Obama's
Eulogy for Kennedy
Mrs. Kennedy, Kara, Edward, Patrick, Curran, Caroline, members
of the Kennedy family, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:
Today we say goodbye to the youngest child of Rose and Joseph
Kennedy. The world will long remember their son Edward as the
heir to a weighty legacy; a champion for those who had none;
the soul of the Democratic Party; and the lion of the U.S. Senate
- a man whose name graces nearly one thousand laws, and who penned
more than three hundred himself.
But those of us who loved him, and ache with his passing, know
Ted Kennedy by the other titles he held: Father. Brother. Husband.
Uncle Teddy, or as he was often known to his younger nieces and
nephews, "The Grand Fromage," or "The Big Cheese."
I, like so many others in the city where he worked for nearly
half a century, knew him as a colleague, a mentor, and above
all, a friend.

More Thoughts About Ted Kennedy
Dear Friends,
I wanted to share with you a comment that
I wrote and subsequently was published in Time Magazine, some
40 years ago. I wrote this comment about Ted Kennedy as a private
citizen before I began my public career.
Time News Magazine, January 24, 1969, Vol.
93, No. 4: Ted v. Teddy - Sir: Senator Edward Kennedy’s
victory in the contest for Democratic majority whip (Jan. 10)
is a significant event in the Democratic Party’s move toward
effecting a liberal stance in the formulation of party positions
on key issues. As majority whip, Kennedy will do much to accomplish
a rapprochement of liberal factions alienated in the travesty
at Chicago. This is a good Ted Kennedy, for the Democratic Party,
for the people. Dennis J. Kucinich - Cleveland
Sincerely.
Dennis Kucinich
