Barack Obama has called Senator Edward Kennedy the "greatest legislator of our time". His tenure of 46 years in the Senate was longer than the life of his brother John F. Kennedy.
As with most successful politicians, Ted Kennedy chose his battles well, championing the inevitable with great "vigor".
He lived long enough to see most of his legislation passed and enacted. Unfortunately, he has not lived long enough to see how it would be paid for.
Before Kennedy died, he passed the torch to Barak Obama, claiming Obama was, "ready to lead on day one (of his presidency)". As of this writing it's "day 222" and our country is $2 trillion farther in debt.
