Asked if He's the Right Man for the Job, John Edwards replies, "Fo Shizzle!"

Deep South, U.S.A. -- The SatireSite has been following former senator and presidential hopeful, John Edwards, as he has swung through South Carolina and to a lesser extent, Georgia. This reporter has witnessed him campaigning in waffle shops, fried chicken joints, and predominently black churches. The common theme: John Edwards is black.

Obama, beware. There is another on the trail. And this one has the hair you only wish you had.

Standing before a packed congregation at the Greenville, S.C. New Light A.M.E. Church, John Edwards delivered his stump speech. To a chorus of "Amens" and "Uhmhums," he touted his leadership in healthcare reform. "We're gonna make it more assessible for the workin' po. If you ain't in the workin' po, don't worry - you gettin' it fo free. I have a black friend in my hometown. And he says, 'Brother John, we need you in Warshington, 'cause I'm havin' to work for my insurance."

Once the clapping died down, former senator and presidential hopeful, John Edwards, opened up the floor for questions. Not a few had questions. Asked if he could bring home the troops, Edwards said, "It's my goal to have 'em home by September 22nd, 2009." Editor's Note: SatireSite was perplexed why such a seemingly arbitrary date was mentioned. Later research found that that was the date Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

Asked if he could stimulate the economy, he answered, "I believe that the economy is only going to get better once we raise the taxes on the middle class, but yes, I believe I can."

Finally, one church member shouted out, "Are you the right man for the job?" Knowing that "no" was the wrong answer to give, he shouted in reply, "Fo shizzle."

Obama watch out.
