have the endorsement today in front of a large audience in Michigan. Took the steam out of Hillary’s W. Virginia win. Plus Hillary was on national TV at the same time as the endorsement.
Though neither the Obama campaign nor the Clinton campaign is forthcoming with the costs of its promises, the National Taxpayers Union estimates that the Obama platform will increase federal spending by $307.3 billion. The Clinton platform’s price tag is $226.1 billion. No rollback of the Bush tax cuts would cover that kind of wanton spending increase. The Heritage Foundation puts the figure at less than $60 billion annually. Amazed by the dishonesty of the presidential candidates, The Washington Post’s economics columnist lamented this week that “the candidates dissemble because they believe that Americans don’t want the truth. It would be too upsetting.”
“Campaigning on Ignorance”

Hey, “Press 7″, how many times have you been the victim of malpractice? Or how about someone in your family? And “junk science”? The only people who use that word are the ones who do “junk thinking.” We call them “Republicans.”
