I have not cared for much of anything Ted Kennedy has done during the whole of his career. He has done nothing to earn my respect.

But to follow suit with what was done today, I should have sung "Another One Bites The Dust" when they carted him off in an ambulance. But I don't, I won't, would never think of doing something that crass. But that is the closest example I can think of to what was done today.

If Obama is going to bring a great healing and unity and be President to all, I hope he inspires his legions to back off the nasty rhetoric against a man that many millions of Americans deeply respect.

I never said the Clinton administration had nothing to do with it.

Still doesn't change the fact that Bush didn't keep us safe. He was more concerned with his ranch in Crawford.

How do you know that Bush didn't ignore intelligence that suggested that Al Qaeda would attack us by using commercial planes? Humor us.

They did. Remeber the Presidential Daily Brief he received entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike In America"

He was just so dumb and disconnected and didn't understand anything about the outside world that he brushed it off.

You seem to forget that intelligence "suggested" hell Saddam come out and said he had WMD's and we all know where that got us.

Even if Bush, Clinton and every other President had an idea that they wanted to attack us via planes what should he have done? Shut down the airports? Your theory is ridiculous and short sighted. I lost 6 loved ones on 9/11 and I blame no one but who deserves it. The terrorists.
