Audio - Kennedy biographer Klein: Kennedy and Obama were not that close
The Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 8/30/09 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 08/29/2009 10:48:45 PM PDT by paltz

Kennedy biographer Ed Klein joined WOR radio's Steve Malzberg on Wednesday, and revealed President Obama's relationship with the late Senator Ted Kennedy was not as close as has been depicted in the media (h/t Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters). Mr. Klein seemed disgusted by the notion that Mr Obama is considered to be the "last Kennedy brother" by MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews. : AUDIO

STEVE MALZBERG: This relationship between Obama and Ted Kennedy led Chris Matthews, wacko of all wackos in my view, to say that he's now the next, he's the last brother. Obama's the last brother.

ED KLEIN: Yeah, I, I heard that. Yeah.

You could tell 0bama and Dead Ted were close by that touching, hearfelt, err wikipedia/people magazine eulogy 0bama gave. If the subject isn’t himself 0bama could not care less.

KLEIN: “Makes me want to puke. To tell you the truth.”

“a lot of the backing for Obama was Kennedy’s paying the Clintons back for stealing the Democratic Party”

Someone needs to tie Matthews to a chair, inject him with Prednisone and subject him to a recorded voice repeating over & over that Camelot isn’t real.

They had a political relationship which Teddy said, "Look, I'll back you but you better make healthcare your first priority when you become president." That was the deal.

Always about the backroom deals with these slimy pols!

Just as long as thrills going up his leg are not unintended side effects.

Kennedy was a dirtbag traitor. Nothing more. Why can’t we say that? Kennedy tried to make a deal with the USSR to bring down Reagan and get himself into power. That alone should have prevented his body from gaining entrance to Arlington. It is a national scandal that this craven tratior was allowed to be buried among all those heroes.

In the 80s I had the two most wonderful landlords ever.

They were more like grandparents to me than landlords.

Several years after we moved from the rented house, a “veteran” came into their trusting Christian home as a known friend, tied them to their kitchen chairs and put pillow cases over their heads then slowly, savagely and repeatedly stabbed them to death.

He was convicted and sent to jail.

He died in prison of an overdose a few years later.
He was buried in Arlington.

The grown kids of the slain parents fought long and hard to have his murderous remains removed from that hallowed ground of deserving heroes.

They won.

I cried with joy, right along with them.

The thought of the butcherer of that beautiful, generous, harmless couple lying alongside true heroes literally sickened me.
