Following President George Bush’s State of the Union address last night, Sen. Barack Obama proceeded to slam the Bush administration saying Bush was full of “empty rhetoric” and also stating “I do not believe history will judge his administration kindly.”

You have to give Obama credit where credit is due. The guy really knows how to light a fire and he’s constantly proving he’s not going to back down from anybody, especially George Bush and his corrupt administration. Last night’s speech from Bush was rehash of his empty promises made year after year and each year into the Bush administration the economy has continued to worsen. The majority of Americans feel disenfranchised by the current administration and promises of Bush cutting more taxes only helps the wealthy leaving the middle class to foot the bills. In the meantime, the honest Americans who make up the middle class are finding themselves deeper in debt and working endless hours to make ends meet.

In an interesting political move today, Senator Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy has endorsed Barack Obama, calling him a “man with extraordinary gifts of leadership and character,” a worthy heir to his assassinated brother.

“I feel change in the air,” Kennedy said in remarks salted with scarcely veiled criticism of Obama’s chief rival for the nomination, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as well as her husband, the former president.

However, the aging Senator from Massachusetts probably hasn’t seen this video where Obama calls Ted Kennedy “old” and says he needs to get some “backbone” and stand up to the Republicans…

Then again, Ted Kennedy is well known for his binge drinking and philandering and was probably nursing a hangover when he called Obama “Osama” in this video clip…

The question is “Does anybody outside of Massachusetts even give a rip about who Ted Kennedy endorses ?”
