Edward M. Kennedy






John, Robert, and Edward. We miss them all. Joseph Kennedy, Jr. we never knew.

Ted's leadership was important to me as we moved to opposition to the war. He did it by the work of his subcommittee on refugees in Vietnam.

He stood more than anything for protecting the health of the American people.

We have missed his voice in this sadly debased debate on health insurance.

Chris Matthews got it right this morning: Barack is the last brother.

Let us hope that Barack Obama can do what LBJ did to solidify John Kennedy's legacy by signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
