CNN

Your father is no longer with us. Your mother was a pillar of strength.

Carolyn How shameful to compare your Father to Obama.

i want to be live to coming back to the blog when the almight BARRACK OBAMA get ate up alive what you think you dont have now you realy want have nothingwith him i cannot believe you poeple that you thinking he can change the world please people this man is not the one iknow some of you believe in the bible an i sure you know GOD had what we need why can you not see he is a joke just because the hate for the clintonseen like to me you want to take your dying child to the carwash an not the doc people this ilive every one is not going to like everyone we need a president not a speach writer

To Breeze: You are right about JFK, Jr. walking into the White House if he were alive. And guess what? He would have taken Barack Obama right along with him.
Hummmmm! That sounds good, maybe Caroline will be the first female VP? Better than the Hillary choice.

It all about a woman in power and Barack is no JKF.

Sherry, I know how you feel about wanting a female as President. I would love to see a female President. But we women should not vote for Hilary just because she's a woman. Yes, she has some experience and she is capable. But it's what she's capable of that I fear. Hilary rubs people the wrong way. She uses underhanded tactics to get her way. She's power hungry. And she's a fake. If she was elected as a democrate, she would not win and if she did win–heaven help us all. I don't think she would be as bad as Bush, but after eight years of Bush–we as a country need someone that is totally different than the old status quo. We need someone that works well with others and yet will fight for us average citizens. We need someone who can inspire us. Hilary doesn't have it to do that. If anything, she'd be too busy telling us why this and that can't be done. We need another JFKennedy and I think Caroline Kennedy is correct–Obama is the most likely canidate to fill that role. Obama offers us hope and change. Hilary offers only more of the same.

I applaud you Caroline and Ted for making the right choice. It's time for change in this country. Time for us to work collectively together because as one we achieve great things, but as individuals we achieve little.

Barack I applaud you for such a positive and uplifting campaign. Keep up the great work.

To the negative posters maybe Hillary is NOT the right WOMEN candidate. Time after time she has had an opportunity to shine, but all she is able to do is WHINE.

She lacks political experience and seems to DEPEND way too heavily on her husband in the campaign. We all know she rode his coattails to get into Senate and now wants to claim years of political experience. Several of you so-called democrats seem to think she is guarenteed to win the election. All I have to say is look at this campaign against Barack, and now imagine what the Republicans will do to her. Hillary is not like by half of White women and more White men. And, now African Americans carry negative feelings towards the Clintons as well. This spells LOSING a CAMPAIGN big time.

Also, If she is truely a strong and independent leader have you husband fade into the woodwork and run the campaign on your own shoulders. That is what a STRONG women/candidate is capable of doing.

And, for one poster about how women have to work harder the same applies to minorities. But, the funny thing is: You never hear Barack crying about lost opportunities. He is only working to sieze the moment. That is a true leader.

I think it's a bit premature for these high-profile endorsements. What is the purpose? Is it to inject influence on the American people's decision making? Isn't it enough that we have the bias of the media trying to tell us how to vote? All these endorsers have egg on their faces when the dirty laundry starts to fly! Let the games begin!

I don't believe the endorsements of the Kennedy Family will help any Candidate at this time. Ted Kennedy brings a lot of baggage and is of the old extreme left, Most modern Democrats , including JFK, and most Americans are far more to the center. We have to give credit to what Bill Clinton accomplished. His behavour during this campaign has been questionable. but his policies were moderate, which is why he was elected and re-elected. That is where America is not Left or Right.

Bob

I couldn't agree anymore with Caroline Kennedy - it's been so long that we've had a candidate to be so inspiring....one who seems to be so real, a good an honest person.

Why are people falling for Obama? He is just talk and no action. All he is saying is how to unite America and we need to have hope. How is uniting America going to help us? Obama never talks about his experience because he doesn't have any. Are Americans that gullible? Have you noticed that he never says the word “experience”? He is just a preacher and nothing more. America needs to see that Hillary has the experience needed to run this nation.

I was initially very enthused when Barack Obama announced his candidacy. The "present" votes were logically explained. However, please explain his lack of backbone when he failed to take a senate vote, which added Iran's revolutionary guard on the list of terrorist organizations. Thus, giving Bush more power to go to war with Iran. His excuse was that he was "on the campaign trail". Dodd, Biden and Clinton took time away from their campaigns to vote on this very important issue. I, like so many others, did not agree with Clinton's vote but at least she had the backbone to vote.

Caroline Kennedy's endorsement of Obama is frankly AWESOME. It may be proof, and it gives me hope, that The Hillary & Bill show is coming to an end. Their business as usual is depressing, and drags down my hope for a powerful, and energetic America. I don't trust the Clintons, and I think they are mean spirited. Listening to Bill the last couple of weeks, makes me wonder if he is trying to sabotage Hillary, but I don't care. It's karma. I Live in California, voted for Bush in the last two elections, a woman, and my family is Republican. Since yesterday I have started to hope again that America will unite, and turn on to what makes us all special, and propel us to be, and act our best. Obama has giving us this promise, it's his gift.

There is no way to unite Americans we spend most of our time thinking about our differences and judging from the strong feelings of some of the post above we have a long way to go.

OMABA 08!!!!!!!!!

Am i the only one who has been reading that Republicas will NOT vote for Hillary, but they will vote for Obama. People wake up, if we do nto want another Bush-like term, PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!

NOW Hillary fights for the rights of the voters of Florida, one day later after getting her hind parts walloped in S.C. on Saturday.

Why didn't she speak up for them last year when the rules were being set? 2007?? More BIllary Tactics LOL

Obama 08

Wow...Is Caroline for real ? The Kennedys have been a part of the political machinery for generations. They are not agents of change. Senator Obama is glad about this endorsement?

I don't know what she is thinking, but Senator Obama is no JFK.

To be honest, Obama's speech writer is the one who will unite this country and will carry "HOPE" and "GOOD change" to us, but not Obama.
The speech writer should run and it is the one who deserves what Obama is getting now.
I will pick Oprah over Obama.

Billary = divisiveness and giving our country over to Global Leadership.

Obama = Positive direction for the country.

Caroline's Obama endorsement does not affect my pro-Hillary vote at all.

Her mother, Jackie Kennedy, who likely would have stayed above the fray, would likely support Hillary. There are many recorded instances of her being impressed by Hillary. I just wish that Hillary would be more evident on the campaign trail. She's the one who's going to fix the country and leave it a better place and in the hands of Obama in '16.

Congressman Clyburn is NOT neutral. There is nothing wrong for Congressman Clyburn to perform his civic duty by voting for Senator Obama a the polling place. However, Congressman Clyburn is disingenuous for manipulating the press (particularly Joe Scarborough) to wrongly accuse the Clintons of playing the race card.

I witness Congressman Clyburn used Joe Scarborough of the Morning Joe shown on the S.C. election day. On this particular show Congressman Clyburn implied that the Clintons' "fairy tale" and "MLK/Johnson" comments are "RACIALLY MOTIVATED code words. Joe Scarborough stupidly bought Congressman Clyburn race-bait's trick.

Sherry – well said! I agree with you 100%.

I know JFK well, having listened to his debates with Nixon, his biography by Arthur Schlesinger, seen the TV coverage of his handling the Cuban missile crisis,etc. Obama is vastly inferior to JFK. It is foolhardy to compare Obama with JFK.

Younger Americans that are capable of accessing information quickly are more informed that older Americans that only get their news from TV and the local newspaper.

What voters are not asking themselves is why are the old Democratic Party Guard coming out to endorse Obama over Hillary? Are they racists or sexists for not endorsing Hillary? I think not. I believe they see an opportunity for the Democratic Party to move ahead to the next generation.

FIRED UP! READY TO GO! YES WE CAN! FIRED UP! READY TO GO! YES WE CAN!

Obama in 08!

How stupid. The privalege few. Her grandfather made his money bootlegging booze. Her uncle Ted the alcoholic who killed that girl while driving over the bridge. Even her dad, may God rest his soul, was a womanizer. Happy birthday Mr. President...............Everybody thinks Bill Clinton was this horrible womanizer. The Kennedy's are clueless. Ted you couldn't win the Democratic nomination when you ran. All that baggage. Now you side with John Kerry a guy who couldn't beat a guy named George Bush. How pathetic. Give em hell Hillary.

Want to know why Obama "sounds like" JFK in his speeches?? Maybe because JFK's speech writer writes all of Obama's speeches.... there's still a huge difference, however... JFK had substance.

What Caroline and her uncle does mean nothing to me. I have a mind and will make a decision for myself. I don't need a Kennedy or anyone else telling me what and who to vote for. Her endorsement means nothing to this independent thinker!

Who cares what Caroline thinks? That's her opinion. She was too young to remember her father's presidency. Bobby's kids support Hillary. I support Hillary. She is the best candidate.

We run our households. When we have a problem we turn to each other. The words we are using are the words of men. We’re repeating their words. Why is Hillary so reviled? We as women are the fabric that holds this country together. Men just take the credit. Men in general have deserted us, our children and our parents. We raised those men. We’ve coddled those men. We have stood behind them. It’s time to equal the playing field. Hillary has put up with all of their ribald jokes, attacks on her credibility, and their boiler room approach to the issues that this country faces. I see all the men who have worked in the senate coming out against Hillary and I have to ask myself why? I see men who have ran for president and lost, are against her and I have to ask myself why? I see great women of our time that have always been supported by women coming out against Hillary and I ask why? I see Democrats who have never declared for one candidate or the other, but waited until the primary was done and supported whatever man won, against Hillary. We as women are afraid to even say these things and I ask myself why. Men have no respect for us and some women have bought into their agenda. Of course this is a very sexist thing to say. They have thrown so much male sexism our way they have us living by it and considering it the gospel. Never before in the history of a presidential race has the way someone looked had so much more import, than the way that person thinks. I am tired of hearing about how Hillary’s Campaign keeps attacking those poor men. I am tired of hearing that former president Clinton will be serving four terms if Hillary wins. How dare anyone dismiss her right to have a chance because he was the president? I am tired of the mere suggestion that because he dares to give her what she gave him (loyalty) he is tainting his legacy as a president. She has put forth real solutions to the economy, the war in Iraq, healthcare etc. She knows the nuances of her solutions and she gives details. This race is no longer about the issues our country faces because the men have no comprehensive answer to Hillary’s real solutions, her intellect and her ability to stay on point, in the face of such adversity scares the hell out of men and some women. We have got to elect a woman for president. Why not now? If men do not think this woman is qualified then they think no women will ever be. She has all the goods. She is well known throughout the world. She will take a lot of power to Washington because we will be standing proudly behind her. No I do not agree with everything she says. I have voted for men that I did not agree with on all the issues but I guess that’s ok. She has to be twice as good as all the other candidates and she is.

She is the one who can afford the "HOPE"
Most people in this country cannot afford that.
Its not because leadership doen't inspire young generation, but beasuse they have to deal with their REAL LIFE.
We cannot have that "HOPE" unless we have the brand name like "KENNEDY".
Then, we can have the "HOPE" because we don't worry about everyday problems such as money, job, healthcare, debt and so..... Because we are KENNEDY. Nothing is wrong in this world.

Most of the commentators on this board was a child when JFK was in office and endorse their candidate by voicing their opinion. Caroline is an adult and can endorse anyone she chooses to. How offensive to say "what does she know", she knows more about JFK than anyone.

Do not blame her.
She just wants to her dad back so badly.
Oh, poor Caroline. I am so sorry for you.
But do not make such a mess. You are old enough to grow up.

Hillary will divide the party

Go Hillary!

GOP will win 08

It is hard for me to believe that endorsements from the Kennedy family would include JFK. After all we all knew his faith and were able to make a choice based on that. Does any one know what faith Obama is or if any. I see him holding hands in many black churches but have not seen him in any white Christian church yet. I'm concerned that we are just like sheep following aimlessly down a path because everyone esle is going down it. I for one would like to know our President has some faith based background even if it is not my own. I voted for Kennedy because I felt he would lead the country based on the faith priciples of our for fathers. I would like for the talking heads to ask not where he attends church as we can all attend any church, but where is he a member of a church and for how long. Before I give away our faith based constitution to an unknow I will vote for Hillary. As the old saying goes " a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush......I say vote for Hillary

Wow, because I care what a family of drunks think about who I should vote for.

I can't even be negative, but that change speech "changed" if you haven't noticed. Change will take time, and mistakes will be made.

I dont' think America can afford any mistakes right now.

When the Clinton's deliberately tried to throw a ranch into Mr Obama's campaign, because he was getting rock star like crowds, It just automatic turn me off of there campaign.It seems as though she Mrs Clinton then ask her husband to interject on her behave to do what it take to slow him down,and take him off message.So i am am voting for Mr Obama. Rock on.

If Caroline thinks Obama is like her father, does that mean Obama will bring women into the white house to sleep with while his wife is out of town, too?

Didn't the secret service bring an untold number of women into the White House for Mr. Kennedy? Oh, back then it was accepted....if Mr. Clinton fools around it's disgusting...

By all accounts, most men (over 70%) cheat on their wives....doesn't make it right, just makes it reality....will the Republicans get Obama under oath, too? Then ask him who he's slept with?

Whatever Caroline's reason for supporting Obama are, there is not a comparision between JFK and Obama. If Obama's vision is the future why is he using old folks ( JK, TK, JJ, CK) from the past to help him gain his future vision. Are all of their pasts squeaky clean-NOT!

Yes we can...what? He never tells us.

The Sainted JFK was the first president who sent American troops to Viet Nam. Remember that fiasco? That's right, folks – he was the one who got us involved in Viet Nam. So who cares if his rich daughter who lives like a princess on her estate in Bridgehampton endorses Obama. And Ted Kennedy – well, scandals abound with him. I still say, the NY Times endorsement is the better one – and they endorsed Hillary. How come CNN rolls over that one?

AL GORE for PRESIDENT. Oh, how we wish you were the party's nominee Big Al. All this Kennedy nonsense is beyond belief. Spare us Big Al and enter the race.

January 27, 2008 8:38 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Read— Kathleen Kennedy Townsends' endorsement of Hillary. Her sister Kerry and brother JFK jr also endorsed Hillary. Obama can have Teddy, he'd be smart to say thanks but no thanks. Thank goodness he, "Teddy", did not endorse Hillary
Note the post time. Whats up with that? Not pro-Obama

hahaha... what a suprise... Obama is fighting the establishment with the support of the longest running DINASTY in US politics.....

talk about change!!!!!

I remember JFK more like Bush – starting a war that a few hundred thousand young people were killed and maimed, that we couldn't get out of, that we sent our soldiers home to slum hospitals, and have left them addicts and homeless on the streets.

Oh Yes, Jackie dressed beautifully! Believe me – I know Camelot and that was not Camelot!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING. MORE LEADERS LIKE CAROLINE AND TED NEED TO STEP UP.

MERCI CAROLINE!!!

Think you South Carolina!!

And the HATERS will still have something to say.

HATERS JUST HATE!! they will try to make it a white-black thing. IOWA,NH,NEVADA and now South Carolina.....South CArolina people...25% of the white population voted for B.O...we are talking of South Carolina...If that´s not a wake up call for somebody,then i don´t know how to help you....this is just the proof that things,mindsets,people are changing in America.

Think U Obama for bringing the United back into U.S.A

IF U SEE A GOOD FIGHT ,GET IN IT

OBAMA is The President that America and the world neeeds right now.

VOTE FOR HIM

I thought democrats were against cencorship ,, please complain to the moderater

Kevin in OK, I think you are on crack. Stop smoking that stuff, its bad for you and your heath. It has obviously messed up your head. Hillary Clinton is dishonest. I think you are a racist in the closet...you just fear that a non-white president will hurt you. Shame on you for being such a narrow minded prick. I hope you havfe some years left in your life, so you can grow up and become a man of optimism.

Who cares what the Kennedys think? 1960 is over!

I also hope that Hillary Clinton will, like most Americans, simply overlook this insignificant mishap!

I BACK BARACK IN 08!!!!!!!

If Barack gets the nom. and wins better stock up the bomb shelter to think the old gentil republican guard of the old south will take this laying down. With the slavery restution issue looming over there heads. As a life long democrat but also a georgian, I know all he will do is divide if he does not come out and say no slavery resatution lawsuits while he is president.

YES , YES,YES WE CAN !

GOD BLESS YOUR HEART

OBAMA 2008

When the Clinton camp is getting so panicky and attacking like crazy, I know that Obama has already won ! dancewu(dot)net

Caroline Kennedy should be ashamed of herself. Comparing Barack Obama to JFK is so wrong. Barack Obama is all hot air. He knows how to talk the talk, but, he can't walk the walk.

People, you need to wake up, and realize that Obama is false. He is fooling so many people. It's the biggest case of pulling the wool over the eyes of America that I have ever seen.

Do not vote for Barack Obama. America will be very sorry if they do. He promises things he can't possibly deliver, because he doesn't have a plan.

Vote for someone who knows how to get things done. Who has been doing it, and working for America, and actually making a difference. Vote for Hillary Clinton. Go to HillaryClinton.com. Read up on her. Do your research, and you'll realize who the candidate of REAL change is.

I urge all of America not to give into the deception that is Barack Obama. This election is too important, and we can't hand it to someone who only make America worse.

Go Hillary....the real fighter.....Mr cotton candy speaks great, well not in debates. Then he whines when he is asked tough questions on his voting record or his remaks. Gee if he is elected, will we have to hire a nanny?

I just dont understand how anyone can compare Obama to JFK, no where near it.
JFK was senator for 6 years and was in the congress for 6 years.

Hey, True_Blue: The jobs which are shipped to India are the Cisco jobs which the dumb people in US cannot perform!

Shame on you Caroline. Bill Clinton helped you and your family so much during your only brother's plane crash. Have you forgotten it along with your deceased brother.

Disappointed in the endorsement, do not believe that Mr. Obama is another JFK.

Hillary Clinton 2008

The view in this part of the Country is ; ANYONE BUT HILLARY CLINTON.

But we love Obama !

Obama is only 14 years younger than Clinton, He's 47 and she's 61. That's not that much of an age difference under the circumstances!

Mr. Obama is no JFK!

Totally disappointed in Caroline Kennedy and Ted Kennedy.

Hillary Clinton 08

I'm disappointed to hear she said that about her father. I think much more highly of him. I lost respect for Caroline today. And as for Ted, I don't think that will do Obama a lot of good, any more than Kerry. The fact that they support Obama, in the end, may help Hillary.

Obama needs more experiences. After 8 years he may be ready.

Hey, they are not posting my Pro-Hillary comments either!

Obama is nothing more than a preacher. All he is doing is manipulating people and they are falling for it. Does he ever talk about the issues? It seems to me that all he is saying is how we need to come together and that we need change. You really can't change the government Barack. He has not convinced me that he is qualified to be president. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HIS EXPERIENCE!!! It is simple; he is not ready to be president.

Thank you Caroline.

I hope your endorsement is complimented by your willingness to serve our nation if asked by a President Obama.

I'm observing & listening.....I'm seeing and hearing intelligence, wisdom, truth, substance, and leadership with integrity in Obama. Caroline Kennedy's words of endorsement carry major affirmation for me! Thank you!

Ed,

What color is that person to whom you are married? My guess is that you are a Republican or, even worse, a BILLARY supporter.

Only you and your conscience know for sure.

GO OBAMA 2008.

Just for the record, I am a white woman.

Thank you very much, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg. I have always admired Caroline and her late brother, John.

God Bless You. You are some kind of lady.

This endorsement means nothing. I wish people would stop comparing Obama to Kennedy. Obama is not ready to be president. He needs another 8 years in the Senate. Go Hillary!!!

I'm A Republican for Hillary
Go Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Hillary wins get more for lies, scandals, and failures !!!!!

I have a great idea: Chelsea can run for the House of Representatives this year, In 2012, she can run for her mother's senate seat in NY. By 2016 when Hillary would be leaving the White House, Chelsea would be 36, making her old enough to run for President and replace her mother. Once she could leave office in 2026, I am sure there would be some of Bush's nephews or nieces to run for the office for another 8 years. For all we know the dynastic role of the Clinton vs. Bush could continue longer than the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

We are not England – and we do not need dynasties!

Obama 08

Why does everyone think Hillary is so qualified ? If you do your research you'll find out she's not that smart or capable. Check her record. There is a reason why the Kennedys are endorsing Obama. They probably know more about the Clintons than any of us. Hillary is full of scandal !!! Do we want this mess in the white house? Why doesn't she release her sealed records??? If people don't question this then I think thats dumb !!!!

I can't imagine what you are thinking about, Caroline!

Your father is probably turning flip-flops right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama can't compare to the great JFK I guess you were pretty young and never got to really know him. I am sure he was a great father to you.

to Zavia from fl, you bet obama will bring out the republicans , However they will not vote for Obama. he is the best choice the GOP wanted to return to the white house , congress and plenty of future wars. Naturally there won't be many repubs fighting but there will be plenty of military jobs for the less fortunate and disadvantaged. This man does not have the experience to lead this country at this dangerous time.

Caroline Kennedy has got a point. Barack Obama, a focused and articulate young Senator has a vision not only for America but for lovers of America and American values, all over the world. God help Obama; God bless America.

You could tell who is on God's side by the Venom that comes out of the Billary bloggers, God bless Obama.

I love the tone and optimistic approach of Obama supporters they are forward looking and not backward looking folks.

CAROLINE HAVE PEOPLE TOLD YOU ?
WHY THEY ELIMINATED YOUR FATHER?
WHY AMERICANS HAVE DON'T CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY?
WHY NO BODY REMENBERS ANYMORE THE 22 OF NOVEMBER!
ASK OBAMA HOW MANY TIMES PAID
RESPECT TO THE GRAVE OF YOUR FATHER!

I'M SORRY
I MEANT

WHITE SNOW HOUSE...
THE HOUSE OF THE POOR LITLE GIRL?
CAROLINE KENNEDY ...IN THE SCORPIO ISLAND.. ...
THE DESSITIONS OF SAME WOMEN MAKE AMERICANS VERY CRAZY..

IM SORRY
I MEANT

WHITE SNOW HOUSE...
THE HOUSE OF THE POOR LITLE GIRL?
CAROLINE KENNEDY ...IN THE SCORPIO ISLAND.. ...

here goes the next people in the "snow white house"?
BARACK OBAMA PRESIDENT
CAROLINE KENNEDY VICE-PRESIDENT
TED KENNEDY SECRETARY OF HEALTH
WHO IS NEXT...

I'm so glad Caroline is endorsing Obama. Bill Clinton was wrong about South Carolina and if he truely believes his remark, I think he's got a huge surprise waiting after super Tuesday. There are a lot of us whites–here in the south–that will be voting for Obama and we'll be voting for him for the reasons Caroline mentioned. I've read statements in this forum that say Hilary is smart and strong. Hilary is smart, but not near as smart as Obama. And please don't confused the williness to play dirty, decieve, manupulate and what ever it takes to gain power as being strong. People who are so corrupted and so willing to corrupt are not strong–they are weak. It takes a strong person to live by ones convictions.

Read- Kathleen Kennedy Townsends' endorsement of Hillary. Her sister Kerry and brother JFK jr also endorsed Hillary. Obama can have Teddy, he'd be smart to say thanks but no thanks. Thank goodness he, "Teddy", did not endorse Hillary.

I am deeply sorry that Caroline and Ted Kennedy have endorsed an unexperinced man to become the CEO of a megabusiness which has failed for the last 8 years.

That shows that they not thinking clearly other than being emotional!

Hilary's time was in 1992, its now time for baby boomers to retire,
The Obama generation will take care of all of you.

"We need men who can dream of things that never were."

John F. Kennedy, speech in Dublin, Ireland, June 28, 1963

OBAMA 08

For those of you that continually say "He doesn't have a plan...!" Do your research. Obama's economic plan for America has been called the "gold standard" by macro-economists and received the highest rating of all plans submitted by both the Democratic and Republican candidate in the Washington Post (1/23/08). In addition, he has more experience in legislation than the other two candidates. Re: his "present" votes - looking closely, this represents less than half of ONE PERCENT (.005%) of ALL his votes cast; and in the Illinois Legislature, it's not uncommon to vote "present", which he did in collaboration with all other Democrats in the legislature on more than 50 of those votes. .....And this is off the top of my head. Do your research.

With all due respect, what has Caroline Kennedy ever done, aside from being born into a rich and powerful family, that should make anyone care who she endorses.

To understand the heart and mind of If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

John F. Kennedy

If you are STILL unclear about Obama's stance on the issues, please visit barackobama.com and educate yourself. Afterwards, you can sign up to volunteer and educate others about his experience being a public servant and other issues that matter to you.

barackobama.com

Anyone read the article called "Hillary's Experience Lie", its worth the read.

Anyone read the article "Obama's Varied Record", it;s worth the read.

Bravo Caroline for a very eloquent endorsement. Beautifully written.

Shame on those of you who somehow think you know the mind of her father. You don't. More than likely, he would commend her for sticking up for her opinion, whether he agreed with her or not. You can only speak for yourselves.

For the first time in many, many years the candidate for the democratic party might very well be decided at the convention... living in Indiana, it would be nice to think my vote just might count for once.

I will not vote for the same old divisiveness... Obama (or McCain) '08

I have made a number of Pro Obama statements, but CNN refuses to allow them through. I can only imagine how many Pro Obama supporters are being censored on the [C]linton [N]ews [N]etwork. By the way, Cisco is a major advertiser for these blogs, and a major contributor to Hillary Clinton. And they are part of a huge network that outsources jobs to India.

You do the math. Actually, you won't get a chance to do the math, because CNN won't allow too many pro Obama comments through. CNN is the new FOC NEWS! Shame on CNN.

Carolyn Kennedy is talking from the heart, not from head:

I love democrats, elites and commoners, for their great knowledge and humanity.

But a commoner always remember what JFK had to do with Daley in Chicago to win a 50-50 election.

What LBJ had to do to get the civil right bill through the congress.

What Clinton had to do to win 2 election and FDR had to do to win 3 elections, fight like hell

Great human like Gore, Kerry, Mondale, Dukakis never won. A saint like Jimmy Carter got knocked off by a hollywood actor

JFK being a war hero and a man of action in congress for 14 years, had to take the help of Richard Daley to win the election.

Obama is devoid of courage, and accomplishment. He is no JFK.

Obama did not even had the backbone to vote again the Iran resolution, he was absent. He is no JFK, no MLK, no Bobby. he is just a great speech write and gifted speech delivery person.

Carolyn also talks about ethics without providing examples. She seemed to forget about JFK and Monoe & hundred other girl friend in white house, while taking a dig at Bill.

Also, Kenney legacy vs. Clinton legacy is at stake. Kenneys have won one election, and Clintons have already won two.

But again, I think she is talking from the heart.

SHE IS A NUT CASE!
ENOUGH SAID!!!

we don't give a dame what caroline is endorsing, another privilleged kid from Kennedy family. Go Hilary!!!

Remember, that the people are the voters and whom ever gets the nomination the people express that person can lead this country. People have the right to endorse whom ever they wish to. and vote for whom ever they feel can lead this country. and when all is said and done that person will lead the country.

WE don't give a dame to what Caroline K is endorsing. Read some of these comments, I do worry for this country. Change desn't always equals good change, this country is on decline and just can not take another chance leading a unkown change. Obama's speech is just empty . CNN is pack of crooks.
Go Hilary!

Carol,

How can Hillary deliver if half the country will not support her? Its an awful lot like G.W. Bush now. So many people don't like that he cannot get anything through Congress (thankfully). Put HRC on the ballot and Dems up and down the ticket will suffer and the Party will be significantly weakened when campaigning stops and governing is supposed to start.

Obama draws so well across independents and across party lines. That ability to draw a consensus is a direct result of his speaking ability... an ability Hillary will never have.

Benazir Bhutto, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher...these were women of strength, character, integrity and leaders in their own right. I don't recall one of them dragging their spouses around with them because they all had the ability to stand firm on their own two feet...their own convictions.

Hillary Clinton cannot hold a torch to any of these women!!! She doesn't possess the wherewithal to lead and she's extremely divisive and I'm beginning to suspect a closet racist....not needed in today's society!!!

Just the fact that one person could bring together a crowd of thousands from all ethnic backgrounds and have them break into a chant of "race doesn't matter" is so powerful and inspiring. It truly makes me want to be a better person. I'm sorry but I've never felt so good about a candidate in all of my 47 years. Yes we can –change America and make the world a better place for our children.

Some of us are old enough to remember Uncle Ted leaving a young woman to die at the bottom of a creek.

Some of us are old enough to remember Daddy JFK getting us into a worthless war with a few hundred thousand young good people dead and maimed.

Some of us are able to tell the difference between Clinton's campaign and the Kennedy legacy.

Janice,, your a smart lady ..Too bad the rest of the women ( who vote for Hillary )
are not as smart.

Carl ( Canada )

Who cares what a rich, privileged person that has never had a job except for working for the "Kennedy Foundation."

Isn't her father similar to George W Bush – got us into a worthless war with a few hundred thousand good young people dead and maimed?

Crawl back into the submerged auto with uncle ted.

well guess what, ethel kennedy supports obama! what you got

lol

I think there are a few hundred Kennedys to go around–haha-prime breeding ground in that Irish family. Endorsements are not worth a penny-but for the huge MEDIA BASED COMMUNITY, IT IS THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER, SMUT AND LIES. When it all boils down to the nitty gritty, it is who you think can run this huge country and turn out the results. You don't have to like them, you don't have to feel the power of faith enter your body when they speek-YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT THAT YOUR COMMANDER AND CHIEF IS WATCHING AMERICA'S BACK, YOUR BACK, YOUR CHILDREN'S BACK, AND WILL LET YOU FEEL THAT THEIR WORDS AND ACTIONS WILL INPOWER AND DRIVE YOU TO BE SOMETHING BETTER THAT YOU ARE TODAY–IT DOES TAKE A VILLAGE, YOU KNOW........................................

Have been following your stuff here in the UK, and Ed from Illinois is right, Obama can't hold a candle to JFK. To me as a teenager In the still glum aftermath of WW2 in the UK, JFK's scintillating oratory with its promise of change was ELECTRIFYING. But wasn't he too the product of a machine dedicated to winning at all costs? Yes Obama has a good speaking style, but he needs to do more, surely, than borrow some apt quotes? Not having a vote in this election, I wouldn't dream of telling Americans how to cast, but for a nation dedicated to keeping religion out of public life by their Constitution, it seems odd that you've all gone overboard for someone who seems to be re-hashing a lot of quasi-emotional sermons from a minority religious group? And when the mud starts flying from the Republican direction once Obama is installed, I'd want someone with a bit more practice at standing up to tough stuff. Several times I've seen Obama on the newsclips looking quite petulant when the debate's not going his way. Check out some of that old footage of JFK and Tricky Dicky and you'll see what I mean. At least Hillary knows how to hold her head up in a tight corner?

"pink slipper" We have a saying in Canada for the narrow minded " He can't see the forest for the trees" Look around the trees.
Most of the people in South Carolina were smart enough to see dirty politics
at work by the Clintons. Good on them.
Go Obama
Also, how about this " Obama will get Osama "

Regards,
Carl (Canada)

I don't understand people who say Obama doesn't talk about his plans. I just saw him speaking at a rally giving a very detailed account of his plans for social security. I've heard him talk about his healthcare plan. I've heard him talk about his Iraq plans. If you haven't heard him outline his views and plans, you haven't been listening. Better yet, you can read all of his proposals on his website.

Wow! An endorsement by Caroline Kennedy, and Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry (both of which may be a liability to Obama). Let's not forget Oprah! How much weight does this have in getting people to jump on a candidate's bandwagon? Really, is this supposed to mean something? Does the media really think we all lack the mentality to think for ourselves and must let celebrities do our thinking for us? Who is Hannah Montana endorsing...anyone know?

Caroline and her Uncle Ted are endorsing Obama. That's fine. Bobby Kennedy's son, Robert Kennedy Jr, and daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, have endorsed Hillary. That's fine, as well. Plenty of Kennedys to go around.

It's always the SAME people with the SAME names joining CNN in sainting Mr. Obama. Absolutely SHAMEFUL. CNN even failed to do a story after Iowa where all THREE of Robert Kennedy's children went straight to NEW HAMPSHIRE to campaign for HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON after Obama's win. In my opinion, that is much more newsworthy than a private citizen (Caroline Kennedy) who has no direct attachment to politics other than her father held the office for 2 years and seven months and who she's supporting.

WAY TO GO, CNN! I spoke with about six of my friends today- of them, three are supporting Obama and three are supporting Hillary. They ALL agreed that CNN is HUGELY biased towards Obama. People are beginning to see this and notice it more often, so you better BACK OFF of OBAMA and begin to cover BOTH candidates equally. Do your job, reporters! Remember what you were taught in school– good journalism requires unbiased, objective coverage of the news!

To say that the vote in South Carolina was not swayed by racial pride is outrageous! With 53% of th electorate being Black and Obama getting 81% of the Black votes how could he lose? Come on people, let us being honest. Just a FYI this is coming from a 25 year old Black male in New Jersey.

I think Hillary is the best person for the vote and I hope and believe New Jersey will deliver the votes to her.

Hillary 08

P.S

I could care less what the Kenndys think or whom they endorse

Well of course it's about race. The Republicans are licking their chops in the hopes that Obama will win the Democratic nomination. We still live in a racially divided society and there are still many white folks who would rather have a Republican (spit, spit, spit) than a black president.

To paraphrase one of Louisiana's most famous politicians, "the Republican nominee will have to be caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy to lose."

1. For those of you complaining that Obama is "silver-tounged", stop being lazy and do some research. Details are what each presidential candidate has a website for. There is plenty of information and specifics on Barack Obama's plans for people to find, if they stop regurgitating the same baseless criticism without putting in the time to look it up.

2. The fact is that all of the candidates can't do that much to make their policies into law. That job belongs to the legislative branch. People need to stop thinking that the President can just bull-doze any legislation in a system of checks and balances.

Tell me, with so many people flat-out against Hillary, and with all of her anti-republican sentiments, how will we ever get anything done should she become president? Some legislators won't support her measures, and she may not sign anything for approval unless its exactly what she wants.

I personally believe that Obama or Edwards would be better at bringing people together across party lines and special interests to act. I'm not against experience, but people aren't giving the Senator and Community Worker enough credit. Furthermore, he has the necessary SKILLS and CHARACTERISTICS to be President. You can have all the experience in the world but still make bad moves or not make much of a difference. That just isn't a strong enough argument, and it certainly shouldn't be the only one.

I'm deeply sorry that Ms. Caroline Kennedy has endorsed someone that has no experience and can't be compared to her dad. I thought very highly about her but with this endorsing of a candidate that will be "Bush like" made me wonder her reasons.

Thanks,

I am dumbfounded by this endorsement by Caroline Kennedy. How easy it is for her to look at a candidate who only offers inspiration. Well Caroline, walk a day in my shoes. You don't know what it's like to be down to the last dollar and have to figure out how you are going to pay your bills. It is sad that you and your uncle took this position.

I have lost faith and hope in you and your family and as of today I am no longer voting for any Kennedy seeking office and if there is a vote to adopt term limits, I will vote YES.

Obama really thinks his administration will be an administration of change? Give me a break. He still has the old boys club behind him, who will be running the office of the Presidency and him as they see fit.

With friends like you...who needs enemies???

Hillary, you have the vote of me and my family, because we know you have the experience and that you will know on DAY 1 how to fix our country.

I am still voting for Hillary Clinton. She strong , she;s smart and she'll be the winner. Settled down everyone. Winning for Obama in South Carolina was predictable. Go Hillary. And Bill, you were the one who got caught. I voted for you because you did give us a great economy with NO DECIFIET! I trust your wife as President.

Not all Kennedy's support Obama:

Statement from Kathleen Kennedy Townsend on Clinton's website:

"I respect Caroline and Teddy's decision but I have made a different choice. While I admire Senator Obama greatly, I have known Hillary Clinton for over 25 years and have seen first hand 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 shares so many of the concerns of my father. Hillary has spent a lifetime speaking out on behalf of the powerless and working to alleviate poverty, in our country and around the world. I have seen her work up close and know she will be a great President. At this moment when so much is at stake at home and overseas, I urge our fellow Americans to support Hillary Clinton. That is why my brother Bobby, my sister Kerry, and I are supporting Hillary Clinton."

I am dumbfounded by this endorsement by Caroline Kennedy. How easy it is for her to look at a candidate who only offers inspiration. Well Caroline, walk a day in my shoes. You don't know what it's like to be down to the last dollar and have to figure out how you are going to pay your bills. It is sad that you and your uncle took this position.

I have lost faith and hope in you and your family and as of today I am no longer voting for any Kennedy seeking office and if there is a vote to adopt term limits, I will vote YES.

Obama really thinks his administration will be an administration of change? Give me a break. He still has the old boys club behind him, who will be running the office of the Presidency and him as they see fit.

With friends like you...who needs enemies???

Most of Obama's supporter were not born when JFK was elected. When did experience and hard work become a bad thing and hoping and talking is now a good thing for democrats. What happened to ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. JFK was a war hero. He's no JFK.

The Clinton's have sooo much dirt underneath them. There is no honesty or integrity involved there. How can Hillary claim all this "experience" when all the experience she has had is being Bill's wife as 1st Lady. And we all know she didn't do a very good job at that. She has only had 1 shot as senator in New York. Gee she has held that job a real long time. If you want to know all about Senator Obama then check out his website. All his creditionals are listed right there. He doesn't owe anyone political favors or anything else. He is for the people. He works for the people. The fact that Caroline endorsed him is huge. She knows what she is talking about. Obama does inspire us like no other. I have always gone republican, but not this time. It is time for a Change and Barack is just the man to do it. I have never even wanted to get involved in politics before and find myself campaigning for this man and trying to help in any way possible. I have never been so inspired by anyone as I am Barack. I am not black, but what does it matter. I am American. Like Barack I have mixed race grandchildren, some are puerto rican, black, my son is cherokee indian, bottom line we are all American, That is what America is. We need to be united as one. One nation under God!

Barack Obama '08

The only sensible choice !!

I am happy about this endorsement, And I hope Obama becomes our next President. This country really needs Obama to lead us out of the past and on to a brighter future.

I think Caroline talked with Uncle Ted!!!!!
Way to go Teddy.Results from the North/East should now be Great.
Now to Calfornia and talk to Arnold!!!
Sorry Hillary & Bill--Maybe in the next life...

OBAMA 2008

Regards, Carl (Canada)

I hope she doesn't cry.

not to rain on the Obama lovefest, but what do you think is going to happen when (unfortuneately) racist america sees Obama vs McCain as their choices? that's right, folks. another republican in the white house.

Caroline is a fool, and should never take up flying her own plane. BO so called experience has been as a 'state senator', not even a full time job in most states. He is an empty suit. Hillary has run this country for 8 years during her former presidency with Bill as her lap puppet. Now that is the real experience that counts. This country needs the 'lady behind the curtain' NOW.

If you want to be like sheep, vote for the media's choice..Barack Obama. If he get's the nomination, I'll have to hold my nose & vote Republican.

Carol,

Hillary is weak and her biggest weakness is her dependence on Bill Clinton. Think about it.

Janice

Thomas Henson, you are right. I think people are making another mistake just like Bush. Caroline is nothing to me, she is a liar like Obama, if she was inspired by him why waited so long and endorse him when just blacks stood up. It is Ted's wicked plan. Kennedy family will regret soon. They are disgrace to family and shameful.

Why do I care what this person thinks?

As a woman, I have taken great pride in accomplishing things on my own. I deeply resent Hillary Rodham Clinton for depending on her husband to drag her across the finish line. She is weaker than I thought...(or must not believe she can do it on her own).

OBAMA HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST REPUBLICAN FRONT RUNNERS WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND THE ECONOMY.
***OBAMA IS A BLESSING TO REPUBLICANS*******

And Robert Kennedy Jr endorsed Hillary.

It's amazing reading some of these comments and find some people really don't know what they want but have a crystal ball to help them perdict the future.

WELL , HAVE THE KENNEDY'S LOST THEIR MINDS?! TO COMPARE BARACK OBAMA TO JFK IS ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, THE MOST LUDICROUS THING I HAVE HEARD IN YEARS.

MAYBE, AFTER SOUTH CAROLINA'S PRIMARY, BARRY SHOULD CHANGE HIS CAMPAIGN MOTTO TO: RUN, OBAMA, RUN!

ALTHOUGH, HE CANNOT HOLD A CANDLE TO JESSE; OR HILLARY.....

A MEMBER OF THE RAINBOW COALITION SAID THIS.

THERES A SPLIT IN THE KENNEDY ENDORSEMENTS..........Why is it that CNN reports some of the facts and not all of the facts? Is it to keep the Obama frenzy going. The fact is that other Kennedys do not have he same endorsements. Robert Kennedy's children, Kathleen, Kerry, and Bobby do not support Obama–they support Hillary. Albeit that JFK and his brother would also support Hillary. CNN can you report on the other Kennedys as well as Caroline and Ted????

Ginny, CA, I agree with you totally. I was also around for the Kennedy years and know of his background and preparation. And to independant (sic) woman, you say Caroline would know because she lived with JFK – sadly, only as a very small child, so her memories are of a nice daddy, just as we all have if we are lucky.

I find it interesting how little press is given to RFK Jr.'s endorsement of Hillary, and how much is made of Caroline's and Ted's endorsement of Obama – typical media bias again. And I doubt that most people would view Ted as much of a role model/source of good opinions, despite his pedigree. RFK Jr. has it right.

Go Hillary on 2/5 and throughout the next 8 years!

Wait....isn't Hillary a femenist? Then why did this turn into Billary?Why does she need a man to back her up?
OBAMA 2008!!!

All that Billary can do is Politic, we need a leader NOW and not a political machine!

yeh sherri and carol
agree completely

GO HILLIARY

Has anyone figured what Obama is really saying to us!
He is just a Pied Piper!

Oh great! I am waiting to see who Barney the Dinosaur is going to endorse.

WOW! Huge endorsement! This is great!!

America is now wide awake and rejecting the Clintonian's style of lies, fraud and disception !! This is history in the making, this is our chance !!

The Clinton's are NOT change …just more of the same.
Its been Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush for 20 years now,
Isn't that enough of these dynasties?

Vote for the future
Vote for REAL change
Vote Obama 08

I find is so funny (in a very sad way) that there are people supposing that they know JFK more than his own daughter. That is past the limit of ignorance.

MS.C.KENNEDY IS CORRECT, WHEN I FIRST HEARD BARACK SPEAK ONE NAME CAME TO MIND JFK. AND NOW HIS BROTHER ALSO AGREES, WE NEED A CHANGE PEOPLE, AND IF MR. OBAMA WANTS EVERYBODYS VOTE HE SHOULD ASK MR.JOHN EDWARDS TO JOIN HIM AS VICE PRESIDENT, WITH THESE TWO OUTSTANDING CITIZENS RUNNING TOGETHER, EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD JUST GET OUT OF THEIR WAY & LET THEM START TO HEAL THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS ...

I just read and saved the article from the Times. Thank you Caroline for articulating the comparsons I have been making. I am 67 years old, so I remember your father. My only sadness is that RFK Jr., doesn't share what you see. Maybe he will come around. Or he is in debt to Hillary for something.
Leslie Reynolds-Benns

CAROLINE WILL BE THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR OF BARACK OBAMA?
I'M SURE THE AMERICAN FINANCIAL MARKETS WILL BE DOWN ON MONDAY
SINCE OBAMA WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN SOUTH CAROLINE..

BARACK OBAMA. HE FFELS THAT HE HAS WON THE PRESIDENCY ..
NOW HE'S GIVING DISCOURSES WITH FULL OF SARCASTICS SMILES IN
ALABAMA...WITH HIS HANDS INSIDE HIS POCKETS?
"WHO SMILES TOO SOON LOST VERY SOON IN FEBRUARY ".

Having been closed friends with the Clintons for so many years, I can see how hard it was for Ted and Caroline Kennedy to make such a big decision. I strongly believe that God has enable them to transcend their doubts, fear or prejudice about Obama, and has opened their heart to finaly accept the fact that this man is unique and such opportunities are very rare. Obama happened to be a black man, just like John Kennedy happened to be white man! Maybe in the years to come we will have a spanish president, or even an asian american president, as female or male candidates. I myself had many doubts about Obama electability, but after watching all the democratic debates and witness the elegancy and leadership he has brought to his presidential campaign, I came to believe in him.
People needs to understand that the primary role of a president is to lead a nation by setting a vision and inspiring the people to follow. This kind of talent do not come thru an education, this kind of talent is given at birth and Obama happend to have received it. Such a man can transform a Nation, and I have no doubs that he can even transform the world. Americans need to look at the big picture here and I believe they will make the right choice.

130 or so present votes out of aprox. 4000 because of problems with a bill due to constitutional snafu's cited by the only candidate who taught constitutional law, represents good judgement.

Obama '08
No more politics of fear.

It is the democrats election to loose, if in a choice between a republican war hero and a possible muslum( not black) connection canidate ?? Whats going to happen to the support when the dirty politics start with two party canidates?

CAROLINE WILL BE THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR OF BARACK OBAMA?
I'M SURE THE AMERICAN FINANCIAL MARKETS WILL BE DOWN ON MONDAY
SINCE OBAMA WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY IN SOUTH CAROLINE..

Thomas Henson, I believe our country will do fine if you move to the UK. I can only hope your frustration with our country is bourn from the past and not from the possibilities that lie ahead. Those of us who pay attention are thrilled with the possibility of Obama leading us in a new direction. The past has taken it's toll on our country, we need someone to bring hope back to us. And before anyone tries to jump on that bandwagon (that Obama only preaches hope), check out Obama's website. He does indeed have great thoughts about how to lead us out of our current rut. Unlike Hillary who will just say whatever is needed, or do whatever is needed to get elected. AS far as your war comment. Obama is the ONLY one who had the good judgment before going into Iraq. I have no idea where your ideas about Kenya come from...fear from the Republicans? Fear does nothing but dibilitate people.

I have supported Obama since he announced his candidacy. It's nice to see that others can see the value in him leading us as well. Thank you Caroline and Ted for your good judgment and for endorsing Obama. I was not old enough to remember JFK being elected, but my aunt always spoke so highly of him. I know she feels the same about Obama. Inspiration can be so exciting!!

I am glad the Kennedys are endorsing Obama. I am a young voter and was unsure who I should vote for. I was completely turned off by Hilary Clinton if you are a femenist fight your own fight don't send your husband out to fight your battle! Show us you have what it takes is Bill gonna fight all your battles?
VOTE OBAMA its time for a REAL CHANGE!!!

Yeah for Obama!!! I know he is gonna win.

I agree, TH. we had quality candidates like Dodd, Biden,Kucinich and Edwards but the media has annointed this guy. I don't get it.

Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton(?)

Yeahup, looks like change to me if Hillary wins.

By the way, based on the "experience" Hillary thinks she has, the White House landscaper would qualify as "experienced."

35 years of experience? Really? Can someone tell me what political office Hillary held before she was a carpetbagging Senator from NY?

Slick Willy didn't think she was good enough to remain faithful to...and she didn't have the backbone to standup to him as a publicly humiliated woman. EXACTLY the type of woman that needs to be in White House (sarcasm added).

And by the way...to those of you who want to vote for Hillary just because we've never had a woman president, I bet you've never juggled chainsaws, either. And I doubt you're considering it now.

CAROLINE WHY DON'T
HAVE A MARCH EVERY NOVEMBER 22?
WE CELEBRATE MORE THE MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY?

Cathy & Susan, I entered my comments at 1:57 PM ET. There was nothing foul about them except a difference of opinion from most of the comments here. It's just all about how the media wants to spin this whole thing.

Interesting how every comment I make that criticizes the media in this country gets bounced. Can't face the truth??????????

After considerable consideration I too have endorsed Mr. Obama. He has the leadership qualities, life experience and message that brings out the best in people. A rare combination of talents and abilities that require a decision to support him now.

So what??? How old was this lady when her dad died??? What difference does it mean to anyone's life that she thinks that Obama MIGHT one day inspire her. I am already inspired by Hillary.

Those voices in the media that are pushing the Obama bandwagon, without subjecting him to the tough questions, are the same ones that pushed the Iraq War without asking the tough questions, and pushed George W. Bush's bandwagon without ever asking him the tough questions.

Don't be fooled by the media again. The media pundits, analysts, commentators and reporters, have agendas.... it's to keep you watching, keep you, tuned in.... controversy.. no matter how manufactured still sells.

Obama and the media combined to attack Clinton(s) and the African American population bought it in part, while the other parts showed that loyalty is just skin deep.

I think some of you that fail to see the similarities to JFK may be from the older generation. Obama is similar to JFK because he has been able to do what no one has in a long time...inspire a NEW GENERATION of voters to get out there are participate in the political process. It's about the feelings that he inspires in people. You can act like you don't see it if you want, but it's obvious. How could he possibly even stand a chance of winning the nomination against someone who has been been wheeling and dealing for years to become president if it weren't so? Finally, younger people are making their voices heard. I'm 33 years old and I'm tired of the baby boomer generation dominating everything. Seems like you guys have been in charge since before I was born! It's time for a change...people under 45 want to be included too. We work, we pay taxes, and we should have a voice.

So those of you that keep asking what change is Obama going to bring...there it is...he's already started. He is uniting people across color lines, gender lines, and generations to believe in this nation and become a part of the political process...to stop complaining and do something if we want things done differently.

You Hillary supporters really need to get over yourselves!!! I find it quite telling that each and every time she loses SHE AND HER SUPPORTERS want to scream it's all the media's fault. Will she not take RESPONSIBILITY for any of her faux pas during this campaign...perhaps starting with her spouse?

I suppose now that the media has become that VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY that she's always harping about. I'm a life-long Deomcrat and I'm joining the battle cry of ABH (ANYONE BUT HILLARY)!!!

We have lost pride in America. From most of the comment here, it's clear that Obama can help us restore that in ourselves. For all the people that keep saying he has no substance, they either don't want to hear or are not listening. How many times must one explain the Illinois state legislature voting process for people to understand that voting present is not ignoring the vote, but indictes you are in favor of the bill, but it may need some tweaking. If people would do some investigating instead of taking their talking points from the Clinton website, maybe we can move the discussion forward.
For all of you who believe that the Clinton have plenty of sunstance, I totally agree with you. To bad that the majority of it is LIES, SCANDAL, AND DECEIT.
Thank you Caroline Kennedy for seeing the truth. OBAMA 08'

I wonder if she knows about this.......Obama has a bad a rating as Clinton. He made Judicial Watch 10 Most Corrupt Politicians 2007.. ...Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A "Dishonorable Mention" last year, Senator Obama moves onto the "ten most wanted" list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin "Tony" Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company's shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.

Still find the guy dull as dishwater. Never liked his voting record. Find him uninformed and rude at every debate. The more I see of his personal character, the more negative my view of him becomes.

I am thrilled Caroline Kennedy is supporting Barack Obama! Pay attention, America!!

Another Iraq in Kenya?? Wow, Bush's policies and the overall suckiness of the last 7 years have gotten to you for sure.

I don't think Mr. Obama would send thousands and thousands of troops to Kenya or waste billions of dollars there. I do think he will vocally support U.N. peacekeeping forces to be sent or actively voice his support for fair elections and voice his concern for humanity in all of the stricken areas in Africa (Kenya, Darfur, Congo) as well as Pakistan, Israel, and Palestine. But that is what a good leader should do, a good President should implement his message for hope and equality and justice in our nation and throughout the world. It is what John F. Kennedy would do. So you can think what you want, that the Democratic party is using affirmative action to subvert the vote. It is a callous and dimwitted view and while you are in the UK, this country will heal and achieve its greatness.

It is obvious that some comments are not posted. I have left several today supporting Hillary Clinton that have not been posted, or removed. These comments have not been negative of Obama, but of media. Obama will make a fine President, after Hillary Clinton. My question is CNN's moderation kicking out emails based on honest critique?? What is our country turning into? This is scary when experiance is trumped by popularity.

Tom Henson start packing your bags!
Go Obama

OUT FREAKIN STANDING ENDORSEMENT !!!! AND CAROLINE WRITES QUITE WELL TOO . WOW , THAT IS AWSOME !!!

ALL CLINTON NEEDS TO DO NOW IS JUST CONCEDE RIGHT NOW AND MAYBE , IF HE ALLOWS HER, RUN AS OBAMA'S VP … BUT THAT'S AFTER SAYS PLEASE, OF COURSE ! AND ALSO AFTER SHE PLEDGES TO STOP FURTHER DIRTY POLITRICS ; AND AFTER A PROMISE TO KEEP A LEASH ON 'OL BUBBA , AND SHE NEED TOO ALSO APPOLOGIZE FOR THAT REZKO DEBACLE THAT SHE HERSELF IS NOT INNOCENT OF – YES HILLARY WE SAW YOU CAVORTING WITH REZKO ON THAT PICTURE , AND NO WE'RE NOT BUYING THAT YOU DON'T REMEMBER HIM …

OR SHE COULD JUST GIVE UP WHICH EVER COMES FIRST !

HA , LOL … THIS IS TO GOOD!

Disregard the previous post. he is pro choice.

Caroline's (who's she politically anyway?) eerie endorsement of Obama is a tribute to how strong the voters' support for Hillary is and has been. Despite pro-Obama endorsements before the New Hampshire primary and Nevada caucus, from Gov. Neapolitano, Sen. Leahy, Sen. Kerry, Culinary Workers Union, and many others, and although Hillary earned a few endorsements (including recent one from Robert F. Kennedy,Jr.), HILLARY STILL LICKED OBAMA. So, Caroline's endorsement would not count at all but only little among her bosom friends and loved ones. By the way, sorry to say, but , Caroline, Obama pales in comparison with your father who was my idol in the 1060s. For one, your father's speeches touched my heart, soul and mind. Obama's speech does not appeal to me with his undesirable choice of words and worn-out cliches good only for those who have not attended college or high school oratorical contests.

As to your uncle, Ted, he already showed his color when he and Rep. Emanuel of Illinois called on Bill Clinton to tone down his damaging rebuttals to Obama's campaign rhetoric. Ted's anticipated endorsement of Obama, if ever, timed before Super Tuesday for effect, will turn out likewise as worthless as the aforementioned pro-Obama endorsements. One more thing, so many anti-Hillary endorsements might reenact the backlash that led to Hillary's Hampshire primary victory, with so many, many knights of both sexes coming to the rescue of Lady Hillary.

To those who denounced the comebacking Clintons, it is about time to likewise for equal treatment's sake, to denounce the comeback Kennedys like Caroline and Ted Kennedy since the JFK luster is already past.
The reality check is that Hillary is more qualified and better prepared for the White House than any Democratic (and even Republican for that matter) candidate. This reality is lost on some big name Democrats who it seems inexplicably hate or dislike Hillary for personal reasons.

Have I been marked as a terrorist or what ? Why am I not allowed to comment ?

lets see someone that says future verses past sure has a lot of past baggage supporting him....

If Hillary is so past should she not be getting the establishement supporting her.

Hummm who realy is talking through both sides of his mouth!

Thomas Henson, please leave. America doesn't stand for racism and bigotry let alone stupidity.

Charles Rebison:

I agree with you. You are Obama is both "white" and "African" American. He is well positioned to be the uniter.

Thomas Henson...I'm right there with you! BRAVO! And I'll be right there behind you in line for UK citizenship.

Better then JFK, your kidding right? Those words should evoke an outrage.

John from VA:
He is 100% pro life. Check his record. Planned parenthood in Chicago has commended him for his prolife record.

Talk about a little racism, Thomas....what would the Queen think?

Come on folks, let's calm down a few. There is no way anyone can compare to the late President Kennedy! Of course, remember that Oprah is part of the equation with the Kennedys.

Sherri, I totally agree with your comments. Very intelligently written.

(I wrote something similar, but it was not recognized)

Senator Clinton keep on with your hard work. We would be proud to welcome and honor you as our next President.

TEDD KENEDDY SAMETHING SIMILAR TO OBAMA,HE LOVES LICORS,BARACK LOVES DRUGS?
ASK TEDD KENNEDY WHY HE DOESN'T INTEND TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT?

c ya later Thomas, hope you elect the "right" black man in UK, since his race matters so much to you

I am apalled at both Caroline and Ted. BO is no JFK an believe me I was a Kennedy supporter. BO will not unite but divide this great country. I vote HILLARY anf if BO gets the nomination I will hold my nose and vote republican.

I read a lot of slams against Senator Clinton. Then I read about the "dream" Obama has and how that "dream" would make for a great president. What I do NOT read is a single tangible thing Obama has done to PROVE to me that he is qualified to become president of the United States. The dream is wonderful, but what is the reality all about?

I agree Obama is not JFK. We are all unique in our own way but still Obama is reminding Caroline her own Dad...that's something. This will be my second election, the first time I choose George Bush but this year I am Obama republican. I just love this young fellow American. We needed a true Uniter and thanks God we found one.

Go Obama.

I have no respect at all for the Kennedy's as their lives are nothing to be proud of. A good portion of them have lead lives that just disgust me. They have never had any real consequences for their actions and have gotten away with stuff you or I (commom people) who ever be able to. So let them endorse Obama and turn off voters to vote for the other candidates.

the reason why this democracy works is that we all have an opinion, this does not give you however the right to call someone else wrong. as far as obama voting present what about hillary being absent and not voting at all for about 130 plus times why don't you mention that? we as americans ought to be proud we have progressed this far knowing that the rest of the world is watching us, thus di
sproving that we are more than greedy,spoiled self serving people.
praying for the nation.

I know Obama can get people inspired with his speeches – but, we need a president in the White House that can deliver!

What can he do?? What has he done? The only record we have to judge him on is what he did in the US Senate and the Senate in Illinois. How can anyone hit the wrong button 5 times when voting. How can a man of determination waiver 130 times when voting.

More than anytime in our history, we need a person in the White House that can set our country back on track. Hillary can do it!

HILLARY 08

Thought I would try again since mine is still awaiting moderation since last night:
January 26, 2008 9:45 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I am really disappointed in Carolina Kennedys endorsement of obama. The Clintons have so admired the Kennedys all their lives. JFK was Bill Clintons mentor from the time he went to Boys State when he was just a teen ager. They visited the Kennedys and admired them so much. I do think loyalty should count for something and I don't believe that obama is a JFK. I certainly hope that Edward Kennedy doesn't follow suit. I am really shocked and disappointed and wish she had not endorsed anyone.

Caroline.... your father would be so ashamed of you for being such a fool.

If Obama wins this election, I already have my visa ready to start my path towards UK citizenship. If Obama wins, I wash my hands of this country which barely even resembles the country I swore allegience to as a child. And before anyone even mentions it, I would not care if a black man(or even a black WOMAN) were voted president, but I beleive the democratic party chose THE worst black man possible to run in this election... almost like they grabbed him up JUST because he was black and in their party, and then grabbed hillary JUST because she is female.

Almost as if the Democratic party is betting on both sides of affirmative action to subvert the vote. Well, if Obama wins I hope you guys are ready for another iraq in his native Kenya.

HE IS BETTER THEN JFK

As a Veteran and a proud VVA supporter I have to say that this Veteran supports Obama 100%. He has stood above the others on Veterans issues. Need proof? Go to the VVA website and check out this months or last years VVA magazine.

If people want or need to be inspired, perhaps they should find a church, join a club, or volunteer for a cause that interests them. If they have a need to feel good, perhaps they should consult a doctor and rule out underlying depression. What they should NOT do, in my opinion, is vote for a canidate that they can rah rah rah behind–like the presidential election is a football game.

This is huge for Barack. Having the support of the Kennedy's will go a looonng way.

Thanks Caroline.... and now Ted!

kudos for Caroline for having a vision of real change

Clinton is NOT change ...just more of the same ole same ole
good grief its been Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush for 20 years
Isn't that enough for Americans of these dynasties

Vote for REAL change
Vote Obama 08

Get a new fresh face in the white house

Talk about going back in history!! Then again the old saying goes, die and no one says anything bad about a person. RIP President Kennedy, and would you endorse Obama, I think not.

Obama is no Kennedy. I am disappointed that any of the Kennedy's would disgrace John Kennedy in this manner. Oh well, Ted endorsed Kerry, and we all see where that got him.

When the Rezko trial begins in Feb., I wonder how many people will be glad that they endorsed someone who is s slum lord. Rezko-O-Rama!!

As for SC, no democrat has won there since Carter in 1976 in the general election.

I will not vote for Obama no matter who endorses him. He has created a big divide in the democrat party, and I refuse to vote for someone who is a male chauvinist pig.

Who's Behind Obama-Same speech each time with no real avenues of policy discussion. The blacks did not vote for our economic concerns, they voted to support the blacks–no problem but lets be real. The Kennedy's are now supporting Obama–no surprise there–they've been behind the scenes with Oprah since the inception. What better way to further their policies than support an inexperienced novice to further their ideology. He is a pawn for the ole money to use. Big–Big–Money, make no mistake, their are republican idiologies here, with a lot of smear tactics. Stop comparing John and Bobby Kennedy to Obama, he is not like the great ones....maybe in his speeches–his are definately motivational–only thing hes got going for him. Obama can and will be swayed by other powerful individuals–just wait it will be known to the country's dispair. Additionally–take away all of the news media, the Oprah's, the Kennedy's and other endorsements, just the candidates–who would win? Make no mistake, Hillary hands down. Wake up people–who is really running, Oprah or the Kennedy's. Does CNN report the Obama tactics against Hillary–no, and why?????? Hillary cant be swayed by powerful individuals, she stands behind her policies–not sure what Obama stands for–but do know that he's got some heavy backers who want their policy ideas, both reprublican and democratic to become a reality.

Reading all this from Hillary's fans there is an atmosphere of Negative This is showing me more and more this is what Hillary's camp is about Negative emotions and no Unity. Can we trust the Clintons to run our Country. America Please wake up.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE CANPAIGN FOR THE LAST FOR FIVE MONTHS. I’VE BEEN WATCHING ALL THE NETWORKS AND I HAVEN’T SEEN WHAT BILL CLINTON SAID THAT WAS RACIST.THE MEDIA AS FANED THE FLAMES OF RACISM TO REPORT SENSATIONALISM. PLEASE ANYONE THAT READS THIS MESSAGE LET ME KNOW WHAT HE SAID.

IF YOU WATCH THE REPUBLICAN, THEY SAY WHAT THEY WANT ABOUT THEMSELVES, THERE’S NO RACISM. BUT IFYOU HAVE THE SAME DEBATE BETWEEN A WHITE CANDIDATE AND A BLACK CANDIDATE THE WHITE CANDIDATE IS CALLED A RACIST, INTERJECTING A CODE MESSAGE OF RACISM. WHERE IS THE UNITY OFA PEOPLE WHEN A BLACK CANDIDATE COULD SAY ANYTHING THEY WANT AND THE WHITE CANDIDATE MUST MEASURE THERE STATEMENT.

Susan Maloff–quit whining...at least your comments get printed. Mine always say "awaiting moderation"/

Sherri-

Why should Obama get 16 year olds off the street? Isn't that the parents job?

What has he done for his people? His people is the AMERICAN people. Give the man a chance to show what he can do for his people.

What did the Clintons do for their people? With all the years of experience she's citing, the healthcare issue should have been taken care of a long time ago.

Obama and Edwards should just unite and get rid of the her.

to MIKE J: sorry bud but not everyone abuses their daughters like you seem to think, most people would respect their daughters wishes especially if she is an adult, this intolerant and negative attitude im afraid is consistent with hrc supporters. Caroline kennedy is an adult and if she thinks obama is as inspirational and capable as her father, she is right on!

Caroline

Thanks for going "public" with your endorsement. It is good to hear from you!

I was a few months too young to vote for your dad, but he was to me exactly what you say in your opinion–he was a huge inspiration!

And I worked on Robert Kennedy's campaign while I lived in Southern Oregon. A few days (or was it hours) later he was killed in L.A.

I haven't yet decided who I will vote for, but I am a Democrat and have been all of my adult life.

THERE IS SO MUCH MENTION ABOUT BILL CLINTON SUPPORTING HIS WIFE CANDIDACY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THAT THIS SITUATION HAS TRANSPIRED. WHAT WOULD THE MEDIA BE SAYING IF HE WASN’T ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL SUPPORTING HIS WIFE.

THERE TALKING NOW ABOUT BILLS MENTION THAT JESSE JACKSON WON SOUTH CAROLINA BUT DIDN’T WINNING THE NOMINATION. THAT WAS A RACIST REMARK, WHY? IF JESSE JACKSON HAD GONE ON TELEVISION AND SAID, I WON THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY BUT NOT THE NATIONAL NOMINATION. THAT WOULD BE OK!!!!! THERE’S A DOUBLE STANDARD HERE AND WE COULD NEVER HAVE UNITY UNTIL THOSE ISSUES ARE ADDRESS. THE FACT IS THAT JACKSON OWN THE SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY AND NOT THE NOMINATION

Thanks Sherri. I rest my case.

We need to remember the prosperity of the 90's under the Clinton regime- 22 million new jobs, a balanced budget, no war, and a very popular leader. Women need to unite behind HILLARY! We are letting the black and white men control and divide the women's vote. Obama is inexperienced and cannot run this country. The press has done everything to distort and defile the Clintons. Hillary is the only choice to save this country. Who cares about Caroline and Ted Kennedy of the wealthy Kennedys – do they have to worry about jobs and health care? HILLARY CARES! WOMEN, get behind a female leader!

No one knows Caroline's father better than she and her family did.

Also, Obama is not black or white–he is BOTH!. I am a black woman but do not claim him as a black. HIs mother (whom is white) carried him in her womb for 9 months. There is no reason for him to choose which one of their race to claim. He is simply both.

I was very proud the day he won South Caroliina. Behind him stood blacks and whites together in the celebration. He is a uniter and that's what America needs.

Back in 1963, then President John F. Kennedy wanted an end to the Federal Reserve System, and with a simple stroke of the pen he ordered the U.S. Government to restore its Constitutional mandate of controlling the money. President Kennedy was taken from us three weeks later. When President Lyndon Johnson took office, he immediately rescinded Kennedy's order and the Federal Reserve lives today, printing money, creating inflation.

Ron Paul is the real hope for what America once was. Education is better than ignorance.

If the Republican's were smart, they would put the only candidate left who DID NOT vote for the Iraq Resolution. And he showed everyone he knows about the economy more than McCain, this media and the "debates" hardly even ask him questions anymore- what a joke this country is becoming.

Look up San Fransico Gop straw poll cancellation. Look up Louisianna Gop caucus results. Even CNN doesn't even report on Dr. No anymore...

If you vote for anyone other than Ron Paul, you will see in a few years this ecomomy really go into a recession, especially if we continue this welfare state. We have 5 million out of work, we need workfare.

"WE KNOW THAT SHE IS CAPABLE OF BOTH UNITING AND LEADING" **********************GO HILLARY 2008**************************************************

Mary in SC summarized it best-you Clinton supporters are as negative and divisive as the candidate you are backing. If the best you can do is spew forth nasty and often immaturely petulant comments then it only proves that our country will be no better off under Hillary's leadership than it is under the current administrations'. While endorsements may not matter in the long run, I pray that the rest of you will recognize the unique opportunity we have to put someone in the White House who has the talent and desire to do what needs to be done first-make the United States of America UNITED again, and that person is Senator Obama.

"There is nothing in life permanent, but change." Whether it is called God’s will or evolution, we as individuals change just as all things change that inhabit this world. What makes us different is our awareness. Those with the knowledge, courage, and strength to embrace change can simply be described as powerful. Not bound my historical application and repetitive seclusion, these individuals (or group of people) possess a vision that allows them to move ahead. As they charter this journey into the future, fear is an emotion that is trumph by possibility. I feel that a true agent of change recognizes this strengh and power in Barack Obama. An endorsement from the Kennedy dynasty, now, makes me believe that anything is possible and it is okay to vote with my heart...truth conquers lies, good defeats evil, light will prevail darkness, and the sky is the limit.

People! don't pretend you can be more catholic than the pope! Carolina Kennedy lived all her life with her father John F K, before he entered the public life; he is her father for goodness sake and she said Obama remind her of her father and you guys are disgracing?

Are you saying you know JFK kennedy better than his daughter? That is is rediculous or blind arguments by Hillary supporters who are annoyed because Caroline did not support Hillary.

You lost this battle, go fight another one.

Oh! wait a second, Ted Kennedy will be endorsing Obama next week. Note that Ted have a close tie with the Clintons, Caroline was supporting Hillary before she decide endorsing Obama.

Go get a live! Stop pretending that you know JFK more than his daughter.

Was historic event or action JFK did before he was elected into office? Nobody knew him and alot of people doubted him as naive and uninformed before he become president just like you are doing to Obama.

When you try to compare JFK or Bill Clinton to Obama, do not use any event or any of their actions during their presidency to compare them. Compare Bill Clinton or JFK before they become the president to Obama, that is the only fair comparison.

Stop been haters.....

Doesn't anyone remember how Ted Kennedy divided the Democrats in 1980 for his own political gain? Remember that scene at the Democratic Convention where he stood on the opposite side of the stage from President Carter, who was the nominee? Ted has been on the wrong or loosing side of many issues and should not get caught up in moment and look ahead, especially to the general election and the Republican machine that will crush Obama.

I have heard Obama and Clinton speak. Obama does not address the issues that concern American's in enough detail. He is swept up in his own celebrity and this is not good for the democratic party. Someone posted that Clinton supporters are nasty in their comments. I do not see that. I guess its not tasty to continue to talk about Bill's personel life as if it has anything to do with Hillary's campaign. I want a strong leader who will not only bring change, but will also be able to handle whats ahead. I do not think Obama will survive in a general election. SC proved very little, other than retoric can sway voters to make choices based on retoric. Why would anyone not apprciate experiance in an election with so much at stake. Obama is proving that he has some weakness, and refusing to answer questions about his record will hurt him, if not in the primary season, he will be taken to task by republicans in a general. We had a loser in Kerry, we can not afford that again. Please, make your decisions carefully and nominate the best person for that job. Obama has not earned that nomination yet.

Thank you Caroline for your vision with this wonderful endorsement. I was in 8th grade when your father was killed. I cried my heart out for you and all of us is this country. We lost a remarkable man and we loved him. Clearly he left you with his wisdom and love for America.
I am an Obama supporter and am proud of your endorsement.
Thank you Caroline and thank you SC in you amazing support for this honorable man.
Omama 08

I am an Edwards supporter, but I have to say, if this is followed by an endorsement from Ted Kennedy, its over. I say that because Ted K's a stalwart of the democratic party, and his endorsement on top of John Kerry means that the "old guard" of the Democratic party is ready to fully support Obama.

If so, Obama needs to quickly focus on providing specifics on how he will implement his vision, and also begin building and talking about a network of experienced Dems who will be his senior advisors. By doing this now it will short circuit the GOP who certainly will want to run against his lack of experience and lack of specifics in his plans. After all, they have nothing to run on, they have to run against the Dem candidate.

Obama is a lot like ther fahter? Well, Kennedy tried to stand up to the military industrial comples by endin the Viet Nam war before it viturally began and look what happened to him and the public can't see the records until 20029? Why? what is the governement behind the government hiding?

Thank you Carolina, and thank you Caroline!

Obama is JFK-esque!!!

Obama 2008! Obama 2012!!

All American people remember our president of JFK, but Obama NONE OF THINGS CAN BE COMPARED, Ms. Calorine endorsing Obama, let me feel she has not respect his father, JFK was so Great President, his inspiration and his ability not only leading our country it is the entire world.

Shame on her.....

More telling is how Caroline has remain out of politics herself in the past, all of these years. Obama has a way to get people involved.

I have always admired Caroline Kennedy for the good work she has done and the books she has written but I disagree heartily with her endorsement of Obama. I cast my first vote for President Kennedy and I fully believed in him but I think it is a great mistake to compare Obama to him. I think it is an insult. Obama is playing the "black" card and we will all be in a sorry mess if he becomes the next President. Bush has made a mess of things but it will only get worse if Obama gets in. He can't say "present" to foreign leaders or to the people of the United States. Get off his bandwagon CNN and start showing fair politics in both the democratic & republican races. You, CNN, are racist & biased.

Caroline Kennedy should just mind her P's and Q's and stop trying to convince everybody to vote for O'Bama. O'Bama is to young to be a president not to mention that he is such a liar. Actually they are all a bunch of liars. I am disqusted with all of them. Maybe we will have better choices in 2012.

WE WILL HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT, THAT WILL MAKE HISTORY FOR ALL AMERICANS; PRESIDENT OBAMA NOT ONLY WILL MAKE POSTIVE CHANGES,HE WILL BE ONE OF THE ONLY PRESIDENTS THAT WILL KEEP HIS WORD.;THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL, HIS IS ALL GOOD! UNLIKE SOME? THE WINDOW IS CLOUDY WITH SELFCENTERED,SELFNESS, AND BAD LIARS ; AND MOST OF ALL FEARS THAT PARALIZE ONE FROM MAKING SOUND DECISIONS;

JOHN F. KENNDY, MARTIN LUTHER KING; AND PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA BELIEVE IN THE 91ST PSALM AND MOST OF ALL PSALM 27,"HAVE NO FEAR I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU'!

I have a great idea.
Let's vote for the most likable, the best dressed, the cutest, the one who quotes the best, the one who gives the best speeches, and reminds us of someone like JFK and MLK. Let's vote for change and Hope. Which we know nothing about. The one who wants to change washington politics and then receives endorsements from Kerry and Kennedy. Let's vote for someone who votes "Present" 130 times. Instead of making a desiscion. Changes his votes because he pressed the wrong button or didn't mean to vote the way he did when he gets feedback on how he voted. . Will be a great role model to our children by claiming that it's okay to take drugs to solve problems as long as you quit. (Never mind the one's who can't quit.) Then run for president after promising the voters of Ilinois to complete his term. All of these things will certainly get us jobs and food on the table, better relations with foreign countries and end the war in Iraq. Hey, great candidate, right?

Let's forget all about experience, the economy, foreign relations, the war in Iraq, and Healthcare and taking resposibilty for one's voting record, good or bad.

Then everyone wonders WHY America is going down the tubes. There you have it. The presidency for the U.S. has become a popularity contest. The one's to blame are WE the voters because we are putting these people in office.

First a Caroline Kennedy endorsement and now a Ted Kennedy endorsement. Talk about the kiss of death, the Kennedy brand of dirty, divisive politics is what cost the Democrats the White House for most part of the last 40 years. Is this what Obama means by turning the page? I guess turning the page backwards to go back to the 60s. In spite of liberal media revisionism, Kennedy would have probably had a hard time getting re-elected in 1964. As an incumbent he only had 50% of the country's support in 1963 and that too as an incumbent. Talk about polarization. Ronald Reagan, who Obama admires so much, once called JFK "a Marxist." Nominating Obama with Ted Kennedy riding his coattails will cost the Democrats the White House for the next 8 years.

I supported Clinton in the 90s and hated the Republicans for their 'right wing conspiracy against the Clintons'. But now, I see how the Clintons are rutheless on anyone that could be in the way of their perceive entitlement – the presidency.

Let's see, the experience of HRC in the major issues of today.

She was wrong on Iraq from the beginning – authorizing war and the flip-flop after.
She was wrong on Iran – the grandstanding – that Bush would have definitely taken it to war if it were not for CIA this time around.
She did not recommend a tax rebate to stimulate the economy before the big dive. Now she is running around talking about it as if she was the originator of the idea.

Obama was on the right side in all of these. Facts speak for who has the better judgement. It is not about regurgitating numbers that you heard from experts on foreign policy or economy; it is about instinct and judgment.

Then, of course, there is the Clintons polarizing behavior. Look at what the Clintons managed to do in just two weeks – almost divided the democrats and the Clintons say 'we love this contact sport'. This is I guess the '35 years' experience they are talking about. They are so out of touch that we are sick of it. This experience is actually what is keeping us from achieving the solutions of all the issues facing us today. If they can't rally the Democrats of today, not of 1992, how could they bring independents and Republicans to the table. The latter are salivating to continue the fight with Clintons interrupted by Bush presidency. Now I know the Clintons love it as well, but not on our votes this time around!!!

And when the Clintons loose they throw away the rules they agreed upon. See what they did in Nevada and now in Florida. Again, part of their '35 years' of experience. Say and do anything to just get elected. We don't owe them the presidency. They have to work for it in a fair way, playing by the rules they agreed upon.

For the better of the country, they just should vanish with the little remaining dignity they might have left. Otherwise, they will take us back in worse mess than they did last time. Don't forget, Clinton cultivated the atmosphere for a Bush presidency.

OH BOY THIS WILL CHANGE EVERYONES MIND! GIVE ME A BREAK OBAMA WON SC BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS ANYONE REALLY SURPRISED? WELL I HOPE HE ENJOYS IT BECAUSE HE IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MEDIA PORTRAYS HIM AS A GOD AND PAINTS HILLARY IN A BAD LIGHT! BECAUSE OUR COUNTRY WOULD RATHER SEE A BLACK MAN BE PRESIDENT THAT AN ACCOMPLISHED WOMAN. TALK ABOUT DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON WOMEN WE NEED TO GO TO BAT FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW SHE WILL BEAT HIM AND TURN THIS COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY I AM WITH YA GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY 2008

WE WILL HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT THAT WILL MAKE HISTORY FOR ALL 91AMERICANS;PRESIDENT OBAMA NOT ONLY WILL MAKE POSTIVE CHANGES,HE WILL BE ONE OF THE ONLY PRESIDENTS THAT WILL KEEP HIS WORD.THE EYES ARE THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL, HIS IS ALL GOOD; UNLIKE SOME; THE WINDOW IS CLOUDY WITH SELFCENTERED,SELFNESS, RUDE BAD LIARS ; AND MOST OF ALL FEARS THAT PARALIZE ONE FROM MAKING SOUND DECISIONS;

JOHN F. KENNDY, MARTIN LUTHER KING; AND PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA BELIEVE IN THE 91ST PSALM AND MOST OF AL PSALM 27,"HAVE NO FEAR,I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU!

Senator Obama has a wonderful gift. He is an inspirational speaker. He can unite people. He just needs some seasoning. I don't want someone in the White House that needs a year or two to learn the ropes. Regardless of how much he wants to change things. Senator Obama cannot change anything without the cooperation of the Legislative and Judicial branch of the government. He needs to know when to hold em and when to fold em. He doesn't even know the rules of the game.

If he was pro-life I would vote for him!

I think JFK would give his little girl a spanking and hi brother a black eye if he was still alive.What a big mistake they are making.They are jumping the gun on this one.Ted Kennedy and Caroline seen how much Obama one by in SC and then jumped to Obamas side.I think they should have waited untill super tuesday was over.They will be saying the same thing on the wednesday after.

GO HLLLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no vote but am very intrigued with this campaign. Congrats to Caroline
Kennedy and I hope that most Americans will follow her lead. Obama would be the best candidate to bring respectability and belief back to the USA. As a non-american I see how much influence you have on the world, and how much the respect has been lost. Hilary will not do as much as Obama will to bring the USA back to being a true world leader!

When are people gonna get it! the republicans dont want the clintons back in the white house! nothing will ever get done as they would stop her every step of the way, like they did in 93" to her health care plan! obama is the choice to get things done on a bi-partisan level!

I'm neutral in this race (foreign living in US). This is the first time I have the opportunity to follow very closely the entire primary debates/selection/election. For someone who is a politic-addict, I must say: What a show! You must feel very lucky to have these two talented and strong candidates (don’t get too exited Rudy and Romney; I'm referring to the democratic candidates!).
Politic is the art of painting the worlds using the words as colors. Hearing Barak talking yesterday was like admiring a beautiful Monet painting au Musee d'Orsay!

Yes, my neutrality took a hit yesterday and it is slightly tilting…

People get so carried away by hype instead of substance.
What has Obama done in his political career to unite?
What has Obama done to get 16 year olds off the streets?
What has Obama done for his "people"?
What has Obama done except look good in suits, talk a good game and look "presidential"?
He is not promising anything, he is not saying anything. He has no plans or outline for fixing the problems that will be left behind.
Listen hard at what he doesn't say at the next debate. He never answers a question. Instead he will attack his opponents ideas or tell an anecdote about himself or start throwing around America is ready for a "change".
Sweet nothings, that's all it is.

OBAMA is not experienced enough, please. His disorganized thoughts on debates shows it. I want someone who is more experienced and knows what to do on Day one and that is HILLARY CLINTON.

I am so tired of hearing people say Obama doesn't talk about specific policies; he DOES! Read his web site and listen to what he says. He speaks of very specific plans.

I'm sorry, but this whole endorsement thing is nothing more than media fluff. It's sad that politics has taken the route of everything else in this media fanatic culture. Endorsements...big deal.

Frankly, I'm disappointed in Caroline Kennedy. I'm disappointed in anyone that is injecting their popularity status into the election by making premature endorsements. I might as well just give up my vote and say... put my vote where ever Brad Pitt decides to put his. This process only further disenfranchises the American public from having to get involved with politics and look at the real issues.

One reader commented: Wow! That's a great endorsement from Caroline Kennedy. I'm beginning to jump on this Obama bandwagon.

This is exactly why endorsements are nothing but fluff. It equates with the kid having to have a pair of Nike's because Michael Jordan endorsed them. No wonder why there are so many young people voting. This is what they relate to! It's not about the issues or whether the candidate will make a good president.

Sure, Obama gives a good speech. What about his credentials? His statements indicate that he will micro-manage the White House if elected. HOW is that different from the past seven years?

I'm not opposed to Obama. He might make a fine president 8 years from now after he has an opportunity to build his resume. He came to the Senate and immediately started thinking of the Presidency. I haven't seen anything to prove his readiness.

Anyone black can win SC. EX: Jessie Jackson..JFK was the first president I voted for and Barack is no JFK. I don't know anything about Caroline except she was his daughter. Maybe because he kept refering to himself as another JFK is why she was impressed. The Kennedys are, and will continue to be a force in American politics. I did not know RFKjr. had endorsed Hillary until I read it here. Not that I believe everything I read here. Anyone else notice CNN did not cover all of Hillarys' speech, but Barack and Edwards went on and on. Barack is not a black JFK. He is a good speaker, so was JFK. But that is where the similarty ends. JFK did not stammer and stutter in the debates. He could hold his own with the best of them. I might add he did not win the popular vote he won the electoral college. That is what Obama must do. Once your out of the south the black vote is not the dominate vote. Then you must show you are more then a good talker. He was not on a PT boat in the Pacific. He does not have the experience in politics as JFK. The next debate is probably the most important, he better be a little quicker on his feet, you don't have a scripted speech. No re-writes when the mike is on!

Although you should vote for the candidate who fits you best...I'm already dedicated to Obama, I have been so for a long time, in fact I've already voted early here in Los Angeles. I have a great deal of respect for the Kennedy's. Ted Kennedy is to endorse Obama on Monday, and he is a very influential figure, and well respected. Caroline has managed to stay away from Politics, and for the first time she's getting involved...Now if that isn't inspiring then I don't know what is.

Robert Kennedy Jr is also a supporter of Hugo Chavez. That should tell you something about General Clinton

As an international observer of American Politics, it is very interesting and exciting for me to see the evolution of democracy in this country.

My question to the good people of America is this: How far has this democracy evolved? Not too long ago, people of colour were deemed not good enough to join their white brothers and sisters in restaurants, recreational areas, on buses, even in some churches!

Uncle Sam being the poster boy for democracy in the international community, it will be interesting to see how Barack fares since his immediate family has ties to Kenya, Indonesia and Canada (ie Africa, Asia and the western world).

I bring this up because the current administration and their foreign policies are so unpopular around the world, and looking at Barack myself, it is my opinion that he has the unique advantage of being the only candidate who can bring back our admiration for America and american style democracy.

Some say that he has very little experience. I think his so-called inexperience is actually a strength that he can bring to the White House. This means that he will not be held back by the day to day "no can do" attitude, pessimism and cynicism of the "experienced" Washington insider. This means that he can look at the current state of affairs with "new eyes" and see "new solutions". (After all just think about it–do we really want the house of Clinton back on Pennsylvania Avenue? Seriously…isn't eight years long enough?)

Since Barack's father left them for a Ph.D in Economics from Harvard, Barack was raised primarily by his white mother and his white grandparents the Dunhams. Seeing where he is today in the world, all I can say is that he had an excellent upbringing. They taught him good from bad. They taught him collaboration. They taught him leadership. They raised him well, and from an international point of view, this bodes well for the future of America and our global village.

Two cents please.

siagian@michigan

who cares??

Hey Caroline insight is a beautiful thing... I'am sure Obama is thankful that you to can see the vision... It is time... has been time... long past time... and now it is time... for that change... that we all have been looking for... and let's thank Obama in 08 for having the courage to accept the challenge and with the help of a free thinking people... we will push forward... to take good care of our nation... because... good things always happen... when decent people... take up a cause... Obama will be a good president and a decent world leader... we will not be disappointed or misled by lies and deceit... how's that for a change?

Obama only gets 25% of the white vote in SC. He is done, and this shows it. If he doesn’t get at least 35% of the white vote he will not make it. With out the Hispanic vote he will have problems too. He will need much more support from whites and Hispanics come Feb.
The African Americans have turned on Hillary and rightfully so because of the dirty games the Clinton’s played. But I have to say Bill is a political guru knowing the whites will turn on Obama, and they did and will continue to turn on Obama. He will get some of the white votes but not enough. Florida will show white voters have turned on Obama in a big way just like the Blacks have turned on Hillary.

Pat Buchanan has it right when he says Bill got the whites turning on Obama.

I am SO not surprised to see the high number of anti-Obama comments.

Where's my glowing praise of Obama? It was nicely worded and without hatred toward the opposition.

Yet "OMG PLEASE I'm from Illinois and uninformed" gets posted before my words?

This is precisely why my father refers to CNN as the "Communist News Network" and precisely why I tell my students on a daily basis that real news is online, and not on their TV screens.

Keep up the filtering and silencing, CNN! You're showing me why I can continue to tell my students that JOURNALISM AS WE KNEW IT IS DEAD!!!

I don't think Obama is JFK, not even by a long shot. He was a moderate on taxes and other issues. We really don't know what Obama stands for, because he never really talks about it. Just change, change, change. But I would guess that he's very liberal if the Ted Kennedy and Caroline are are endorsing him.

If she believes obama is like her father then who are you to say different.
YOU CHOOSE 08

I fail to see the importance of either Kennedy endorsement. I think people are forgetting that like the Clintons, the Kennedy's have had, and continue to have their share of dishonorable moments.

The Kennedy's are seen as great supporters of civil rights, yet they live tucked away on their protected compound on Martha's Vineyard away from the consequences of their actions, both private and public.

Obama's awesome but I still support Hilary to start getting us out of W's messes.

Hope she picks Obama as VP though, imagine how great the following would be:

Hilary 2008
Hillary 2012
Obama 2016
Obama 2020

Obviously, the Democratic party is doomed to failed!!! It's idealism is so strong, it's destroying the fabric of the party. Obama clearly lacks the qualifications to be President. However, our silly idealistic party could care less. First Obama is like MLK, now he is like JFk, clearly Obama supporters are overdosing on media hype. Anyone with common sense, knows that the blacks in South Carolina voted strictly on the basis of race. Therefore the vote in South Carolina, is unimportant because it was a racist vote! If the Hillary Clinton doesn't win this nomination as she should, I will definitely dump the Democratic party! As said before, it's excessive idealism is killing the party.

OMG PLEASE tell me how Obama is ANYWHERE near MLK, JFK???

I live here in Illinios, until he started running for President, I had NEVER EVEN HEARD OF HIM!!!

People are just trying to be P.C. and vote for the black guy!

I am NOT a racist! I am married to a person of color, I was excited when he came on the scene, I REALLY was...So far, he has ONLY quoted other famous people, LOTS of Dr. King quotes (which he shouldn't do) He is NOTHING like any of these people he keeps quoting, america needs to pay more attention!!!

The media has made this election about race. The South Carolina polls verified this fact. Senator Obama does not have enough experience to run our country.
If you search your memory to the 2000-2004 elections, the media (mostly Reublicans) swayed people to vote for Bush, not once but twice.

I for one am not ignorant. I will vote for the candidate of my choice, and will not allow anyone to sway my decision. It is my opinion that the Republicans would like to see Obama win, because in the end, he will be the least capable of fending off Republican attacks.

After reading the editorial, I appluad Caroline on sharing her thoughts. However, she noted,

"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."

I beg to differ. As a 14 year old in '92, Bill Clinton inspired me. He did so much to make me believe in the possibilities, while laying out a plan. Unlike Senator Obama, then Gov. Clinton laid out a plan f how he was going to get our economy back on track. He did more than just give talking points. He also had a decades worth of high-level experience. I am backing Senator Clinton because of the same reasons. She has so much expeirence and knows the intricies of how the politics of DC work. I only hope the Democratic party will remember how much President Clinton did for our party and the country. Thanks to Senator Obama people are beginning to second-guess our former presidnet. How sad for someone who advocates such a positive message.

GO HILLARY!!

Obama is no John Kennedy.

Go HIlliary

its easy, this man will govern together with America people. Its not about how much moss some people purport to gathered but simply just a nation able toresonate together can achieve. Other guys coz of supposedly habitual gathered moss for a long time, will reference from then, hey its a new world! America needs more patriotic moves like this at such a time like this or she will fade like morning cloud.
Bravo Carol

To each his/her own. She has the right to endorse anyone. Her endorsement will not affect anyone's vote not even Ted Kennedy's endorsement. American people are wise enough to know that HILLARY is the only candidate qualified to lead us in Day one.

She still leads the national polls and she will fight back! She is a strong woman with firm convictions. GO HILLARY for 2008! And do not understimate the Clintons, they will win it! That is politics.

It's so pathetic to read from this blog about those who still live in denial that Sen. Barack Obama is no JFK. Nobody (esp. people saying Obama is nothing like JFK) would ever never know or share JFK (both private & public) life & character more than his daughter did – Caroline Kennedy.
And for Caroline Kennedy to say, "I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans." is something for all of us to ponder ...The truth about for the defining moment of our nation politics.
Thanks Caroline Kennedy! Go Obama!! And God bless helps us all to bring back the lost glory of the greatest nation on earth!!! Go America!!!!

So Change is the word of this campaign! So whats Obama's change, all I hear him talk about is the word change with no real definition! Whats his stance on the issues, ya he speaks great, but whats behind is church alter speaking is what I am worried about? I think Caroline is great, but to compare Obama to her dad is not fair, that should be said after we see how he is if he does become president, as right now he reminds me of Bush in 2000, all talk with no real definition to his actions!

LISTEN FOLKS - THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.....

NOT ONE OF THE PRIOR 101 postings mentioned the BIG DEAL.

Consisitency, a track of record of being a leader or consistent in his views.

PREDICTION : It's Obana vs. McCain (Caroline or John-John (R.I.P. '99) , really don't make a difference here...)

Obana 's 130 "PRESENT" votes will be the sword that McCain will thrust...deeply.

Hillary is going down... she does represent the smarmy insider WashDC politician.

McCain will have Iran and a big Deceit to deal with...

Obana will have too many open palms waiting to be repaid !!

We are all part of the system of change, but now that this change has reared its head in the direction of a new wind their are those who belive that this change will only fuel our further desire's for a world that imbodies that change. For those who have this fear i tell you this. There is no wall that we wont climb and there is no army that we wont face down .So let the mighty voices of desent be silint and all the hands that stretch through this great nation be joined together to show that change does happen and change will happen. Because we all know from personal experience that just because someone tauts that they have the greatest experince does not mean by any stretch of the imagination that they have our best interest at heart Thank you Michael Stanford PROUD SUPPORTER(AMERICAN IN THE NETHERLANDS!!!!!!) OF OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The plot thickens. It seems that the "Status Quo" is trying to worm its way into the Obama Campaign. Wonder what they want in exchange for this endorsement. Senator Obama better wake up and smell the coffee.

Dear Caroline; Your father was a GREAT PRESIDENT! It's sad that the evil forces of this country took him from all of us too young.Clearly,you see your dad in BARAK. I pray this NATION can see the same. LONG LIVE CAMELOT!!!!!!!!!

Wrong!

Hillary'08!

How can you take seriously a Presidential Candiate that is afraid of his own middle name?

Senator Clinton is the embodiment of ...CHANGE....a woman, whose approach to problems is quite different than the men who have been in power. Viva Mars and Venus!

obama is half white/ half-black, whites should take great pride in his presidency, he was raised almost completely by white folks!

Ted Kennedy is expected to endorse Obama. This shows clearly that the growing division within DNC between the pro Clinton side and John Kerry.

Thank you Caroline Kennedy. I was a high school freshman when JFK ran for President and I remember well the hope for the future that he ignited all over the country. That feeling of hope is back now with Barack Obama. I can't wait to cast my vote for him on Feb 5.

GO OBAMA!!!!

cha-ching thats the sound of me donating more to the obama campaign, no more divisive politics, and besides the republicans dont want hrc back in the white house! they wont work with her and there will be more gridlock! obama is the choice to get things done in washington again for the American people!

January 27, 2008 11:43 am ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.

The exit polls on TV last night showed that 150,000 additional blacks registered to vote in S.C. since the Iowa caucus. To everyone I know, it looks like a big win because of heavy black support.
As far as Caroline Kennedy, she has a right to her opinion. She's far to the left, so I'm not surprised at all by her choice.
Robert F. Kennedy , Jr. has endorsed Hillary Clinton.
To us, Obama is all talk, no action, and we have not been blinded by his "soaring" rhetoric. We believe he won't win the nomination, and we're waiting for Feb. 5 to confirm that.

Caroline Kennedy, who? I was an avid fan of JFK. I knew him better than she (a toddler in the White House then) does now. Obama does not deserve to be compared to JFK. JFK had experience and outstanding performance as a US legislator. Obama has nothing to show about his US Senate performance. To all who knew JFK, the endorsement of Obama is undeserving. Hillary deserved Caroline's endorsement.
HILLARY 2008.

why are you surprised obama took sc? look at the population, that's the only reason they voted for him, not for anything he can do. I'm like some of the others – he keeps saying "change" – but what change is he talking about ? Haven't heard him mention one item. Kennedy wasn't the best of the crop but obama sure doesn't rate up there with him. I would think Ted Kennedy's endorsement would hurt him rather than help him. Look at Ted's record, politically and personally. I would like to see all of you broken down by race, gender, age, location, etc. That would be real interesting.

This year has been a first for me, the first time I've engaged in a campaign, donating money and time. Barack Obama is the catalyst and is our future.

I have spent hours volunteering in SC to do what I could to help ensure that Barack won the state primary. Our volunteers and supporters were very diverse – in age, gender, and ethnicity. We are all excited and proud of our candidate. Join us, help us get Barack Obama where he needs to be . . . where we need for him to be. Get involved!

Thank you Caroline!

Big surprise – Kerry and some of the Kennedys. I guess the liberals are signing in. Too bad they don't represent the rest of the country. I've been a registered Democrat for over 30 years but the party's liberal swing is forcing me to rethink my vote. What does it matter anyway - since the party stripped Florida of its Delegates, they've told me they don't want my vote. And they may not get it.

Great endorsement! To all whiners who complain they aren't getting the details of Obama's plans for change. Quit being so lazy. The level of detail you claim you want will never be featured in a stump speech. We saw in NH what happens when details about....Hillary's audience fled in droves. You can find all the details you need to make an informed decision by just visiting each of the candidates web site. However, this isn't about promises and details of action. It's about movement, change that can only come about when enough people get involved. It started in 04, then 06 and now it will be 08. Slowly we'll take back America.

Let's see who they vote for in the general election when Clinton is their nominee. Obama is a good man, but now is not his time.

Obama didn't know that his many years relationship and millions of dollars dealing with Rezko is another weathy corrupted scumbag??? And he wants to lead the Country??? I don't think soooooooooooo!!!!

Google this "Obama and Rezko" before you open your Obama mouth support again. You never look at the surface and/or take a person at face value, look at Bush!

Who cares who she supports? Or Ted Kennedy. Too bad CNN wasn't around back in the 1960s to drag her father in the mud like you did to Bill Clinton.

For all you haters pretending that Obama is too young or inexperienced to lead the country, i'd like to reming you that Tony Blair became the Prime Minister of the UK at the tender of age of 41... It didn,t prevent him from being one of the best PM the UK has ever had....
It's funny how in these blogs, it's always women defending Hillary as being the most experienced. She's older not more experienced. If age is what matters, let's all go vote for John McCain!?!?

OBAMA 08

I can respect Carolina Kennedy and she is entitled to vote for whomever she pleases. Her endorsement says little, as voters will hopefully start looking at issues and experiance over empty retoric. SC proved only that voters can be swayed by bias and unfair reporting and the real winner is the tabloid reporting of the media. Obama does not represent change, he represents retoric. Its sad, but true. In SC yesterday, we took s step back 40 years when the winner was chosen on the bases of his skin color and not on the content of his character.

It's unbelievable the way this country it's so desperate to change. I think Reagan did that in the 80's and Kennedy in the 60's, now it's the turn for OBAMA, he shouldn't be ashamed of liking president Reagan, inflation, security, cold war, interest rates, peace, all those things we need to appreciate from the Reagan years. Even that I like Reagan and Bush, I believe it's time for new ideas and a fresh good looking face in the white house. I can't wait to see a match up OBAMA – Mc.Cain or OBAMA – Giulianni, Hillary could never be the president of all americans, too many people dislike her. Let's go OBAMA.

All of the Senators now will back Obama, cause they are afraid of any 'racial' basis.

Obama is no John Kennedy or Dr. King. Hillary will still come out on top at the convention!

I was really hoping that Hillary could get the Kennedy endorsement but guess not. I think the Kennedy's usually follow Ted Kennedy's lead but they do tend to be independent at times. The Kennedy's huge dynasty that have been known to split their vote and I think Hillary has Robert Kennedy Jr endorsement hopeful others will come on board.

Thanks
Rodney

Go Hillary

This a very powerful endorsement in terms of maybe uniting the Dems.

Hillary still strong with Latinos – don't count her out or underestimate
Billy C's political acumen.

hmm..well i for one do not agree with Obama..he has no experience..i'm a 20 year old woman and do not believe that someone with no experience will be good for America...my husband is in Iraq and i personally think we need a person with leadership and that will bring these troops home and HE IS NOT the person that can do it...Hillary and Edwards all the way...they would make an amazing White House team...come on America vote for YOU..not for for who Oprah Winfrey is backing....

AMERICANS WOEN ONLY KNOWS HOW TO LIVE EXPENDING THE MONEY OF THEIR PARENTS!...
CAROLINE WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY?

If I might add a post script...I nominate John Edwards in the name of Bobby Kennedy
to carry on his work as ATTORNY GENERAL under president OBAMA

I want divulge my race but I am a 40 yr old male and I have studied and learned of great men in history I admired of various races, religions, and idealalogies, like;
Dale Carnegie, Thurgood Marshall, Ghandi, Martin L. King, Oscar Wilde, Baynard Rustkin, Pres. John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X and many other past and current visionaries for peace and prosperity. Caroline Kennedy's explanation and reasoning for endorsement for Barack Obama gives me a measure of hope and optimism for a better future because it truly articulates why i tto support his nomination for the presidency.

Endorsements mean nothing, except when they are incredibly well-written, inspiring, and dead-on accurate.

Hillary: She'll say anything and change nothing. It's time to turn the page.

I was for the Clintons....but....Obama has become bigger, more important,

I feel a JFK- like idealism, truth, intergrety, honor in Obama. I feel ML King-like
leadership and moral force.

Most of all, I sense history, when in our darkest moment ,after a damaging administration and a misguided leader, we see the light held by one who will guide us back to the true path of the best americ we can be.

Thankyou Thankyou Caroline Kennedy for having the courage to speak up and be counted and lead. Bless you and the memory of your father. I feel he would be most proud of you.

You know...Hillary had her chance with health care reform....she didn't come through....it's time for a change....enough said...and if Obama doesn't come through what else is new? we've had a president in office for 8 years that has sold us all dreams......how bad can Obama be? And if he needs help in office...so what? That's what a president's cabinet is there for....to advise as needed....a change is gonna come....God bless.

Obama needs to stay out of the mud. This next week is going to be very intense. Hillary and Bill are going to continually attempt to bait him into a mud slinging contest. He needs to avoid this at all costs. If he does, the stands a much better chance of making a huge impact on February 5th.

The behavior of President Clinton over the last two weeks has really disappointed me. I am losing respect for a man I once defended (against all logic) during the 1990s. It seems that much of what the Republicans have said about the Clintons was right afterall. I'm very saddened by this.

I am beginning to believe that Obama will indeed be our next President.

Now that Ted Kennedy has decided to 'bestow his blessing' on Baraka Obuma, it makes it even MORE clear that this is NOT the person to be managing the affairs of this nation. I've got to think there were a couple of juicy 'back-room' deals made for this endorsement.

I like Caroline but I agree with a prevous comment that OBAMA being PRESENT and not voting is not enough for me. I need a president that will make a decision and follow thru not one that is just PRESENT and does not vote.
I have been a democat my whole life but I sure wish an independant would get in as not one of the democrats or republicans will be getting my vote.
COME ON BLOOMBERG WHERE ARE YOU.

I THINK ITS A GOOD THING THAT OUR U.S.A. CAN SEE A DIFFIRENT IMAGE OF US AS A RACE, GIVE PEOLE SOMETRHING DIRRIRENT TO SEE OUTSIDE OF THE NEGATIVE STERO TYPE THAT HAS HENDER US FOR YEARS. THAT IS OF US BEING THUGS, ONLY CONCEREBED ABOUT DUMB LOOKING CAR AND DRUGS OR HOES LIVING FOR THE MOMENT. WILL HE WIN I DON'T KNOW BUT HISTORY SURE HAS BEEN MADE THATS FOR SURE, THANKS AMERICA FOR GIVING US AS A RACE OF BLACK PEOPLE A CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!! "GOD BLESS AMERICA AND EVERYONE IN IT"

Im waiting for Dick Cheney to endorse Obama since he is a blood relative.

I am the same age as Caroline Kennedy and I have not EVER voted for a candidate I felt good about. I have always voted for the lesser of 2 evils. I finally feel excited about a candidate, like my mother was about JFK. I could care less what his color is, what his middle name is or what the double teaming nastiness of the Clintons say. I feel hopeful when I hear Barak. I feel that change is possible. I feel that America can once again be great. Thank you CNN for being the ONLY major news outlet to mention this endorsement. To those of you who can't believe it, read Caroline's piece.

Change change change? People are so ignorant and gullible. What change? HOW????? Where is the details? who will pay?? HOW???? Will he get rid of big corporations buying into The Congress? No!!.. so where is the big change? Will he get rid of lobbyists? NO!! .. Obama is no different than the others.. wake up people!!! I can not believe how totally stupid people are to fall for this same crap.

You think that ANY candidate can get ANY universal health care plan through Congress??? NO!! Admit it people, most of you WANT the US to become a socialized country. It is obvious from the endless posting about wanting the government to do everything for you..

Yet another posting for CNN to censor..

Great News Obama is proving he has all the potential
to be a great president like J.F.K. who will unite America. Thank you Caroline
Kennedy your complete article in the New York Times was inspiring.
WE are fired up and ready to GO !
OBAMA'08 !

I heard Hillary speaking at a church in Memphis today. Boy, is she starting to sound like Obama. I'm starting to feel sorry for her. Bill, may have ruined her chances. Poor girl.

THANK YOU CAROLINE!

P.S. The new name for Bill and Hillary is "BILLARY'! Bill Clinton is running for his third term!

OBAMA 08

To CNN Moderator: Wow! Talk about the Bushies cherry-picking pre-war intelligence. you guys beat all for cherry-picking messages to post. So many writers are upset because their messages disappear off the screen if they don't support CNN's positions and views. Where is the decent message I posted last night at 10:32? It was well-written and not inflammatory, but showed a different viewpoint from messages you posted before and since.

I wonder if CNN will even post this message.

In the beggining I was extremly moved by Obama, felt the excitment like no other canadate since JFK and RFK. As the debates on both sides progressed it became very evident to me clearly Hillary was more qulified to lead without a doubt on both sides of the aisle. However there are many in this Country of ours that will not allow themselfs to see past the rove politics and and make a decision based on what is right ,alot of people just love to hate her, that is very sad indeed. But I cannot deny that Obama has once again sparked my intrest and I do believe he can draw the independants and Reagan dems back to the party of the people. I do believe Obama can ditto JFK's platform a consertive democrate who is strong on defense, the gold standard, cutting taxes yes cutting taxes this was not a republican adgenda Reagon stold his entire platform from kennedy and todays dems let them get away with this nonsense . After what this Republican adminstration and Congress did over the past 7 years is unacceptable . I will never support another Republican for a long while if ever. America needs to wake up, educated Republicans fall prey to the hype from fox please do the math, Have tax breakes from corporations and the wealthy really brought new jobs to America , think about it , they have made record profits at our expense, China and India this is the Republican economy short term profits while we become a third world ...fast How can no Republican dissagree with Bush its unbelievable only Ron Paul does but again he has no support from the wise American electorate, does not make sense to me. So I will now Support Obama and I do appreciate Carolines decision. Good luck America we need a Leader of the whole Country and at this point it seems only Obama can do it.

I repeat: such anger, such resentment as this is amazing. Some of you need to reinspect your own values before questioning Obama's or the voters who voted for him.

I am proud that Obama took every county but two in SC, and those two were split between Hilary and Edwards. I am white and voted for him. Race is only being brought into this by the weak.

About experience: since 1789 fewer than 50 people...men..have gotten the actual Presidential experience. Less than 50 in over 200 years. And some of those have done very little. Some of those have been corrupt. Some only figureheads.

I for one am tired of "experience." Maybe someone with an open mind, common sense, and a healing way will be better. Maybe if we start by making this country better on the inside, the world outside can be managed better.

Who cares, what celebrities endorse which candidate, we all know the media will pick the next candidate. Since most americans appear to be unable or unwilling to think for themselves, they will vote for who they are told to vote for. In 2000 the media thought it was refreshing the a candidate did not know (or seem to care) who were the leaders or other countries. W gave answers like "Geneeral" and the press accepted it. The fact that he mispornounced much of the english language was also accepted (that he was making up new words). The media is culpable in the election of George W. Bush. They crowned him Prince during the campaign and after election he made elevated himself to KING. Again never being challenge by the media. Even when he told the rest of the world "we will go on our own and if you are not with us, you are against us". I cannot immagine many politicians getting away with this but it was unamerican to question our Commander in Chief. Now the media is preparing the crown and royal robes for Prince Obama. We have suffered through eight years of an unqualifed man sitting in the oval office (or Crawford or Camp David etc.). We cannot afford another four years of on the job training. Can you picture Obama on the same stage asa the other leaders of the world. I think he would be the opposite of the "go it alone" presidency of Bush and be instead be a weak "go along to get alond" type of non-leader. He constantly claims he was opposed to the war in Iraq, but since becomming a US Senator he has supported just about every Bush request for the WAR. We need the right kind of strength to dig ourselves out of the hole that Bush has put us in.
bosher

Thank you, Caroline! I, too, am inspired by Obama, more so that any politician in my lifetime. Although I would love to see a woman in the White House, the Clintons' behavior in South Carolina turned my stomach. I don't know if I could vote for her even if she were the Democratic nominee (depending, of course, on the Republican. There may only be one I could support.). If Clinton is elected, we will continue on Year 17 of Divisive Politics. Barack was so right last night when he said that a politician should be able to mention that someone from another party "had an idea."

Oh Obama the future of American. Go Obama Go.

Sound like this is a begining of the end of United states? Obama is so unexperience. People in US, please look at his work in senate and with his clean bribery work getting $300k cheaper mansion from the market price. I doubt he can bring change for us, but for sure will bring change for him. He will just like others politician,

I hope cnn report on b.clinton's comments on Jesse Jackson winning S.C. I will vote for Obama, both in the primary and in general if he's the nominee. I am a democrat. I will not vote for Billary. I had clinton fatigue in 1992.
Thanks C. Kennedy, and way to go Sen Ted Kennedy, you have made the right choice endorsing Sen. Obama. This is big considering how long you have known the clintons.
Since Sen. Obama won over 80% of the black vote in S.C., maybe all those black caucus people who have been pushing Billary down our throats will see just how much power they really have with the black community. I think the have lost a lot of respect in their community.

Caroline couldn't be more wrong! I respect her right to an opinion, but she is wrong. I had the honor to live first hand what her father stood for. He was genuine and He was real. The same is not true of her endorsement which is sad. Listen to the candidates, not the endorsements! That is why it is YOUR vote and no one else's!

Barack Obama FELL FROM WHITE LOINS! . . . . All the bigots who would ignore that fact are presuming that Barack Obama is ever going to disavow his white side, even as he acknowledges his Black side.

. . . Ignorant minds filled with ill will foolishly believe that they can pigeon hole such a highly intelligent and highly educated American. lol . .

Barack IS BOTH Black & White! And any childish attempt to define him differently isn't going to phase the next President of the USA, Barack Obama!

Wow, this got more coverage that Robert Kennedy's endorsement of Hillary. Shame on you, again, CNN.

We need "CHANGE".
Don't need you, KENNEDIES!!!!!!!!!
Go away.
Go OPRAH!!!!!

One of the biggest problems we have is politicans obsessed with partisanship; the inability of government to get anything done because all effort is focused on fighting anything that the other party proposes or tries to accomplish. Yet, Hillary Clinton promises more of the same – despite what her husband has stated lately. She herself goes on and on about "fighting the Republicans". Just what we need – more partisanship in government ! For all our sakes, I hope that the Republicans nominate Sen.McCain and the Democrats nominate Sen.Obama. That way, whoever wins in November, at least Americans will have a President who puts the nation ahead of the party, and will reach across the aisles to get things done.
Congratulations to Senator Obama ! Well done South Carolina !

Fascinating how so many people who never met President Kennedy have a "better" handle on how he was than his own daughter....Yes, she was young when he died, but she grew up with his legacy in an intimate way. Don't you think maybe she still knows him better than some random who saw him on TV?

CNN's bias against Hillary is so blatant, so cheap, so unprofessional it's disgusting!

Your "Best Political Panel on TV' repeating the same old, same old anti-Clinton views – and the obvious Glee (that CNN's population conditioning is working) they expressed when Hillary lost SC, has sickened me.

I used to admire CNN's professionalism – and ethical reporting. Now that it's a FOX
clone.. you've lost this viewer and this consumer of any goods advertised on CNN and Time.

I know you won't post this, but do suggest you heed the message, because soon many of you will be looking for jobs due to your ratings plummeting into the toilet.

The public may be naive but sooner or later they get it.

Ted Kennedy will also endorse Obama...

I'm disappointed in all of you. You are angry with Caroline for endorsing who she thinks is best? That's just wrong. And all the people who say her opinion won't matter tend to support Hillary. Surprised?

Ok, the big win is done. Wow. But now the reality. Let's start finding out what Obama really plans to do. Clinton has come forth with several plans for the economy, and health care. Obama has been vague so far. We need to get around the rhetoric and oratory. Get with his message, whatever that is. Right now, for me he may be a good showman, but he is no JFK. I was around back then. This is not the same thing. Kennedy had plans and ideas, not just feel good politics.

Im sorry Caoline,ther will never be another John F. Kennedy ,he had brains,he didnt try to be the police chief of the world but of his own country.Thats what we need not just another cool prseident.

I wholeheartedly agree with Charles Robinson (see above). I am a Black African of Kenyan descent and I am very proud of Barack Obama…but I am also aware that his education, worldview and persona is heavily influenced by the "white" side of his family. The only thing his father contributed (albeit not to me dismissed) is his share of the chromosomes that makes up his genetic composition. Thus I cringe (to the point on wondering if the American people are being at all sincere) when I hear /read all this reference about him being "black". I feel if anything the reference "African-American" was coined specifically for people like Barack who embodies the hopes and aspiration of black and whites alike. If I had a vote I will vote for him on the strength of that alone.

Charles Robinson from Ohio, you are right in what you said about Obama he stood between the whites and the blacks and therefore urge all whites not to brand him as blacks because we whites deserve good people like Obama. I total agree with you.

Obama's victory speech was not inspirational......He is not the right person to help this country....his speeches have no content...they just sound good to people who don't care about how to actually fix the things that are going wrong in this country....he just sounds good with nothing in his accomplishments to back it up...no way...not now....this country doesn't need someone who sounds good giving a speech...it really needs someone who can actually fix them with experience...................

The people who vote and are supporting Obamma remind me of the radical movement years . Democrats will never get back to the Whitehouse until they quit supporting someone who can never win a general elction. Voters (

It's not right for people to vote for a president just because they like their personality. I don't care if Kennedy endorses him, because I would never vote for him in my lifetime. He is all talk. Edwards cares about the people who have never had their voice heard. Edwards cares about the people, and wants to see America become better economically. He cared about the hurricane victims, and if I was in a disaster, I would want a president who cared about us. JOHN EDWARDS IS ALL FOR THE PEOPLE.

What is this 35 years of "experience" that Hillary touts? She slept with the man who was governor for 10 years and president for 8, but you don't gain experience by osmosis. 35 years ago (1973), she was in law school. A couple years later she married Bill whose political career took off soon after.

I'm sure she talked with Bill about his decisions and even influenced many of them, but she held no OFFICIAL title during his presidency and did not even have a security clearance. So any foreign policy experience she talks about is Bill's, not hers. She wasn't even allowed by law to see the president's daily security briefings, so she couldn't have known everything. I don't disagree that she is a good politician, but her saying she has 35 years of experience is a LIE!!!!

I am a 55 year old white woman who will also leave my republican party's candidate to vote for Obama. His vision for unity works for me. We all know that Hillary cannot deliver that. I will vote for whomever the Republican candidate is if she is the Dem. It's time to move forward not look backwards. For all that people say that Obama doesn't have the experience, I disagree. He doesn't have a lot of experience as a politician but he has plenty as a leader and that's what we need now, a leader who can unite America. I look for Obama to do to the republican party what Reagan did to the dems. If billary runs again, look for a country that is even more divided than it is right now. Our hope for a united America is resting on this man's shoulders and I believe he can deliver it. Go-O!

Yes we can!

Thank you very much, Caroline.

It's my understanding (from some sources) that U.S Sen. Ted Kennedy will soon be endorsing Sen. Obama too. That clearly would be a huge endorsement.
John
Liverppol, NY

I am an enthusiastic supporter of Senator Obama and therefore, ... glad for his win in South Carolina yesterday, ... and especially pleased to see Caroline Kennedy endorse him!

I truly believe he is not only the best Democrat, but the best of all candidates, based on his Leadership skills and Spirit of Hope (and it gets me excited!!!)

Another note: Up until about a week ago, I was always telling people if Obama didn't get the nomination, I would support Clinton. But after I witnessed her mean-spirited and disingenuous campaign lately, I am so upset with her (and former President Bill Clinton), ... that not only will I not support her, but I will actively campaign against her! I think Obama said it best last night, ... "let's not return to the past, let's march on toward the future"

Let's get excited about America again, ...
Let's give Hope and True Change a Chance!
Go Obama Go!

Robert F Kennedy Junior has endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Obama is no JFK.
I vote Hillary because against all of this negativity she still stands.
Hillary 2008!

Oh yes CNN will let you blog this, but not about Cheney's daughter support for Romney, just the typical lib loving losers that they are.

I am a 16-year old, white male, from Vermont. I was raised in a family that is quite indifferent to politics in general. But I still vividly remember the 2004 Democratic National Convention, when I saw Barack Obama speak for the first time, and knew that it was the start of something big.

Entrenched interests and divisive politics need to come to a close in Washington. We've seen how the candidates act when they're down. One responds by enforcing his message, never wavering from the promises he made the day he announced his run for office. The other ignores and distorts, lies and cries, and divides a Democratic electorate that desperately needs to stand together if they want any chance of winning come November.

For the sake of people like me who can't vote, please elect Barack Obama.

Thank- you Caroline Kennedy for your endorsedment Barack Obama you recognize the values that your father had is the same that Barack Obama have in his heart. People who are not understanding why your endorsedment was for Barack Obama is because they don't want change. Change is hard. I watched the Clintons's Campaign and I was taken back of the Negative gross in how they went about running thier Campaign and I was wondering what would it be like in the White House with the Clintons.

It is time for the country to recognize that people in the south have the ability to make rational, intelligent decisions when voting for political candidates. Mr. Obama believes in the progression of "our" nation with a vision of a trully united country. I believe the "American dream" is about more than a home or piece of property. It is a unified vison of people persuing happiness unrestricted by bias...

Obama! 08

Barack Obama brings hope to millions of Americans who are disenchanted with the politics of yester-year. A chance to believe in the America that once was. Obama is truely simply amazing. Way do to Caroline!

Any of the three would be light-years better than Bu$h.

Obama is going to win it. Maybe Edwards as VP.

I'm over the Clintons at this point.

As for Obama voting "present," I'd love to see someone "present" at the helm of this listing ship of state... Bush has been AWOL since Vietnam.

I like Obama but he is too inexperience to get our country out of Bush's mess. Please, let's not get carried away with emotions. Obama will be ready to lead in a few years. Come on America, black, white or brown, Please! we need to get it right this time around or we may never regain what we've lost during Bushe's time not to think of leading the world. We cannot effort not to put our country ahead of all our differences.please. Our country need each of us to think through and save her.
Thank you

Caroline Kennedy's endorsement of Obama for president means that I will now have to vote for Obama – as an Independent, leaning Democrat, I find that somehow very disturbing.

The Political Affirmative Action Candidate, Mr. Obama, remains an empty suit that grabs the microphone, gazes up at the clouds, speaks to the clouds in paragraphs or books, and is never seriously questioned or made to answer about anything. It's all hope, change, hope, change, hope, change...

I HOPE that this situation will CHANGE, and the people, certainly the press, which has already anointed him, will begin to ask some SERIOUS QUESTIONS for a CHANGE!

Re: S.C. with 80% of the black vote for Obama... certainly no racial bias there.?Additionally, there are perhaps 2 or 3 other states, in the South that are very similar to S.C.; that would be Georgia, Alabama and perhaps Mississippi.

I find it very troubling that anyone can get 80% of the S.C. vote and we still have people saying, "I'm glad that America has rejected race as an issue in the election process."

Think about this: The blacks came home for OJ and the blacks are certainly comin' home for Obama...

Robert Kennedy has been in the trenches for many years fighting for our country. The only reason CK has made news is because she has made the wrong choice for all Americans. Read Maya Angelou's recent poem. You will become enlightened.

Caroline Kennedy only works on projects for her family's name. Who cares????????/

We need change: Yes we the people do need change for the better! JFK stepped up to the plate during the Cuban Crisis lets step back and think what would the democrates of this day and age have done? Be true to yourself your way of life depends on this decision more than most even know.

I said before the Iowa victory that Obama was setting the agenda, His desire for change, his distancing from the Washington status quo. His vision for the future, all the candidates are now bound to these themes. He has fired up the Democratic base and the youth of America it is almost entirely down to him and the Negative effect of the Bush administration that has most importantly lifted the Democratic vote to twice that of the Republican. More Carolina voters voted for him as an individual candidate than the total Republican vote.

Senator Obama is quite clearly THE inspirational candidate and the Cintons the destructive force.

Obama for President. He will not be the First Black President, Democratic President, Independant President or Republican President. He will be the first AMERICAN president since JFK.

Obama 08

This country needs hope again. Obama gives this to us. We have been cheated and forgotten about for a very long time. I can't believe anyone would want Hillary in the White House. Think about it. We had Bush one and 2 and look where it got us. No do we need Clinton 1 and 2? Good Grief No! We need someone new who will think about this country and people and not the same old crap over again. so who ever you vote for think hard and long everyone. Remember Bill Clinton signed Nafta and started our people losing jobs. Bush pushed for power to the rich and I think it is time us the litte guys to push back.

When the whole nation agreed to send troops to Iraq, there were only a few who did not agreed . Obama was one of them. The others, including Hillary, I called them opportunities!
Take a look of the map of the world, one will realized that since 1949, Isreal was surrounded by Arabs with large land with oil. It does not take imagination for any one to know that Isreal is to invade these areas In the name called " The survival of Isreal" , Israel kept on expanding, with the supply of jets, tanks from the U.S.A.
If you were the Muslims people who lived in that part of the world, Would you put up a fight or let the foreigners took over ( in the case of Hong Kong and India 150 years ago?) So look, we live in a different world now. it is a coincidence that Hillary mentioned recently that " We have to give up the cowboy mentality now!" Or the enemy will smell the sincerity from across the ocean. dancewu(dot)net

Heather why don't you go on Obama's website and read and learn. He's getting stronger as the day getting closer. Billary have made him stronger and hope that the country can heal without division.

I'm leaving the Democratic Party if this good talker looks like he is going to win.

I can't wait to have a President who I can be PROUD of!!!!

Obama 08!!!!

It's one woman's perspective. Take it for what it's worth and MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION.

Attack who you want, but leave Mrs. Kennedy alone. She's endorsing a candidate that is most similar to her father who had a great vision for this nation. Its not a matter of showcasing, its a matter of seeing a vision fulfilled. So leave Caroline alone, because there is nothing wrong with looking forward!

And other than Caroline Kennedy and those who still worship the Kennedy Camelot Myth, who really cares what she thinks? I think Obama is a decent person as politicians go. But I could care less what a Kennedy thinks about anything.

It is funny Caroline talk about Obama being the future, yet compare him to someone from the past.

I am voting for Obama, we need change in this country, and be respected around the world again. Shame on those who don't want change. It was a sweet win in SC – they have shown the media, the world that we as an American can come together. Thank you Caroline we love you.

Alright Obama! 08

Yes, how refreshing it will be for President Barack Obama to actually listen and consider the points of view of other people and countries. Maybe even from someone outside his own party. Thats change over the unilateral governing style of the GOP Bush Administration.

im a white male in my 50s and im a republican. but for the first time in my life im willing to vote for someone outside my party im goingto vote for " obama" and i thank you so much Caroline Kennedy for endorsin this amazing poitician who inspired me and millions across the nation i hope he will get the nominee and go all the way to the whit house.... GO OBAMA

Obama is not JFK, and even if he were, America of today is not America of the JFK's time. Peaple should look at who of the current candidates is ready to respond to current state of affairs in the US. That person, I believe, is Hillary Clinton

CNN you did not print my comments for the public to see, but is OK.

Caroline who? Who cares. Is she a political heavy weight? Does she hold elected office. She is an ordinary citizen and I find it hard to believe her endorsement got press mention. She needs to go back to the family compound and serve up some more drinks (hopefully she will have a designated driver so the family doesn't get more bad press) Please give us some real news!

IS THIS FREEDOM OF EXPRESION ?
THE MODERATOR
DOESN'T ALOUD TO EXPRESS MY DEMOCRATICS COMMENTS?

Out of 4,000 votes you people want to make a issue out of 130. Well, there is only one vote that has presuaded me not to ever vote for the Clintons. That was the one Senator Clinton made to send this nation into war without even taking the time to read the intell briefings. It was pure political because at the time it would make her look Presidential. Now thats a Fairy Tail.

It will have no impact on the Hillary win outcome!

CAROLINE WHERE ARE YOU EVERY NOVEMBER 22?
I KNOW WHERE I'M EVERY YEAR
GIVING A PRAY FOR MY IDOL J.F.K.

caroline you have the fame and money why you never become a candidate for president?

Thank you Caroline! Thank you South Carolina! Your turn out and vote for change is an inspiration to the rest of the country.

woman adore to be against woman in this our country?
very soon the world will call us didived states of america..?

As an Independent, I have been waiting to make up my mind on the person I want to see run our Great Country. I have not just one , but two that I think could win big over Hillary... that being OBAMA for President and EDWARDS for VP. I think with the moral values and ideas of change, they could not loose.
Thanks to both Oprah and Caroline!! !!! YOU ALL ROCK!!!

Caoline Kennedy plays her cards close to the vest, but NOT without a hidden Agenda.

Way to go Caroline Kennedy.! I was 5 when President Kennedy was elected but I remember the feelings of "yes we can" that he inspired in the country. I believe that if we wish to get this country moving forward and reinstate that "yes we can" attitude then we need Obama not the tired out Clinton dirty tricks.

Kennedy turned his back on the 1500 Cuba fighters he sent into the Bay of Pigs. His legacy is giving Castro a fairtale life off the backs of the Cuba people. JFK is certainly not someone I would want to be compared to..

Obama repeats "CHANGE" again and again.
Now, He got support from Caroline KENNEDY.
Is it good for him? KENNEDY is about 60's.
I have no problems about 60's or KENNEDIES.
But what "CHANGE" really mean?
"CHANGE" means back to 60'S?????????
Or "CHANGE" doesn't mean "CHANGE" at all?
There are two kinds of "CHANGE"
GOOD and BAD.
So, I pick OPRAH over OBAMA.

It's really a sad story that the only reason why Obama won so clearly, was his "race and change" campain. Nowadays, it seems to be enough to shout "CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE" and not even explaining how his change would look like.

I'm really asking myself what does Obama stand for except wanting """change""" and being partly Afro American???

SENATOR Clinton has more experience behind her than 8 years as a first lady. The experience with her husband in the White House would enable her to hit the ground running, knowing what needs to be in place to start making things happen. Her experience as a senator, a woman, a mother, a champion for the health, safety and education of children...that's why I want the opportunity to cast my vote in November for Hillary Clinton.

Caroline Kennedy certainly understands the Kennedy legacy. Her endorsement of Barack Obama is undeniably informed and informative. Thank you Caroline!

Yes We Can ! Obama 08

BRAVO CAROLINE KENNEDY. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A CHANGE. A CHANGE FOR A DYNAMIC FUTURE FOR OLD AND YOUNG AMERICANS. WE DON'T NEED A CLONED PRESIDENT LIKE GEORGE BUSH.
A REPUBLICAN FROM FRORIDA.

I agree with Ben's comments. What changes will Obama make if elected? Be specific, Obama. The press has continued to treat Obama with kid gloves throughout this campaign. I am a Democrat, but if Obama wins the nomination, I'm voting for McCain. Obama is not ready to be the Leader of the Free World. His time may come, but it isn't now.

I think the best bet at this hour is Al Gore, he should be compelled to get into the race otherwise he will regret his indecision if the republican get the next President.
Come on Mr. Gore, there has never been a great opportunity like this moment.
Come on America, Call Mr. Gore to enter.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson won in SC too. Caroline Kennedy's endorsement is nice ... but Robert Kennedy, Jr. endorsed Hillary ... so they each have a Kennedy endorsement. Let's see who gets the next one!

I hope Carolyn Kennedy is able to call upon her father's spirit to help Obama when the first attack on our soil happens and Obama has no clue how to protect us. We need experience and guts, not the charm of JFK in this dangerous world.

Thank You Caroline! Obama reminds me of JFK also. What a lot of people are not understanding is that we ALL have to change-not just our government. Obama is the inspiration, the shot in the arm which will energize apathetic, beaten-down Americans.
I received one of those scary messages about Obama being Muslim-it was funny but kind of creepy to know how low people will stoop to keep a "black" man from the presidency.

The choice for Caroline as it is for me is obvious. Obama calls Americans to its highest ideals and has what it takes to inspire us to be more and to do more.

If you like having a divided country, where half the country or better hates our president, like the politics of division and pragmatism, if you like Bill's new role as Hatchet man/spin doctor vote for Hillary. If you are ready for a president America can be proud of at home and around the world vote Obama in 2008.

YES WE CAN!
Obama '08

Hey Jodie Linville,
If you're a "Hilary" supporter, you should learn how to spell her name!!!

Obama in '08

I hope Obama understandsthat the futureof his race hinges on his winning against a very committed GOP. A loss in a general election would make it virtually impossible for another black man or woman to attempt to run again. This also goes for Hillary as well. And for women of all races.

A CHANGE IN HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING! I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: BILL AND HILLARY SHOULD STEP ASIDE AND LET THIS COUNTRY BE THE BEST THAT IT CAN BE. BY THE WAY CHARLES ROBINSON, HE IS OF THE RACE OF HIS FATHER AND IT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED IN A COUNTRY THAT HAS STRUGGLED WITH RACE RELATIONS FAR TOO LONG. AFTER ALL, UNITY CONSIST OF ALL RACES ,CREED, AND COLORS.

It is a positive endorsement, we should be aware that in the end the electoral college will make the call. Who ever comes into office is going to have a big mess to to deal with.

WOULD COLIN POWELL BE INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF CHANGE AND BECOME PART OF THE OBAMA CABINET?

Caroline took the words right out of my mouth! I, too, have been so inspired by Barack Obama. My gut feeling is he will bring the change we need in this country the way JFK did. Thank you, Caroline!

HE HE HE. The kid was six years old when her died. Comparing Obama with her Father is a "Fairy Tale"

Caroline took the words right out of my mouth! I, too, have been so inspired by Barack Obama. My gut feeling is he will bring the change we need in this country the way JFK did. Thank you, Caroline!

Obama reminds me of jfk...orator and brillant ideas. Thank you Caroline Kennedy.

Caroline..any chance you would be interested in Hillary's seat in the Senate..we are hoping it will be vacant soon and Mrs. Clinton will retire to Arkansas where she belongs.

This country is run by big money anyway. It is not surprising that the Kennedys are endorsing a YES man so they can control him.

Senator Obama supports senate bill 1959. If you are not familiar with this bill, please read it. If this man gets elected and you happen to disagree with his administration you may want to pack your bags and move out of this country while the gettins good.

Not one article on the front of CNN's web page on Republicans. What a biased news service!

This is a great victory for Obama!!!! I think Bill Clinton did a great job when he was in the White House but this race for presidency has nothing really to do with him this is Hillary's fight, his involvement should be miminal, but it isn't anymore. He brought 'RACE' into this campaign which I thought was not an issue. Bill is hurting Hillary or do they have a two-fold thing going on here? Which is to try and destroy Obama on any level possible? We should take a deeper look @ the Clinton's motivates?

Caroline Kennedy has always been a very reserved person, rarely making any political stand. With her endorsing Obama it says so much. I don't think it will necessarily change people's minds, but it does go to show that many see Obama as the inspiration that he is. He can take us in a new direction and not stay with the status quo. Thank you Caroline for your good judgment and willingness to share your thoughts with our nation. We need those who care and are willing to make changes that are needed.

I am so pleased about this. Caroline is such a bright light and has a brilliant mind .Caroline has her Uncle Bobby's dedication to justice and equal rights.
I am thrilled !!Obama is a fine and good man. I pray he goes on to win this race for the American clock is ticking and good men like Obama are becoming harder and harder to find. God Speed Barack.

GO OBAMA~!!!

Hurray – this needs more attention. Why no talk on the news? I watch CNN constantly and never heard of this endorsement.

What do we hear? Constant chatter about Barack being black. As a white man I am deeply offended by the time the media is giving this subject. WHO CARES? Why is the news media making this such an issue. The news media should be ashamed. As if it makes one ounce of difference whether Barack is Black, Asian or any other race. The point is he is brilliant and a much needed breath of fresh air in the disgusting US political system.

GO BARACK!!

I have posted a similar message that Mr. Charles ROBINSON just wrote. I live in Germany and I am black and married with a white and we both have kids. Between us there are no racial issues. I am deeply appalled at this deep rooted racial sickness that makes people to misunderstand or misuse a simple knowledge, that children of Black and White or White and Black cannot simply be White or BLACK, as it is in most cases. It is an intentional misinterpretation based on racial biases. It is the same reason why many people are afraid to embrace changes. I am not an American. I am an African. I have never paid so much attention to the Elections in the US as I am doing today. In the past, I have never been comfortable with the likes of Rev. Jesse Jacksons. They may be fighting for the good of the Blacks, but I tend to lean towards the likes of Martin Luther King’s, Gandhi’s etc, who preferred more intellectual. And less violence means.
It is better to correct this aberration now, rather than later. Or else, that would be seen as a real hypocrisy if by chance or purpose Barrack becomes the President of America and someone say: wait a minute, this guy is not black after all, and he has a WHITE Mother! Just embrace the fact. He is an American, period.
I am not recommending any particular candidate for the Americans. But as an outsider knowing a bit about how the USA is been viewed, a change would be good for home and abroad.

I am so pleased about this. Caroline is such a bright light and has a brilliant mind .Caroline has her Uncle Bobby's dedication to justice and equal rights.
I am thrilled !!Obama is a fine and good man. I pray he goes on to win this race for the American clock is ticking and good men like Omama are becoming harder and harder to find. God Speed Barack.

I am so glad for what Is going on. Barack Obama is the right person to change the USA. This has nothing to do with race, experience. I deeply think that every generation must support this issue and that's a great change.

With her support, the United States of America will probably delay the influence from the Jews four more years. And the American soldiers will not fight the wars for the Jews in the mid east any more! dancewu(dot)net

It is not critical to any candidate what famous politician or individual gives them their support. It is important that individuals [voters] let their preferences be known by going out and voting for the person of their choice. It is our choice individually, but the nations choice collectively. No disrespect to Caroline Kennedy is intended I was a great believer in not only her father but her entire family and the causes they stood for.

If Hillary had won in South Carolina, and she tried like hell to do so, both her and her husband, "The First Black President" would have being crowing about it, and so would you.

They tried to win it, and Senator Obama just wiped the floor with both Hillary and Bimbo Bill.

Senator Obama more than doubled the vote count for Hillary, so she should now withdraw and throw her support behind Senator Obama, for the sake of party unity.

When you get slaughtered in a Democratic contest, how the hell can you still pretend that you can beat a Republican!

Time for Hillary to do the right thing, and withdraw. We need a new leader, not the same old warmed over Clinton pretzel morality.

I would like welcome South Carolina back into the Union. Love Caroline. Love Obama. Three cheers for U.S.A.

Barack Obama offers promise of better lives for all Americans, but also has an experience and heritage that provides a worldview that will be important to American and International politics. I appreciate his intellect and character, and know that he will be an excellent president. I cannot wait to celebrate his election and look forward to his Inauguration next year!

You leave us hanging high and dry with this story. So what? Rambo endorsing John is at least contemporary and exciting. Rambo and Chuck Norris facing down each other is an exciting possibility. With a woman running for President, isn't the real story here why does she do this? Get that story and you will have a story.

obama the presindent, clintons goodbye for ever and ever!

Good news for John McCain:We've NEVER voted for a republican before in our entire lives but if this con artist Obama is the democratic candidate we'll certainly be voting republican,war or no war.Obama is a phony and a fraud and will spell disaster for our country.Goodby democrats,hello republicans!

Her courage made me to have tears in my eyes! dancewu(dot)net

My thanks to Caroline!

Hillary and Bill Clinton are underhanded, sleazy, and will do anything to win and I mean ANYTHING! They are the George Bush/Karl Rove of politics. I have had enough of all four of them.

John McCain will be the same as reelecting George Bush. God knows the country has had enough of Bush and his I am God attitude!!!

I want a president who will reunite this country, we have had enough of republican devisiveness and stupidity. Yes that means you bible thumpers too.

BARACK win it all and throw the bums out.

How is Caroline Kennedy's opinion newsworthy? How is her opinion or preference worth more than anybody else's?

Thank you, Caroline. Obama, like JFK, appeals to best of all of us in the US. Clinton ignores the power of the people. Obama will bring hope to every street in America. He will inspire the young people in a country that was quickly becoming disallusioned. I think Clinton is smart, but she is not the person that America needs right now. Obama is, and I am so proud to be able to vote for such an amazing candidate.

Big money control this country anyway. It is not surprising that they would indorse a yes man so they can control him. Obama thinks that Senate bill 1959 is what this country needs right now. So if you disagree with his administration you may want to pack your bag and move now while the gettins good. If you vote for him you might as well kiss the constitution, 5th amendment, your freedom goodbye.

JFK was the last President I really felt good about. Obama is no JFK. He has been successfully marginalized by the criminal Clintons as the black candidate, and cannot win the general. If you ask what you can do for your country, you can support and vote for an electable Democrat, not Obama (or Hillary)

Somehow am convinced obama may do something in this election i underestimated him a lot i think its the huge victory.I pray that hillary wins because i want her to be defeated heavily by McCain.but if its Obama i think it will be close election

Ted Kennedy's endorsement is still missing.

It doesn't take Shakespearean hubris to discount the opinion of a poster who writes of the Clintons: "They have Shakespearian "Humbris."

With Obama the dream that began 48 years ago with JFK and RFK is renewed.

OBAMA- Great Orator, Says All The Right Words to Stir The People. Beyond that, what??? Sorry, I'll take experience any day to run this country, not a bunch of pretty words all wrapped up in a preacher's cadence.

I, too, feel that Sen. Obama will inspire Americans, so that we can unite as a strong country once again. Together, we can make changes that will restore America. Sen. Clinton is too divisive and will tear this nation apart. Americans are intelligent and good people, and they know and want what is best for their country. That is why we have to support Sen. Obama.

The smartest – by far – of the entire Kennedy clan.

Hillary's exprerience at '90. OMG!!! that imbalanced dot com and stock boom! that's the worst time in US economy....clinton made the economy a big baloon... it is about to popo up now becuase of that. people cannot maintain the same lifestyle by making a lot more than what they were making 15 years ago...this is not what is called sustainable development....We DONOt WANT THIS SORTS of ECONOMY....We need strong anti-immigration candidate, which is what I still am looking for...The illeterate hispanics are given too much power and have now become a deciding factor in the presidential/senate runs..

TODAY THERE IS AN ARTICLE TITLED "MARGINALIZING OBAMA"

TWO QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE:

"HOWEVER, IT WAS OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN THAT CHOSE TO CHARACTIZE THIS AS A RACE BASE ATTACK"

"BUT BIGGEST OFFENDER, FAR MORE THAN CLINTON OR OBAMA CAMPAIGNS, HAS BEEN THE MEDIA ITSELF"

SHAME ON CNN/OBAMA NETWORK

The exit polls showed that 150,000 additional blacks registered to vote in S.C. since the Iowa caucus. It looks like a big win because of heavy black support to all of the people I know. As far as Caroline, she has a right to her opinion. She's far to the left, so I'm not surprised at all by her choice.
Obama is all talk, no action, and I have not been blinded by his "soaring" rhetoric. He won't win the nomination, as we'll see on Feb. 5.

I think this campaign has been a tremendous wake up call to the Democratic party. Now that Bill-ary is running again for the White House, and has serious competition for the Democratic nomination, the Democratic party gets to see their full fledged Dirty Political Trickery Bible in action...only this time it's against a fellow Democrat, and a better candidate at that. The funny thing is no one would mind this kind of attack dog politics against the Republican nominee, but now that it's aimed at a Democrat we get to see and understand it for what it truly is... the OLD guard way of running a smear campaign, and the country is fed up with it. The Republicans have Karl Rove and the Democrats have the Clintons... thankfully enough we have OBAMA to rise above the slash and burn, waving a banner of HOPE and CHANGE that actually means something other than the Status Quo divisive politics that the Clintons know so much about...

OBAMA 08

I wonder if the only reason Al Gore has not endorsed Obama is fear of the Clintons.

This is one endorsement the Clintons would have loved to get. This endorsement speaks volume - especially because it did not go to the Clintons. I am not old enough to have known JFK, but if the one person who must admire him the most tells me Obama reminds her of her father - for patriotic, political, and personal reasons - then Obama must really be something. Her endorsement speaks volumes and should get people to at least take a second look at Obama.

I would not vote for Hillary Clinton if she was the only Democrat running for President. She and Bill need to leave town! Obama may not be everything and have all the experience but we do need someone to get us past the war and back to taking care of the domestic issues here in America.

Barack Obama is a man of Destiny! He appears on this country at just the right time to help us take our country back from IDEALOGUES and LOBBYISTS! Caroline Kennedy and the young people of this country are right in endorsing him! Hilary and Bill Clinton have already served 8 years in the White House! It is time to move on and out of Washinton for both of them !

Would anyone here know her father better than Caroline. If she said someone remind her of her father, we should respect that. All of you clintonian should come with something better.

GO OBAMA 08
RED to BLUE -Texas

Thank you Iowa & SC!

lies don't win you a primary, and yes, this does make a difference

go obama!

Caroline, Obama is unlike your father. JFK was a hero and a far superior intellect than Obama. It's sad that you too have been taken by his flowery speeches. He has the command only of his words with no fresh ideas or concrete solutions to the needs of this country and the many problems abroad that we face today. All he talks about are empty rhetorics of change and hope. We want the most qualified person that would turn this country around and tackle all the many issues, economy, Iraq, Iran, health care, jobs, etc. Experience does matter.
The Oval Office is no training ground for amateurs. We need Hillary in the WH who will bring these necessary changes. Go Hillary '08.

I am an independent who normally would vote red. This year I notice something new, some electrifying, exciting about the race for the presidency. I am voting for Obama because I believe we need a leader who can unify the country. My decision to vote for Mr. Obama came after he stated that he will consider talking to some of our enemies. At that time Clinton called him irresponsible, yet two weeks later she took the same position. We need someone who can take a stand the first time right or wrong.

GO OBAMA 08
RED to BLUE -Texas

Thank you Iowa & SC!

Beautifully said! Thank you for having the courage to endorse a truly great candidate.

I recently changed my voter registration from independant to democrat just to have the opportunity and honor to cast my vote for Sen. Obama in the Delaware primary. For the first time since '76 (the first election I was old enough to vote in) I will be voting FOR a candidate and not against another.

Opportunity is knocking loudly for the Democratic Party to field a Presidential candidate who is gifted with a high level of intelligence and management skill, can mobilize people from all walks of life toward a common goal, has practical ideas and is truthful and decent.

Find the courage to vote the future. The future = Obama

Go Hillary? Yup just go ... anywhere but here ... Maybe Canada needs you?

its very interesting to watch the candidates run for presidency from abroad – like me as a bavarian from germany. It is too much to do in future so dont hesitate to change from republicans to democrats – never mind the race or gender – put them both together to lead not only but for first the US second the world – and i hope you all vote gentlemanlike – the first eight years ahead form now for the lady and the next 8 years for obama – thats the best – for all over the globe.
It isnt that hard to get ruled by women – pick at your nose and look at your own home ) – and some of the best team players in nba are not of caucasian race.

What Victory, GOD knows his people and he will prevail. Hope all that work to suppot you may be blessed and led by the holy spirt.
Sincerly Obama a true believer of new change for our future leader. Obama, Obama he's our man if he can't do it no one can. GOD BLESS

HERE IN ENGLAND WE ARE AS INSPIRED BY OBAMA'S VISION AS ALL OF YOU PROUD AMERICANS. IN RECENT YEARS I WAS LOSING RESPECT FOR AMERICA BUT NOW I BELIEVE WITH OBAMA AMERICA IS COMING BACK. HERE WE SEE THROUGH HILLARY'S LIES AS WE SEE THROUGH WATER. WE JUST HOPE AMERICA DOES THE WORLD A FAVOUR AND VOTE FOR OBAMA. IN 2004 YOU DISAPPOINTED THE WORLD BY VOTING BUSH. NOW WE COUNT ON YOU AMERICANS TO HEAL FROM THE BUSH MESS. OBAMA 08

All of you cynics deriding comparisons of Obama to Kennedy are missing the big picture. No their resumes are not the same, yes their biographies are quite different. What is shared between these two candidates is an unprecedented ability to inspire all of the good feeling and hope in Americans for America and the nation that we can be, the obstacles we can surmount on the path to greatness, the unity we can experience as a nation, transcending the dangerous, unproductive divisions which keep this country from soaring as it otherwise might.
The majority of Americans feel the country is heading in the wrong direction, but few people are fully aware of just how dark the end of that path actually is, and it is that way because of the polarizing administrations of the last TWO presidents...yes, the last two. George Bush moreso than Bill Clinton, but do not forget the sourness inspired in Republicans by the latter. How could Hillary possibly compete against John McCain when he can bring in independents and she can inspire Republicans to vote against her? She will not win any Southern states, that you can rely on, and the swing states which will be decided by independents will go for McCain, so what we will be left with is another 4 yrs. in the least of a Republican administration. There is no getting around that. She is 60 years old, definitely marked by the past...Obama is the future. It is time to turn the page in our living history. If Democratic values are to have a fighting chance for the White House in '08 and a sustained majority in the Senate and Congress, Obama must be the leader in that struggle for greatness.

These days endorsements don't mean much, because everybody knows how planned and manipulative they are but this is a welcomed surprise.

One more thing I would like to point out, I'm studying political management and psychology and I have noticed two very different point of view between Hillary's supporters and Obama's.
Hillary supporters tend to be more edgy and critical of well every opponent on various topics but on the obama's side people tend to be more positive. I'm not praising any candidate by this but I really think Hillary should try to infuse more positivity in their campaign so it resonates more in their supporter's words and action.

Remember great things are not done by cynics but by believers.

To the Comment that Ann made about blacks just voting for him cause he's a "brother" obama is also half white if I'm not mistaken so lets not make this a race issue...we won't bring up the fact that the surge she got in NH was strictly women voting for her cause she's a women...Obama won SC across the board...if it was such a race thing then why did Obama win 25 percent of the white vote in SC...Clinton onlly beat him by 2 percent and how funny that as usual its the old white women that gave her that edge...but no black people only vote based on color..please stop disrespecting my race like that cause we made a very informed choice...we are tired of the politics tired of the games and double talk from washingston..we won't someone with a new vision..Hilary doesn't have expserince at making policies she got experice being the 1st lady....thats it...Clinton supporters kill me with all this she has more experience talk....I'll take Vision over experience any day....

Caroline Kennedy's ultimately very personal statement articulates eloquently the view I have come to hold. I still have my age 14 vivid memories of JFK's TV cuban missle crisis statement. JFK continues to serve as an inspiration to many, including myself.

However, the historic John F. Kennedy Jr was not the JFK we have come to love,
esteem and elevate beyond historical reality. JFK's physical courage as demonstrated by his war record and his fight with back pain became almost irrelevant as his sexual obsessions and possible disclosures of confidential information to his sexual partners placed us in potentially tremendous peril both with our internal and external enemies. His congressional experience did not prevent him from terribly mishandling the Cuban situation at first.

JFK was a great but very flawed President.

Holding Obama to the iconic standard rather than to the reality of JFK himself is self-defeating to us as a country. It is a standard
that JFK himself could not meet today if he were running for office.

While Bill Clinton and Edwards MODEL themselves after JFK. Obama IS JFK in his ability to inspire participation and hope
in the body politic." Obama is an evolved, more personally mature, JFK.
.
As someone who on the professional level is involved in the screening and hiring of executives for the highest positions in our private and non-profit sectors, I have come to believe there are times when the ability to inspire a vision trumps policy
knowledge and experience. Policy expertise can be injected into a presidency through
the appointments made. Leadership can only be brought to the position by
the president himself. We are presently leaderless.

Hillary is great, but not who we need at this time.

OBAMA, Sunday January 27 for 2008.

Yes, A big shame to the Clintons for trying to use RACE as a factor in this contest when they are have failed to stand on anything else or their flawed character and lies. Now that the Great people of south Carolina have rejected their divisive and discredited politics of do and die, where do they go from here. Down ward I hope, if the democratic hope to have a chance with the republican part in November general election.

The shameless Clintons will say and do anything as we have seen in recent weeks for political power. No body has asked the question, why the Clintons must be president for the third times?. Is it a right for them in a country of 260 million people?. Instead of counting themselves lucky, they are acting as if it is their birth right to keep. I use to like them but no more. They are a disgrace to the democratic party, a party that stood by them during their troubled presidency and more so by black people. Their discredited black followers like Andrew Young, Representatives Louis and Charles Rangel and that moral less Johnson of black entertainment should be ashamed by their actions and success of Obama in SC.

I wish Obama more success in his desire to give HOPE to people all over the world. You represent our dream and hope for the future. MARCH ON.

Good for you Caroline. I agree that among the current crop of Democartic candidates Obama stands alone. He is the only one with a PROVEN record of reaching across the aisle to accomplish what's necessary. Can you imagine Hillary (the landslide winner of Most Vindictive Person each of the past 30 years) cooperating, let alone talking, to someone who didn't support her? I can see the Governor of a state that she didn't carry asking for aid for some natural disaster; she'll flip her/him the Bird and laugh.

0bama@hillary they both are good people to run the country, may the best one win with the help of GOD.

Howdy,

When do endorsements count? How much do endorsements count?

It all seems to be about how much money can a candidate get. Hillary Clinton certainly proves she and her husband can get out the checkbooks. Who spent the most in South Carolina? How did they spend it?

It appears that when a long train gets moving it's hard to stop. Obama seems to have the train rolling along. Edwards could spend his own money, but has made more than a credible impact without the so called "public funding".

The Clintons were all for Florida not having delegates. ..until it became apparent that she needed the older women vote to have a prayer.

Oh well, that's politics.

I love how being first lady somehow translates to "more experience"... REALLY? By all means, Laura Bush then would make a great Republican candidate vs McCain and Romney...

Obama has the experience needed...

I 'M exited! OBAMA is the one to help us bring about positive change. We hear you and united Yes WE CAN!!!

For those who say this doesn't matter:

Hillary said Obama is no JFK. Now, Caroline, who has spent her life dealing with her father's legacy, has said Obama is the first to really remind her of her father. I will take Caroline's word over Hillary's, particularly on this subject.

The winds of a huge change politcally are blowing across the nation. We want some one new and inspiring, not the more of the same old status quo politically. Out with the old and in with the new! After 8 years of living in the most divisive, tyrantical presidency ever, we need Obama!
I am a republican and I completely support Obama who has brought hope to our nation. Go Obama and keep plugging along. Thanks Caroline!!!

To Yolanda Diaz

NO SHAME ON YOU...

Caroline,

How touching and wonderful!! I am vey excited about Barack's campaign. The last time that I was excited about a presidential candidate, I was a child and the candidate was JFK.

Americans have hope again.

To Jason, are you a Kennedy? Are you saying that a Kennedy does not know what it is to be a Kennedy...

To Joe, really you are a minority is that old status quo labeling, you are an American, please wake up! You are an American! ...stop putting yourself and others in a box. Wear an American badge, give Hillary her minority badge back.

To the statement of leadership, the mess our country is in can also be credited to the "Clinton's", as well as many others in Washington, It is amazing that you want more of that crap!!!

"kathy1111 January 26, 2008 9:09 pm ET

I remember JFK. Obama had reminded me of him, too.2

Obama is no JFK.

Obama couldn't even lace up JFK's shoelaces.

Caroline Kennedy endorsing Obama ...How Wonderful is that!!!!!!
After reading these emails it gives me So much hope that the people of America
TRULY want a Change!
Obama may not have as much experience, but he has a Vision to Unite Us, and he may very well be the vehicle we need that to make that happen! He will have the support of so many great minds in this Country.
So don't worry Clinton supporters we Do have a plan!!!!!!!

Another worthless endorsement – if people are dumb enough to vote on the basis of what someone else tells them to do they don't deserve the vote.

With all respect to those who reply that "Obama is no Kennedy" – somehow I feel that Caroline knows better than anyone who her father was.

Congratulations Obama and thank you Caroline!

I am so proud of Carolie Kennedy. I always knew that there was something very special about her. To put Obama on the same level as her father (JFK), is not about the color of his skin, but the contents of his character as well as who could lead this county better. Billary your term expired 8 years ago.

OBAMA!!!!! 2008

I CAN WRITE IT SO EVEN THE OBAMA NUTS CAN UNDERSTAND IT HE CAN NOT WIN REPEAT HE CAN NOT WIN YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE THE WHITE HOUSE BACK TO THE SAME IDIOTS THAT PUT US IN THE MESS WE ARE IN NOW HE TALKS CHANGE BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH PEOPLE NOT WALK IN AND WAVE THE MAGIC LETS ALL BE FRIENDS LINE THE REPUBICANS WILL RUN OVER THIS GUY LIKE A MACK TRUCK HILLARY KNOWS HOW UNDERHANDED THESE GUYS CAN BE SHE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT THEM SHE CAN WIN

Hillary Clinton is fortunate to have the power of her husband behind her in this campaign.

Barack Obama has the power to bring together people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, male, female, to bring about effective change in this country.

How old was Bill Clinton in the 92 election? What experience did he have? He was the governor of Arkansas.
When he took office, he was 47 years old.

How old will President Barack Obama be?
When he takes office, he will be 47 years old.

Please. Age has nothing to do with it. This man has wisdom beyond his years.

I don't care that he had an African father and a White American mother. I have enough wisdom and confidence to know that race baiting has not work and will never work.

It is time for effective change. I'm tired of having a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. Enough. I'm voting for Senator Barack Obama.

Boy....reading these coments I wonder if either can win the general election. The racial undertones in the Democratic party is palpable. Just what experience do either of these candidates really have? And will Latinos support a black man? I would hope so.

Honestly, why do we care?

Kennedy is the royalty of this country although I am not sure how well Caroline Kennedy's endorsement will translate into votes.

In any case, I think there are more elements you need to lead this country than merely having "experience." George W. Bush was elected based on his experience as the governor in Texas and guess what has happened eight years later. Domestically our economy is in a mess, our health care system is subpar, and our education system is in turbulance. I don't think I have to remind you what is going on in Iraq.

We need a president who can rally people with different demographic backgrounds and a president who can get things done in a intelligent way. We just don't need the same old Washington politics (again, that's how we end up here eight years later uder George W. Bush's leadership).

Congrats to Obama's campaign and let's see how this will shape up Super Tuesday.

Well of course she is supporting Obama. Hillary Clinton is not bleeding heart liberal enough for her. What a joke... who cares who Caroline Kennedy endorses!

Oh, I'm so happy for her. It' great to see that she made her decision. I can't think of a more wonderful thing to read about. Its just great, it's great, great! I want more of this type of reporting. CNN, please tell us more...I just can't wait.

Which is worse – not to vote for a candidate because his or her race or gender -or – to vote for a candidate just because his or her race or gender? The statistics show that the SC was all about race.

“Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice — in ‘84 and ‘88 — and he ran a good campaign, and Senator Obama has run a good campaign,”

”And with race emerging as a key factor in the South Carolina contest, FOX News exit polls showed black voters went for Obama over Clinton by a huge margin of 81 to 17 percent, and 82 percent of black women supported the Illinois senator.”

It is a shame that if someone says something negative about Obama or about the race issue they are a racists.

Did Caroline really know her father? President Kennedy solved the Cuban Missile Crisis and did not go to Cuba to talk to Castro. Obama is planning on talking to Castro and any other renegade leader that stands against us. I do not give any consideration to her endorsement.

THANKS SOUTH CAROLINA... FOR SHOWING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN ..THAT WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED !

This is powerful. This Woman, as a child, lost her Father to America. She and John-John were "America's Children"....

She is asking for someone SHE can believe in, as President. Someone to inspire her the way her Father inspired all of us.

How can America say no.

This whole "livin' in the past" thing scares me to death. As a "liberal" mother of 2 young kids I have refused to be made to feel afraid by the republican war monger machine. Obama, however, strikes me as not the one do deal with the true, international threats to our future. I trust the lives of my two babies in the hands of Hillary Clinton. The nostalgia for the past and a JFK or MLK-like figure is just not appropriate for our time. It may even be dangerously wrong.

lol...look who's talking she's just want to be noticed.....

Two things worry me about the Democrats. I've voted straight Democrat since 1976. One , How do the losers always end up with the nomination and two, will any of the losers support the nominee. I.ve noticed in the posts that more Obama supporters say they won't vote for Clinton. Where is that attitude coming from? I don't really like either one, regardless of who endorses them. I will vote for the Dem. nominee. I'll probably vote for Clinton. Things have gotten so negative, I think she is more experienced in this area than the other two.

To all those Democrats who say endorsements mean nothing - Ever heard of SUPER DELEGATES?

If you factor in the super delegates, Clinton is in the lead. CNN would do a service to its readers explaining this and factoring in those super delegates as well.

Obama '08!

I want experience that can bring results; I don't see that with a speech writing Obama, many times talking to his "brothers" that slang talk, just what we need!!! I am with Robert Kennedy and saw him with Hillary when she arrived in N.H., right by her side, now thats support. My mom and I will vote for Hillary.

"Finally a President I can vote for". Caroline Kennedy should know. Obama, has a chance to attract far more Independent and even Republican voters because "he's a uniter" and not a "divider".
Democrats would be wise to make them their nominee.
He can win the Presidency because he can inspire people. Hilary, lacks those skills!
O'Bama '08

its a shame that Caroline would discredit her Great Fathers legacy in comparrison to obama. Her father was a GREAT Man, not a racist! .

CNN coverage of the South Carolina Democratic primary was disgraceful. 1.) The obvious dislike of Hillary by most of your commentators (led by Carl Bernstein) went beyond analysis to personal vindictiveness. 2.) yes, it had a great deal to do with race – despite the ga ga reporting about Barak's "consensus," he actually received only 20% of the white vote vs. almost 80% of the black vote which had an obvious impact on his victory margin. And Latinos? Forget about it. They are solidly with Hillary. So are women and labor.

I don think Caroline knew her father. President Kennedy did not go to talk to Castro as Obama will go to talk to Chavez. But, she is an American Citizen and has the right to vote for whoever she wants. That means nothing to me.

And why didn't you run for president?

To anybody who thinks Obama has not done anything look at the counties he carried in SC. Leadership is not about using power and telling people what to do. It's about uniting and building a consensus. You can't move forward without it.

okay i don't see what the big deal is here,, obviously black americans feel most comfortable with someone who looks more like them,, just like many white and latinos feel more comfortable with someone that looks like them,, that is not racial but personal preference,, it was not suprising that this would happen just as it was not suprising that it happened in N.H. and Nevada,, nor will it be any different when we look back after super tuesday

I am am a British lawyer who has wept many times at the way the USA has abused its world position e.g. Iraq. I am so gripped by the nominations, I stay awake watching and hoping that Obama gets the chance to make the USA great again. I am so inspired by the man and just wish others can see what I see.

Go Obama Go!

Thanks Caroline

SWEET CAROLINE daa daa daa ........her endorsement means more to the american people than any newspaper or any politician . she is REAL someone who has her OWN MIND and makes her OWN CHOICES.
she sees the COURAGE the HOPE and the VISION FOR THE FUTURE that he OBAMA brIngs to america ......NO HE IS NOT JFK, he is his OWN MAN and THAT is what makes him like JFK.

Obama won't be able to lead America around by the and without a cooperative Congress. America is in danger of being taken over by facists. Obama will just add fuel to their fire. Obama won't be able to take the hits from Republican liars. He'll fold like a cheap suit.

Read this BECKY:

I have loved America since I was a little white boy, and just because she was a president's wife will make no difference in why I, or the rest of oppressed, non-wealthy Americans will vote. Go OBAMA.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hat's off to Caroline...............

Why is MY comment still WAITING MODERATION? So many posted afterward have been posted already?

January 26, 2008 9:58 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
WOW!!! ummmmmm WOW!!!

Ok now here come all of the negative comments that make NO Sense.

You people can belittle all of this all you want, but Obama just beat your Girl AND Edwards with More Votes than the two of them COMBINED!!!!

GOD you must be Scared to death! Your posts show it clearly.

As Lloyd Bentsen said to Dan Quayle during a debate, "I knew John Kennedy. And Senator, you are no John Kennedy." Love that line. So my question remains, what is behind her endorsement?

The whole is for Obama without even testing/understanding fully. They all have fallen for his speech magic. In the past great people did good work first and great speechs later. This no stunning great work but trying to cash on the speech and publiciy of the books he wrote ASAP. if he is elected USA will pay in great.

LOL..I think it's funny when people can respond to Caroline and say Sen. Obama's "Nothing Like Her Father..."umm, it was HER FATHER...I think she'd know! GOD BLESS..

Oh I see its ok for Oprah to 'stump'. But when its Bill, its racial. Give me a break !

The fact that Caroline Kennedy has decided to support Mr Obama is a very clear indication that the Clinto " message " has not resonated well .
Ms Kennedy has decided the time for change has come and she has made a wise decision .
The negative and divisive campaign tactics of the Clintons are unacceptable and offensive ...there is " wisdom in the crowd " as the expression goes , and many are seeing the all out desperation of the Clinton campaign come into focus.
Mr Obama offers a clear change ..a chance to renew the Counrty and he will make a genuine effort to offer hope to many of his fellow Americans .
Mrs Clinton is not whom the Country needs now and surely her former Presidental appendage has had his day .
Move over BILLARY ..the fast moving Obama express has left you at the station .

Thank God for Obama. Hill sucks!! Go Obama.

I think Caroline got influence from her uncle. Go Hilliary. It was a 'black' issue in South Carolina. Are we blind?

If you are still asking "what change will Obama bring?" , then you are either deaf or just blinded by your love of Hillary.

He has made it very clear, just listen.

And, I love how endorsements mean nothing if they don't back your candidate!

I challenge you to go to any ticker story that has a mention of Hillary and find one that does not contain anger, questions of integrity and morality and concern. This is coming from Democrats as well as Republicans.

Hillary will divide this country and provide the worst political culture ever. When she says things like "only democrats know how to fix this country", that divides. Why do you want to force a candidate on a country who doesn't want her? If you don't like Obama, vote for Edwards.

Devan Lewis who is 16 years of age in Mississippi, who is spreading the words and message of Obama- YOU ARE PRECIOUS!!!

A Shocker; One socialist endorses another socialist.

sorry Obama is no JFK. Please don't cheapen JFK by comparing to Obama

When you compare JFK to Obama .. that must be the biggest joke .

JFK was a very experienced politician and a national WWII hero .. his inspiration wasn't just poetry and media dust .

I do appreciate the endorsement of Caroline Kennedy. The inspiration given by Obama so far has sent a wave of shock amount americans.
Doesn't matter what will happen to him his name is already in record book as the first young black leader in all time to shock America.
Those who hate Obama because he is black are holding back the evolution of America.
Among 42 Presidents of USA, we have never had a black president. When this will happen, even after 4 centuries, it is going to be the beginning of everything, it is what you don't want to face now.

Finally, someone is articulating what I have been feeling about Obama. I was born two years before Kennedy was killed. Obama has a feeling about him that I believe can change government, how America is perceived and all of "us". We need to come together as a people to solve some of our biggest problems – strategically and tactically. I have heard republicans senators say he has brought people together in the Senate.

Picture a white house with the character of Obama – built with people who want to help this country – fix the problems. Now,picture a white house – out to get its enemies – and show how "superior" it is.

Thank you Caroline for saying what "no" politician would dare say – I believe Obama could inspire us to all be better – just as your father did almost fourty years ago.

Isn't everyone one sick of the Clinton machine? What's next...Hillary's mother running in 2012?

Wow! And that’s not for Obama’s big win but how Hillary didn’t even stay in South Carolina to say thank you to all of her hard working volunteers. Didn’t she stay in the other States? What a slap in the face that was!

Of Course a Liberal give our money away to the lazy people Kennedy would support a Liberal give our money away to the lazy people, raise taxes dope smoking Obama.

IS SHE A REPUBLICAN??????
OBAMA HAS NO CHANCE AGAINST FRONT REPUBLICAN RUNNERS WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

OBAMA WINNING IS THE GOOD NEWS REPUBLICCANS CAN HOPE FOR...

Please all American should open their heart and mind to Obama because i believe that he got something good for America we all loved.

THIS IS FOR: TRUE_BLUE,

I LIKE YOUR STYLE–AND, YOU MADE ALOT OF SENSE!!!

YOU KNOW, I READ ALOT OF THESE COMMENTS, AND I'VE NOTICED THAT EVERY WOMAN WHO HAS COMMENTED IN SUPPORT OF CLINTON, I BELIEVE, HAS DONE SO ONLY BECAUSE SHE'S A ANOTHER WOMAN. I DON'T THINK HILARY CLINTON IS A PRINCIPLED CANDIDATE. I DO BELIEVE SHE'S PRINCIPLED, BUT NOT IN THE WASHINGTON D.C. MEANING OF PRINCIPLED, IF YOU FOLLOW WHAT I MEAN ? TO BE FOR CLINTON, JUST BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BEING A WOMAN. BUT, THIS COUNTRY NEEDS SOMEONE FRESH AND NEW IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HILARY CLINTON AIN'T IT PEOPLE–IT'S O'BAMA !!!!

And I would ask, what difference does this make?

No disrespect to Ms. Kennedy but this is just another endorsement from a "famous" person. So she is the daughter of JFK, and...?

I'm guessing that Pope John Paul will shortly endorse Mr. Obama from the grave, on CNN!

It is a undisputed fact that every candidate touts their endorsments. Just look at HRC's website, one of the top stories is her NY Times endorsement. So for her supporters to come in here and say that Carloine Kennedy endorsing Obama does not matter is just plain stupid.

Issues are important, but this is a democratic primary, meaning that they mostly agree on issues. What is important in the nomination process is the candidates ability to make people come together. Only by doing that can you be a strong leader, a great commander in chief, and get things done. That is why Obama is the obvious candidate.

...what a warm and moving endorsement....that Obama inspires her in the way in which she's felt her father inspired so many in his candidacy and presidency, is so easy to understand and applaud. JFK – alongside his brother, Bobby, the Rev. ML King, Jr. and other visinary leaders -reconnected a government to its people and galvanized a nation into actively participating in its own destiny and potentiality... here's hoping, Caroline, that reverberating effect can empower us once more!
OBAMA 08!

Well cnn I see you wont post my comment ,so dont! How about just for once we see some EQUAL coverage on Clinton and Obama? Clinton wins.two states and she is slammed by the media,Obama wins two states and Clinton is slammed by the media.Obama has used the words in his speeches that came straight from the other candidates mouths, and we hear nothing! Obama wins s.c and all we hear about are the negativeson the Clintons.I would like to hear BOTH SIDES please! What about the issues? who voted for or against what?

I am a 73 year old Asian American and still can remember the inspiring speech JFK made in Ann Arbor,MI in 1960. Obama inspires me in a similar way. Thank you, Caroline, for endorsing Obama.

I have loved Caroline since she was a little girl but I think she made a huge mistake by endorsing Obama. Of course it doesn't matter to me who endorses him, I wouldn't vote for him anyhow since I do have a mind of my own.

John F. Kennedy was my favorite president but Obama doesn't even come close to him.

i wonder what arnie the rep/would say on your choice.and who cares about the kennedys opinion anyway/

I've heard alot about Obama being a "feel good" candidate. Like that's some kind of insult ? What the heck is so Terrible about feeling good ??!!! I gotta tell you I'm feeling great right about now. GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!

It's unfortunate that they women supporters of Clinton cannot let go of their ego. It's a biased jack in the box that cannot spring, or even seep through the side door to realize the difference between Hillary, I mean Billary, and Barack Obama. A man of hope, vision, and integrity, and willing to speak the truth at all costs; just read "The Audacity of Hope". I'm sad for those women, who will wake up and realize that this is just a dream, and not false hope. That while this country may be ready for a woman president, this country is not ready for Hillary Clinton, former President Clinton's husband. Change does not equate to Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton.

To those who seek the truth, to those who seek a vision and hope, god bless you in your intellect and seeing the truth, yes, we are starting to believe.

Peace, Paul

A Cute memorry .... stop sucking cute balls, people .......

Shame on Caroline? Shame for going with her mind and heart? Women or democrats are no more homogeneous than is any other group. Supporting someone just because she is a lawyer or woman like herself is not a great start in exercising keen judgement. There would be no election if all the preconditions for support were met. You have got to earn it., not ride on the COATTAILS of your husband.
That is the big difference, Obama is prepared to work for it, Hillary feels she deserves and so is entitled to the nomination.

Cuban missle crisis ,,WE were literally minutes away from total nuclear world destruction,, In the face of great pressure to bend from contrary oppinion,,JFK held on to his beliefs, prayed to his god,( "his words not mine" ) Did not cave in to foriegn threat, "stayed the course" and broke the back of our greatest national security threat for terror in american history,, that is ,,, up till now,,, sound familiar ?

Ann,

Your way of thinking or rather not thinking is the reason America is so divided today. Do us all a favor and stay out of politics, then you will be doing America a great service.

The Clintons need to read their Bible more often...You reap what you sow!

I'm a white male and for Obama because he is the least divisive candidate out there in my judgment. I realise that "feel good talk" is not eveything after Bush's "compasionate conservatism" and "no nation building" rhetoric proved nothing but words, but after 8 years of Rovian divisive politics where disagreeing with the president was painted as unamerican and/or evil, I think the nation and the world need some healing. Obama is a charismatic who can influence people by making them feel good about themselves and the future. While I would love to see a woman president, Hillary's not a charismatic leader because her nature is scolding and makes people feel bad about themselves and the future. She may work hard, but what is the point without the joy of living that a scolding nature erodes? In my infinitly limited wisdom I put Obama's charisma ahead of Hillary's scolding experience. Forgive me if I am wrong.

...i actually got goose pimples reading this article...old enough to remember the hope & unity John Kennedy made the nation feel...& young enough to have faith that America is ready to move beyond, our sometimes painful past !

WOW,, now this is news,, Our most loved family is split on who there endorsing for the democrats. Watch Teddy come out and endorse John Edwards and make it complete. WHO CARES

Thank you Caroline. We need people like her who rarely speak up to endorse Obama. He is the only Democrat that can win this election and turn this evil empire around. As for the Hillary Clinton supporters, I have one thing to point out. It is said again and again that the educated support Obama. I think that is because we all know Hillary is a liar and she will NOT win against the republicans. If over half of her own party doesn't like her, how do you think the republicans feel about her??? LIAR LIPS Hillary. Get on the Obama bandwagon and forget Hillary and her side-kick Bill who will not make it back to the White House. Too much dirty laundry. We need someone like Obama that can rally enough votes to bury the republicans in hell.

Lord Jesus Christ

Only You knows who is the best person for president for the USA.
If it's Obama, give us Obama,
If Clinton, Give us Clinton,
My choice is Obama.

YES we CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08,12

Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama: A President Like My Father, SHE STATES
"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."

The Bill-Arys WERE and still ARE trying to have a legacy worth remembering.
Obama respresents the FUTURE FOR ALL AMERICANS. 123- ON FEB 5 FOR GOOD SAY NO!!!!!
TO BILL-ARY!

THIS IS FOR: Yolanda Diaz ,

YOU SAID: "Shame on her". WHY ? BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T VOTE FOR A WOMAN ? SHE VOTED WHO SHE FELT WOULD BE BEST AT DELIVERING THE CHANGE THIS COUNTRY SO DESPERATELY NEEDS. TIRED OF THE SAME "OLD" FACES IN D.C. MS. DIAZ, WOULDN'T LIKE TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO BEST HAS YOUR INTERESTS (YOUR ISSUES), AT HEART ? WELL, IT ISN'T SEN. CLINTON, THAT'S FOR SURE.....

even I can tell OBAMA is right guy

AND I AM ONLY 12!!

Oh, mahalo Caroline Kennedy, what an intelligent analysis...God bless to you and yours.

WOW! Can there be a more important symbolic endorsement for a new generation of leadership. The fight against the establishment is not over but they know they got a fight now.

Obama 08

Another hag that wants to be a star

The Clintons' got it shoved right in their lying, low life faces. Go Senator Obama and thank you to my wonderful South Caroinians!!!

Congrats Obama, but I still won't vote for you. GO HILLARY 2008!!!!

I am a young person who supports Hillary Clinton. I heard Obama speak and while he is glib at choosing words – I don't think that's the most important thing for a president. We need someone who can make sound policy decisions, who can make changes through good policies, foreign diplomacy, and a sound economic plan. I don't care much about pretty speeches or news about this endorsement – what has Caroline done besides be born into a wealthy family?.

Go Hillary!

A leadership is about responsibility, making the tough calls when backed against a wall. Obama never did that. He bowed out in both the State Legislature and the US Senate by voting present 130 times, and by missing key votes in the US Senate due to absence and has the nerve to criticize others for how they vote. That is cowardly and no amount of his smooth talking will convince me to support him LET ALONE any specific endorsement. He is campaigning on the hopes of liberals that the country has changed enough to elect a minority of color, but what has that got to do with his ability to lead? I say again, he has shown the exact opposite of leadership!

I have hOpe!

Obama '08!

I like Obama too but since when is the daughter of a former president an authority on who I should vote for?

FYI Katy1111...JFK's win was far from a landslide!!! He got 49.7% of the popular vote to Nixon's 49.5%!!!

Caroline joins other people of integrity in supporting Obama. We are tired of old time politics and need a new paradyme. I am a single white female Republican supporting him. The only way to beat the Clinton machine is for a ground swell of Americans to turn out and vote.

I think it's important for people to respect the opinion of others. There is no need to be negative about Caroline endorsing Obama's run for president; she is a patriotic American who hope for the best for this nation. I comend Caroline for her vision and patriotism.

Long Live the United States of America! Long live the Kennedys! and Long Live Obama '08!

Anaheimbruin – most of Obamas 'present' votes were strategic, often requested or endorsed by those on the liberal side of the issue, and those votes in any case represent a very small percentage of the total. I was young when JFK was in office, but certainly got the sense of inspiration people felt from him. I've seen nothing like that since JFK and RFK untill now. Can we say Obama 'is a JFK'? – more than anyone else I can think of – it's about an ability to inspire and unite, and it's what we need right now.
.

Her endorsement was very much personal. We all have to respect that. God Bless

Caroline Kennedy clearly vocalized what I have been thinking for the last two weeks. I have been put off with the kind of politics that's coming from the Clinton camp. If it helps in any, for me and my house, we will vote Obama...

Mahalo Obama

Remember that God-awful feeling many of us Democrats had after Bush stole the elections from Gore back in 2000!

Anyone but Bush was the hope for many of us in 2004. Remember that God-awful feeling again when 62,040,610 Americans were so wrong to re-elect him?

2008 is the best chance for Democrats to re-take the White House. If Hillary is the Democratic candidate in November, Republicans will rejoice and the Democrats will lose again. Think about that God-awful feeling you'll have once more!

Let's quit shooting ourselves in the foot and get it right this time! Support the only candidate that can inspire and bring all Americans together!

Obama '08!

Huge news .. WOW
That tells you exactly how the media gives Obama a free ride .

Another HUGE news .. Obama won SC ..

Wait with 55% of the voters are African American , and 2 other white candidates splitting the white votes .

WOW I thought that wasn't about RACE or GENDER

I think that arnie has been playing with your brain too long. I used to admire you but your brain went out the window. We would have had more kenedy's(Uncle Bobby and your brother) but its too bad that god took away the best ones. we may need to change, but not obama.

GO HILLARY!

Wow, reading some of these Hillary supporters comments just got me even more pissed off. If people like "Ann" are who make up the Clinton support, I want nothing to do with it.

-One of many whites who support Obama

You are comparing obama with your father, personally, there is not now and never will be another president like your father. I am a young voter and do not agree with your thinking. your thoughts about change are correct. We need a woman in the white house who has more experience and the ability to make the change that you talk about. We would have elected another Kennedy (Bobby) had he not been killed. I think that we need change, but not O'bama, not yet.

Carolyn Kennedy is right there is something special about Oboma that is very uplifting. He makes you feel good whenever I listen to him, he gives people hope, and if you believe like I do that Iraq was a mistake he is the only one left in the race besides Ron Paul that was against us going there. I suported the Iraq war but realize my mistake. It would be nice to have a President that could get foreign policy right from the beginning and showed better judgement than I did.

Thank you Caroline for standing up for change! You are indeed a woman of integrity and I am so proud of you!! Obama does indeed have the vision and leadership like JFK. Obama can really unite and move this country forward.

hmmm... so what did JFK do for this country?? I'm too young to remember that... all I learn and know about him was that he's the youngest president and he got murdered... And really? Obama is inspiring?? i have seen his speeches on several occasions, and I cant see that change he's talking about & honestly, he's uncertainty, and I just dont get so emotional or think he's inspiring, well at least for me.... But if you all like uncertainty and just love to be inspired, then by all means vote for Obama... I mean IF inspiration and the uncertainty of change are what you want for this country, then I guess Obama's the candidate for it... I for one would rather have certainty of change, and I believe Hillary offers that...

and does she counts as a delegate??? I mean if not, does it really matter if she endorses Obama?? I for one wouldnt vote just because a daughter of a former president endorses a candidate... I mean a former president endorsing a candidate would be much more appealing and newsworthy.... You know what, CNN should also find all the children, grand children,great grandchildren and so on of president Roosevelt, Carter etc just to find out who endorses which candidate... The point is, who cares?? What I want to know are when superdelegates endorsing someone... that I care.. it wouldnt change my vote, but I think that is newsworthy....

Endorsements are nice and there are probably many other notable people who want to endorse Obama. But he should not have this nomination handed to him. The nastiness we are starting to see in this campaign is like watching sausage being made. It's not pleasant but it is necessary.

After the primary is decided, the Clintons will probably fess up to some underhanded tactics as a means to make Obama prove his mettle. He is going to need these sparing sessions to prepare him for the bare knuckle battles in the General Election. Obama is being vetted and so far he seems to be holding up.

As far as I'm concerned, her father was killed too soon, and her thoughts on obama are absolutely absurd, her father was a fair and just man who had not only the ability to talk to people in this country, but people all over the world. Obama is not qualified to run this country and wouldn't know how to talk to people and leaders all over the world. He lacks certain knowledge about foreign affairs and would do more harm to this country than good, because he just lacks the experience. Maybe twenty years from now he will have achieved that goal. There will never be another John F. Kennedy, and certainly there will never be another man to amount to his ability.

I am rejoicing with the SC win, enjoying the Kennedy endorsement, and hoping for the first time in 8 years, that our country might not be toast, after all.

OBAMA '08

Who cares what she thought of him. Other than black votes, or some male votes, look at the age groups that vote for him. Young college students, who have no real life experiences. Dream can not take you any where. Wake up, American! A vote for Obama is a vote for disaster. What can this guy offer other than wishful inspiring speeches?

Well, another female falls for an inexperienced big-earred smooooth talker....just like the one we have in the White House now. I predict this democratic race will divide this country. I can feel the fear. BO is not ready to run this country and be a world leader. He'll depend on the opinions of other–just like Bush. When we vote for something other than true leadership, well, we get what we vote for....Bush. I will have an extremely difficult time voting for BO if we are starry-eyed enough to give him the nomination. I just can't let us go to hell in a handbasket...as "inspiring" as that basket may look to some.

I for one am tired of people saying Obama doesn't have the experience to run this country. Look who you voted in last time America...Nepitism at it's best. Don't make the same mistake again with Hillary Clinton. Just because she "slept" in the same bed with a president for 8 years doesn't mean she's qualified to be one. As the joke goes,"I don't want the pilot's WIFE flying my plane"

While Obama was a civil-rights attorney fighting for the working man, Hillary was a well paid corporate attorney who has never seen the inside of a courtroom. She has very little experience, and sat on the sidelines of what will always be known as one of the biggest "freakshows" in presidential history, thanks to the husband that seems to be getting more air time than she does. You'd think he was running for president again. Do you realize it has taken 2 Clintons to try and beat Obama. And I don't know about you, but I'm not too comfortable with a president that needs her husband to fight her battles for her.

Oh, as much as I like Edwards for all the good he's done as an attorney fighting big tobacco and corporate america for folks like you and me, I really hope he drops out soon, swings his support to Obama, and then becomes Obama's running mate. Now that's a ticket I'd be proud to vote for!

GO OBAMA/EDWARDS '08!!

I am very impress by my fello Americans and it show that we have all matured . Today , no longer AM I a Republican. i will be making a donation to the "Obama" Camp .. he seems very straight forward and not corrupted . God bless America .

I am baffled by the comments comparing Hillary's "specific" examples of how she will cure the social and economic ills we face with Barack's so called non-specific examples. Let me tell you, I believe he wants to and can accomplish what he has set forth, and I certainly take his inpirational message of hope and change any day over a bunch of lies and what is certain to be campaign promises unfulfilled.

Carolne Kennedy should be a shamed to put Obama in the rank with her Dad. Obama can never be like John F. Kennedy. For her to back Obama she must be out of her mine. Obama is not for all people. He is just saying what you want to hear. He has white family member's he doesn't get alone with nor does he want any thing to do with them.Obama is not the best one for President. Hillary Clinton is the best one more experience .She has 8 years as first lady of Arkansas and 8 years experience as first lady in the White House.Plus she is a lawyer and a Senator. All I can say is be smart vote Hillary for president .Obama is not ready for the job.We ask for Hillary before but she waited cause Al Gore ran she would have hurt his chance of winning against Bush. She has come to help us now the people of the United States. Hillary can and will help all people. If Obama won I see us in worse shape than we are now. People please think Hillary is one with the know how and will back it up. **VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON**

Go Caroline!
Mr. Obama has the ability to unite the country.
His speech tonight shed the very light and inspiration that makes his run for the White House so strong.
Iowa has 95% whites living in the state, and yet he won. Now, he's victorious in South Carolina, which have a strong majority of African-Americans.
It's not about "Race", he's proven this point from these 2 victories.
Fire up and still going!

Obama '08

Yes, We Can Change America. I Believe in Obama for President he have my vote and support. To Obama keep on track don't fall into the Clinton trap. America needs your leadershiip. May God, Continue to bless Caroline Kennedy.

When your father became President of the US, you were too young to know him. I was a fan of your father from the time he engaged Nixon in the Presidential debates till the end of his thousand days in the White House. I knew your father then better than you do now. Obama's preaching of HOPE and CHANGE is nothing new. Even Bill Clinton preached HOPE during his first election to the Presidency. I can only say that like the other Obama supporters mesmerized by empty oratory, you are too NAIVE to endorse Obama. Open your eyes. It is clear you do not know Hillary much, or even watched the debates where Hillary bested Obama all the time. Hillary has the experience and ability. Obama has little or none, with even nothing to show about his performance in the US Senate. Get real! GO HILLARY!

I think this endorsement will speak volume to those who want to listen I happen to be one of those crazy people who believe words can change a Nation and Hope can unite us all. I'm very proud of what Barack Obama has done I went from being just a regular voter to a volunteer then first time Iowa caucus goers. I don’t know how the people came out in SC but in IA very few people went to the caucus alone for instance I went with my husband, my daughter, my nephew, my cousin, his girlfriend and a friend of the family. My father and grandmother, aunts and uncles with there kids also caucus What Barack has done is given Americans the reason to hope again. Its an amazing thing to see history in the making and if you don’t want to Barock this boat with us back up cause the waves are coming!!! OBAMA 08

i have the utmost respect for ms. kennedy, however, i cannot and do not respect this decision to endorse sen. obama. i see nothing substantive.. in his short sketchy senate record that doesn't back his rhetoric...

obama doesn't impress me... and i'm sorry to say that ms. kennedy disappoints me greatly with this news.

Thank you Caroline for the endorcement. That means a lot to Obama supporters like myself. I was not around when your dad was alive but have heard great things about him. I have heard people say over and over again that Barack reminds them of JFK. The fact that you have made it known publicly validates those sentiments. Thank you! Thank you!

This man has a gift and anyone unable to see it, is looking too closely at the mundane task of simply running a beaurocratic system. If you want someone to take the helm and hit the ground running carrying out the same policies of the nineties, then Hillary is your girl. If hyou want someone who can inspire people around him to work hard to bring about the change this country needs, then Obama is your man. I don't know about you, but the CEO who is a micro manager always achieves less than the CEO who inspires his workers to work double time to accomplish his agenda and dreams. That's what Obama inspirational speeches does to people. It moves them not only to tears. It moves them to ACT!

I WANT MY VOICE TO BE HEARD TOO.. OBAMA REPRESENT THE FUTURE, HE CAN MAKE THE UNITY AMERICA NEED AND I AM GLAD CAROLINE KENNEDY ENDORSED HIM, HE DESERVE MORE!!!!!!

GO BARAK, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the '60 campaign, JFK said "it's time to get this country moving again."

Caroline Kennedy recognizes that many of the same challenges are present today. I think Barack frames it exactly right: this election has to be about the future and not the past.

I read all the comments from Obama supporters, and I have to say that if this is the HOPE and CHANGE we have to look forward to, I want no part of it. You guys can be really nasty and hateful. I am sick and tired of the Media giving Obama a free ride. He has no experience, and he is tied to Lobbyists, and it just goes by without notice. The Republicans are licking their chops at the prospect of Obama being the Democratic Nominee. Obama is all talk and no action. GO HILLARY!!!!

WHAT?!! 55% and Hilary's name was on the ballot???....IMPRESSIVE!

The most that Obama was ever behind was 4% never a whopping 28%.

Let's all remember that George Bush Jr., Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Jimmy Carter were all LESS experienced than the people they were running against for President. So if you voted for any of these people in the past or believe any of these individuals did a great job, but you are using experience against Obama now....you are what is called a HYPOCRITE!

OBAMA '08
Time for Change!!

I can honestly say that I wasn't on board with Barack Obama at the beginning of this election year. I was leaning more toward Hilary and John Edwards, but he has continued to impress me. He has won 2 huge primaries and his confidence level has greatly increased which I believe has contributed to his increasing charisma and brick-hard stand on certain issues during the debates. It's just ashame to me that some Whites still only see "a Black man." What this entire country needs is a change! A plan for the future! Come on White America! This is 2008!!! Caroline Kennedy is just an example of someone not seeing color but instead seeing potential. At age 28, this is an exciting time for me and my generation. Bush has done nothing for my generation, but of course, my white, Republican co-workers (in Texas) disagree. They see this entire election year as nothing more than their duty to make sure that this country is not run by a Black man. How pathetic!

Change...abracadabras... THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN...Barack just says change and it happens, like David Copperfield. Seriously people, look at the issues and tell me who really has PLANS for change. In other words I can't just say MONEY and I'm a millionaire. People please think about the RHETORIC RHETORIC RHETORIC RHETORIC that you are voting for. That's right, not the substantive policy, the verbal RHETORIC of Obama.

I'm glad to see that voter's aren't easily swayed by someones endorsment, no matter who they are. If we can't make up our own minds, then we're pretty pathetic. I was a supporter of Richardson until he dropped out and so I was looking at the other's. Now that Caroline Kennedy has endorsed Obama, I still feel exactly the same. Nothing for me has changed. Do I go with a Senetor who's been running for the President for almost as long as he's beein in the senate and has changed the world so much that he has to stand up when he eats...or the one from New York who's been in there for about six years and is on a commitee and who's worked for children and that I have benefited from, and who saw a veteran trying to get the help he needed. When no one would help him, he wrote to this Candidate and was helped tremendously. Or should I go for the one that's not even the Senator anymore...I just can't decide.

I think I'll be going with Bloomberg if he runs.

We're so proud of you Caroline. We come from a much younger generation and never got to witness how your father united this country years ago, but seeing our peers inspired like this in 2008 warms our soul. Hearing news like this from you warms our hearts. And reading the cynical comments that all the billary supports are making only strengthens our resolve and affirms that we're backing the right person for the job.

I guess the apples don't fall that far from the tree, isn't that right, billary supporters?

Obama 08!

Carolne Kennedy should be a shamed to put Obama in the rank with her Dad. Obama can never be like John F. Kennedy. For her to back Obama she must be out of her mine. Obama is not for all people. He is just saying what you want to hear. He has white family member's he doesn't get alone with nor does he want any thing to do with them.Obama is not the best one for President. ththing

Caroline Kennedy writes children's books. Occasionally she agrees to be trotted out by the Democratic party for the same reason the Republicans trot out Nancy Reagan. Its not much more than a curiosity, kind of like seeing extended family you don't see often. So don't get carried away by this meaningless endorsement. Half the people of voting age don't even know who she is!

Prior to the primaries, I respected the Clintons and Obama but after the double-teaming, nasty finger-pointing of Bill Clinton, it left a bad impression of the Clintons.
I'm not surprised Obama won the South Carolina primary.
I'm glad to hear of Caroline Kennedy's endorsement.

I support Obama.

A nice smile with an intelligent conversation. Well educated and well adjusted to American culture. It's the lies hiding deep in his heart and the knife hiding behind him that we must be concerned about. Killing you with a smile using a weapon or using constitutional law is no different. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. If you think otherwise, than they probably will hit your home first.

Oh Caroline...my family is so disappointed in your endorsement...our country cannot be run on inspiration alone, go to church for inspiration. Our country needs the most intelligent leaders to govern and straighten this mess out. I told an undecided friend the other day....what would happen if Obama couldn't speak...well enough said....I want a doer not someone that blows smoke up my skirt.....the republicans know they can beat Obama...I guess you want them to steal another election?

Australia loves Obama

Fired up ready to go !

Good to see our American brothersheading back on the right course !

OBAMA 08

thank you caroline.lets take a moment of silence for the 4000 troops we have lost in a war that has brought the economy down.obama is the right guy of change.i voted for clinton twice but his/her behavour is terrible.i rather not vote if she is the norminee .anybody who voted for J. MacCain is insane.we lost 4000 men and u are not thinking about that........

Best of luck Obama

Caroline Kennedy is a person of great integrity, dignity and intelligence. I admire the way she has chosen to live her life and raise her family out of the spotlight and maelstrom that is the US political process.

It is a moment for celebration hearing the news of Caroline’s endorsement of Barack Obama.

THANK YOU, CAROLINE!!

People, please, your English is deplorable! Guess that's why we have Bush in the White House.

Oh yes Caroline, Barack Obama is certainly inspirational, but not like John Kennedy . . . more like Jim Jones.

I can't beleive they allow rasist to comment on this site. Ann you go and vote for who ever you want, but let it be from your thinking, not your color of skin. This a shame that people still have these thoughts in there mind. I look at people and only see human beings such as I.

Thank you Caroline.

Hillary does not need a Kennedy to endorse her. Bill Clinton is the most valuable endorser. Obama needed Bill Clinton's endorsement in his run as Illinois senator. If will be the nominee, who will endorse him? Do you think the millions of Clinton fanatics will go out and vote for Obama? Nope, they will stay home or vote for Republican specially if McCain is the nominee.

Watch Hillary start using a lot of Obama's words from his speeches now. How can she say she is for change when she has already been in the WH with her husband for 8 years. Exactly what change are they going to be able to bring.
I for one certainly do not want to go back to the 90's and I am not saying that Bill didn't do some good for the country but it is now 2008 and times have changed and so have the American people
It is time for Barack Obama

OBAMA.. Your no Kucinich, but I like you and support you. Please give Dennis a cabinet level position and seek the highest level of decency and moral courage you're capable of! Congratulations!

For Caroline to make such a profound statement regarding the similarites between her father and Obama are sincere. Congradulations Mr. Obama. I'm also glad to know that I live in a counrty where people are not always influence by the color of skin. I like reading messages where people of other races are supporting Obama. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr would be happy about that.

To Devan Lewis. Just hearing what you had to say about Obama getting you off the streets is a wake up call to everyone. We have to believe that Obama is the one, as Oprah so eloquently put it. My congratulations to you Devan Lewis. Keep on believing in your dreams and you will achieve them, just like Obama.
Obama is amazing and I have never ever been a political person in my life but I just cannot seem to get enough of watching and listening and reading about him. He inspires so many of us and I am proud to be a supporter of his.

Billary is a smart woman don't get me wrong, but she is annoying as she can be. I just don't like the sound of her harping voice. I don't like how I feel when I hear her voice. I honestly don't believe we will see much of change from her administration, IF, she get's elected. I see true change coming from Obama. The republicans – McCain is a good man, but he is from the same mold of Bush, God 4 more years of that – Lord no, please.
To all of the 55 and older crew, get over it, it's a new era. We won't stand for the ways of the past to hinder our future.

Thanks so much for your kind words Caroline. God Bless you

I'm Canadian and loved JFK and agree whole heartedly with Caroline Kennedy. Barack Obama could be a president like her father John. The first time I heard Obama speak I thought he had that Kennedyesque quality. He has the ability to inspire you to greater things.
And after all JFK did for race issues wouldn't he have been pleased to see a black man running and possibly becoming the President of the United States.
If we could vote Obama would definately have my vote.
Yes You Can Barack.............................

Obama 20008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Caroline! Being initially a Clinton supporter I got turned off by Billary racial strategy the last few days. It is disgusting and tells me of the rotten nature of the Clintons. I'm voting for Obama on Feb. 5.

JFK HAD 14 YEARS IN THE SENATE BEFORE HE RAN... HAD HIS FATHER BOUGHT THE ELECTION FOR HIM JUST LIKE OPRAH DID FOR OBAMA

This enforsement is huge from Caroline Kennedy and I love how she says, "A President like my Father" Wow, that is fantastic. I don't think there is anyone out there that didn't love JFK and if you come back to this blog and say you didn't then I know you are lying.
Way to go Obama. You deserved this win and in the process you kicked Hillary's you know what.
Listening to his speech was absolutely amazing. There is no one like him that can get this country back to greatness and unite us all.
I believe and you should too. Change your vote before it is too late.
Yes We Can, Yes We Can

ALL YOU OBAMATRONS CAN RELAX... JESSE JACKSON WON BOTH IN 1984 AND 1988 AND STILL LOST THE NOMINATIONS.... DON'T GLOAT JUST YET

Caroline endorsed Obama. Bobby Kennedy Jr. endorsed Hillary. Too bad Caroline and Bobby are not the ones running for President!

Caroline Kennedy thank you for your lovely words -

"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."

Your father would be proud that you have chosen the only candidate to fulfill your father's dream for the presidency Barack Obama '08.
Obama is the future the Clinton's have upset many with their dirty old
politics against Obama. We need to move forward Obama is clearly the
only candidate who has what it takes to unite America and create the
necessary changes we all seek for a bright new tomorrow our children
will all be proud of.

Can we bring our troops home now?

Obama represents the best future for us as American- Young, old, white, Blacks and the rest of the world! People like Obama and JFK are rare to comeby. Now that we have another JFK, we got to support him to help us re-shape American future for the better

A president for all ages, creeds and races! I belive in him, is the most honest politic that I've ever seen.

Obama '08 !!!

I dont know why the Clinton suporters have so much hate and venom about this. If she had endorsed Billary you would have been beside yourselves with glee! If what you say is true and endorsements dont mean anything then move on to the next article. To say she has no right to say Obama reminds her of her father is typical of sore losers and the people who want to bring everyone down. Kennedy and Obama are about lifting people up and some people will NEVER understand that!!!

Obama 08

Surely She [Caroline] Jests!!

OBAMA IS NOOOOOOO JFK.

Time for a reality check.

VOTING HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2008.

I hope no one takes this personal, but there isn't much substance to this whole change thing. I'm a Obama fan, but I'm concerned he'll be exposed for lacking true change. I just don't want to spend all my time and energy to be disappointed.

with 80% of the African-American vote, which was over 50% of the total vote, that means he had 40% or more even if not one single Caucasian person voted for him. with the other 60% split in some way for the other two, he couldn't lose unless he ran down the street naked or something. but the national vote isn't 50% African-American, more like 12%. so he doesn't start with a 40% lead, just under a 10 percent lead (80% of 12%). he needs the rest from Caucasians, Hispanics, etc. It's a long way from 10% to a majority and getting less than a quarter of the non-African-American votes (1/4 of 88% = 22%) won't do it.

Will Ron Paul win the Republican nominee? NO

Who do the Republican want to run against? THE CLINTONS

Who are the Republican afraid to run against? BARACK OBAMA

Who can bring this country together, hope and real change? BARACK OBAMA

Thank Caroline, and I respect your choice and I always love and respect your father and your family and what they stand in American.

That's great, in fact I am a fan of Obama. But with the presence of the US Electoral College, does anyone's vote really matter?

If only Hillary can explain her 35 years of experience. Shame, Shame, Shame.

Caroline Kennedy, i like but nobody will follow her endorsement. She's nothing compared to the Clintons.

If Ted Kennedy endorses Obama, this would drive away moderates democrats and independents

The attraction he still has on the elderly Kennedy Clan admirers would be useless, as these already in their majority were aupporting Hillary anyway.

FYI--

RFK's son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed Sen. Clinton.

RFK's daughter, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend has endorsed Sen. Clinton.

Now Caroline's endorsement.........

The official score is now: Hillary 2
Obama 1

Hilary's two-faced, completely. Barack has a freshness to him I Haven't seen in a long time. I hope people will wisen up and not fall for her tricks.

And yes, this comes from a non-black female, thank you very much.

In other news, Caroline = Obama girl?

Thats was the biggest butt-whooping that anyone done got. Nasty politics will continually fail.

Obama! 08

i am writing on a wii, let's see how this works. go Obama!

Wow! For those of who don't believe that this endorsement will help Obama, you're in denial.

Obama '08!

I am so thrilled that Caroline Kennedy endorsed my candidate Barack Obama! I loved her mother, father and brother. I believe that her endorsement means very very much to many Obama supporters like me. Thank you Caroline!!!!!!!!!!
Go Obama!
Mom for Obama

"We need a change in the leadership of this country..." If last week's Bill & Hillary show has shown us anything, it is that we need a real change.

I'm very happy for this endorsement. We are voting for OBAMA. This nation needs a change. Enough of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton pattern. There's no change on that. Yes to OBAMA!

I can't believe the obvious "sour grapes" displayed here by some people. To insinuate that Caroline Kennedy would not know who is most like her father is ridiculous. She is free to endorse whomever she wants. Why disrespect such
an important person with such an eloquent (beautiful) endorsement?

This endorsement is very powerful and speaks volumes to anyone doubting Senator Obama.

Thank you Caroline Kennedy for such a meaningful endorsement and beautiful letter.

Wow! That's a great endorsement from Caroline Kennedy. I'm beginning to jump on this Obama bandwagon.

What a great endorsement for Mr. Obama!

OBAMA'08 and a nation united ... we still will disagree but this time the American People will stay awake after the November election – and together we will get things done ! THIS is the American Way !

I reject the Clintonian's style of lies, fraud and disception !! This is history in the making, this is our chance !!

OBAMA'08 or DEFEAT'08 !

I'll send another contribution to Barack Obama's campaign ! It's important for me that I can tell my kids when they grow up that I stood on the right side and I supported Obama's vision with my vote and financial contributions !

Kansas City, MO

Billary is too in dept to people and corporations (watch Mike Moore's Movie Sicko), she has depts to pay and has plans to use this country as her personal piggy payback bank! She owe's big... her husband was not the only receiving "favors" while he was in Washington. She ran around while her hubby was in office making promises and deals she is trying so desperately to keep. But we won't let you Billary! Even with that ice cold face we see right through you.

Obama's the right person for the job...and inside the Billary's know it! If Billary weren't running she'd be supporting him too!

Dear Billary,
What will you so when all those under the desk...oops under the table deals you did come to light?

Dear Obama,
Keep your vision on the goal....Billary's tactics are only there to prey on the weak minded Americans that think Billary's heart will melt. Sorry to inform you all...niether her face nor her heart will melt. And that's the truth.

On another note...good for you Caroline...good for you Obama...good for us America!

This is someone who would not use the name of John F. Kennedy lightly. I hope America listens. We need Obama now. Don't throw this opportunity away.

JFK was one of the great leaders of our nation and was respected by many then and now. Bill Clinton was also a very well respected President then and now. People have said so many bad things about Bill Clinton. I wonder if any of them can say, Marilyn Monroe. We all make personal mistakes, Bill Clinton and yes, JFK.

Yes, I'll second Jon's question:
"I still yearn for someone to explain to me how Hillary's 8 years serving as first lady is better experience than Obama's experience as a State Senator, Senator, Community Organizer and Civil Rights and Constitutional Lawyer. Please. Anybody? Hillary's experience and Barack's lack thereof are myths."

Jon, there's not a good answer. That's why you're not getting one.

Thank you Caroline.

Caroline always was the loonny one

WHO IS CAROLINE KENNEDY? A HUMAN BEING LIKE ME. HER VOICE IS NOT THE VOICE OF AMERICA

HER ENDORSEMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY VOTE. THAT IS HER CHOICE. SHE CANNOT MAKE MINE FOR ME. I MAKE MY OWN DECISION.

He reminds me of my father as well.

Obama 2008 !

Sad thing is Obama might suffer the same fate like her father (JFK) and uncle (Robert Kennedy).

That is one thing that America does have. A history of repeating itself.

I agree. I find Barak Obama to be a very exciting candidate with some fresh ideas. I like his plan for health care and I believe his stand on Iraq is solid. I agree with Caroline Kennedy. Not since John F Kennedy has there been a person who has come on the stage whom I felt could turn this country around.

What a special person Caroline Kennedy to announce her endoresement of Senator Obama. What great news. This had made my day....

Go Barack Obama.

THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS SEEM TO BE VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS ENDORSEMENT. ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. IF ENDORSEMENTS REALLY MEAN NOTHING AND DON'T DETERMINE WHO YOU WILL VOTE FOR, THEN WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO RILED UP?

JFK was the Democrats's Reagan. I think endorsements are stupid, but this is huge, just short of JFK coming back to life and doing it personally

Is cnn going to address that in the republican debate tim russert ask rommney if he would go back to 1983 of regan it's clear someone gave him the answer cnn pls don't let this go unchallenge

somebody gave him the answer the debate is riged

Caroline, it is obvious you are hooked on Demoral.
