Mystified by a Kennedy endorsement

Tonight, I watched once again Estevez’s film Bobby. It is very poignant, especially when we hear Robert Kennedy speak.

While browsing on You Tube afterwards, I came upon various postings of Robert Kennedy’s life. I was moved by this and this … and particularly the eulogy by his brother Senator Edward Kennedy.

Not knowing that much about Bobby’s life until now, I was surprised by the many similarities between him and Obama: his politics, his speeches, his following.

I am therefore somewhat mystified by his son’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. I particularly do not comprehend how he can say, with a straight face, that Clinton stands for “leadership that will represent the people’s interests and not the special interests“.
