Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts gave a huge boost to the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as he endorsed Obama on Monday.
This comes as Obama faces off in a fierce battle against Senator Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination.
Kennedy stated that, “My friends, I ask you to join in this historic journey to have the courage to choose change. It is time again for a new generation of leadership. It is time now for Barack Obama!”
Kennedy stated that Obama has great tools to be a leader, as wel as great character.
He stated that Obama can bring forth the best days of America.
Obama accepted the endorsement, stating “If you are ready to stop settling for what the cynics tell you you must accept and finally reach for what you know is possible, then we will not just win these primaries, we will not just win this general election, we will change the course of history and light a new torch for change in this country, and the glow from that fire can truly light the world!”
