Interesting Group at the Wreath Laying in Honor of JFK

[polichick]

Now on msnbc - The Obamas, Clintons, Jack (Caroline's son), Ethel Kennedy and members of her family.

Anyone watching?

1. Yep, also made me tear up, I was living in DC then, went to the funeral procession, etc.

2. I was pleased that they covered it for so long - the interactions were good to see.

3. Definitely, I was thinking the same as I watched. It also looked like Obama was very very

deeply moved. As were the rest. I only went to the Eternal Flame once, just after he was placed there, never went back again, it was just too moving. I though very highly of JFK, the entire times back then. He gave me faith in the political system back then. It felt so upbeat in many ways, like things could be accomplished.

4. I know what you mean - it's as if something evil tried to kill the progress people longed for...

and that battle continues today.

13. Yep, exactly!!! n/t

It was very moving and so sad. Then I was mesmerized at the image of JFK's grandson and asked "who is that tall beautiful young man?" then I heard he was Caroline's son. He is only 20 years old, and plans to enter politics.

6. He's a sweet and humble kid - worked with him and his mom during Obama's first campaign...

but he's sure grown tall since then. Reminds me of his uncle John.

Caroline has done a great job with her kids.

11. He sure does look like his Uncle John.

I wasn't born when JFK was killed, but I remember getting up that Saturday, called my Dad in CT who told me to turn on the news.

Caroline is a class act...she has done a great job.

14. Thanks for posting, I was wondering too, just looking at him and his mannerisms I was

stuck by his seeming charisma and honesty, and wondered who he is.
