4. I wish that Obama were as strong on economic issues as John Edwards.

Obama is a nice guy to his wife and children, a nice guy in general, but oh my, his economic policy is not nice to a lot of women and children (and men) in our country.

Remember John Edwards' main theme: Two Americas.

It wasn't until OWS that Obama really dared to talk about the Two Americas. And even now, Obama doesn't seem to really seem that concerned about the issue of wealth disparity -- not like Edwards was.
