Many have compared Barack Obama to JFK and RFK regarding his ability to inspire Americans. Some have mocked this comparison, but Caroline Kennedy apparently agrees. She endorsed Senator Obama for President in an op-ed in the New York Times:

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. 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.
