President Obama will be the only non-family member to offer a eulogy at Senator Edward Kennedy’s funeral Mass on Saturday in Boston. Obama adviser David Axelrod told USA Today it would be “about Ted Kennedy the man … the president was so fond of him as a person.” Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama was a game changing moment in the campaign; “a passing of the torch of leadership,” Axelrod said.
Check out the USA Today article here.
And watch the video of Kennedy’s endorsement remarks in our previous post below.
The game changing moment in the election was Senator Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama on Jan. 28. For those in the room, and those who watched on television, it was an electrifying Kennedy moment.
We wanted to remind the Senator’s fans of his eloquence and vision with this clip from his speech at American University.
Wanda Sykes was back in town recently and performed at the Warner Theater.
She joked that she “got into a little trouble” after her WHCA performance in May, but said she was actually “holding back” at the time. “Tonight, I’m not holding back.”
Meet the Press has a great, previously unseen, video clip from the 60th Anniversary show of Robert Novak and David Broder’s first appearances on the NBC’s Sunday program. Novak (and Broder) confess to being “terrified” during the first time.
Watch the young Novak and Broder in action here.
