Ted Kennedy Endorses Barack Obama

[@LaurelCasey]

We miss you Teddy, you changed the earth with your wisdom, strength, and love for all of humanity.

[@MultiCren]

JFK still lived through his bro its kind of nostalgic

[@Manny535]

That was very noble of Senator Kennedy to go and support him like this. Obama 08!

[@carosaurus]

The phrase "the better angels of our nature" is taken from Lincoln's inauguration address. Ted is a truly gifted speaker, this is a pleasure to listen to (I'm on round three). YES WE CAN!

[@mrjoanofarc]

Wow. My traditionally conservative mom has always bashed Ted Kennedy, and being a kid who didn't watch much C-SPAN, I blindly wrote him off... but this man is TRULY inspiring, and his firey powerhouse of an endorsement of Obama literally got me teared up a bit. THIS is American spirit and positivity.

The Lion of the Senate! Gotta LOVE him!!

[@BaritoneWoman]

The old lion still roars.

Ted Kennedys speech left me speechless what a great endorsement and seeing Caroline and Patrick up there just solidified the fact that a change is comming. Just one thought I wonder if the thought of a Kennedy for a vice presidential candidate would really finish off billary.

[@loki1033]

Wow. That was just thunderous. I wish I could have been there.

Healthcare for all should pass, if not for us Americans, but in honor of the 45 year fight for healthcare by Senator Kennedy! Long overdue!

[@alyceclover]

Memories! I hope my mom got to watch this, even tho' she is in her last stages of Alzheimer's I can hear her talking about how handsome Senator Kennedy is with his snow white hair. I even caught a bit of that Boston accent from JFK days. Great speech and love Patrick's enthusiasm also.

[@phenylphenol]

The very best part is 16:00 - 16:20. That giddy grin and the look over to Obama. AWESOME!

[@SamanthaR17]

This was a truly inspired speech given by a great man (Senator Ted Kennedy) who loves America and who has always fought for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A speech that endorses Barack Obama, a man of great vision and even greater promise; a man who if given the chance can push us, the American people, to reach our full potential.

[@rynox77]

About 90% of the crowd probably didn't catch the reference to "rendezvous with destiny".

[@bushwacker23]

How about that. =) Now that's some very good news. This is not a passing of the torch, but a sharing of the torch. Bring us together as one nation, one people, heal the mistakes of our past and help us to our bright future. Fired Up !

[@mazilian]

Good speech. It's fun to watch the people behind him.

[@starone091705]

I'm fired up! Ready to go!

[@HaleyMary]

Awesome speech. Obama is a great hope for the U.S. I like that he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. I hope he does something about global warming, too. It's a big concern to me of what might happen to planet earth if change doesn't happen soon. Barack Obama 2008. He will bring inspiration and bring hope. :)

[@Xone7]

That was soaring and senational!!

[@bluewater06]

Beautiful Speech!!

[@Xone7]

Why would you go and do a thing like that? I hope you have changed your mind. We are in a much bigger fight and we have to come together as one to fight it.
