teddy

I never knew if I really liked him. I mean he was always around. From the beginning of my life he was a senator. I know of his family. Who has not heard of the Kennedy's. But coming from a Catholic family and country. I guess we were connected to the Kennedy's. You could say that family was the Catholic family in America. But at same time I was never a practicing catholic. But you could say he was the party boss of the Democratic party. Like deal maker. So now we know what he meant to politics. But he was elected to the senate at 30 years old. Which is way younger than me. I just don't think that he left America in a good place. The deal maker who did not keep us from going to Iraq. The deal maker who did not get national health care passed in the Clinton years. But I guess the real legacy of Ted Kennedy will be Obama. If Obama does well as a president. We can say that was his lasting gift. But if Obama does bad. Then we can say why send us that way. But I can't help wondering of this political family is male. Caroline Kennedy tried to become a senator and got no support. The catholics do not allow women to become priests. So that is the Kennedy legacy.
