The Liberal Lion of the Senate Edward M. Kennedy passed away this morning apparently from his battle with cancer. He was 77. I'm still waking up and getting all the news, but from what I gather he passed this morning. Obama has made a statement though I have not seen it. This is truly a great political loss.
The news of Ted Kennedy is all over the media. There's one about his wife on yahoo which can be found here. http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92946?fp=1
Hes the most important senator in our time, he will be in the news for a few days until they bury him. He is to be buried at Arlington National with his two brothers.
yes, this man did so much, and many younger people do not understand what he did for them, and they have to hope that someone is able to step up and fill his giant shoes.
This is a loss for all. I live in Australia and we don't study American politics per se, however, I recently did an assignment on him and have come to realise the impact he has had in America.
