Edwards: When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a cowboy or superman
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- John Edwards said it was "silly" that Hillary Clinton brought up a kindergarten essay from Barack Obama saying he wanted to be president as a way of countering his claim that he hasn't been running for president his whole life.
"I have to confess on my own that I wanted to be either a cowboy or superman," Edwards told an audience of AARP members. "I think some of this stuff is silly and no one cares about it."
A Clinton spokesman later admitted it was a mistake to make an issue out of the essay.
