Today is a day of rememberance for the Kennedy family and many supporters of the Kennedy family. 40 years ago today Bobby Kennedy was assasinated.

I had just mentioned Bobby in another discussion recently without even realizing how long ago it was that he and his brother were with us standing for change. They were full of ideas the world did not want- much like Obama seems to be these days.

Let's all have a moment of silence when reaching this discussion in honor of Robert (Bobby Kennedy and remember all that he stood for and the great man he was.

Where you around when Bobby was shot? Where were you? Do you remember what you were doing?

I was not around when he was assassinated. I wasn't born into this world yet. It must be truly hard to be a Kennedy in general. I'm not trying to make laughs at that either. It's amazing how much hurt that family has gone through.

You are so right. I was watching a special about JFK Jr.s death my airplane and it was mentioned that this family seems to be followed by death. Especially to the young in thier family. It's sad.

He was a brilliant man! I've had the pleasure of meeting his son about a month ago! His son is very nice and personable, the baby and I GOT our picture taken with him. He was very patient, because the camera kept messing up!I was at a hilary campaign
The Kennedy's will be in my prayers today!

I was a young mother raising two boys at the time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. warmweatherwoman (1385)   ranked 140 out of 3,986 in politics  4 years ago

Wow- so you were not only alive at that time- but at an age where you could have fully understood the magnatude of what was happening. May I ask if you remember how you felt about it? Were you a fan of the Kennedy's?


myLot reputation of 83/100. sherlock27 (850)  4 years ago

I admired the family. I guess I was fasinated by their glamour, money, lifestyle, history. I felt for their heartache they endured. I agreed with alot of their politics. I was totally crushed by JFK's death. Now with Ted's health problems the world seems to be on a Kennedy watch again. I find it very sad.

I was born in 1961. I was 7 when he was assasinated, so I don't really remember much about it. My mom however always admired the Kennedys and spoke about it often.


myLot reputation of 97/100. warmweatherwoman (1385)   ranked 140 out of 3,986 in politics  4 years ago

I was not alive during either of these two brother assasinations- BUT - my mother still recounts the day as if it were yesterday when JFK was shot. She still remember sitting at her school desk when the announcement came over the loud speaker...She said - much like 9/11 for us- The world just seemed to stop at that moment.

I was not alive when Bobby Kennedy was around, but I am a little bit of a buff when it come to John F. Kennedy. I am a little bit of a conspiracy nut, so I 've read quite a bit of books on the subject of his life and administration.

I do see a lot in Obama that existed in that family, and I think it is both great, and ominous, as we discussed in your other discussion.


myLot reputation of 97/100. warmweatherwoman (1385)   ranked 140 out of 3,986 in politics  4 years ago

See I just knew that was a bigger reason why we clicked Katesmama! I am a huge conspiracy buff myself- and have watched numourous documentaries of what happened- or what they think happened the day of JFK's assasination. I still believe it was the CIA- but that is just me...lol.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Katesmama (3210)   ranked 108 out of 3,986 in politics  4 years ago

ME TOOO!!!!! I read this book, Plausible Denial, by Mark Lane, and it said everything I ever suspected in all of the other books I'd ever read. If you haven't read it, pick it up. Its about the CIA involvement in Vietnam, and why JFK had to go. Also, how JFK was decieved into the Bay of Pigs debacle.

Here is the Wikipedia entry for the book as well.
