It give me great pleasure to see Sen. Kennedy in alliance with Sen. Obama.
I do agree that Sen. Obama has some of the same characteristics as President Kennedy had. Such as the belief that it is time for change. President Kennedy had a battle to fight, the same as what is ahead for Sen. Obama. He over came and so will Sen. Obama. Good Luck

Just to point out: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Robert Kennedy Jr are both for Hillary Clinton. Both are Bobby Kennedy's children. So it is not just "Kennedys for Obama".

Obama will be in Utah Saturday, more to follow.

GO OBAMA 08

Kennedy's for OBAMA 08 .. GO BARRACK 08 !!

I truly believe Obama is the best Democratic Candidate who can unite our Nation and be a leader to all. Have you heard him speak? Truly inspirational. Here's hoping the Utah Democrats support him.

Joe again

May the best man win.

qwerty

"I truly believe Obama is the best Democratic Candidate who can unite our Nation and be a leader to all."

Such a choice the Dems give us -- An loud-mouth, angry woman, an ambulance chasing lawyer, and an erstwhile black Muslim. God help us!

"Have you heard him speak? Truly inspirational."

He has the marks of a true politician, a lot of words but says little or nothing.

So Utah resident

I was in absolute awe today to see the speeches of these four people. I am a fan of Romney- But I will guaruntee that if Mccain wins the nomination I am voting for Obama- What a great orator-and when he speaks he truly means it-
As I watched on MSNBC today Chris Matthews made a comment- "If anyone wants to know what politics was like in the early 60's-you just saw it." I was not born yet- however I have been a huge fan of JFK since I was very young. Obama is amazing. You have officially arrived in Camelot Mr Obama, keep it up and many like myself will cross those party lines!

To qwerty

You are wrong, wrong wrong. This is one independent who will be supporting Obama. The Republicans will just continue the garbage the current administration has been dealing out for so long. I think a Democrat will be elected this year and we can all start feeling good about being an American again-because we will no longer have someone telling us how to be "American" again.

QWERTY...
You obviously do not know how to love, hope or listen!
The latter is evidence , your lack of knowledge on Barack Obama points to this observation.
Open your ears...hate monger....read a book...
This is how we learn! Mouthing off with nothing to back your words... clearly a person who is illiterate or so disgusted with themselves they can't see anyone elses spirit shine.

Qwerty- you said "an erstwhile black Muslin" - WHAT DOES COLOR HAVE TO DO WITH IT? when are racists going to start judging people for character.
Also, Obama is not Muslim- it's an Urban Legend - perpetuated by stupid idiots that believe the likes of the radio hate mongers. My choice is for change I wouldn't support anyone that continues to want to drive this country, economy, reputation- into the grave, the current administration has taken us back to far that we will be paying a steep price while GWB and Cheney are lounging in Dubai from all the money they stole because of this illegal war. OPEN YOUR EYES.

I was just 18 when JFK died and 20 when brother Robert was killed. The family gave as much to this country and more than others. They made mistakes and haven't we all. Obama is a truly an inspiring who has prepared well for this position. He is the first preident since JFK who makes me think our country can dig ourself out of the muck the last 20 years have pulled us in.

Republican

I'm a republican and I plan to cross party lines and vote for Obama. He's truly an inspirational uniter.

I feel burned by the Washington Republican and what they have done and not done the last 8 years.

I'd never ever vote for Hillary, or Edwards though. So I hope they don't get the nomination.

You said it Jackie

re: Joe again

If we shouldn't be racist, then let's not be sexist either. Let the best "candidate" win.

Lost in the Ozone

Dear Anonymous, JFK died in 1963, RFK in 1968. That is a five year interval. How come only two years elapsed in your "growth years?"

Obama has "prepared well for this position"? Where, the same parallel universe you inhabited for 3 years during the Sixties?

I would never have voted for Hillary but Ted's endorsement of Obama has me questioning that decision.

Just read in the S F Chronicle that Obama wants to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. Interesting.

Obama's the man. The US has not had anything like this in the last 30-40 years. Clintons are just tired old slush and burn politics people.

qwerty

"Just read in the S F Chronicle that Obama wants to give drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. Interesting."

That's just a start. Next we will see the country flooded with immigrants from B. Hussein Obama's home country of Kenya.

Didn't Kennedy call Obama "Osama" once?
