Ted Kennedy backs Obama, not Osama...

Huge blow to Hillary Clinton's campaign: Teddy Kennedy, once a close friend of the Clinton's, says it's time for Barack Obama.

The backing of the Kennedy clan still carried huge weight across America - and to many, Barack Obama evokes JFK with his stirring speeches of hope, change and a can-do, inclusive USA.

Comparing the man who is trying to become the first black President with his brother JFK, Teddy Kennedy told Washington students 'It is time again for a new generation of leadership'.

He said Obama could rekindle JFK's dream of a United States of America that shared a common purpose...

At least this time, Teddy didn't cock it up by confusing Obama with Osama bin Laden - as he did a couple of years ago.

The u-tube is absolutely genuine. It is not a joke....
