I just saw Barack Obama graciously hug Ted, Caroline, and Ted's son Patrick Kennedy at the American University in Washington. They all endorse his bid for the Presidency of the US. I am very moved. Obama said that his father could come from Kenya to the US, because John F. Kennedy worked to get Kenyan students to study in the US.
Now he is paying back, because his father passed away, and cannot give back what he enjoyed. I feel this is a historic moment.
Edward F. Kennedy said:
''There was another time, when another young candidate was running for president and challenging America to cross a new frontier. He faced criticism from the preceding Democratic president, who was widely respected in the party,'' Kennedy said, referring to Harry S. Truman.
''And John Kennedy replied, 'The world is changing. The old ways will not do. ... It is time for a new generation of leadership.
''So it is with Barack Obama,'' he added.
The New John F. Kennedy is now Barack Obama!
