Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards unleashed a blistering attack Tuesday on President Bush, saying he lacks compassion for ordinary citizens and is too arrogant to seek international help in war-torn Iraq.

During a town-hall meeting at the USC School of Law, the Seneca native also said Bush's economic policies built around tax cuts are bankrupting the country.

"I thought when President Bush's father was president, things couldn't get much worse; this fellow is making his father look pretty good," Edwards, 50, told a standing-room-only crowd of 200, mostly law school students, jammed into a lecture room.

South Carolina's first-in-the-South presidential primary is scheduled for Feb. 3. Democratic hopefuls have been visiting the state on a weekly basis.

2. That's my Senator!

Way to go Edwards! Keep it up and do not abandon a Senate run while your campaigning for Prez. You'll know soon enough to which office you stand the best chance of getting elected.

3. I love that he's keeping it up.

When he's on he's on.
