The latest primary result has Barack Obama effectively trouncing Hilary Clinton. Meanwhile, the NY Times has editorialised that Hilary Clinton and John McCain ought to be presidential candidates for the Democrats and GOP respectively.
It therefore "interesting" to read an endorsement for Obama - coincidentally published in the NY Times - by a real blast from the past, Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, President of the USA from 196o until his assassination.
In her op-ed piece "A President like my Father" she writes:
"Over the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama.
My reasons are patriotic, political and personal, and the three are intertwined. All my life, people have told me that my father changed their lives, that they got involved in public service or politics because he asked them to. And the generation he inspired has passed that spirit on to its children. I meet young people who were born long after John F. Kennedy was president, yet who ask me how to live out his ideals."
