Sen. Edward Kennedy Gave a Rousing Endorsement to Barack Obama today along with his son Rep. Patrick Kennedy and niece Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK. Sen. Kennedy took several jabs at Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bill must have really pissed Ted off!
But not all "feminists" are happy! The NY NOW Slams Ted Kennedy for "Betraying" Women! I guess Toni Morrison also betrayed women by endorsing Obama.
(NY NOW should be ashamed of themselves, they give feminism a bad name!)
Both Kennedy and Obama Include "Gay and Straight" in their speeches:
Obama's inclusion of the community came while he was discussing the legacy of hope that both John and Robert Kennedy inspired in people.
"And it lives on in those Americans -- young and old, rich and poor, black and white, Latino and Asian and Native American, gay and straight -- who are tired of a politics that divides us and want to recapture the sense of common purpose that we had when John Kennedy was President of the United States of America," said Obama.
The insertion of "gay and straight" was a departure from the script of Obama's prepared remarks, forwarded to news outlets ahead of the event by his campaign.
Kennedy, who spoke before Obama, made a similar reference to the community. "With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion," he said.
"With Barack Obama, we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group and straight against gay." (The Advocate)
