A President Like My Father...Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama
New York Times ^ | 01/27/2008 | Caroline Kennedy

Posted on 01/26/2008 6:44:42 PM PST by steadcom

OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama...

“So, Obama has Kerry, Dean, Gore, Leahy, Carolina Kennedy and probably Teddy Kennedy.”

That he’s the official establishment candidate, not the change candidate at all.

It tells me that the OLD WING of the Dem party now sees the Clinton infatuation as a thing of the past, and has found a neat little revisionist angle to promote an Obama candidacy.

That discussion of her sexual bent turned out to be a misunderstanding on my part. Please see # 313.

Ditto for your hope. I wish Alan Keyes were a better politician. He has the most perfect understanding of the constitution and the historical roots of American liberty that I have ever heard, along with a matchless ability to articulate those principles.

Unfortunately too many of the American people have been alienated from these truths by the educational establishment and the ascendency of modern day liberalism. The MSM have elevated some of Keyes personality quirks into some sort of mental disorder and they have helped considerably to marginalize him as a political figure, whatever his flaws as a candidate may have been.

He certainly isn’t as monumentally corrupt and sociopathic as the Clintons, but they manage to find excuses for them.

"“The torch has been passed” to a new generation...who will NOT “pay any price, bear ay burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty”. Ask “what your country can do for you”, not “what you can do for your country”. The message from Obama is the opposite of what JFK said - even though the delivery is as riveting. "

Could not be said any better than that.

The future of the USA looks a lot like socialism. The next generation is already steeped in the doctrine, it oozes from their pores.We were too busy working and paying off heavy mortgages and credit card debt to teach our children well

Change is enevitable, God will not be mocked

"It’s all gone so horribly wrong, hasn’t it? Dear God, yes it has. And I blame the American educational system for it. "

I agree....that, and the demolition of the family structure by slavery to debt, requiring so many mothers to work.

I was just thinking that the decline of the United States as a free republic can be marked by the decision of Roe v Wade

"Change '08"

looks like theres more change on the way. Oh how I hate moving day

You're a better person than I am.

It gives me a little frisson to think that these grifters just might have overplayed their hand.

One of the scary phrases that Obama keeps repeating is “I want to remake America”. Remake? What the heck does he mean....start from scratch? Creepy.

Tammy Bruce endorsed Obama tonight on her radio show.

Tammy Bruce is pretty cool but at the heart of it all she's still a female liberal--governed by feeelings.

Well, that endorsement will get some play, believe me. So, Obama has Kerry, Dean, Gore, Leahy, Carolina Kennedy and probably Teddy Kennedy. What does this tell us?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ummm.....errr.....ahhhhhh....

It tells us that they all think JFK was a tremendous president , ( Not True when you look at his achievements versus his failures, not to mention his perosnal life)

It also tells us that they want to lead the emotional pack of voters into scurrying to the polls to vote Obama without examining Obamas Backgroud?....Fad Voting.

Sorry, but comparing Obama to Hitler is ridiculous.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is how to stop Obama, by reading his backgroud, and realizing that his resemblance to former fascist leaders is actually quite true:

“flies on the wedding cake”

I would think the more apt phrase should have been "turds on the wedding cake" -- but if she didn't have enough respect for her own marriage to expect fidelity from her coarse, priapastic horndog of a "husband" then she is free to regard his behavior as mere "flies".....

Leftists always want to “remake” society and this should be one of the bright RED flags that ought to convince a large majority of Americans never to vote for socialists like Obama or Shrillary. Unfortunately, they are like so many of the Demagogues in trying to bring about more socialistic controls of the economy and society as a whole without actually admitting what they are up to.

This is a net loss for Obama outside of Insaneachusetts.

A candidate like her father? It was a bit before my time, but was JFK also all style and no substance.

So now Obama Bin Liberal has the endorsement of a former first brat, and her obese communist alcoholic murderer of an uncle.

Maybe Hitlery can get OJ Simpson to endorse her.

Given that there are rumors of a ‘closeness’ between the Clintons and the Bushes, I wonder why we didn’t hear more of this type rhetoric against #43 when he was running.

Can it be that the Clintons really are more hated than imaginable?
