Caroline Kennedy says Obama like her father JFK

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Caroline Kennedy, the daughter President John F. Kennedy, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid.

In an op-ed published Sunday in The New York Times, Caroline Kennedy cited his judgment in opposing the Iraq war from the start and other traits in making her decision.

Obama issued the following statement of thanks: “I am honored to have the support of Caroline Kennedy. Caroline has been a tireless advocate for providing every child with a quality education, most recently through her work with New York City’s public schools. And through her role in selecting Profile in Courage awardees, she has shined a spotlight on leaders who have the courage to tell people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

It’s also a special privilege to have this endorsement because I’ve always believed that Caroline’s father was one of our greatest presidents. At a time of great challenge at home and abroad, President Kennedy led this nation with judgment and courage, pulling the world back from the brink of war, calling a generation to service, and inspiring this entire nation to reach for new frontiers.”
