Kennedy joins Obama VP search team
Kennedy is joining Obama's VP search team.
(CNN) - Caroline Kennedy has joined Barack Obama's vice presidential selection team, an Obama campaign spokesman said Wednesday.
Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson and former Deputy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder are also serving on the committee.
Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy, formally endorsed Obama late January in a New York Times op-ed piece titled, "A President Like My Father."
"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them," Kennedy wrote then. "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."

Thank you!!!! Find the best person for the job!!!
Excellent and proper move.
Thats GREAT !!! Send the Clintons that VERY CLEAR message that LIFE GOES ON, and they can either play along and support him, or GET OUT OF THE WAY.
wow! Smart intellegent people looking for his VP, then you know the VP would also be a change candidate. Not a candidate with name or usual politics. Exciting!!!!!!!
Obama '08 🙂
The same folks that worked "wonders" for Kerry and Mondale?
ROFLMAO!!!!
Smart. Very smart.
God job Obama you should put Colin Powell on that team also along with Al Gore.
Anybody but Billary
no clinitons
More signs that Clinton, while on the "short list," can probably kiss her chances goodbye.
THEY WILL VETT THE HOPEFULS FULLY AND FAIRLY
WELCOME
YES!
Let's get this VP selection on! No to Hillary!
Now watch... some of her bitter supporters will now threaten that if Hillary is not on Obama's ticket they won't vote!!! (:
Glad I am on the winning team!
Please choose wisely we have faith on you!!!
Excellent move. This is the best way to deal with the Billaryites. More importantly, it is a great way to get the best fit for VP. Good people to help make a good decision.
This is wonderful.
wow, Kennedy will make us proud with the choosing....
What makes Caroline Kennedy an expert on this?
Enough said.
Caroline Kennedy shoud be the VP
CONGRAD MR. PRESIDENT
LET'S MOVE THE COUNTY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Search is over!
Hillary Clinton for VP!
Only Republicans trying to ruin the democrats are aganist the idea.
Just please keep Geraldine Ferraro, James Carville, Joe Scarborough, and worst of all Bob Johnson and that big mouth lady Susan ?-Jones that was yelling in the camera after Saturday's DNC meeting.

If Hillary is to become VP or anyone else for that matter then let the rehearsals begin.
Dems want to see and hear potential VP's jump and chime in whenever the Republican Smear Machine attacks.
this is a beautiful movement
What is it with these old men? Hillary should be vice president if she can't be president. Come on, good old boys (and girls). Hillary is the only choice.
WAIT, Hillary said it isn't over yet!
