Obama: "Nuestro país ha perdido a un gran líder"

El presidente estadounidense, Barack Obama, aseguró hoy que con la muerte de Edward Kennedy, al que calificó del mejor senador de la historia contemporánea del EEUU, el país ha perdido a un "gran líder" (Foto de 1962 de Ted Kennedy, en el centro, Robert (izq.) y John (decha.)).

En un comunicado difundido de madrugada, Obama -que se encuentra precisamente de vacaciones en Massachusetts, cerca del lugar donde ha fallecido el senador- mostró la tristeza con que él y su esposa Michelle conocieron la noticia de la muerte de "nuestro querido amigo Ted".

El presidente reconoció el importante legado que deja el senador quien, pese a haberse sometido a una operación para extirparle parte del cáncer cerebral, no dudó en acudir a la Convención demócrata de Denver, en agosto del año pasado, para dar su apoyo al entonces aspirante presidencial.

"Durante cinco décadas, cada pieza de legislación aprobada en materia económica, de derechos civiles o de salud dirigida a mejorar la calidad de vida de los estadounidenses lleva la impronta de Ted Kennedy o es resultado de sus esfuerzos", dijo el presidente.

El presidente agradece también el apoyo que le prestó el veterano senador cuando él llegó a la Cámara Alta, así como la "confianza y apoyo" que le dio durante su carrera presidencial.

Con su desaparición "un importante capítulo de nuestra historia llega a su fin. Nuestro país ha perdido a un gran líder, que eligió coger la antorcha de los caídos y que se convirtió en el más grande senador estadounidense de nuestros tiempos", apunta Obama en el comunicado enviado a los medios.

  1. El "gran líder" de Obama:
    1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

    2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy, former U.S. Ambassador to England, pulled the necessary strings to have his enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No preferential treatment for him!

    3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being discharged. Imagine a person of his “education” NEVER advancing past the rank of Private!

    4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia , he was cited for reckless driving four times, including once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a residential neighborhood with his headlights off after dark. Yet his Virginia driver’s license was never revoked.. Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

    5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash, and hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a “state secret” until in the 1980’s when the report was unsealed.

  2. 6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts. At about 11:00 PM, he borrowed his chauffeur’s keys to his Oldsmobile limousine, and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car off the bridge, flipped, and sank into Poucha Pond.

    7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party, passing several houses and a fire station. Two friends then returned with him to the scene of the accident. According to their later testimony, they told him what he already knew – that he was required by law to immediately report the accident to the authorities. Instead, Kennedy made his way to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep. Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the wreck had already been discovered. Before dying, Kopechne had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in the upside-down car. Kopechne was able to stay alive for a while breathing a bubble of air inside the car.

    One source notes “A diver was sent down and discovered Kopechne’s body at around 8:45 am. The diver, John Farrar, later testified at the inquest that Kopechne’s body was pressed up in the car in the spot where an air bubble would have formed. He interpreted this to mean that Kopechne had survived for a while after the initial accident in the air bubble, and concluded that: ‘Had I received a call within five to ten minutes of the accident occurring, and was able, as I was the following morning, to be at the victim’s side within twenty-five minutes of receiving the call, in such event there is a strong possibility that she would have been alive on removal from the submerged car.’ ”

    The Kennedy family began “calling in favors”, ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family, before an autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain, but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn’t call police because he was in a state of shock.

    It is widely assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight. Since the accident, Kennedy’s “political enemies” have referred to him as the distinguished Senator from Chappaquiddick. He pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO MONTHS.

    Kopechne’s family received a small pay out from the Kennedy’s insurance policy, and never sued. There was later an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her family successfully fought against this in court, and Kennedy’s family paid their attorney’s bills… a “token of friendship”?



    How about we spend the day remembering the woman Teddy killed instead of pretending he was some great man.

  4. I bet you that the person who writes at 7:05 this morning is good those so called "copy and paste, copygator !

    Where do you have it?

    I want to to have the address so I can reply properly!

    Can you write some little words by your own?

    Read this and reply:

    Edward Kennedy fue el alto miembro "RANKING MEMBER" DEL COMITE DE INMIGRACION DEL SENADO ESTADOUNIDENSE, EN LA ACPTACION DE VARIAS LEYES DE INMIGRACION EN BENEFICIO DE MILES DE HISPANOS EN USA.

    Entre los bebeficios a los cuales se puede perfilar para el bienestar de los SALVADOREÑOS se encuentra:

    -IRCA 1986 (Immigration and Control Act) conocida como la famosa "amnistia".

    -DED (Defered Enforced Departure, Salida Forzada Diferida).

    -La demanda del ABC (American Baptist Church) caso ante la Corte Federal argumentando que se desestimaba los casos de Salvadoreños y Centroamericanos para asilarse por multiples razones de Asilo estipuladas en la Seccion de Ley de Imigracion. Kennedy accedio apoyar las decisiones Administrativas en el INS: Immigration & Naturalization Service de ese tiempo y cesar las deportaciones al aceptar la demanda judicial como un elemento para detener masivas deportaciones de paisanos en el tiempo de la guerra Civil en El Salvador.

    -TPS (Temporary Protected Status, Estatus de Proteccion Temporal), comenzo por nosotros los Salvadoreños y continuo el beneficio hacia otras naciones del mundo, otorgado por razones de Desgracia Natural o Guerra Civil en el pais de origen. LOS SALVADOREÑOS FUIMOS LOS ARQUITECTOS DE ESTE ESTATUS JUNTO CON DEMAS ORGANIZACIONES ESTADOUNIDENSES DE SOLIDARIDAD CON EL SALVADOR Y EL SENADOR KENNEDY APOYO CONTUNDENTEMENTE TAL ESTATUS.

    -NACARA (Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act) Kennedy tambien lo apoyo firmemente en donde entraron mas de la mitad casos Salvadoreños incluidos en la demanda ABC y el TPS)

    -UN ULTIMO TPS, tambien lo apoyo ya que acontencio los dos terremotos del 2001 en el pais. El Salvador es el UNICO PAIS EN EL ORBE EN HABER SOLICITADO TPS EN SUS DOS MODALIDADES: POR CONVULSION DE GUERRA Y POR DESGRACIA NATURAL.

    ES EVIDENTE QUE LA TITULACION DE ESTE ESTATUS FUE LOGRADO POR EL TENAZ Y FLUIDO ESFUERZO DE LIDERES COMUNITARIOS, TRABAJODORES SOCIALES, PASTORES, SACERDOTES, ABOGADOS Y ORGANIZACIONES DE LA COMINIDAD SALVADOREÑA COMO CARECEN, EL RESCATE, CENTROS ROMEROS EN USA, MALDEF, CRECEN Y CARIDDES CATOLICAS, WORLD RELIEF ENTRE OTROS, UNIDOS EN LA DEFENSA DE LA COMUNIDAD SALVADOREÑA EN LAS GRANDES URBES DE ESTADOS UNIDOS POR ELLOS Y NOSOTRSO FUE LOGRADO.

    NO POR EL ARENISMO DEL PALESTINO PRESIDENTE; SINO POR EL APOYO DE LOS SENADORES Y REPRESENTANTES FEDERALES CONCIENTES DE SU COMPROMISO HACIA UN PUEBLO DOBLEMENTE HERIDO: LA GUERRA Y EL ASILO.

    Estos hechos hacia el bienestar inmigrante hizo el Congresista por Massachussetts y otros asuntos mas de orden legal como derechos civiles, salud, bienestar social etc.

    EDWARD M. KENNEDY MERECE NUESTRO RECONOCIMIENTO SALVADOREÑO COMO LO SE QUE SE HARA EN BOSTON MASSACHUSSETTS EL CENTRO PRESENTE ALLI ESTABLECIDO POR LA COMUNIDAD INMIGRANTE.

    NUESTRAS CONDOLENCIAS A LOS FAMILIARES DEL SENADOR EDWARD SOLIDARIZADO SIEMPRE POR LA CAUSA SALVADOREÑA EN TODO NUESTRO CAMINAR DE INMIGRANTES !
