"He feels it just like Bobby did," RFK's widow says of Barack Obama

[FrenchieCat]

"I think he feels it. He feels it just like Bobby did," Ethel Kennedy said, comparing her late husband's quest for social justice to Obama's.

"He has the passion in his heart. He's not selling you. It's just him."

Ethel Kennedy invited Obama to deliver the keynote address at a ceremony commemorating the 80th birthday of Robert F. Kennedy.

6. That's why Barack has armed guards.....I guess!

:cry:

[BrainGlutton]

15. I think the reason he has guards has more to do with this old joke:

Jesse Jackson shows up at the Pearly Gates.

ST. PETER: So, what did you accomplish in your time on Earth?

JJ: I was the first African-American ever elected president of the United States!

SP: Really?! Wow! When did that happen?

JJ: About ten minutes ago.

11. "He feels it just like Bobby did"?

:wow: Ethel needs to keep her sex life to herself! Come to think of it though, this might help Obama to rebuild some bridges betweeen himself and the more "mature" Americans, at least the women.

I feel it too! Ha! ;)
