 Ted Kennedy, Toni Morrison
Throw Support To Obama

    Senator Barak Obama has added the support of two high profile Americans to his roster: Sen. Ted Kennedy and Author Toni Morrison.
     Morrison, who labeled Bill Clinton as the "first black president", made her announcement in a letter to Obama.
She wrote, “in addition to keen intelligence, integrity and a rare authenticity, you exhibit something that has nothing to do with age, experience, race or gender and something I don't see in other candidates. That something is a creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom.”
    Obama responded in writing: "I was deeply moved and honored by the letter she wrote and the support she is giving our campaign."
