Which America do you live in, John Edwards?
Advertisements [?]
First off, let it be known I still really like John Edwards and I hope that he, along with Barak Obama, goes far in this election process.

However, I think it's hypocritical for him to run around this country talking about the "Two Americas" when he goes and gets a $400 haircut on the donor's dollar. Even if he spent his own money, $400 for a haircut is ridiculous and just a symbol of vanity and greed in my book. The uber-powerful have a sense of entitlement a mile wide and John Edwards apparently is no stranger to this state of mind.

I for one, won't donate to John Edwards now or in the general. Apparently, he doesn't need my money because he can afford to throw it away. That's not to say I don't wish him well and I hope he can redeem himself. However, this is a symbol in my eyes of the two-faces of a politician who likes to make political hay over the "Two Americas" but when it comes to his hair we know which America he likes.
