Byrd Endorses Obama
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the oldest member of the Senate, has endorsed Barack Obama for president.
“Barack Obama is a noble-hearted patriot and humble Christian, and he has my full faith and support,” Byrd said Monday, according to the Charleston Gazette.
Byrd, 90, mentioned his and Obama’s opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in announcing his endorsement.
“As people all across this great nation know, I have been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Bush administration’s misguided war in Iraq and its saber rattling around the globe,” Byrd said.
