Sun Jan 27, 1:06 AM ET NEW YORK - 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."

This could be an important symbolic victory for Obama as it could lead to more people identifying with the young, promising and smart Presidential candidate. Kennedy is held in iconic status in American public consciousness.
