Obama Flashback: Ted Kennedy Is Old and Needs a Spine

I love this article. Ted Kennedy is bad news anyway. Remember Chappaquidick? Does it ring a bell? Our generation is a lot different that his time and specially the situation of our country still at war, immigration, and bad economy. We need a strong president who can lead on day one. Hillary Rocks!!!!

Why aren’t people questioning the hypocricy of Obama saying he is running as a Washington outsider and hates lobbyists and then aligns himself so closely to those who are Washington and lobbyists through and through when it comes to Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry. Having to use these folks to get the nomination (if Obama does) will be draped on Obama’s shoulders by the GOP big time.

Oh crap. Good catch. This is hilarious. Obama is so lame and such a figment.

Yes, I also remember Chappaquidick and what Ted Kennedy did when the young girl drowned. He did not report the accident until several hours later?

So you just happened to find this on YouTube Jake? Just like the Huffington Post happened to find it? And just like the National Review and Atlantic Online happened to find it today?
Maybe you should do some reporting and find out where this video came from and why it’s being pushed now?
This was used previously to push the dumb idea that Obama hated liberals like Ted Kennedy while loving Republicans. Now it’s used just to entertain a few morons who can be fooled into thinking it means something.

As if this is a surprise.
The amazing thing is how many people bought into the Obama-craze. Pawning the country future in dire time on heresays

Kerry and the Kennedys are going to help the GOP win the general election because if you think the right hates the Clintons, multipy that by 2 when it comes to those guys (elitist)from that part of the country. The red states just got stronger in color. Obama is destined to lose because of those affiliations. The latino vote will not go for Obama, McCain looks better by the day.

Ted Kennedy is agaist any woman being President so he backs a simple minded man like Obama. The latino vote will never back him.If he is the nominee..I will vote for McCain.

Kennedy is just afraid that the Clinton dynasty will surpass the Kennedy dynasty, it’s in self indulgence that he makes sure the Kennedy Legacy outlast any other in his lifetime for his own sake, for he could not keep it alive and get the nomination himself in “79″. Why not support someone who doesn’t have a family with strong political ambitions and won’t do anything more than one term at best. How self imposing.

Obama has blamed the Clintons for embracing the past. What a hypocrite. He’s know enthusiastically embracing the legacy of a president who’s been dead for almost a half century. This worm with a pepsodent smile will apparently say anything.

Thanks for the clip. I’ve emailed it on. Also, have you all seen the pic of Obama snubbing Hillary when she graciously went to shake Ted’s hand before tonight’s SOTU speech. Barack so immature to be playing high school drama.
And as for Ted endorsing Barack, thank GOD!!! He wants to change America with 40 year DC veteran pulling his puppet strings!

The news should run this video tommorow during a Obama Kennedy interveiw and ask this Clown what he meant.
The same way they trashed Hillary with a unimportant picture.

I feel Ted and caroline Kennedy have done the right thing, there needs to be a generation leadership change and Obama is the answer, the clintons are of the old school, we need a fresh blood now

Vote Republican if your tired of the racism. We have room for all races. Bring us your tired and your poor. We are not the white party or rich party. Look at the Democratic party which has all the money and race problems. Obama and Clinton have 200 million dollars each. Which Republican is rich like them. All the Democrats are scum lawyers to. That should tell you something

Obama has not run anything. How can people think he could run our Country? You must be ignorant, or just totaly out of touch. Run a State for a few years and get baqck to us. I,m a Democrat and can’t believe these are the best canidates we can put forward, we should be ashamed.

Funny-how no commentator is analyzing Patrick Kennedys reason why they endorsed Obama. If people actually can think for themselves it sounded like it was just Obama’s message they endorse(like Uncle johns’s), not on what he can do in the white house or his agneda on the core issues. He also said in the interview he will be behind Hillary if she is the nominated candidate. So an endorsement does not say much since he and his Dad can change thier minds down the road.

The Kennedy’s and Obama must think everyone are sheep. Please. Go Hillary!

In accordance with this article (and clip), Ted Kennedy did mention that Obama has the courage to stand up, for the American people, against matters with which his political peers disagree (ie. against the war in Iraq).
So what does this clip show? This clip says that Ted Kennedy embraces a candidate that is not afraid of the establishment (even if he [Ted Kennedy] is a part of that establishment). It tells me that Ted Kennedy is not afraid to support a candidate who is against Cronyism. It also tells me that Obama is able to inspire even the oldest and most experienced members of American politics to embrace new ideas and ways of solving problems unique to this period for the nation.

CAROLINE KENNEDY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF COMPARING OBAMA TO YOUR FATHER.YOUR UNCLE TED PUT YOU UP TO THIS I AM SURE.YOU NEVER REALLY NEW YOUR FATHER.YOU WERE BUT A CHILD WHEN HE WAS KILLED.OBAMA IS FULL OF WORDS BUT HAS NOT PROVEN HIMSELF.THE MEDIA SCHOULD STOP GIVING HIM A FREE RIDE.WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE ITS TO LATE.VOTE FOR HILLARY TO START TO GET THIS COUNTRY BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Kennedy’s endorsements reveals how bad the disconnect is between Dem. Party far left and majority of Democrats and independent voters. They only grudgingly tolerated Bill Clinton and his policies because he got them the White House back. Once elected they deserted him like rats on a sinking ship. They’re showing thier stripes with Obama’s endorsement. Obama skills and accomplishments are significant. The only hole in his Presidential resume is experience, and he just doesn’t have it yet. Hillary Clinton has it at and is electable. Democratic Party far left is flexing its political muscles with this endorsement. An exercise that will split the party and endangers changing the policies to get country back on track. This country can’t afford anything that would hobble or obstruct those changes.
Senator Kennedy, you blew it.

GO BARACK! The Kennedys have always fought for the people that need it the most. So many people have been inspired by their leadership. Although I was only about 10 years old I remember RFK giving speeches and can only guess how many people have been inspired by this Great family. I think this endorsement is HUGE for Obama and hope that he gets the nomination and then the presidency. Finally, there is hope after years of failed leadership.

If you fools think Obama can win the moderate hawkish center, with the liberal Ted Kennedy at his helm, you are crazy.
Democrats fall for this every time. They always nominate liberal candidates (Kerry) and it never works. Need the center, folks.. and that means a pragmatic moderate. The only one left is Hillary. Think about it, folks. Do you want to feel all warm fuzzy until November, then live in republican hell for 4 years after that? Or do you want to be realistic.

Obama is full of words but has not proven himself. The media should stop giving him a free ride. Kerry and Kennedys endorse Obama!! Ho Ho Ho!!!

The Kennedys are correct. Who wants to live in the harsh and ugly world of compromise and back stabbing that the Cs wallow in. Let us remember that in the most important vote she ever made in her Senatorial experience, Hillary voted to give Bush the authority to preempt war in Iraq. Now after nearly 4,000 American lives have been lost, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead and 2 trillion dollars spent, she says no one can know the future. But it was not a wrong decision based on predicting the future, it was a wrong decision based on not being able to clearly view the present. She did not understand the “urgency of now”. There was no evidence of WMD or an Iraq/Al Qaeda connection. She made her decision because she was all wrapped up in the feelings and fears of the public and the political correctness of materializing an enemy to fight for the moment. All the policy wonking wonders in the world, cannot bring back the lives that have been lost. She has shown us that the kind of experience she has does not necessarily make for good leadership. When others were swept up in the politics of the moment, he really had the coolness to see the situation as it truly was. Do you want to hear Hill unapologetically say for four more years “If I knew then what I know now?”. There is a reason she is trying to dirty up Obama’s stand on the Iraqi war, it is because there really is no excuse for a leader to botch it up at a crucial moment as badly as she did. Lets not be fooled by someone who claims competence even after making the biggest error of our time, and then tries to vindicate herself by lying about someone else’s good record.

Obama has been identified by as LIBERAL candidate. He got played by Clinton. Here is an early Super Tuesday Buh-Bye

The Kennedy’s have a lot of nerve backing Obama – He is just not experienced enough to run our country, period !!!! Everyone better wake up – Hillary is the best candidate here..and I don not like Obama’s wife, she comes off as being snooty as does he.. Shame on you Ted and the rest of the supporting Kennedy’s !!!!!

For you libs – did not Kennedy vote for the War in Iraq Also?? YES!
Obama had on his website a whole speech in supporting the War in Iraq and that he stood hand in hand with Bush!!
surprisingly it was taking off days after his announcement.

I think Ted Kennedy is digusting to have not stayed neutral. Obama is no JFK and it is a betrayal of his brother’s memory. What must Caroline be thinking?! Obama is beautiful words, full of nothing. And if she and her uncle really listen to each debate, in every case, it was Obama who uttered the first attacks, not Hillary. She is gracious as well as strong, smart and equipped to do the job of President. I think Obama’s arrogance came thru loud and clear in his snub of Hillary Clinton last night. Come on, wake up all you Obama sycophants! .S. Does Ted Kenenedy know about the video and his ‘idols”‘remarks?

“Why don’t all the Obama haters just admit they’re angry because the Kennedys chose NOT to endorse Hillary?! If Clinton had gotten the endorsements, it would’ve been considered the best thing to ever happen to their campaign.
By the way, I heard that Bill practically begged Ted not to endorse Obama. Sounds to me like the Clintons thought the endorsement would’ve been pretty helpful to them!”

Very well said! LOL

Reading through all these “party” comments scares me beyond words for my grandchildren’s futures. This election depends on Americans, and most Americans are so party-minded that most seem completely unwilling or unable to listen to anyone in the other party or that might not agree line by line with their every opinion (which may change tomorrow). How VERY sad! And how NOT what our founding fathers envisioned for us 200 years down the road. They must all be tossing and turning in their graves. We are no better than the men and women sitting in seats of power who play Russian Roulette with our tax dollars, vote themselves raises, garner dollars and perks for their home states, and vote for impossible wars that have nothing to do with us. The cartoonist said it best who said, “We have met the enemy and he is us!” Thanks to KCl! You are the only voice of reason that I have found in this entire site, but what a shame!
