my brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. to be remembered simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. those of us who loved him and will take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. as he said many times in many parts of this nation to those he touched and who sought to touch him, some men see things as they are and say why, i dream things that never were and say why not. that was senator ted kennedy at the funeral of his brother bobby. second funeral he would have to mark and today is june 6th. david ignatius, two monumental things happened on this day, of course, the assassination and the death the assassination and the death of bobby kennedy on june 6th, 1968, a day that really marked in many ways a low point, the chaos of the 1960s and i must say also a
of course, you are sitting in iowa and you have republicans flocking in fast and furious to try to win iowa and get ready for the caucus as biden is trying to seize the national stage here. it is hard to imagine either side getting a lot of credit from the country for what is happening this week. it s a significant development. for the president, for doing what he said he would do, work with republicans and for speaker mccarthy as well. he has been underestimated throughout the first part of this year. the white house never thought he would be able to keep his republicans unified. that is what happened. i can tell you, being out here for several days talking to voters on both sides, there s not a lot of applause for washington. there s not a lot of credit for averting a crisis from happening. there is no doubt president biden despite if he doesn t on a friday night, how we consume the news now and everything that is chopped up and shared, this will get into the bloodstream
