CNN

Let's get honest here! AMAZING the lies that are being told! Ted Kennedy for one said no matter what you hear Obama has been against the war from the beginning...hmmnnn lets think a minute....Clinton has been in the senate since Jan of 2001...Obama has only been in the senate since Jan of 2005....gee all the hard decisions were made while Bush was making up stories...and Obama was no where in sight for those votes on the war. He wasn't even a US senator til January of 2005.....by them everyone voted against the war!.....

Obama gave a speech he was against the war in 2002...burt as far as votes which he made it seem he had voted that way since the beginning the beginning for Obama was Jan 2005..........when in fact he was still teething in the Illinois state senate......but cast NO U.S. senate votes against war in 2001- 2002 ,2003, or 2004

At least one of The Kennedys has gotten it right....

I'm disappointed and surprised that Kennedy endorsed a typical corporate elitist. Maybe he is still just a part of the ruling elite, after all.

I agree with him that large-scale hog producers are (were) a greater threat to the US of A than Bin Laden and his network (unless you count the Bush Administration and Verizon as part of his network).

Some of the comments I think are unfair and reflect badly on those who made the snide little comments.

If we truly live in a free society than every American should be able to endorse, support and vote for the person that they think will be the best President.

Some of you have nothing better to post than you don't like the sound of his voice or his accent. How sad that Bobby jr is being put down because not of his ideas but of the sound of his voice.

I am a Democrat, but I do not support Hilary at this point. I have my reasons. I don't like some of her votes that she has made as Senator. I don't vote for the lesser of two evils so most likely will write in the person who I think is the best one who I would like to see standing at the helm of this ship America. Actually I will be writing in Bobby's name.

Some posters on other boards have posted that Bobby has betrayed his beliefs and the people who support his work on the enviorment because of this endorsement. WRONG, Bobby hasn't betrayed anyone, but is endorsing the person who for reasons that are valid for him thinks is the best person to be President.

I will fight for Bobby's right and anyone's right to endorse, support, and vote for the person of their choice without harsh judgement from anyone and I would hope that Bobby would fight for my right to endorse, support and vote for the person of my choice for reasons that are just as valid to me as his support is for Clinton.

To those who think that it is only Republicans who are against Hilary think again. There are plenty of Democrats too. This is only a primary so we don't have to jump on the Hilary band wagan yet. I may never jump on if she can't prove to me that she is the best person for the job of President. So far she hasn't.

Bobby Kennedy suffers from spasmodic dysphonia, a disorder that makes speech difficult and causes the voice to sound quavery.... I can hardly stand to listen to him because of it. Ugghh.

wow i can see it now
hillary is gonna make a grrrreat prez- now excuse me while I enhale and can see even clearer

Did he endorse her after getting out of his private jet or the armored SUV limo? He and his family are as good at being enviromentalist as the CEO's of oil companies, Hollywood celebs, or Al Gore.

Ginny, Seattle, "A classy endorsement for a classy qualified candidate" it is a beautiful remark.
Tom, Aibuquerque, "Mrs. Clinton will continue to win the hearts and minds of American public" it is so true, I love it.
Surrealist, Fort Myers, your knowledge is impressive, I respect it.
Dan, TX, You don't know anybody can do the best job than Hillary? That's why you couldn't name it? I understand perfectly.

Dennis Kucinich is the kindest to the Earth and deserves the endorsement of all environmentalists.

January 3rd is right around the corner, I guess we'll really find out if this country is REALLY ready for changes and a candidate that could really give us what we need and want so desperately and not flip flop around the real issues. We (American) are very smart but we need to use our common sense in 2008 and not by endorsements.

As a great supporter of his father, Robert Kennedy, I am saddened that his son has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

I believe Barack Obama more clearly articulates Robert F. Kennedy's views. I can't find any similarities with Ms. Clinton.

We desperately need a change. . .from the Clinton's, the Bush's, and. . .perhaps from the Kennedy's.

We need a change!!

To: Megha, San Antonio, TX : Words of experience – its when you really get under their skin that they start directing comments directly to you. Been there. Good job! We are with you Ms. Megha! Doesn't matter what they say. What matters is that we know who the best is. So you who think Obama has a chance – keep ditching out – and we will do the same. Thank God we live in a country where we have the freedom to voice our opinions.

I admire you RFJ JR.
and all your Kennedy Family,for the 2 best ever men who ran Our Country that was best for us and what we could do for it.your Uncle and father i remember all those times..and to RFK JR for cleaning up that Hudson river of trash.thank you for endorsing the best person to beat the repubs..And that is Hillary R. Clinton..you know she is a fighter and ready to lead or you would not be endorsing her,for the Highest ever position President of the United States
these Kennedys know there Politics,who will do the job best and to run Our nation and to fix it over the last bad 7 years she has a real task to get done,and she will.

Good, who cares. Endorsements are meaniless without votes.

Wow a kenndy for hillary/
birds of a feather flock together

Vote Independant in 2008
Vote for the person and not the party
The partys have fail middle class America in horrible fashion.

enought already with the bush and clinton type leadership. Let's get one who know what middle class tax paying
American deserve! It REPRESENTATION!!
As in True Leadership for all on an equal basis. God Bless America

Idiot!

Just great for the 'ol U.S. of A. Another old line, corrupt family steeped in distasteful moral fibre attempting to stay in the spotlight by endorsing the newest line of the corrupt, highly distasteful families. Awesome.

"Megha
How do you stomach the fact that Hillary won't answer questions – isn't that important to you??"

Posted By Chris, Middletown, CT : November 29, 2007 1:42 pm "

Hillary answers enough questions and offers sufficient information to understand her plans. You don't know to read? You cannot judge for yourself? You need everything served on a plate?

What questions? that stupid attack on 'illegal immigrants' was not a question. The other stupid claim by Obama about 'enforcing a mandatory health plan' is a meaningless detail at this point, the only idea to understand is the one about universal health plan.

Sorry, but too many of you just play stupid.. I cannot imagine so many really are stupid.

Hey, the guy wants Clinton for president. Good for him and that's nice for Clinton.

This endorsement may help people who want to vote for Clinton feel good about their choice and may inspire them to do more for Clinton, but it isn't going to win her new votes on its own.

I'm going to vote for the person who I think can do the best job for our country. It's not Clinton. Sorry.

This was expected. Institutionalizing dynastic rule. The fortunate thing is that sober and reflective citizens of this great Republic will reject dynastic rule in America. If Hillary is nominated by the Democrats because she has been endorsed by the establishment, I will vote Republican!

This "never worked a day in his life" hypocrite should is just looking/hoping for a job in her supposed cabinet... Listening to him is difficult, it makes one wonder how people like he and George Bush even graduated from college, must be because of name only.

Actually Kennedy has a speech disorder known as spasmodic dysphonia. But it's great that you're able to make fun of disabled people who get out there and try to make a difference despite their disability, even knowing that cretins are going to make stupid assumptions about them on the basis of their handicap. I guess they can take comfort in knowing they'll accomplish something while the losers who criticize them will remain nobodies.

The "surrealist" posted:

"Jason. You are correct. What is not correct is that the most recent Patriot Accent voted on was tied to certain other very important budget initiatives which needed funding (remember the only tool left in Bush's tool box is the Veto). And while she did vote to allow the President authority to invade Iraq–the information that congress and the American people showed that Iraq was aggressively pursuing chemical weapons, trying to acquire "yellow cake" uranium from Africa–and had ties with Al Qaida in an attempt to use them against America. Get a grip. At least she took a stand to protect America–not sit on the fence like Obama and so many other Senators when it appeared our safety/security was a stake. She has the intestinal fortitude to make tough judgements–unlike ALL of her rivals."

1. Obama didn't sit on the fence who came out STRONGLY against the war in 2002

2. Are you telling me that a woman who is married to the former president of the United States who by law receives internal white house memos on a daily basis, a woman who supposedly was "the face of America and foreign policy for 8 years", a woman who is completely embedded in the Washington system with connections that are as far reaching as they are informative, was so easily fooled into supporting the war like the millions of America who, unlike Clinton, are forced to take what the government says at face value?

3. Whether or not Bush was filling the airwaves with Iraq/Al Qaeda connections doesn't mean that someone like Hillary Clinton couldn't see and KNOW that these terrorist came from Afghanistan?

Give me a break, seriously

The only thing Hillary Clinton is qualified to do, unfortunately, is lose the general election to a Republican. She's perhaps the only major Democratic candidate who could pull that off in 2008.

When will the Democrats learn that when they nominate unlikeable, charisma-challenged cold fish (Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry) they lose every time? Democrats need to stop nominating resumes and start nominating compelling candidates.

This "never worked a day in his life" hypocrite should is just looking/hoping for a job in her supposed cabinet.

Sorry loser, not going to happen.

Listening to him is difficult, it makes one wonder how people like he and George Bush even graduated from college, must be because of name only.

In these parts his family is known as "the wizard of ah's" for their utter lack of intellect and vocal abilities.

This does nothing to dispute that premise.

Okay the 90% of the people who are critisizing this endorsement are Republicans and the people who they have put into power are the reason this country is in its current shape.
The other 10% are Obama supporters and to Annon, OBAMA IS NO RFK!! R.F.K was the brother and attorney general for one of our nations greatest President J.F.K before he became a senator and was running for President.

JFK,JR. said that Clinton had the "strength and experience" to end the war in Iraq.

So Hillary also had the "strength and experience" to START the IRAQ War in the first place.

"strength and experience" and GOOD Judgement kept Obama from supporting starting the Iraq War from the begining. That flattens JRK. JR endorsement relovence.

What a shame. Something tells me his father would have endorsed Obama. He's the closest to his ideals.

A Kennedy endorsees a Democrat!
Stop the presses!

This endorsement will be meaningless. RFK Jr is one of the worst ideologues and liars on the entire left... and that's coming from a liberal. He hasn't earned any fame on his own yet; it's all in his name. Kind of like Paris Hilton. Also kind of like Hillary. No wonder he endorsed her!

AB-

you think I'm wrong by saying that RFK served the same amount of years in the Senate as Obama did when running for President?

Just open up a history book and it will prove I am correct.

Learn how to spell while you're at it.

I just wanna know if RFK, Jr. is gonna increase his damaging footprint on the environment by flying around in his jet campaigning for Hillary as he does campaigning for the hysterical global warming socialists?

I mean, like Hillary, he's already got the "dodge and weave" tactic of avoiding answering questions about his activities as opposed to his message.

Barack Obama is the most qualified candidate to be the commander in chief.. America is in need of a new direction, new blood and a new focus. This belief, is the foundation, and cornerstone of our country..
I believe, the American people do not want "DUAL" political styles in the white house ( William and Hilary Clinton administration). The main reason for the lack of support for Obama is his ethnicity. There is validity in the aforementioned statement, when one compares and contrast Barack Obama's credentials and relevant intelligence with our current president and presidential candidates.

The candidate that wins the presidency is a direct reflection of the ideals and representation of America.. America has not been well represented the last 7 years..

In this era of global economy we need: strength, integrity, vigor, neutrality, trailblazer, strong communicator on foreign and domestic policies.
Hilary Clinton, i respect and love, but she is not the answer.. Barack Obama is!! Make the right choice America!!

Hey Megha, San Antonio, TX

I'm sorry but we will not join you in supporting another lie, but thanks for the offer! Does anyone not care that the Clintons have already degraded the oval office once??? He recieved sexual favors in the oval office people and then lied about it...to our faces mind you!!! Hillary is still with Bill because birds of a feather flock together, she can't ask for qualities in a husband that she don't possess. You go on and vote for Hillary and the rest of the rational Americans will vote for Obama!

I'm still waiting for any of the Hillary supporters here to explain to me how Hillary got all this strength and experience. Please, please equate it. Please point out to me one piece of meaningful legislation that Hillary has AUTHORED and passed as a senator. Obama has nearly twice as much elected legislative experience as Hillary and has been more active and successful in half the time in the senate where he authored and passed ethics reform, for instance. The only reason we know that Hillary has taken many trips on Vinod Gupta's (InfoUSA poll owner) personal plane – and not all campaign-related – is because Obama's law forced her to reveal that interesting nugget. And to the poster who somehow gives credit to Hillary for failing to read the NIE reports that said the evidence is still out on Iraq and approving the rush to war should get his head examined. She's get points for being "decisive" instead of prudent and exercising sound judgment? It's obvious she was trying to look like a hawk in preparation for her run at the White House. Twenty-three members of the senate exercised good judgment and voted against the rush to war. They read the NIE report, they took the time to read and question the evidence (Joe Wilson's report that stated the yellow-cake story was false). Clinton now say she was misled. A person of presidential caliber does allow himself or herself to be misled like that. I'll take the guy who's shown sound judgment and courage over the trumped up "experienced" one any day.

Sad that RFK Jr. is endorsing the status quo. I would have thought that he would have really wanted change and gone for a more 'electable' less polarizing candidate. HC's campaign is beginning to show arrogance and swagger something we've had way to much of since 2000. The nation is tired of the cowboy mentality and bring'm on attitude. The smug demeanor of Hillary and Bill's seeming inability to take a backseat and just campaign for his wife rather than steal the spotlight will be exposed for what it it...same ole same ole. RFK Jr's father was the last best hope the country had...I think this endorsement will mean quite a bit less for Hillary than what it would and could have meant to Obama.

If Warren Buffet can support Barack Obama, then who am I to question such brillance?? The Kennedys are known more so for their freak accidents and the Clintons are well...just freaks! It's a good thing he endorsed her, because due to the damage her husband is doing to her campaign...she is going to need it!

Obama for president!

His voice sounds like that because his late father had an affair with Katherine Hepburn I can't even listen to his radio show because his voice annoys me. He sounds exactly like Hepburn in her later years. But these people have to start explaining the strength and experience Hillary has. No one has been able to do that for me yet.

Megha

How do you stomach the fact that Hillary won't answer questions – isn't that important to you??

How do you deal with the fact that she is mandating a universal healthcare plan that countries that have them send their people here for treatment?

How do you explain that Hillary is proposing putting in a socialist healthcare system – when the real issue is the fact that lawyers sue insurance companies, hospitals and doctors on a daily basis...and thats why healthcare is so expensive?

It doesn't bother you that she wanted illegal aliens to be "licensed because then they would obtain insurance" – huh??

I get it...you don't like Bush....but that shouldn't force you to ignore the obvious...Hillary always wanted to be president....why stay with a guy who was with so many different women during their marriage....?? I baffles me that anyone would support this mess.

This one endorsement forces me to question everything I thought I knew about Robert Jr., his expose on the 2004 election constructing one pillar of my respect for this man. His work on the environment, another.

Practically the whole country knows who the real Hillary is by now. What is it that Mr. Kennedy knows that we don't?

If he's going to drop such a bombshell, he should be much more thorough and considerate toward his reasoning. There is no denying that she presents herself as Bush-lite.

Thank you Robert F Kennedy for supporting Hillary Clinton. Nobody except Hillary Clinton can clean current mess and move this country forward.
I hope Obama and Edward will be ditched enough so they can't divide democrat party in the future.

Eward is rich layer who never work for public good and Barack Hussein Obama's foreign experience scares me. Especially Obama is planted candidate to destroy America and American values. He has energies haters instead sending message of HOPE AND CHANGE.
4ONLYHILLARY!

Listening to Robert's political advice is like asking Patrick for driving lessons..

This is a very important endorsement for Senator Hillary Clinton from an American family that truely cares about Americans. The Kennedy family who has been in public service for the good of people in this great nation.
JFK would have done the same no doubt and will be proud of this.

That's great. I will always have major respect for Robert, Sr. and have followed Robert Jr.'s career for a long time. He's intelligent, forward thinking and would do well to get back into the game himself.

Sounds like I hear some sour grapes (as usual) from Obama supporters. Why don't you all go read your Oprah book club books and leave the running of the country to the next President....Hillary.

Who cares who the son of Robert Kennedy endorses?

But if the endorsements of children of deceased politicians are important, then why didn't Barry Goldwater Jr's endorsement of Ron Paul make the ticker?
Care to answer that Clinton News Network?

"When Robert F. Kennedy ran a winning campaign in 1968, he had only served in the Senate since being elected in 1964.

That's exactly the same amount of Senatorial experience that Hillaryland claims is not enough for Barack Obama.'

You are wrong on this. Obama doesn't have experince or record. He doesn't demontrate any leadership. He is a wind searching. You should re-read his voting records, the time he vote, the time he didn't vote, and the reason. Th Iraq war and Iran position. Please, he is not what people think he is. America, please do not vote because he is charming, do not vote because he makes sound speech. See what we got , Bush. Don't you agree we need more than that ? We are talking about America.

I wonder if he will be on the ticker if he did not endorse Clinton.....

Crying baby girl touts another endorsement from another politician.

Whenever she's losing from Real Americans, she touts an endorsement from another politician.

Who cares? She's un-electable and a drag to the party. Retire! old suit!

To Obama supporters,
I am a Hillary supporter and I like Obama but he just needs to wait 8 years and I will vote for him then. For now Hillary is the one and the only one. Please wake up. Join forces so we can get a democrat in the White House.
HILLARY 08

To Andy in IN you are not a true American the Kennedys are the best and im glad Robert is saporting Hillary!

Excellent that Robert Kennedy Jr would endorse Hillary. Think about it. Both of them are from New York.

Kennedy has one of the most respected radio shows on (Ring of Fire on Air America radio).

Those who are negative about this, can only be Republicans. How sad for you.

Great endorsement!!!!!!

It beats any celebrity endorsement any day of the week!!!

Now, if only his uncle Teddy would follow suit.......

People (Obama's dreamers) still don't get it. The truth hurts. But everyone knows Obama just isn't the guy. Say all the spiteful things you wanta say – doesn't matter. Thank you Mr. Kennedy for endorsing the right candidate.

All of his quote sound like the same garbage one-liners the hill-camp spits out. I wonder if his quotes were planted too.

This would have had some significance forty years ago. Now, after putting up with all the spoiled remnants all these years, its' just another "who cares".

Jason in Seattle said: "Thats Great!!! Didn't Hillary Clinton vote for the patriot act and the Iraq War?"

Jason. You are correct. What is not correct is that the most recent Patriot Accent voted on was tied to certain other very important budget initiatives which needed funding (remember the only tool left in Bush's tool box is the Veto). And while she did vote to allow the President authority to invade Iraq–the information that congress and the American people showed that Iraq was aggressively pursuing chemical weapons, trying to acquire "yellow cake" uranium from Africa–and had ties with Al Qaida in an attempt to use them against America. Get a grip. At least she took a stand to protect America–not sit on the fence like Obama and so many other Senators when it appeared our safety/security was a stake. She has the intestinal fortitude to make tough judgements–unlike ALL of her rivals.

Yes, but will she have the "Strength and experience " to say Congress already wastes billions on special interest projects, so we shouldn't raise taxes, just re-direct those billions.

This is indeed an important endorsement and should bode well for Senator Clinton. Robert Kennedy is right in his analysis of Clinton's ability to win over doubtful voters and to win against the conventional wisdom of naysayers. Mrs Clinton will continue to win the hearts and minds of the American public .

Finally! A classy endorsemant for a classy, qualified candidate.

Thats Great!!! Didn't Hillary Clinton vote for the patriot act and the Iraq War?

One more clown joins the smoke-and-mirrors carnival. The Kennedy's are a living example of how the dynamics of one generation often do not flow to their offspring, and that even amongst siblings, one's plate is often intellectually empty while the next full.

What happened to "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" – Hillary is running on the Saul Alinsky Marxist movement of "ask what the country can do for you" – what a sad state of affairs where there would be anyone who backs this Marxist..

If any family has known pain it is the Kennedy family. They had two of the best people to speak for this country murdered and for what.
Most of the family has dedicated their lives to helping the underprivileged and those without a voice.
I admire all the Kennedy's and wish them well.

Hillary will make an amazing president, endorsements or not.

When Robert F. Kennedy ran a winning campaign in 1968, he had only served in the Senate since being elected in 1964.

That's exactly the same amount of Senatorial experience that Hillaryland claims is not enough for Barack Obama.

Sadly...no one listened about the questionable ethics issues in Ohio. The truth is in the pudding though–does anyone think a Republican will take Ohio in the next Presidential election? Not any of the contenders currently on stage–and especially not Guliani. Thanks RFK.

Does anyone know why his voice sounds like that?

So you have Obama stating that he wonders what Madeline Albright thinks about Hillary's statement that she was a face of US foreign policy in the 1990s and Albright supports that view. Now you have RFK Jr. endorsing Hillary and he sure would not have done so if he had though Obama or Edwards had the legacy of his father who they quote on the trail. I just hope they keep naming names so that Hillary can keep picking up support and endorsements from the people they name.

One sleazy family endorsing another. Where's the news?
