Barrack Obama's presidential campaign has picked up a very much desired endorsement of Sen. Edward Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy (Former Pres. Kennedy's daughter) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (Sen. Edward's son).
Sen. Kennedy referred to Obama as "a new national leader who has given America a different kind of campaign--a campaign not just about himself, but about all of us." He spoke in Washington about the similarities between the works of his assasinated brothers John and Robert and the campaign promises of Obama. The senator remained on the sideline for months claiming he was friends with all three democratic candidates but then went on to say at the rally:
"Every time I've been asked over the past year who I would support in the Democratic primary, my answer has always been the same: I'll support the candidate who inspires me, who inspires all of us, who can lift our vision and summon our hopes and renew our belief that our country's best days are still to come," Kennedy said. "I've found that candidate. And I think you have, too."
Caroline Kennedy said that Obama "offers the same sense of hope and inspiration" as did her father. Rep. Kennedy offered his support also.
Black author Toni Morrison, who once labeled Bill Clinton as the "first black president" has now offered her endorsement of the Obama campaign.. Morrision said that she always has admired Hillary Clinton for her vast knowledge and mastery of politics but stated that Obama's "creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom."
oooooooh TAKE THAT HILLARY....and Bill!
