NEW YORK (Jan. 26) - The daughter of President John F.  Kennedy endorsed 
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, saying he could  inspire Americans 
in the same way her father once did.

"I have  never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my 
father  inspired them," Caroline Kennedy wrote in an op-ed posted Saturday on 
the Web  site of The New York Times. "But for the first time, I believe I 
have found the  man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new 
generation of  Americans."

Kennedy, who was four days shy of her 6th birthday when her  father was 
assassinated, wrote that Obama "has a special ability to get us to  believe in 
ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that  together we 
can do great things."

And she appealed to other parents to  pick a candidate who she said could 
invigorate a younger generation that is too  often "hopeless, defeated and 
disengaged."

Kennedy wrote that she wants a  president "who appeals to the hopes of those 
who still believe in the American  Dream, and those around the world who still 
believe in the American ideal; and  who can lift our spirits, and make us 
believe again that our country needs every  one of us to get involved."
