Superb eulogy to Ted Kennedy

August 29th, 2009 | Author: paulwalternewbury

I’ve just watched President Obama’s eulogy at Senator Ted Kennedy’s funeral. It’s not often you see a standing ovation at a funeral, but on this occasion it was perfectly appropriate. Obama gave a moving, dignified and informative tribute which was superb in summing up the remarkable life of this towering figure.

Here it is on YouTube:

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk

The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
