I saw Ted Kennedy at McDonald's this morning. [View All]

I saw Ted Kennedy at McDonald's where a better deal has been secured for the crew.

I saw him on the beat with a female cop, in class with a gay teacher, at the White House with a black President, and on a park bench with a guy whose luck has run out.

I saw him offer a glimmer of hope to a young woman whose choice remains fundamental to her freedom.

I saw him standing guard at a national wildlife refuge.

I saw his reflection in a glass of tap water free of heavy metals and harmful chemicals.

I see Ted Kennedy everywhere and realize that it's our turn to look after him just as he's always looked after us. And I see it's gonna be a hell of a lot of hard work.

Thank you Ted Kennedy for the opportunity.
