At House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s annual Friends of Annual luncheon this afternoon, President Obama told the crowd that the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., was paying attention to the health care reform battle as it reaches its final hours.
The president said that today “we all feel the heavy absence of one of our greatest Irish-Americans; a man who loved this day so much; a man who I believe is still watching this body closely, particularly this week -- and that is our beloved Ted Kennedy. “
Kennedy was a longtime advocate of expanding government-run health insurance and would have played a key role in the formation of the health care reform bill had he not taken ill.

Mr. Obama said that Kennedy, even “as he waged epic and unyielding battles in this building…was a believer that we were all friends after six o’clock. And more importantly, he was a believer in building consensus, in forging compromise, in the idea that the only way that we can accomplish the work of the American people is to work together. “
Mr. Obama recalled that maybe five years ago on St. Patrick’s Day, Kennedy “cornered me on the Senate floor for my support on a piece of legislation. And I told him, ‘You’ve got my vote, Teddy, but I got to tell you, this is not looking good. I do not think this thing is going to fly.’ But it did, with votes to spare. And so I grabbed Teddy, pulled him aside. I said, ‘How did you pull that off?’ And he just patted me on the back and he said, ‘Luck of the Irish!’”
The president will need some of that luck as he and Democratic congressional leaders push to pass health care reform legislation by Saturday.

If ted is watching anybody, all he can see is the bottoms of their shoes.
As a minion of Satan, 0bamao has inside information.

Kenedy’s next waking thought will be before the judgement throne of God. Until then he will sleep.
Worst, dumbest, juvenile, usurper president ever.
If it was this vote - he’s lying!!!!!
And having a pint. Or a gallon or two!
Call GHOSTBUSTERS!
So is Mary Jo.
Creepy. Can’t a dem not let a person enjoy a beer without referencing some dead irish socialist wanker? You know bammy is some heavy duty buzz kill to hang with.
Good God, there used to a low of lows that the President of the United States would not go to. It seems there is no low anymore.
Ted Kennedy is too busy reliving the “Chappaquiddick incident” from Mary Jo Kopechne point of view over and over in the afterlife.
Ted’s too busy gasping for air in a submerged car to be paying attention to the present day political world.
