Caroline Kennedy: A President Like My Father

Caroline Kennedy and her father, President John F. Kennedy

Caroline Kennedy wrote an op-ed essay that is both an endorsement of Barack Obama and a lovely tribute to her father.  Her piece ran in The New York Times on Sunday.

She began:

OVER the years, I've been deeply moved by the people who've told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama.

And ended:

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president -- not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
