What does that mean to me, a voter?
Not much, I remember the scandal Kennedy was in vaguely. I was five or six when a woman died in Kennedy's car. But that does not matter either, it's just history.
I was not born when president Kennedy was alive. I did not live through the Camelot years. I was not alive when the president was shot. I learned about all of this in school as history.
So, this historic speech does not mean much to me.
There are a lot of voters that are inspired by Obama, the youth vote. But this makes Obama look a bit out of touch with the youth. Maybe that is a calculated move because a lot of the youth don't vote and older individuals do.
It is healthy to vote and participate in government, and maybe the older voters need Kennedy to endorse Obama but those who are inspired by him might think this move is a bit out of touch.
I have voted in my primary. It's time for others to vote too; and not look for endorsements from people who just don't matter.
