Obama Derangement Syndrome
What is up with Elizabeth Edwards? Has she gone mad? I think so…and I think she should keep on doing what’s she is doing because it will ruin her husbands chances of getting elected. Hmm…MAYBE that is WHY she’s doing these things???
NEW YORK — Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic candidate John Edwards, lambastes his rival Barack Obama as “holier than thou” on the Iraq war and accuses Hillary Rodham Clinton of failing to show leadership on health care and Iraq.
As her husband trails Clinton and Obama in national polls, Elizabeth Edwards has been an outspoken critic of his opponents. Last month, she said her husband would be a better champion for women as president than Clinton and more recently said, “We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars.”
In an interview published in the August issue of The Progressive magazine, Elizabeth Edwards complained about Obama, who opposed the war when he was a state legislator in Illinois and later as a Senate candidate but has since voted for funds for the military.
She’s attacking Obama, Hillary, and everyone else.
“And honestly, the other candidates?” Elizabeth Edwards asked. “Obama gives a speech that’s likely to be extraordinarily popular in his home district, and then comes to the Senate and votes for funding … So you are going to get people behaving in a holier-than-thou way. But John stood up when he was in the Senate for exactly the thing he’s asking these people to stand up for now.”
OOh, she’s a swinging that bat, hard!
On health care, Edwards said Obama’s plan for universal coverage was inadequate because it left 15 million uninsured. Obama has said his plan would become universal over time, after his proposed reforms reduce the cost of insurance enough so people can afford to buy it.
She also criticized Clinton for not producing a health care plan and for questioning whether there was sufficient “political will” to enact universal care.
Uh…so what is John Boy’s Plan?? I don’t recall it being any better or really any different than anyone else’s…
Edwards even suggested Obama’s signature theme — a plea for hope and political unity — had been lifted from her husband’s 2004 presidential campaign.
“You listen to the language of what people say, particularly Obama, who seems to be using a lot of John’s 2004 language,” Edwards said, noting that Obama’s media adviser, David Axelrod, worked for Edwards that year.
Do we get the sense of some Obama Derangement Syndrome happening here? I think so. Like I said it’s all good. Let the Lemoncrats implode upon one another. They offer nothing new or different or fresh. It’s the same OLD SAME old. So progressive they are. (More like passive- aggressive perhaps?)

I find a lot of what Elizabeth Edwards said foolish if not offensive but I’d just like to note that it’s fairly common for people dealing with life-threatening illnesses that have severe chemical/biological effects on their body to experience extraordinary changes in personality that often make no sense to the people around them.
