This article written by Caroline Kennedy is praising Barack Obama. Caroline remembers people coming up to her and saying that no president has inspired them like her father JFK did. She thinks that Obama can also inspire America to fulfill the American dream. All the candidates have similar platforms but she believes that Obama has the morals that will change America, such as opposing the war. The author really touches us on an emotional level. She writes about how Obama will get us to believe in ourselves and give back to the community.The author explains some ways that Obama in the past has proved himself as a leader. The author really believes that Obama will inspire people the way her father did and she makes you believe it to. I really liked this article and it provided a good argument. It changed my opinion on Obama because i didn't realize before how he could inspire our youth and change the face of the country unlike any other candidate. She really uses an emotional level to connect to her audience and not just facts.

I might like to read this article. I haven't really been paying much attention to the presidential candidates, but I would like to start reading things about the ones I have no idea about. JFK was a pretty inspiring man and great president, so Obama must be pretty amazing, at least to Caroline, for her to compare him to her father.
