Senator Kennedy Returns
After undergoing surgery in June, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, who is still fighting a malignant brain tumor, returned to his Senate office on Capitol Hill. Senator Kennedy made a brief statement to the press, reassuring the public that he’ll continue to fight for healthcare reform:
The Senator appeared to be thinner, but he smiled and answered questions from reporters. Welcome back and Godspeed. His complete statement after the jump.
I will also continue to lay the ground work for early action by Congress on health reform when President Obama takes office in January. We’ve been making real progress in our discussions about a consensus approach, and I’m optimistic we’ll succeed. I am grateful for the prayers and good wishes I’ve received over the past several months. They have certainly lifted my spirits, as has the election of Barack Obama as our 44th President.

Nothing like seeing the broken health care system up close
...to get a Congresscritter to want to try to fix it.
Is that the solution? Everyone in Congress has to get really, really sick and need medical care? I hope not...we'd run out of Congresscritters before Big Pharma and Insurancecorp let them get anything done.
If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. ~~~John Kenneth Galbraith

"The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." - Abraham Lincoln, First Republican President
