John Edwards Scandal


As you are all aware of the scandal of John Edwards. He was caught having an affair while running for president. The worse part of the scandal is that he cheated on his wife while she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. A disease his wife, Elizabeth is not determined to recover from.

It has made me angry that he did this because this shows to me a lack of respect for his wife. Where was the presidential hopeful when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer? As it has now surfaced, he was running for a position in the highest place in the country while cheating on his wife.

I felt sadden for his wife Elizabeth, who is I am sure, humiliated over this scandal. I am not sure why did not wait until she had passed away to start a new relationship, which would have been perfectly acceptable. But to be cheating on Elizabeth, while she was alive, has no regard for her or for her condition. If he cannot be a devoted husband during a family crisis, how can he run our country? I think it is best to say his political career is just about over.

I hope so. I would encourage you all to pray for Elizabeth, who has to battle this dreaded disease and how has to live with the heartbreak of this scandal.
