@Yes i’m all for Obama, but Kennedy’s speech isn’t really all that interesting. if you’re interested in the revival of rhetoric in american politics look at Obama’s SC victory speech – his best speech yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iVAPH_EcmQ
@srb i want to shoot myself when i see these campaign videos, i hate every candidate equally, go blow it out your ass ted kennedy, this country is going to shit, and it is sad.
@unsure I think their policy differences are minor, except on foreign policy, and Barack is less experienced but more likely to get things done. Hillary would be a great president though. Tough call.
@To prepare For a Communist, err, Democratic government which will go on the biggest government splurge since the New Deal (and even then, the dollar wasn’t fiat), I’d buy every single ounce of gold I can get my hands on. And silver. And iron ore. And other commodities.
@huh? why is this on here? thanks for the naked partisanship, bwog.
it’s also great how obama wants to be the anti-establishment candidate yet trumpets as his biggest endorsement that of ted kennedy, who has been a senator since he was given it as his birthright in 1960. and for him to praise caroline with ‘courage.’ what courage? everything she’s ever gotten has been from her last name. and patrick kennedy was last in the news for sending himself to rehab after hitting a parked police car on capitol hill. obama’s better than this, but his politics-of-change message is hurt by events like this.

@... OBAMARAMA 08′
@DHI There’s no way I’m voting for somebody named Gravel unless he uses Gravel Pit as his campaign song
@unsure I think their policy differences are minor, except on foreign policy, and Barack is less experienced but more likely to get things done. Hillary would be a great president though. Tough call.
@this is why you should vote for gravel
@Alum FWIW, Caroline Kennedy graduated from the Law School in 1987.
@The King of Spain Why is everyone so down on inheriting things from their fathers. It’s done pretty well for me.
@Anonymous No way I’m going to vote for a guy named B. Hussein Obama.
@Wow I really hope you’re trying to be humorous (and failing miserably at it).
If you’re going to base your vote on the candidate’s name, whatever it may be, then I feel sorry for you.
Do us all a favor and crawl back into your cave, please.
@DHI That’s what they said about DICK BUTKUS, and now there’s an award named after him.
@You sir must be sterilized.

@epb Ted Kennedy talks about the American dream. Is that the one where you kill a woman and get off light because you’re political royalty?
@Anonymous No, I think it’s the one where Patricians are automatically evil.
Fuck Eugene Debs.
@ugh sick of this obama business, really.
@To prepare For a Communist, err, Democratic government which will go on the biggest government splurge since the New Deal (and even then, the dollar wasn’t fiat), I’d buy every single ounce of gold I can get my hands on. And silver. And iron ore. And other commodities.
@Goode Sir! I’d buy an ounce of my fisticuffs in your face!
@Anonymous Commodities certainly haven’t skyrocketed during this administration!
THINGS ARE BOFFO!
