Yeah, that there Fearless Leader, he's a glass half full kind of guy (incoming pretzel! the bike slipped in the mud!)

President Bush on Friday called Democrat John Edwards a pessimist on the economy and suggested his experience as a trial lawyer would tilt him toward policies that would hurt small businesses.

At a raucous rally in York, Pennsylvania, the president launched his most aggressive broadside against Edwards since John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, named the North Carolina senator as his running mate on Tuesday.

Bush told the crowd of more than 10,000 that the U.S. economy was "moving into high gear" but he said Kerry and Edwards were ignoring the good news while insisting that "the sky is falling."

He alluded to Edwards' sunny demeanor as he criticized his and Kerry's emphasis on difficulties facing workers such as rising health-care costs and the outsourcing of jobs overseas.

"Whether the message is delivered with a frown or a smile, it's the same old pessimism," Bush said.

Lame. Oh-so-lame.

BTW, see http://www.livejournal.com/users/jiveturky/185733.html for a great up-close-and-personal anecdote. I just now read it, myself.

Yeah well good. Let him keep bitching about Edwards and let Kerry slip under the wire. ;)
