http://www.mydd.com/story/2007/11/9/194126/773From Holden Caulfied at MyDD: It seems that Obama and I do agree on something. Today O'Barry said that John Edwards has totally reinvented himself to win support from tthe left just in to order further his own personnal ambition.
Obama's sharp attack on him in the Washington Post today by Richard Greene.
"John wasn't this raging populist four years ago when he ran" for the previous Democratic nomination, Obama said. "He certainly wasn't when he ran for the U.S. Senate. He was in the U.S. Senate for six years, and as far as I can tell wasn't taking on the lobbyists and special interests. It's a matter of, do you walk the walk that you talk?"
"If John wants to make the comparison between the work I did as a community organizer -- or as a civil rights attorney or as a state senator taking on special interests -- to him working as a trial lawyer making millions of dollars, I'm happy to have that discussion."
