I think Obama comes close to this sentiment, but he's new and has yet to prove himself. Ted Kennedy saw America transform and was part of it like no other current politician. I also can't believe he's dead. He was born same year as my grandpa and both died in 2009. I guess I won't forget both of them.TGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15796150972580581810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811870.post-26132994591470487732009-09-02T04:25:01.374-04:002009-09-02T04:25:01.374-04:00MKL, A political role model only I hope ;)

But then there have been others in our history who have been just as contradictory. For example, Thomas Jefferson fathered 7 children with one of his slaves and Ben Franklin was said to be quite the ladies man. Just a reminder that they are men and human.<br /><br />I loved Ted Kennedy for his politics. He changed the way people live today. Everything from voting age to Civil Rights, this country would not be the same without him.<br /><br />And we need him now more than ever. To be the voice of the voiceless. I think he would have helped us get beyond the partisan issues we're facing and eventually find the true heart of the matter, a solution that leaves no one out.<br /><br />I can't believe he's gone.T - Another Geek Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750336108614026360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6811870.post-57202758131762023412009-09-01T05:59:27.510-04:002009-09-01T05:59:27.510-04:00He truly was an institution in US politics and pro...He truly was an institution in US politics and probably the rock for many liberals (as myself). I am not American, but if America progresses, the whole world benefits. So I was always paying close attention to US politics. And Ted Kennedy was always my role model.
