WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) won the endorsement Wednesday of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who said the White House hopeful "personifies the future of Democratic leadership in our country."
Daschle said Obama has a "great capacity to unify our country and inspire a new generation of young Americans, just as I was inspired by the Kennedys and Martin Luther King when I was young."
Obama began his term in the Senate after Daschle lost his seat in 2004. But the South Dakotan served in the Senate with several of the other Democratic presidential hopefuls, including Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Joe Biden of Delaware, Chris Dodd of Connecticut and John Edwards, a former lawmaker.
Daschle said the party was "very fortunate to have an extraordinary field of candidates."
That's a looooong time in Presidential politics.
LOL. That was my first thought as well.
"Gee, how come they never use Baracks full name, Barack Hussien Obama?"
Probably the same reason they didn't say "Thomas Andrew Daschle" - middle names aren't generally used. The guy's a socialist- we've got plenty of ammo to use against the guy without harping on the name his dad gave him at birth. Besides, Hillary is going to be the nominee.
I'm sure he has someone else start his car.

Kiss of death, baby, kiss of death!! She probably paid him to endorse Barack.
OH, very good! And I don't even like monkeys.
What a ration of crap Dasshole is putting out. He got inspiration from MLK. South Dakota Has a ratio of 0.6% blacks and 11% of those are in jail.
I doubt Dashole even saw a black until he ran for the Senate.
Daschle? Huh? Why in the world would anybody care what he has to say about anything? Why is he newsworthy? I thought he was dead. Isn't he?
the beast drops out in 8 months??? after bill has a heart attack???? well maybe.
Ex-Senate leader Daschle knows what time it is.....

"Interesting tho that the Dems are deserting Hitlery left and right. And it's also interesting that an empty suit like Obama Banana Bama (or whatever) is their Messiah."
1970s all over again ... The Democrat playbook in Iraq is the same as their playbook in Vietnam. Oil is up and bell bottoms are in ... the last time the Democrats went for a 'new' and 'fresh' nobody with a thin resume, our country was saddled with Jimmy Carter.
Obamarama is just another Jimmah.
......Daschle will be deeply saddened.....
It took 32 posts to get the saddened phrase.
this time though "Hillary was deeply saddened"
I read through before posting and was surprised not to see it. I wish I could have provided the picture to go along with it.
