GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (website - bio) on Friday blamed President Bush (website - news - bio) for failing American workers and said the president was trying to hide a dismal record on job creation.
"The truth is not enough jobs are being created to even take care of the new people going into the work force, much less the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their jobs over the last several years," Edwards said at the beginning of a two-day bus tour of Wisconsin.
"The one thing you can count on, this administration - President Bush and Vice President Cheney - they are going to try every way they know to put lipstick on this pig," Edwards said. "But you know, when you put lipstick on a pig, at the end of the day it's still a pig, isn't it?"
