"There is one man who knows and understands that this is a time for bold leadership. There is one man that knows how to create the change, the lasting change, that you have to build from the ground up. ..There is one man who knows in his heart there is time to create one America, not two ... and that man is Barack Obama."-former Presidential candidate John Edwards.

Edwards endorsed Senator Barack Obama at a campaign event in Grand Rapids, Michigan, also taking time to praise Senator Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
