It's not surprising to me that Caroline Kennedy has come out and is not only supporting Obama but also is comparing him to her father. When I went to hear Barak speak a few weeks ago I sat next to a man who made the same comparison to Robert Kennedy but he also said Obama had the hopeful feel that the Kennedy brothers were so endeared for. My mom has always been a HUGE Kennedy fan because of coming from Massachusetts and all, but also because she said he really cared about issues that hit home for the average American. This quote from Caroline in the New York Paper is really something I totally agree with.
"There is a generation coming of age that is hopeful, hard-working, innovative and imaginative. But too many of them are also hopeless, defeated and disengaged. As parents, we have a responsibility to help our children to believe in themselves and in their power to shape their future. Senator Obama is inspiring my children, my parents’ grandchildren, with that sense of possibility.
Senator Obama is running a dignified and honest campaign. He has spoken eloquently about the role of faith in his life, and opened a window into his character in two compelling books."
I am looking into getting his books and learning more about him. I have enjoyed following this campagin so early and I know it's a long road ahead til November but, I am thinking he might actually get the Clintons out of the race and I am sorry but that is a good thing because, I don't want the US history books to show, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton- it's time for a change from that routine.

I was watching something... I can't remember what it was but they made the joke that the cycle would go Bush Clinton Bush Clinton Bush (Jeb) and then the cycle would be broken because Jenna Bush beat out Chelsea Clinton... It was quite a funny thing, but yet scary... terrifying in fact...
Seriously, though. Wouldn't that just be our luck. I think I might have to really move to Europe if it begins in November. I am certainly gettin the heck out dodge before Jeb gets in there!!
at the end of this year, we will have had 20 years of bush and clinton... isn't that crazy??? I agree, we must stop this madness at once.
wow, 20 years is a very long time. i am ready for something very new.
