Video: Teddy Kennedy's Speech Endorsing Obama
via TPM Election Central by Greg Sargent on January 27, 2008
As promised, here are the highlights of the speeches from Teddy Kennedy and Barack Obama today...
I'd missed this the first time, but note Obama's claim that the "torch" JFK referred to was passed to his "youngest brother." Which in turn makes Teddy's endorsement of Obama that much more pregnant with symbolism...
Late Update: One other thing about the video: You can see that Kennedy's shots at the Clintons -- his insistence that "no one" should distort Obama's record of opposition to the war, and his claim that Obama will be ready on "day one" -- are very pronounced, and clearly intended.
