Kennedys hail Obama

Barack Obama stood alongside a trio of former president John F Kennedy’s family members as he was hailed as the man who could change America, reinvigorate the American Dream and “turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion” today.

The 46-year-old first-term Illinois senator, fresh from a landslide victory over Hillary Clinton in South Carolina at the weekend, won the significant endorsements from two generations of the Kennedy family as his campaign builds momentum ahead of the crucial Super Tuesday elections next week.
