MORRISVILLE, N.C. -- President Bush questioned John Edwards' fitness to assume the presidency, lashing out at the North Carolinian on his home turf Wednesday only one day after he joined John Kerry's ticket.
Bush had cordially welcomed the freshman senator to the race hours after Kerry announced his running mate.
But when asked Wednesday how Edwards would stack up against Vice President Dick Cheney, he snapped: "Dick Cheney can be president. Next?"
Bush pivoted away from his questioner and toward the next one.
