The Kennedys endorse Obama

The Kennedys are well respected and almost adored by Americans. And they were there at the National Democratic Convention (Aug 25th-Aug 28th) to support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Firstly, Caroline Kennedy - the only remaining daugther of President John F Kennedy gave a speech calling Obama "the change we need". And she also gave a heart warming introduction to Ted Kennedy.

Senator Ted Kennedy - he is the youngest brother of the former President John F. Kennedy and the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Despite being diagnosed with brain tumor just months earlier, Senator Ted Kennedy gave a strong speech at the Convention saying nothing, nothing will stop him from being here.
