Bobby-Bama ?

I saw the movie "Bobby" the other night, and I loved it. 
I think all the pieces were very well integrated, and the insertion of actual footage of Bobby Kennedy was appropriately placed.

I couldn't shake the feeling that the similarities between what was happening in 1968 and what is happening now 40 years later is so erie.
- The war (Vietnam / Iraq)
- The sense of insecurity
- The fierce political campaign
- the underlying racism (anti-back, anti-mexican)
- the charismatic leader that will bring us Nirvana (Bobby / Obama ??? both lawyers)

... and, Ted Kennedy just endorsed Obama's candidacy !!!

This time, history will NOT repeat itself !!!
