Edwards Compares Bush to Enron's Lay

By LIZ SIDOTI, Associated Press Writer

OREGON CITY, Ore. - Democratic Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) compared President Bush (news - web sites) to former Enron Corp. chairman Kenneth Lay on Tuesday and predicted Bush "is going to be fired" by voters for the way he has run the country.

Lay, a Bush friend and campaign contributor, resigned under pressure after the giant energy company's collapse and has pleaded innocent to charges of fraud, conspiracy and false statements to banks.

The Democrats' vice presidential candidate assailed the potential cost of Bush policies in a second term and said of the president: "I think he believes that he's Ken Lay and America is his Enron. The truth of the matter is that what happens when a CEO runs a company the way that George Bush (news - web sites) has run America, they get fired.

"And that's exactly what's going to happen. George Bush is going to be fired by the American people."
