Caroline Kennedy compares Obama to JFK and MLK at Naples rally

Caroline Kennedy called Barack Obama the first person since John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and other leaders from the 60’s to energize Americans to be better at an early-voting rally in Naples today.

“We haven’t had a leader who can light that spark and inspire us again, but we do again,” Kennedy said to a standing-room only crowd of more than 300 people at the Vineyards Community Club.

Kennedy endorsed Senator Obama in January along with her uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Naples was the first stop on a two-day tour to encourage early voting that will take her to Sun City, The Villages, Port St. Lucie and West Palm Beach.

The author and attorney told the crowd that this week is the most important week in the past 25 years, and Florida is one of the most important places any voter can be.

“You are absolutely on the front lines,” Kennedy said. “As Florida goes, so goes the nation.”

“It’s not going to be easy, we’ve seen the kind of campaign the other side is running and we only have a few days left,” she said.

She repeated what she wrote in her January 27th Op-Ed to the New York Times, that Obama is the first person who inspired her the way people have told her her father inspired them.

“The generation he inspired transformed this country,” Kennedy said about her father.
