    The phrase "the better angels of our nature" is taken from Lincoln's inauguration address. Ted is a truly gifted speaker, this is a pleasure to listen to (I'm on round three).
    YES WE CAN!

    Wow. My traditionally conservative mom has always bashed Ted Kennedy, and being a kid who didn't watch much C-SPAN, I blindly wrote him off... but this man is TRULY inspiring, and his firey powerhouse of an endorsement of Obama literally got me teared up a bit. THIS is American spirit and positivity.

    That was very noble of Senator Kennedy to go and support him like this.
    Obama 08!

    Ted Kennedys speech left me speechless what a great endorsement and seeing Caroline and Patrick up there just solidified the fact that a change is comming. Just one thought I wonder if the thought of a Kennedy for a vice presidential candidate would really finish off billary.

    The very best part is 16:00 - 16:20. That giddy grin and the look over to Obama. AWESOME!

    Memories! I hope my mom got to watch this, even tho' she is in her last stages of Alzheimer's I can hear her talking about how handsome Senator Kennedy is with his snow white hair. I even caught a bit of that Boston accent from JFK days. Great speech and love Patrick's enthusiasm also.

    Healthcare for all should pass, if not for us Americans, but in honor of the 45 year fight for healthcare by Senator Kennedy! Long overdue!

    About 90% of the crowd probably didn't catch the reference to "rendezvous with destiny".

    Awesome speech. Obama is a great hope for the U.S. I like that he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. I hope he does something about global warming, too. It's a big concern to me of what might happen to planet earth if change doesn't happen soon. Barack Obama 2008. He will bring inspiration and bring hope. :)

    This was a truly inspired speech given by a great man (Senator Ted Kennedy) who loves America and who has always fought for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A speech that endorses Barack Obama, a man of great vision and even greater promise; a man who if given the chance can push us, the American people, to reach our full potential.
