Happy Birthday Bobby Kennedy

[Maccagirl]

born November 20, 1925.

"Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby? Can you tell me where he's gone? I thought I saw him walking over the hill, with Abraham, Martin and John."


"We will not the likes of him again."-Rose Kennedy

1. It would of been a different world, if he had made it.BETTER

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Think about it...

It's probable he would've won the 1968 election. It's possible he would've withdrawn troops from Vietnam shortly thereafter, saving tens-of-thousands of lives on both sides of the conflict. The political and constitutional crises that arose from the Watergate scandal might've never happened. The Democratic Party might've had the strength going into the 1980 election to carry it to victory, sparing us of 12 years of Reagan/Poppy Bush...

If only...:(

Happy Birthday, Bobby!

8. Often I think How much better our Country would be

if he (and John and Martin) had not been assassinated. Bobby beats Dickie, Watergate would just be a nice Hotel in DC. The Chicago Convention may not have had the riots, the Democratic Party wouldn't have been pulled apart. 1968 that was a rough year..

[H2O Man]

5. It WAS a better world

because of him. And it continues to be a better world, because of him. And he would be happy that you remembered his birthday, and he would be even happier that you are working to make it a better world, too.

2. Happy B-Day Bobby

boy do we miss ya! :cry:

3. A part of me died when he did. A truly compassionate man--

who put if all out there for everyone to see.

It hurt more when he was killed than even JFK. He was THE ONE of the Kennedy's for me. I was 15 and worked for JFK's election, and his death was traumatic, but Bobby's was beyond that.O8)

6. Tears

I love that song, it makes me well up with tears.

7. We miss you Bobby!

The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
Robert F. Kennedy, 'I Remember, I Believe,' The Pursuit of Justice, 1964

---

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.
Robert F. Kennedy, 1966 speech

9. Rose was right.

I had the privilige of shaking this man's hand. I often wonder what might have been...

"There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?"
