Sorry - that’s a real blooper. Should read “Obama said he spoke to Kennedy’s wife Vicki”

Ted Kennedy was a singular figure in American history. Very few if any, over such a long period, have done more to harm America. But Obama is committed to trying.

“Socialism hasn’t worked in 6,000 years of recorded history because it didn’t have me to run it.” - Ted Kennedy
And despite all his efforts to the contrary, it never worked in America either. Even with him as the Jackal of the Senate trying his best to implement it. May God have mercy on his soul...but we are better as a nation with him permanenetly out of that position of power and influence.

The best epitath for this leftist, socialists, corrupt old man would be for a conservative or at the least a moderate, to be elected to fill his seat by the people of Mass.

Now we have Barrack Hussein Obama and his ilk, who will surely try to use the death of Kennedy to push through the biggest socialization effort in American history - ObamaCare.

We cannot let it happen. Stand firm, speak out, lean into their storm of word and ideologies...and push them back.

Obamas probably just pi$$ed that Kennedy has upstaged his vacation. At least he was smart enough to have stayed away from Chappaquiddick island...but oh, the irony...

Forgive me, I said, “Greatest Senator?” and it should have been “...one of the greatest Senators...” Kennedy is ranked last on my list!

And finally, after all these years, Kerry is no longer a “junior” Senator. Look out world, here comes some dazzling legislation....crickets.
