Jul 7, 2008 - I'm a mass man born and raised. Thank you for this testament to hope and a better understanding of the road that is yet traveled

Jul 7, 2008 - The Kennedy's souls and heart were pure and true. In every sense of the word, "gold". You destroyed it. (humaninity) Now live with the monsters that live and rule among you now.

Jul 7, 2008 - There were so many of us young people then that we thought our numbers would overpower the evil that lived among us. JFK, MLK, and finally RFK with their violent deaths proved to many of us that shear numbers weren't enough. This eulogy tried to inspire us; sadly 40 years later we still hope. Bless the Kennedy's for their contribution to the struggle.......

Jul 7, 2008 - There are many public servants, in high office and in daily service that are devoting the hours of their life to the principles and citizens of America. Great wrongs have occurred, are occurring still but maybe, if like the Kennedy brothers, we suspend cynicism and take even small actions, perhaps we can turn the tide.Thanks for posting. Thank you to Ted Kennedy for a life of service.

Jul 7, 2008 - this man, best of the brothers. This A GREAT person. He like all of them, has more momey then we could wish for. He made mistakes. BUT he wants every person to have "Free Healh Care" Here in the UK every person gets free health care, OK we pay tax BUT nobody is turned away, free, Mrs Clinton wanted a free health care, T.M.K did too, but your insurance compamys said NO. 30,ooo,ooo of your people don't have health care

Jul 7, 2008 - The United States of America went from a great man such as RFK to Bush?Amazing and sad.

lazished Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - This is what america should be and can be, only because this is what this country used to be. And we can only do this by electing the man most like Bobby.Barack Obama

fernwad Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The beauty of this eulogy is in is simplicity and its direct and repeateed calls for our participation in the change needed to make a better world. RFK was a brilliant speaker, his brother Ted did him a great service in this eulogy. It is obvious he loved his brother(s) and suddenly felt very alone. If only we all could be so brave in our times of lonliness and despair.

Jul 7, 2008 - If you think Obama is the answer then you been drinking the Liberal Kool-Aid without questioning them! Obama is the last thing our suffering Nation needs.

Jul 7, 2008 - simply one of the biggest piece of quality and beautness trough history.

hogienp Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The Killing of the Kennedy brothers perhaps was the greatest crime of the 20th century as America has gone from a great moral leader to the edge of the abbys and now the most hated country on earth. So very sad !

Shaner37732112 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - you truly have to understand the message of bobby and of his eulogy, that we can, and must be the country he speaks of without Bobby, and without Obama. I am a strong believer in Obama but when he goes I, and hopefully you too will carry on with his words, with his beliefs with his message. neither of the Kennedy's changed America, they enabled America to change itself.

speck7521 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - You are WRONG! Both changed us in a way that they may have never have if they had lived. Where would you be if they had lived and fulfiled their polices? Would you be speaking up now? Would I? Sometimes it is the heartache that we can never explain that may someday change the world. I just hope that your wrath toward what you have written will not stop with this blog.

speck7521 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Why is Obama the last thing we Need?

dbenvenstie Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - RFK would have been one of the best Presidents the United States of America has ever had. His legacy and dream must go on and it will. Hopefully we can see that in Senator Obama election. So I think its safe to say that RFK was the Greatest President that the United States never had.

dbenvenstie Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - i agree 100%

CJBACH80 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Those of you comparing RFK to obama are ignorant beyond comparison. Obamas words, especially now that we are getting to know him, are those of almost any other politician that ever lived. He gives a good speech, but his words are not new. In fact its showing he flip flops whenever it suits him. "Change" is not even a platform, EVERY politician runs on change. So give us all a break. RFK and JFK were the ideal and the originals, obama steps in after a bush administration, how conveient for him.

yot5000 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - You are Right HE is NO RFK

yot5000 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Like I have said Obama is NO RFK.Now RFK's brother Edward is TRUE. He has money and the REST BUT HE wants every American to have free health care.I know you guys say we must be a commie! to have that. 36,000,000 of you guys have no health care. How WRONG is THAT?Tony Blair is not a commie or more IMPORTANT my country.I pay tax, lucky to work and THANK-GOD EVERYONE in the UK who is ill will BE LOOKED AFTER.EDWARD Kennedy was the lost President of your great country

Jul 7, 2008 - I have found out something i never knew;I have found out that my world is not the real world. RFF 1968. Its the same today.Our world is not what we think.
