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...

Even Kennedy would spin in his grave over that.

I was raised a Democrat, and trust me, their Party is based on nothing but IRRATIONAL HATRED. Plus, violence. Union thug mentality. The weird thing about all this Democrat hatred is they eventually turn it on themselves. Look at Hilary and Obama. Perfect example. White Democrats SNEER AT AND LOATHE, and LAUGH AT blacks behind their backs. I have HEARD them make their racist cracks over the years, to say nothing of their slurs towards gays... and especially women, white women in particular. The ends justify the means, they say. Always ends in hatred and violence.

I was thinking the same, that people are willing to vote for him just because of his smooth speech delivery and nothing else.

And Joe Scarborough, give me a break, stop fawning over the guy for crying out loud.

So, Obama has Kerry, Dean, Gore, Leahy, Carolina Kennedy and probably Teddy Kennedy. What does this tell us?

It tells me that the MA-VT branch of the Democrat party sees a chance of grabbing power thru a puppet - Obama. Northeast Dems vs.the Southern Dems. (The Kerry-Kennedy axis still views the Clintoons as strictly from Arkansas...)

Obama's malleable, into whatever Kerry-Kennedy wants him to be.

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.

As I said... "IF" he survives the primary. He is currently being hit with everything but the kitchen sink. While he is being severely beaten up, IF he does come through it, he will be virtually immunized against anything our side might be able to hit him with.

He has immense popularity, and Hitlery has strong negatives- even in her own party. While there is an intense feud going on, if he can keep his head up, he stands a vary good chance of success.

If he does succeed, watch out, because he will turn out the whole Dem base and their moderates with bells on.

Dang, you are good! “not good enuf to shine JFK’s shoes”,,you oughta email that to bill to use in his next speech.

The clintons have to use yellow alot,,to paint Obama as “high yellow”,,half black and not trusted.

Maybe that is why Hill is wearingthat yellow jacket,,few women can wear yellow and it has puzzled me. Maybe it is a little surreptious highlight of Obamas half white status.

“Caroline has never benn know to be the brightest....”

Now she’s advertising it.

The typical WHITE, limousine LIBERAL voting for a BLACK man she’d never rub elbows with. Guess this makes her feel better about her hidden bigotry.

He’s gonna be very hard to beat.

Indeed, Hillary, we can beat, Obama, he will be VERY hard to beat. Not because of Obama, but what the media will/has created out of him.

I also think Obama should watch his back. People tend to wind up dead around the Clintons, especially if they are a threat to their power. Maybe he should ask Ron Brown about that... if he could.

I think Caroline is bright and bashing her is a big mistake for republicans. She is a sympathetic figure and it is petty and small to bash her or her Father.

I think it is notable that for all the Clintons attempting to butter up the Kennedys all these years that Caroline did this. It woulda been easier for her to stand down and say nothing like her Mother.

That tells me HIllary’s boat is leaking. Really leaking.

I don’t pay too much attention to Caroline but I didn’t know she was a Lesbian. It still makes me wonder about Neil Diamond writing Sweet Caroline about her.

Her Dad was not REALLY thrilled about the civil rights movement. He and his wretched brother Bobby had Martin Luther King wiretapped and blackmailed him with his love life. Is that ironic? KENNEDYS blackmailing ANYBODY with their LOVE LIFE?

....(Caroline Kennedy)...supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama...

Well, that does it for me.

I'm gonna go with Hussein, 'cause Caroline sez it's a good thang.

Where do I vote?

(Who really gives a rat's patootie who her and that fat broad, Orca, uh, Okra, no, uh, I mean Oprah, endorses?)

I wouldn't trust a female democrat to endorse a candidate for dog catcher.

Or a male one, for that matter.

What a pant load.

Look at the SC internals. White WOMEN did not vote for him. They split between Hillary and Edwards. What people tell a pollster, and how they vote, are two different things. They do not inform a pollster about their bigotry...

I thought she was married & living in NYC. Thats what made me wonder. Thank you for clearing it up. I thought she lived a quiet life compared to the rest of the Kennedy’s.

I last voted democratic for Jimmy Carter, But if McCain becomes nominee of the party I will vote Democrat because McCain has hurt the conservative movement more than any other Republican. Can you image what liberals ideas would become law if he became president? At least Hillary would have the Republicans in congress fighting her and not making McCain legislation go though which could kill the conservative movement for decades.
I’m a radical conservative but if McCain wins say goodbye to the Conservative movement for decades. Plus the politicians who back that phony would increase.

I will vote republican unless McCain wins But if that happens I hope Bama is the dem I Ihave to vote for.
