Robert Kennedy Jr. Says Family Members Are Wrong in Supporting Obama
May 01, 2008 6:41 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Introducing Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., in Jeffersonville, IN, Robert Kennedy Jr. had some pretty harsh words for his family members who are backing Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for president.
"There are some members of my family who've decided to do the wrong thing, support Senator Obama," he said of the Democratic presidential fight.
Kennedy continued, "Part of our family is divided and our Party is divided and the reason we are divided is because we have two extraordinary candidates both running for president both who will make unbelievable presidents of this country."
Continuing his argument, Kennedy said, "but let me tell you why theyre wrong and Im right, because I know Hillary Clinton better than they know Barack Obama," said Kennedy to a loud applause.
Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy adopted Obama as a "Son of Camelot" back in January.
Kennedy went on to speak about the attacks that Sen. Clinton received while in office saying, "she came in after enduring one of the most savage beatings of a public figure during my lifetime with people like Ken Star going spending 40 million dollars going after her relentlessly with billionaires like Richard Mellon Scaife and his whole right wing machine that sent out hundreds of millions of letters to American citizens going after her relentlessly."

Gee, killing an innocent girl, raping another, drowning another, these don’t cause any divisions in the Kennedy family. But backing Obama, that’s unforgivable.
If Hillary were really the smartest woman in the world, she would tell this moron, no thanks for his support. She would get more votes than what she’d lose by turning her back on an endorsement by the whining flake.
Oh, man! This is getting good!!
Not only are the Dems divided over Obama/Clinton, so are the Kennedys.
Happy times in Hyannis this summer... /s
Oh that is so gross. The whole "Camelot" thing has been revealed to be a made up fraud. I can't believe people still use it as a metaphor.
RFK Jr.'s use of the words "extraordinary" and "unbelievable" is richly ironic, IMHO...
