I wonder if Kennedy will introduce him as he did two years ago: Osama Bin, uh, uh, Osama Obama, uh, uh, Barack Obama.

When are the Kennedy's gonna announce their McCain endorsement?

This is quite beautiful.

Kennedy's daughter supports Obama and now Teddy. Obama is going to win this baby!!

Good to hear ole Teddy is on board the Bama Train. Proves this candidate is able to pull together a coalition of many. It's about the FUTURE, Hillary, and you ain't it.

For many Democrats/liberals this is the tipping point in the election. The delegate lead is 15 for Obama and he's going to upset Clinton.

At this rate, it's beginning to look like it is Obama who is the candidate of the Democratic establishment. I mean, you don't get much more "establishment" than the Kennedy family. Obama has garnered a slew of endorsements lately. I'm not sure this is such a good thing for Obama, however, as there could be a bit of a "pile on" effect in evidence, and as Hillary starts to look like the "scrappy underdog" bravely trying to win despite the enormous forces (mostly men, I might add) arrayed against her. I mean, you can't get much more misogynistic than Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy.

If any republican race-baited or used code language as much as the Clintons, there would be rallies and marches across the USA. How do the Clinton's get a way with it?

Super Tuesday will decide everything, and these are open primary races. Hillary is going to win and I'll tell you why. In open primaries, I, as a Republican, can actually vote for Hillary. This is done all the time.. You can expect millions of Republicans to vote for Hillary in these open primary states. Obama is going to lose badly.

Obama is so classy. Even after the disgusting gutter politics that the Clinton's played, he still refuses to sling mud. Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if Obama had made a bunch of sexist remarks? We don't need Clinton's brand of trailer park politics in the White House again.

You can expect millions of Republicans to vote for Hillary in these open primary states.

Now that's comedy!

John Edwards is the Ralph Nader (Spoiler) in 2008. Selfish, self-centered; does nothing for uniting Democrats. People like John “Spoiler” Edwards beginning to look more and more like Bill Clinton: Saying and doing anything to get elected, no matter what the people or results indicate.

Give'em Hell Obama! Lord know the RIGHT kind of Changeis coming...

With Ted Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy endorsing Obama "because he is more like JFK" is totally wrong! I well remember JFK and voted for him, but he was no Obama, or for that matter, John Kennedy was no Ted Kennedy. Sure Obama has the media frenzy and the youngsters all wrapped up with him, but JFK had a REAL cause...and that was outright discrimination against blacks that existed at the time. Other than that, he was a hawk militarily, believed in strong family values, a Christian and most of all would qualify as a conservative in today's political beliefs.
Obama on the other hand, represents a far left democratic party that supports liberal policies that John Kennedy NEVER would have promoted (eg gay narriage). JFK was a man of substance with beliefs that changes had to be made, and he did it, civil rights...and it's done. Barak Obama is a man of 'no change' when you break down his political philosphy. If he had come out and said, okay ,we are going to fix the Social Security System, Medicare, unfair tax plan..that would be 'change' and then we would be talking about a JFK. Obama is no JFK !

It does make you wonder "Where are the corresponding Clinton endorsements?". I keep coming back to a line someone used about John Kerry, namely "He had no real friends in the Senate". Sure there were people who worked with him, like we all do with co-workers, but few who were willing to put their reputation on the line to endorse him publically.

In spite of the carefully-crafted "hardworking" image, could her fellow senators really view Hillary as just a "stepping stone" senator with an unfair advantage in Bill? Everyone in that club fancies themself a president-in-waiting and as petty as it sounds, this could be payback from a lot of people who still remember being hung out to dry defending a lying Bill Clinton.

There is NO WAY in He$# that ANY Republican would vote for the Hill.
Ever.

I read Caroline Kennedy's comments and they are absolutely wonderful.

I thought that Ted Kennedy was supporting that ultra left wing Liberal Democrat John McCain. McCain has Joe Lieberman, The New York Times, La Raza, MALDEF and dozens of illegal alien groups backing him against Hillary.

THIS IS A GREAT DAY. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT SIX YEARS SINCE I HAVE FELT SUCH PATRIOTIC PRIDE. GO AMERICA AND GO OBAMA! MY HEART BELONGS TO BOTH OF YOU.

There Teddy goes, getting in over his head again.....

too bad so many Democrats are getting caught up in the Obama frenzy.
Let's face it Obama is not JFK and this is not the 60s.

We are in a complex global political structure. Obama doesn't have the substance, he may have charisma to sway the crowds but not world leaders. I am not willing to gamble on on-the-job training and will vote Republican if I have to get the substance I am looking for in a leader.
Shame on Democrats for falling for political strategy.

Obama should accept the endorsement, but not accept a ride from Kennedy if a bridge is on the way.

So now that South Carolina is over and the Obama people have stopped screeching “racism“….What exactly did the Clintons actually say about Obama? They questioned Obama’s shifting positions on Iraq, his sometimes spotty voting record in Illinois, and his ties to crooked Syrian wheeler-dealer Tony Rezko. They said that MLK didn’t fight the whole civil rights revolution by himself, and they called out a reporter for falsely accusing the Clintons of racism.

Obama implied that the Republicans have had all the ideas and the Clinton administration didn‘t have any -- and then Obama was shocked, shocked that the Clintons reacted to that!

That’s it. That’s why everybody from the Obama to John Kerry is screaming that the Clintons are on a mudslinging racist jihad against Obama, and neocons are actually hollering that we should apologize to them for questioning their attacks on the Clintons -- “see, we were right all along!” What hogwash. There was nothing even remotely racist in what the Clintons said. Sorry, folks, but the Clintons are allowed to do this -- since when are candidates not allowed to criticize the other guy‘s record, and respond to personal attacks?

Compare what the Clintons actually said, to the 15 years of Republican smears against the Clintons, the six-on-one hammering Clinton got in the October debate, the two months of pounding Hillary has taken in the media, and of course the endless lies and smears against the Clintons right here in this forum. For that matter, look at McCain and Romney screeching “liar!” at each other all across new Hampshire. This Obama stuff is nothing. A tempest in a teaspoon.

Everyone forgets the stuff that came before, in this race: while the Clintons were actually defending Obama regarding attacks on the Muslim allegations, and declined to exploit the fact that Obama ally Louis Farrakhan started attacking the Clintons (which any real racist would have responded to)….while Hillary was going easy on Obama, Obama’s team was claiming Hillary was responsible for the murder of Benazir Bhutto.

Democrats are wising up. We have affectionate memories of the Clintons. But seeing the reality-- a cackling, drawling, two-headed, red-faced, out-of-touch married couple-- reminds us of so much we never liked about them. Obama has integrity. He's honest and down to earth. He'll be a phenomenal leader for our country and the world.

Ted Kennedy has been a friend of the Clintons for many years. After watching Hillary and Bill Clinton distort Obama's record, Ted Kennedy decided to endorse Obama over Clinton. We simply cannot go back to the polarizing years of the 90's that led to democrats loosing both houses of congress. Bill will be too much of a problem in Hillary administration. It is about time the Clintons' political dominance of the democratic party be cut-off once and for all. Alelujaj! God has finally said enough is enough and both the Bush/Clinton dynasty must come to an end. They cannot push the United States into a monarchy by inheritance; the United States is a democracy.

Ted K. endorsing Obama? Hmmm Could this be a Clinton tactic to repel potential Republican crossovers? So many Republicans have a visceral dislike of Kennedy that his endorsement of Obama will be a turn-off for many Republicans.

Obama is not going to win. Clinton leads by a 2 to 1 advantage when you factor in the superdelegates. Geez you Obama fans are setting yourselves up for NH part 2. Clinton will extend her lead on Super Tuesday. I'll agree with Caroline Kennedy, that Obama is most like JFK--that he is unexperienced and not ready for the job.

Senator Kennedy has positioned himself to be a wise old liberal Democrat. His forthcoming endorsement of Senator Obama is good news to this observer, who intends to vote for Senator Obama.

Please put forth to both Senator Obama and his antagonist the following question: Are you prepared to deny a run for the vice presidency, if you are not your party's' presidential nominee? Also, as an addendum, ask the same about service in their primary opponent's administration.

Cordially, Nelle

Western European-model socialist democracy, here we come.

Soon Mommy Government will be there to make everything fair so we don't have to try too hard, and all those greedy meanies who believe in self-reliance, effort and achievement will be punished.

Long live the Proletariat!

Being a Southern Democrat living in California now, I am so proud that the Democratic Party is actually considering Obama as its nominee. How particularly revolutionary, how paradigm changing. Well, I guess it's time to brush the scabs off of our political eyes and believe in the promise of America again. Imagine that.

This is huge. Ted is still the big man on campus among the Democratic establishment. His endorsement speaks volumes. Hillary is on the ropes folks.

This is a turn off to me.

This is quickly becoming a Bigger Joke!

Ted Kennedy - a drunk, a criminal and a career politician! And a politician that had his girlfriend with him along his campaign trail! This is suppose to be good for Obama???

Caroline Kennedy - She drew parallels to her father's career! First of all..many question Monica and Bill, but how about JFK and Marilyn Monroe...it was certainly a continuous romp! Secondly, How much do you think a little 5-6 year old girl can remember about her father's political office? Yes, that is how old she was when our beloved JFK was killed!

And the recent talks about the comparison of Obama to MLK.... Yes...MLK was a great hero for many...but how many women did he do along the road of freedom. Historical documents proved he was a major hump master, that is why today New Hampshire still won't recognize MLK but only until recently when they proclaimed a Civil Rights Day!

I still Love and respect JFK & MLK...for their leadership and helping this country move forward!

Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and most of the current candidates are not leaders nor do they have the experience nor ability to get this Great Country out of it's current situation!

I did not agree with the Republicans that Bill Clinton having sex at the White House with Monica Lewinsky amounted to high crimes and misdeamenor. It is fair to say that the Clintons are dysfunctional and degraded and did harm to the White House and the Presidency. Again, as an ex-President, Bill Clinton has shown great propensity for lying and we do recall that committed perjury while in office. Hillary Clinton is not different from Bill in the way she tells lies and distorts Obama's records to get elected. Why are the Clintons trying so hard to get into the White House again? They are eggregiously and morally unfit to lead this nation and the world. The world is watching America's prevarication and double standard with regard to the Clintons. America has many talented politicians and it is time to let the Clintons go. Hillary can stay in the United States Senate where her skills can be useful. Her arrogance in displaying a sense of entitlement to the Presidency is shocking. America keep the Clintons out of the White House. Enough is enough. They are still lying and distorting. Please, let them go. The whole world is watching America.

Wow! This is the biggest endorsement in the primaries. What does this say about the Clintons when their closest friends and people that know him best are against them. Think about it. This is a huge blow for them, and I think every voter should consider that when they're making their decision.

There is a lot of debate on Experience vs.Change in this election. But the most important issue before any of that shoud be a question of Character. Clintons don't have it and Obama does.

Wow obama so played the race card, in fact if you watch the deabates Clinton attacks Obama's policies but he along with Michelle turned it into race. I guess he wants affirmative action in politics as well. If Obama gets the Dem nod I guess this is the first time I am voting Republican and happily because I really like McCain and Rommney they represent the moderate politics we need.

Anyone who can't see Obama is the only choice to clean up Washington is dumb. And if you think Clinton(s) is/are the way to go, you are even less smart. Hillary is herself indebt to other nations..why the hell would we want to vote her in with all her special interests, etc...o m g, I hope America is smart and votes Obama, he can inspire America to work hard like we used to.

The words which Caroline Kennedy found to express her endorsement of Barack Obama could not be more sincere, simple, and moving. I noted the fact she mentions her teenage children are inspired by Obama as well. I appreciate she shares with us their sentiments because as she writes in her closing remarks " I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."
Powerful stuff!

Obama is no JFK, but what the hell JFK was not the JFK we imagine to have existed.
In reality he really did nothing as president except get us all killed by his lack of experience.
There was no such thing as Camelot. This was a term coined years after his death.
He was disliked by at least 50% of the population at the time he died. The liberals wrote his legacy and the conservatives were to kind in death to correct them. He was simply a man, just like all the rest with all of our weaknesses. Obama is just another guy that sounds good and glib with his answers.
If the simple people want to make him a hero so be it.

When I saw Bill shaking his finger AGAIN it brought back some pretty bad memories......
I pray Obama wins.

A change is a-coming!
Yes, we have HOPE. May Barack inspire all Americans to unite and invite participation in getting us back on track.
I am a 50 year old white, educated, independent woman and Obama is the first candidate to get me this inspired, since I was old enough to vote. BRING IT ON!

Correction:
ALMOST get us killed.

Hillary Clinton would be the best President; stop all the propanganda against her. She's the only one who can clean up the mess that the Republicans created. I hope the people stop this slime against her and vote fo the only one who can really help the American people.

Watch out Obama, don't get in the car with Teddy boy.

The reaity is that this is very very significant. For Ted Kennedy to come out and endorse Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton is truly amazing. This signifies a major seismic shift inside the Democratic establishment. I suspect there will be more to follow. Obama can win this thing.

Let's see the Clinton camp (or anyone else) try and tie this in with Jesse Jackson. Whether Hillary or Barack wins this thing, it isn't likely to do a whole lot in the long run to change this country for the better politically. But already, it's changing for the better socially.

I had the Clintons figured out the first time I ever saw them. Now, the American public is emerging from their long somnambulastic stupor and finding out that...SURPRISE!...you've been had, Baby! Whenever either Clinton move their lips you know it's a lie. What a refreshing change we have in Mr. Obama..the successor to JFK, RKF and MLK. What magic he weaves and how great he will be - a uniter at last - an inspiration to a suffering, divided nation. Under the Clintons we would only be more divided. Obama is the man for this season, this generation. Now, we need Bobby Kennedy, Jr. to run for Senate in his dad's old seat. It's a new day, America. Rejoice...

It'd be nice to fantasize the dems and left-leaning are waking up to those two aging grifters... but there are too many interest blocks who see their fate tied up with them to risk it with OB-1, who is talented but mostly believes in the warmed over 60's-70's. I fear the worst for this country...

At an earlier time in our political history, a Kennedy endorsement would have been compelling. I feel that the Kennedys, while beloved among older Democrats such as myself, no longer have that power.

My own judgment is that Obama has made himself the "black candidate." He organized his campaign in SC as the black favorite son, he campaigned that way, he and his surrogates attacked the Clintons from a racial stance, and he won as the black candidate. Nearly every black voter voted for him; he only attracted a small minority of whites.
White Democrats do not disdain African Americans. But Obama cut us out in SC. He had nothing to say to whites. And his demonizing the two most powerful white Democratic advocates for black rights and aspirations as knuckle-dragging bigots, is deeply resented. Obama is in the fire now.

tom,

I hope you live in the same world I do.
Expect the Republicans to vote for Hillary?
Was that a joke?

Caroline must be going into senility early. Obama is no John Kennedy! He is so wet behind the ears our country would probably be worse off with him being president.

Heaven forbid if he follows the lead of the Republ....er..Democratic Congress!They are total wimps.

I have listen to Obama a lot. His only idea is how to attack Hilary. He has no new ideas and he has no experience, and quite frankly, he's alienated a lot of Democrats!

Definitely good news for Obama, as the Kennedy's endorsement actually means something in Mass. As far as Republicans crying that Bill Clinton is "getting away with race-baiting" when a Republican would not, Clinton is NOT getting away with race-baiting. I was going to support Hillary until she and Bubba began making this thing racial. Racial politics is what Republicans do -- not good progressives. The Clintons are now a thing of the past. Obama's got my vote.

Finally we are starting to see a shift in the Dem party in favor of meeting in the middle with both Independents and Republicans. The only way we can get important changes made in this country is if WE do it together as ONE unified voice. I'm so proud to be a part of this people powered movement which shows at its very core "we no longer are willing to accept politics as usual or slash and burn tactics." We are beginning to see that HOPE in our country, in each other and in a visionary leader really is the way to greet our future.

I truly do not know what the hell Barack Hussein Obama has for real experience that can do anything but be an excellent speaker! His presenation is A+ but the substance is F-.

His race, religion and ties to questionable sources will be an easy target for the Republicans! He has no political strength, no military experience, only two years in Washington and no hope of getting elected! Please don't say that John Kerry & Ted Kennedy are strengths... THEY JUST DRINK AT THE SAME SALOON!

His win in SC was merely a race vote! If you don't agree...just wait for the upcoming primaries!

I also don't believe the Clintons are the answer either!

There are No True Candidates This Year!

I think the concern within the Democratic establishment is that if Hillary is the nominee, she will lose. She will inspire the demoralized Republicans like nothing else. Also, many moderate Democrats and independents will be so discouraged by a Hilary nomination that they will vote Republican, third party or simply not vote. Another issue will be a probable Hillary "negative coat-tail" factor for any Democrats up for reelection. Hillary is a risk the Democrats cannot afford to take.

While I am honestly not a fan of Sen Kennedy or any of the other Democratic Senators endorsing Sen Obama, I congratulate them for leaving the sphere of the mighty Clintons believe the Presidency is their sole domanin. There must be change and change from the Clinton's. Bill does everything possible to bring race into this campaign, they are not really for minorities. Wake up America.

Clinton comments seemed like a thinly veiled attempt to focus attention on Obama as the "black" candidate to me. Didn't like it. Most of us are way beyond that.

Do those who criticize Obama as a superficial inexperienced candidate think Bush was elected twice because of his experience and sharp intellect? Obama's experience and intellect far surpass what's been in the white house for 7 years. Bill Clinton wasn't exactly the most "experienced" candidate either.

I'm afraid Republicans will hold their nose and vote for Hilary. I wanted to vote for Edwards but at this point I think he should seriously reconsider his role in this race. He won't want to become the spoiler. It's time to get out from behind our computers and step towards what we want. Vote with our actions. There's plenty to do in the next few days. I know whose website I'm going to for where to hook in!

Hilary has been consistent in her support of the distorted ambitions of the worst president in the history of this country. Her Iraq vote and her Iran bandwagon statements tell me her experience is in politics, not leadership. I simply don't trust her. I'd rather gamble on the guy who has consistently taken the high road.

Is it super Tuesday yet? I'm just ready for it to come and give Hillary the victory that will shut the Obama cultists down.

I think that republicans will have a harder time against Obama than Clinton. With her they know exactly what buttons to press and how to press them (especially if it's McCain they choose), and they are already starting to do so. With him it's a whole new meat with his vision and the way he talks.

Don't worry Hillary fans, she will soon get endorsed by another high-profile liberal ... John McCain!

After reading the comments by Hillary supporters, is it any suprise that people with a higher level of education support Barack Obama.
Republicans are salivating at the chance to go head-to-head against Billary. They only need to highlight her negatives and focus on Lewinski to win the White House.
As for the racists who continue to spread crap (like niggermania) I truly feel sorry for you as you are obviously scared little men.

It is official--I have now become a strong, ABC. Anybody But Clinton. Please someone tell Bill he ran his race and for an ex President to be acting the way he is, is disgraceful. As A Democrat I am angry at the lies and more lies.

Maybe Obama should also consider a 3rd party candidacy if the Clintons Machine denies him. Democrats Yes---Clinton.NO

Uh--- he may have flipflopped his issues over the past four years, and he may not be the best guy for the job. But John Edwards has run a consistant, principled campaign.

And while I admire Obama's message of unity, it's Edwards who has delivered the most progressive message, and touched on the actual problems facing America today.

I'm an undecided observer at this point, waiting on Super Tuesday. But I've been defending Edwards quite a bit, of late, because he's been right on target. My reservations, however, hinge on a nearly Obamaesque lack of experience, and evidence of bad judgment in the record he has.

Hard to see how he's a "spoiler" in any way though.

Endorsements are patronizing. I have my own mind and don't need Caroline Kennedy or Ted Kennedy telling me who I believe is right for leading this country. Obama has NO substance to stand behind his enticing speeches. JFK was the polar opposite to this guy. His speeches were strongly supported by the actions he took, and the changes he tried to make to better this country. No candidate in this race, particularly not OBAMA, who doesn't vote, or votes "present" on issues, can be compared fairly to JFK, who backed his words with actions. OBAMA stands for nothing.

Looks like the Chicago Daley machine is calling it its chits for delivering the 1960 election to Kennedy. Lets get the crooks and crum bums out of our politics!

You Democrats crack me up. Previous poster accurately stated that if a Republican made similar comments, they would be lynched by the media/special interest groups. As your liberal selves this: Why is it that democrats can behave so poorly and NOT be called out? Answer: It's what is expected of them. For that reason, you will get the vile, sewer queen that all of you love and deserve. Obama may speak well and carry himself in a classy way, but that's not what the democratic party is all about. They are about the Clinton slime, Kennedy drunken cover-ups, Kerry flip-flops, Edwards legal money, and the Gore global BS.

Obama is actually the spoiler of this election. Let's face it even if he can win the nomination of his party he will never win the general election and we will be stuck another four years with a republican.

Ted Kennedy is the unspoken head of the Democratic Party, and he is endorsing the least qualified candidate in the race, Obama, over an experienced, qualified female candidate, Hillary.

Now that a woman is the best qualified candidate, qualifications no longer matter. It's sexist and insulting.

The Democrats think that women will just fall in line, but not this woman. My first choice is Hillary and then Edwards.

Or I will stay home in November.

and you think Hillary will win? It will never happen. Draft Biden or someone but Obama has the better chance in a general election than MR Hillary

Thanks BJ for the Obama history walk.

The finger pointing at the disgraceful Ted Kennedy bridge tragedy is ridiculous next to the Bush legacy.
weakening of Habeas Corpus (foundation of Western Civilization, in case you didn't know),
violations of 4th, 8th amendment (torture, illegal wiretapping),
deliberate lying to get us into war (and don't forget thousands of American deaths and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis)
abuse of executive privilege (secrets, not answering subpoenas)......

Sorry, don't have time to list just how disgusting our current leadership is to the American Democracy I thought I was living in. McCain would be more of the same. He's no maverick. Hilary and McCain are pals.

Go Obama.

Forty years ago in 1967 Carl B. Stokes was elected the first black Mayor of a major American City. I was the operations manager of that campaign along with my partner Geraldine Williams. In 1965, Stokes had run and almost won in a city that was 70% white and 30% black. In 1965 he had come so close to winning that there was a recount. His victory in 67 was hailed as one the greatest moments in the civil rights struggle and also a triumph of the brotherhood of man. Partially, yes----partially, no. In the 1965 campaign there were practically no white votes for Stokes. In 67 there was only 15%. Not exactly a triumph for the brotherhood of man. In fact, in 1965 I was his "white" aide and traveling companion to show not only the white community, but just as importantly the black community that he had white support. Many in the black community said "it's not time"---he's not ready---will he win and bring disgrace to the community---will he be killed by the racists" Do these same sentiments sound familiar in 2007?

Also, in 1965 he was up against a potent political machine, one that regularly "bought off" members of the black community. There were city councilman and black pastors all of whom had ties to the white establishment. Sound familiar in 2007? In both 1965 and 1967 it was the black community that turned out in large numbers and then voted 97% for Stokes. He still lost in 1965 because some of the black vote was disaffected by the councilman and pastors but it was so close that in 1967 and with the blessing of the establishment he won----but by a very small margin. Again, it was the black turnout and overwhelming percentage vote in his favor that carried the day.

How does Barack Obama's campaign of 2007 differ from those two campaigns of long ago? He is running against the establishment (the Clinton machine) and there are black "leaders" that are staying with this establishment. Polls are showing that many in the black community are saying the same things that they said in 1965-----it's not time---he's not ready---he will be killed if he is elected. Are these sentiments carried down through time going to defeat him in 2007? Here is the reason that the campaigns are not alike. The white support for Obama is huge compared to the white support for Stokes forty years ago. Who would have dreamed then that a black man running for the President of the United States could garner such white support, attract such crowds, and be so close to winning. I see campaign crowds I see a sea of white faces cheering him and I see a much different time than that of 1965 & 1967.

Following is an example from the 1965 campaign. It shows how extraordinary the idea of a black mayor (there are now hundreds) was to the black community at that time. The last weekend before the election we had a parade through the streets of the East Side of Cleveland. It wasn't much of a parade, as parades go, a handful of cars with balloons and banners on the them, horns honking, people waving, and Carl and is wife sitting on the back of the last car. I was in the front seat As the caravan pulled past the corner, there was a small boy about ten or eleven standing in the middle of a group of children. The cars had been going past honking with signs "Stokes for Mayor" on the sides. As the car with Stokes sitting on the back came to the corner the boy stood, his eyes widened at the sight of Carl and he cried out, "HE'S COLORED." He started to clap his hands and jump up and down. "HE'S COLORED, HE'S COLORED," he cried out to no one in particular. "HE'S COLORED, HE'S COLORED" and he started to skip down the street after the car. I looked back as the cars picked up speed and left the little boy in the distance. He was still running and clapping his hands. I turned around to Carl and caught a very different expression on his face, part smile and part a distant look in his eyes. "I think it's all been worthwhile," I said. A quick but soft-spoken reply, "Yes, I think you're right." That's how it was back then. A little boy thought, "this couldn't be-----his parents and grandparents thought---could this possibly be? And a city and a nation wondered if history was in the making.

I sometimes wonder where that little boy is now, forty years later. What about his children and grandchildren? Does he remember how he felt that day? Does he remember the wonderment of seeing a black man siting on the top of a convertible, his skipping down the street in that wonderment of a black man striving for the impossible? How do his children and grandchildren feel today? Will they participate in today's "impossible dream"?

Now, forty years later I see the crowds, more white than black, cheering a man of color. Now, forty years later, I see polls showing that this man of color could likely be the next President of the United States. I see now, forty years later, that dreams do come true-------and a little boy of so long ago could still clap, skip down the street and cry out----"He's colored-He's colored---- he's colored. Will the black community support Obama as we Irish Catholics did for John Kennedy in 1960, as the Momons will do for Mitt Romney this year, as every ethnic group has done for their history making candidates since the country began. It is the black vote that can insure victory for Barack Obama. This is the year. This is the time. This is history in the making.

The face of The United States of America is about to change.

I am not sure if Ted Kennedy's endorsement will mean anything. Super Tuesday is very close and Clinton is leading in most polls. Realistically speaking, Kennedy couldn't even win the party's nomination at the heart of his popularity. The Republicans will use this against Obama inthe general election. Not sure if this is good or bad for Obama.

I'm only waiting for Al Gore to endorse Obama, and put the sleezy Clinton Klan out of business. After all, no one knows the Clintons better than he does.

The only republican votes the Clintons are going to get (and I say the Clintons because it's a package deal) are the ones from people with very short memories. The Clintons brought nothing but scandals, lies and deceit to the White House (White Water, Paul and Stan Lee deal, Monica Lewinsky, to name only a few). There's also a recent deal that Bill pulled out of a week ago because he thought it would jeopardize Hillary's chances. I'd like to know about that deal. The only reason why the republicans want Hillary to win the Dem side is because they know they can take her down. This is not about what Hillary want to do for our country. It never has been. What has she done? It's all about her selfish motives and her legacy of being the first woman president. Wake up America! The Clintons and the Bushs are what's wrong in WA. They weren't part of the solutions. They are part of the problems. Hillary seems to think she can boo-hoo every time things aren't going her way and hide behind Bill's coat sleeves when she can't defind herself. Yes, we're ready for a woman president, but not this one! I am an independent voter and I would vote for anyone in the rep party before I vote for her. It's time to put honesty and integrity back in the White House!

The Clinton's genuinely care about no one. They see everyone as a voting block that they can exploit. Now that the black vote is heading to Obama, the Clintons will move on to exploit hispanics by subtly vying blacks against hispanics. They care about power....
