I thought that part of the "Ethel" [Kennedy] documentary was splendid. What a remarkable man he was.<br /><br />I was immediately reminded when I watched the documentary of Mitt Romney's obnoxious son who had wanted to punch President Obama for defending his administration and for not putting up with Mitt Romney's lies during the second debate. Bobby Kennedy was 42 years old when he died, had accomplished much during his life and was beloved by millions; Tagg Romney is also 42, has political ambitions but has done absolutely nothing of substance with his life so far.<br />Beaglemom Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-72433091467741163062012-10-31T12:25:47.692-08:002012-10-31T12:25:47.692-08:00I do not believe that a person who has profited fr...I do not believe that a person who has profited from being a US citizen should hide his money in questionable trusts (no longer legal) or in foreign countries has any right to run for president.<br />Beaglemom<br />PS I do not agree that the US government is "profligate."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-12470554443367037642012-10-31T09:18:12.039-08:002012-10-31T09:18:12.039-08:00Oh Hai!

When a reporter asked Bobby Kennedy why he was running for prez he ruled out $$ by saying his father had "done pretty well" so money was not his concern. He was the first one to laugh at what he said. Bobby was also part of humanity and respectful of everyone. To hold off one more riot after MLK's murder, Bobby gave a speech (Detroit? Cleveland? I'm not sure)before a pissed off crowd in which he quoted a long passage from Aeschylus (?) about forbearance and persevering, confident that everybody would listen and get it. They did get it, and they were the only city that didn't riot. Because his understanding and connection were so real despite his wealth. Romney is so puny and disrespectful and set apart he's not really human.
