Edwards:”There are two Americas, you see, and one of them is a big tax shelter in the Caymans.”
The quote belongs to Bryan who provided this link:
Circulating among Iowa labor circles, I am told, is this leaflet, which looks to be a standard opposition-research paper against former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC.
The shocker? It’s from Mr. Positive, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.
Not that it’s a shocker that Obama is drawing differences between he and his opponents. (UPDATE: The Obama campaign says this document came because a local union requested information on the differences between him and his opponents.)
It’s a shocker because Obama chief strategist David Axelrod told ABC News that “One of the things people appreciate about (Obama) is he’s not a cheap-shot artist” and this flier is full of cheap shots.
The cheapest shot : that Edwards somehow has something to do with Whirlpool when the company was closing down Maytag plants in Iowa, Illinois, and Arkansas.

One of my many problems with Edwards is his class warfare and his low class (lack of) ethics. In my opinion, he shystered to get his money. He never fought for anyone, but mainly himself.

Agreed. He never made anything, he never developed anything, he never promoted any positive ideas into society. He was a slimy, ambulance chasing attorney who struck it rich and lives in a house that reeks of elitism.
Then he has the audacity to make speeches touting two Americas. egads.

There are two Americas: One for hypocrites like John Edwards and one for everybody else.

Exactly right, all of the above comments. There is nothing worse than a useless, pos hypocrite pointing the finger and lecturing others about what they should be doing, how they have fallen short of ideal, etc.
When the pos hypocrite himself has never done any of that. We see this with a whole host of them; Al EcoFraud Gore, to name one.
Edwards is so phony, so transparent, so slimy, so smarmy. Yeah, he looks real good for the cameras. I’ll take the unattractive honest person.

[...] He was already having a bad hair day! “One of the things people appreciate about (Obama) is he’s not a cheap-shot artistâ€Â Sure! [...]
