Last Monday, I was very moved to see my uncle, Sen. Edward Kennedy, and my cousin, Caroline Kennedy, publicly endorse Sen. Barack Obama. I thought their statements of support were brave, intelligent and responsible. Given the importance of this election, and the remarkable strength of our candidates, it's not an easy decision for anyone looking to cast a vote for a new direction in this country.

<snip>
Like Senator Clinton, I have no doubt of Senator Obama's commitment to the issues I care about. But, his unique ability to unify this country and transcend partisan gridlock means that we can finally get something done.

In my years making documentaries, I have traveled to remote regions, from small villages in South America, to townships in South Africa, to the hollows of Appalachia. Every trip, every film, I meet people who still keep photographs of my family on their walls. They cry when they meet me, simply because they were touched by my father, Robert Kennedy. In part, this is because my father supported policies and legislation that helped the disenfranchised. But it is also, and perhaps more importantly, because they felt that my father understood their pain. Senator Obama has that quality too. He has an open heart and an energizing spirit.

Recently, my mother, Ethel Kennedy, said of Obama: "I think he feels it. He feels it just like Bobby did. He has the passion in his heart. He's not selling you. It's just him."

7. Most young voters won't even recognise her name. Who cares

who she endorses.

[Faygo Kid]

10. I do, and so do lots of others who remember RFK.

Damn Hillbots won't let up for an instant. Get your damned endorsements in line, "Grammy," and congrats on them. You won't find your kind of nasty post about yours coming from me.

To slam Ethel Kennedy is repulsive.

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Fed_Up_Grammy]

12. Grammy hasn't sanctified the Kennedys,that's what the matter with

me is.

And yes,I remember RFK,even met him once (politically,not socially).That still doesn't mean Ethel has a political opinion that I have to care about.

I like Obama,it's this endorsement that is meaningless to me.
