I watched every minute of the funeral services and listened to all of the speeches and commentary. We were lucky indeed to have this man serving ALL of the people.Kentucky Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753739401363847764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-75468300158222454112009-08-30T09:33:54.224-05:002009-08-30T09:33:54.224-05:00We have lost a giant.

I h...Thanks for sharing this piece on Ted Kennedy. I had not had a chance to hear or read President Obama's heartfelt comments so it was wonderful to catch them here. Today I was thinking back to the time I was invited by Senator Paul Wellstone to Washington to attend a session sponsored by the Hispanic Caucus and the Senate. Senator Wellstone had extended one of his two invitations to the event to me. At the luncheon there were 6 or 7 other Latino leaders from across the county seated at Paul's table along with Senator Hilary Clinton (still a fairly new senator at the time). I remember that trip fondly because of the special opportunity to spend time with Paul Wellstone but also because I was able to meet both Hilary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. I stumbled upon Senator Kennedy's office when I was walking down a hall and saw this massive picture of President John F. Kennedy hanging on an office wall. I quickly figured out that this was Ted Kennedy's office so stepped in. When his staff person asked if there was anything they could do to help me I just said I wanted to be able to tell my mom that I had been in the Senator's office and the staffer promptly produced a signed picture of Senator Kennedy to give to my mother. Needless to say, my mother was very happy to receive the picture and has treasured it ever since. Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to stroll down memory lane.patti tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-76435802116618361762009-08-27T11:30:57.352-05:002009-08-27T11:30:57.352-05:00Dear MacDaddy,

I love that Ted Kennedy was so public about the fact that he was both blessed AND broken, like all of us.....I also read that he proabably did more than the other three brothers combined to realize their Dream.....While the man had human flaws, he never lost sight of the vast sea of Americans who had/have no voice....Witness, Civil Rights, Education, living, wage, The Diaabilities Act, Meals on wheels, The rights of Women, Health Care, and on and on....I taught young women,(for almost 30 yesrs) who, like Kennedy, had wealth and privilege....The best I could do was to educate them toward civic and global awareness....May the life of 'Teddy' be a role model for them all!!!<br />Thanks for giving him ink on your blog...I knew you would!Nun in the Hoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-28499932644501277872009-08-27T08:08:07.245-05:002009-08-27T08:08:07.245-05:00Nice pretty! it's a simply super..... easy to...Nice pretty! it's a simply super..... <a href="http://www.itsolusenz.com" rel="nofollow"> easy to download</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-50956424681810604922009-08-27T08:00:35.904-05:002009-08-27T08:00:35.904-05:00On CSPAN Last night I saw Teddy's 1980 Democra...On CSPAN Last night I saw Teddy's 1980 Democratic Convention speech in which he conceeded the Presidentual nomination to Jimmy Carter. I was amazed. It was all there: a personal commitment stated to the listening nation to contend for everything Barack Obama credited him for. When has anyone seen half a century's consistency in a political leader? When will anyone see it again?Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-52378238415798142142009-08-27T03:59:42.344-05:002009-08-27T03:59:42.344-05:00President Obama—one of the greatest orators.

I don't care who criticizes Obama: he's got a lot of mess to clean up.<br /><br />I have been alive to watch all three Kennedys depart from us.

Those words have echoed in my mind all day.<br /><br />Suddenly, I feel old—like I've lived long enough to know that a generation of hope and love has finally ended.<br /><br />I wonder where we go from here...Stella by Starlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385761338190877425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737268075572482842.post-19977654213555699352009-08-27T02:16:37.537-05:002009-08-27T02:16:37.537-05:00Tony Puck: Welcome and thanks for becoming a follo...Tony Puck: Welcome and thanks for becoming a follower of daddyBstrong.
