Appearing on "Good Morning America," John Edwards defends Obama on the recent allegation that Obama will change his policy on Iraq.

Edwards emphasizes the fact that Obama has always opposed the war, "will end the war" and "has not changed his policy."

"McCain has said, 'We could be in Iraq for more than 100 years.' This is a very clear choice for voters...If you want the war to be ended....Barack Obama is your guy," Edwards stated.

Edwards also addressed the McCain Advisor Gramm controversy.

2. WTF! Who is this asshole reporter? Fox Frame Fox Frame Alert!
Ferkrystsake! Who is this asshole?

I had to listen to the 1st question twice to make sure I heard it right. Obama has secret special knowledge about Iraq the generals don't that would guide his hand even if the generals advise to not pull out at all? Wow, I haven't heard a version of "shut-up-about-the-war-'cause-your-betters-know-better" argument since the 60's.

And then this asshole implies that Obama want to pull out of Iraq "fast fast fast". I couldn't take it anymore as started writing this post.

And, Edwards didn't even flinch but stayed focused like a laser.

The corporate media is promoting this idea that Obama has changed his policy on Iraq. Of course, the story was generated by the McCain camp.

Fact is, Obama has NOT changed his policy. Hasn't happend but the msm is calling him a flip flopper on something that has.not.happened.

Ridiculous.

4. A question...
Look at John Edwards and the way he acts, what he says, how he looks....

Who would you rather sit down and have a beer with (that seems to be so very important) Edwards, or Bush? I mean after the beer, what would you rather talk about? Issues, like an adult, or baseball and switch grass like drunk frat boy?

9. "This is his guy."
He managed to say it at least twice in one way or another. Beautiful. My pick for VP, but I think I've said that like a 100 times.
