Vice President Joe Biden pays tribute to Sen. Edward Kennedy at the memorial service for his uncle at the JFK Presidential Library in Boston.

Biden said Teddy was “an incredible man” who “in an unexpected way ended up playing an important part in my adult life.

“I wouldn’t be standing here… were it not for Teddy Kennedy.”

Biden adds that Kennedy was a good friend. “He sort of took on the role of being my older brother,” Biden said. “He was there all the time.”

I couldn’t help but …
I couldn’t help but see a number of beautiful young children in the audience and sadly I pondered what message these young ears would take. Painfully, my own ears were pierced with profanity after profanity rolling off your tongue displaying a lack of respect for your vast audience. You swindled your own heart, but I don’t think God will accept this approach. James 1:26 If you think you are religious and do not bridle your tongue, but swindle your own heart, your religion is worthless.

I will never forget …
I will never forget the time Teddy came to see me in the hospital after surgery, he knew my dad but not me. He sat with me for a half hour all alone with no one there. He came back the next day and stayed and lifted my spirits. He treated me as though he had always known me. I will never forget his kindness

He saw in Columbia …
He saw in Columbia Point and Mound Bayou a model for the nation and introduced an amendment to the Economic Opportunity Act that set aside $51 million to get another 30 centers started around the country. Today, as a direct result of Sen. Kennedys vision as a 34-year-old, first-term senator, 20 million low-income Americans receive access to quality primary care at 1,200 community health centers across all 50 states and U.S. territories.

with every vilification post another accomplishment

Remember that Biden …
Remember that Biden is not a saint nor is he the Pope! He is just a human being just like you and me. Haven’t you ever done something in your whole life that did not please the Lord? Cut him some slack, will you?

Good speech by …
Good speech by Biden. What I get from Biden’s stories that Biden can’t quite put to words is that Kennedy not only had experience with the Senate but with loss. It’s clear that Kennedy helped Biden with the loss of his life and his introduction to the Senate during those months…

Ted led Dummocraps …
Ted led Dummocraps into cancelling usa aid to S. Vietnamnese army in 1974. With USA $ S.Viet army was holding line against communist mass murdering invaders-soon as they lost the money- thanks to Ted -they got dead-losing the war-2.5 million were murdered & 20 million enslaved. I guess Ted didn’t believe his brother JFK who said during his presidential acceptance he was going to fight for freedom around the world. THE N. vietnamese lost a good ally in Ted. 2.5 million dead what a legacy!

Joe Biden should …
Joe Biden should have censored himself, and not taken the Lords name in vain. (@ the 10min mark)
The live broadcast should have bleeped him or muted the expletive with some sort of time-delay.
Or, I guess the standards are different for politicians.
