Obama called Sen Kennedy 'a little old' and tells him to 'get some spine'

GObama!

Sounds like Obama tells it like it is and Kennedy listens. We need a president who can say things clearly, means them, and doesn't have to take them back 1 year later, 4 years later, or 6 years later. Obama is the only candidate we can count on, the only truly electable Democrat in the field.

Sounds like Obama doesn't respect anyone that came before him, let alone being a homophobic corporatist.

Media coverage for Obama has been overwhelmingly positive much manufactured by reporters, but fails to inspire, suggested divisiveness in Washington stems from struggle of 1960s. that’s naïve. national crisis when Americans come together, politics has always been a divisive affair. Obama Has Not Won a Tough Contest, his ability to win in a difficult contest is reason for concern. Republicans will eat him alive ask John Kerry, Al Gore, or Michael Dukakis. Obama can't hope for change; you must fight for it. His first opponent, Jim Ryan, pulled out of the contest following the release of details from divorce. Obama has only faced ONE difficult battle for Congress against Rep. Bobby Rush. receiving only 30% and lost. Obama's inexperience hurt him.

His speech opposing Iraq war "I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars. War protesters have not been able to count on him, during his ballyhooed speech at the 04 Dem convention; he failed to decry the war, followed form and strongly supported John Kerry. When asked how he would have voted on Iraq resolution, don’t know said Obama. Since arriving in the Senate, Obama and Clinton have had identical votes on Iraq. His health plan, lacks a universal mandate, echoing his conservative peers, insists Social Security is crisis that needs immediate attention, not true, Social Security Trust Fund would run out 2046.

Obama Takes Black Voters for Granted, when a controversy erupted over the Jena Six. Obama chose not to take up the mantle of past civil rights leaders by not joining the Jena Six protest, Jesse Jackson (Obama supporter) said he's acting like he's white. Was a unique moment for Obama to show support for the black community, but didnt. Now he must explain to Democratic voters why he doesn't want to continue the fights of the 1960s -- included battles over civil rights, the antiwar movement, expansion of Social Security and expanding health care (Medicare). This is not the time for obama

I truly applaud Obama's courage and integrity!!

I wish him the best! I look forward to calling him Mr. President!

I will be voting for him in my Nevada caucuses.

John Edwards has been accusing Obama of not being a fighter against health insurance & drug companies, but this 2003 video is an example of Senator Obama calling on Republicans & Democrats to join him in the fight on a prescription drug bill.
Senator Kennedy and Senator Obama have worked very well together in the U.S. Senate on a bill to create an authentication system to identify and punish employers who hire and exploit undocumented workers. Obviously they compliment each other. I look forward to calling Barack the President of the United States of America. Obama 08!

Number 4, you say Barack Obama takes the black vote for granted. Ha! What other Democrat candidate you know to do anything for black America, except take them for granted -- and show their faces in the community only during election season.

You single out Obama for one reason only, and that is because he is black. Please give me a break. Obama is not running for president just for black people. He is running for president for all of America. The same problems African Americans face in this country are faced by poor whites, latinos and everyone else.

Sure, you want the senator to bow and kiss the rings of the likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et. al. These men have all done great things and are to be commended, but so has Barack Obama. His record in he Illinois Senate speaks for itself.

You think any other person running in this race will do any more for black America than Barack Obama, you can just keep on dreaming.

And before you go jumping to conclusions, yes, I am a black woman -- and I happen to believe that Obama is the tonic that this divisive country is in dire need of.

Ted Kennedy doesn't need Barack Obama to tell him to fight for us all. Ted's been doing that for all his time in the Senate. What's more, Obama should take care of his own health care plan which would leave out 15 million Americans, while Senator Clinton's plan would cover everyone. You go gal!!!!

Number 7. You are correct! Obama's record in the Illinois Senate does speak for itself. We see that Obama was PRESENT. Maybe he was too young or spineless to vote NO when he was actually in opposition with a bill as it was worded. In the US Senate (which he has spent more time campaigning then serving) the vote is YES or NO. Maybe that is why he was NOT PRESENT to vote on the Iran Resolution, yet only criticized others that did. Is that the strong leadership he is lip syncing? He foreign policy talk has as many stutter and wrong word choices as Bush...so I don't see where he is making any signifigant change there. Unifier? I don't feel unified by Obama, does that count? He would have made us ALL proud and excited if he was not so arrogant to run for President right now. He just needed a little more experience and maturity. Nothing wrong with that. He could have inspired ALL of the country then.

I find it interesting that the media coverage of Obama has been soo positive (70% was a figure I read once by folks who follow and catalog these things). And I wonder, will they , the media, continue this "honeymoon" should he get the nomination? I know the Republicans will not. And, let's be honest, he has a very very thin resume. I do also know that Hillary has, not only a thicker, more impressive resume, she has been vetted. And she is still standing. And, to tell you the truth, I don't see Obama as acting/voting so different in this campaign than he did in the State Senate "present" votes detailed in the article. Did he vote at all on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards? Did he go back to DC to fight against the new FISA bill (like Dodd did)? And did he vote in the infamous Iraq Resolution? The answers are all a resounding NO. At least on the last one, he was in Illinois.

The Obama fanatics are absolutely laughable. Here you have a greenhorn of a politician calling a bastion of progressivism "old" and asking him to "grow a spine" and we're applauding this upstart who has done NOTHING for the country.

What has OBAMA done that he can be this ARROGANT? He is the least experienced person to vie for the presidency since World War II. He doesn't bring anything to the table except his long drawn out speeches that lack substance but is filled with all kind of motherhood statements. And this is inspiring?

I can only lament at the stupidity of the electorate if this behavior is considered inspiring.

Go Obama! Not only does Ted lack a spine, but he is also a notorious hypocrite and criminal! Rather than criticize Republicans all day and night which I encourage all democrats to do, why not criticize his in laws, who robbed 40 million dollars from the public! WE WANT JUSTICE AND WE WANT KENNEDY TO GO AFTER HIS OWN TIES FIRST! YOUR IN LAWS ROBBED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO FINANCE THEIR SOCIAL CLIMBING! TED KENNEDY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BLACK SHEEP AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAR THE KENNEDY NAME!

Oh! great Jackie, and this is the same Ted Kennedy whom just backed your Obama candidate today! Nice job! Great backing for your candidate1
