Gay Mention in Obama Acceptance of Kennedy Endorsement

This morning, Senator Edward Kennedy, Congressman Patrick Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy all proudly endorsed Barack Obama for President at American University in Washington, D.C. In accepting these endorsements, Barack gave yet another incredible speech. Every time he speaks, you can feel the political momentum running up the mountain.

At about 10 minutes into the video, Senator Obama includes the gay community in his speech in an incredibly potent sentence:

"It lives on in those Americans, young and old, rich and poor, Black and white, Latino and Asian and Native American, gay and straight, who are tired of a politics that divides us and want to recapture the sense of purpose that we had when John Kennedy was President of the United States of America."
