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. What does this tell us?

that flying could be dangerous in the northeast?

Kennedy DID have brains, and could street fight. Obama has NO brains...plus a Socailist stump speech. JFK was NO Socialist, in fact hated Communsits and the like. JFK would roll in his grave to see what the Democrat Party has become.

Doesn't matter. Symbolism over substance, remember? If he survives the Clintons during the primary, he will be nearly untouchable. Certainly so considering what the Pubbies have to offer. He will be able to play equal to, or to the right of our candidate in nearly every aspect.

He is far more dangerous than Hillary IMHO.

Just goes to show (again) that the Kennedys hate the Clintons. That is the real split in the RAT party.

Nope, Dems will NEVERa nominate a black man. Dems USE blacks, but they would never let them off their Plantation.

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them.

Not inspired after eight years of the Clintons?

Obama will NOT survive the Dem Primary. White Dems won’t have it, period. The Clintons control the Party machinery, and they have torn up the Party over race. It will only get worse. Get your popcorn out.

Sorry, but comparing Obama to Hitler is ridiculous.

He’s an empty suit, a pumped-up pin-up candidate. Have you ever seen him speak unscripted, like at the first campaign rally with Oprah? He was a bumbling, awkward fool.

But I do agree with you that the way he presented himself tonight was scary, but scary in the sense that people will buy that he is a legitimate leader of the free world.

“He’s gonna be very hard to beat.”

Also very hard to live up to that. Quayle got clobbered by just comparing his time in office to that of JFK. Maybe Billary will make some comments about Obama not being good enough to shine JFK’s shoes.

So maybe the democrat opposition to Hillary has figured out they need people whose FBI files managed to stay out of Clinton’s hands.
