Will the Obama campaign retract their lying misquote of Edwards?

[jackson_dem]

It was two months ago but we can "hope" someone running a "positive" campaign of "hope and change we can believe in" would have the class to retract it. In 2002 Edwards mentioned the legal obligation corporations have to maximize profits for their shareholders. In the next breath he called for closing tax loopholes that those corporations were taking advantage of, in part because of their legal obligation. His position then was the same as his position today. Obama knows this. Obama, a constitutional scholar (one of his experiences to be president right?), knows corporations are required to maximize the interests of shareholders. His campaign still misquote Edwards to make Edwards sound pro-corporate when Edwards had the courage to stand in front of a bunch of corporate leaders and advocate higher taxes for them. Will Obama have the class, like Edwards did today, to retract his lying misquote?
