I think he was just saying that the tooth fairy and Santa Claus are more believable than the idea that Hillary will actually bring about change in this country. Pretty strong criticism actually.

I’m not surprised he hasn’t endorsed. He isn’t very keen on Clinton and he seems to be letting Elizabeth have her time in the limelight after she supported him for his times, so he may not want to publicly go against her fairly clear preference.

It works for me. He may just be a man who has decided what’s most important in his life right now and presidential politics ain’t it.

John Edwards was my favorite candidate even if he does believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus…which, by the way, was a massively stupid thing to say even though he was just trying to say something clever and worked it out wrong.

Seriously, he believes in the tooth fairy?

John Edwards - during the Democratic debates:

“I think that voters have to ask themselves is: do you believe that the candidate who’s raised the most money from Washington lobbyists, Democrat or Republican, the candidate who’s raised the most money from the health industry, drug companies, health insurance companies, the candidate who’s raised the most money from the defence industry, Republican or Democrat - and the answer to all of those questions is: that’s Senator Clinton. Will she be the person who brings about the change in this country? You know, I believe in Santa Claus. I believe in the tooth fairy. But I don’t think that’s going to happen. I really don’t.”

That’s pretty much the whole controversy in a nutshell.
Shoot, I wish Elizabeth could have run!

Interesting article. However, I question whether Obama’s “desire for change” is positive until he answers a key question - change to what? Because Bush has changed this country drastically over the last 7+ years, and I don’t know a single person who’d say that change has been good.
