Comments on: Obama to Receive Kennedy Endorsements

[buddhabman]

OK Kennedy Haters, the show is over you can crawl back in your holes.

The Obama campaign is predicated on the peoples involvement, energy, optimism, hope and hard work towards a better future. Caroline, Patrick and Ted Kennedy see this. They see the energy Barack Obama is bringing, not only to the Democratic party but to our whole political process. This candidacy is good for our country and good for our democracy.

Although it''s Nice to know Obama has the endorsements of the elder kennedy''s, and Caroline confirmed that... It would be wise for Obama to stay forcused on the campaign and keep some comfortable distance in between.

Chappaquiddick meet Rezko - as if they aren''t most likely good friends already. In your dreams boys if you think people won''t see through this one. So much for Bambi not aligning himself with status quo politicians. He just lost the votes of moderate Democrats, Independents, and coverted Republicans. This is the best news Hillary could have asked for.

Unfortunately, he was not able to get the endorsement that he really wanted--Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the kind of leader that Obama really wants to be like. Here are his own words about why people voted for Reagan.


"I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn''t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing."

The excesses and growth of the government were what the Democrats did. It was the Great Society, The Environmental Movement, Medicare, Civil Rights, Progressive taxation, Government Regulation of the economy and Gay Rights. Calling them excesses is Republican language. Most Democrats didn''t think they went far enough. And the "clarity" was against the honest soul searching that Americans had after Vietnam and Watergate of our place in the world.

Why don''''t you want to associate with the Kennedys?

Got to be kidding, Ted originated judicial manipulation (just as Cheney), he killed his secretary and got clean away with murder.

A double whammy to Queen Hitlery after her embarassing lanslide blowout loss in SC. Now that Teddy and Caroline are off the fence, other Dems might endorse the only candidate who has a chance of winning and derail the Queen''s machine.

THE DEVIL IS SEDUCING EVEN THE ELECT:

Dear America,

Clinton will be your next president. John Edwards will be your vice president. Obama has the devil in him. Stay away from this man!


You did the world a great service by bringing down that corrupt and vile Richard M. Nixon. I was really hoping you would also bring down the one who is 1,000 x 1,000 times worse than Richard M. Nixon. My fervant prayer was also that South Carolina would not give their vote to the DEVIL. Follow Christ not and you will go the entire seven years of hell on earth. I pray you follow, and get in step. We are in for much trouble and much pain. Say goodbye to Barock Obama and welcome Clinton and Edwards into your White House. Never give up the ghost, which is holy. Many of you have already been judged, and are beyond redemption. If this is the case you will know it. If not, get in step behind Christ. We will have an army of over half a billion on the sands of Arabia within a year. First it starts with a "war of words". Speak the truth about these "anti-Christ%u2019s", the Muslims. The time is not to quit lying. I pray for all of your souls, and hope you do not face the torments of hell on earth and eternal hell.

God Bless, Troy Sigler

Obama is starting to look more and more like that w*h*o*r*e McCain. First Oprah and now the Kennedys. I can''t imagine what any of this group has in common, or why Obama would want to associate with them.

Dear missybuff, isn''t your comment a double standard? "Women hate to see another woman succeed. Shame on us, shame on Caroline Kennedy. Shame on Oprah." - If I were to say that all Blacks who voted for Hillary hated their own brother, you would have called me a racist and acuse me of pulling "the race card". You confuse me!!! As a new US citizen, the best thing I love about this country is the FREEDOM to vote for whomever I want. As a woman myself, I choose OBAMA in my educated opinion, he will do a better job than any one running in this campaign; his awesome Presidential qualities prevents me from choosing a second best. He has intelligence, diplomacy, academic education, experience and multicultural background very critical atributes for a President. As for the Clintons, hmmm lying under oath, whitewater scandal, womanizing, blaming Reps (right wing conspiracy), voting for a war where many loved ones have been killed... how irresponsible! I am all for CHANGE and OBAMA is the catalyst we need.

"I respect Caroline and Teddy''s decision, but I have made a different choice," said Kennedy Townsend.
"While I admire Sen. Obama greatly, I have known Hillary Clinton for over 25 years and have seen firsthand how she gets results. As a woman, leader and person of deep convictions, I believe Hillary Clinton would make the best possible choice for president."
She added that her brother Bobby and sister Kerry were also backing Clinton.
Kennedy Townsend is the oldest child of Robert F. Kennedy.
