All of the Kennedys are my favorite. It was old Joe Kennedy that sponsered my family into this country, if it were not for the Kennedy family, I would not be an American. Wonderful people!

(Lisa) Kennedy (Montgomery) from MTV.

I would have to say they are all my favorites in their own special way. What the world could have been had they all grown old with us.

I was too young to remember much about JFK. I remember his assassination, and of course I have seen and read many of his speeches and writings. Bobby Kennedy was the first political figure that ever "drew me in" to the larger world and the political storms that we live in every day. He was an inspiration to become more than we are, to create, not destroy, for the good of all. Teddy, while he certainly had an awesome and distinguished career, has my respect, but not in the same way that RFK did. And I doubt I would even have included John, Jr. While his sister Caroline has devoted much of her life to noble causes, John John seemed to be more inclined to use his fame to be something of a bon vivant, and never seemed to have any interest in the public welfare the way the rest of his family did.

I admired all of them most of all because they didn't forget their roots. They knew their ancestors faced racism as Irish Catholics, and they stood up for for minorities facing racism and for the little guy. Unlike some Irish Catholics, who make it "big", become Republicans and move to Connecticut! The "I got mine" crowd.

John Jr. was the best and the most handsome Kennedy of all them-- He would have outshined any of the other Kennedy Men !!

Bobby was an activist. His activism ultimately costed him his life. He sought out to help my people as well and because of that I am forever grateful to him.

"I look around this room and I don’t see many black faces who will become doctors. Part of a civilized society is to let people go to medical school who come from ghettos. I don’t see many people coming here from the slums, or off of Indian reservations. You are the privileged ones here. It’s easy for you to sit back and say it’s the fault of the Federal Government. But it’s our responsibility too. It’s our society too… It’s the poor who carry the major burden of the struggle in Vietnam. You sit here as white medical students, while black people carry the burden of the fighting in Vietnam.”

Even though I was very young and didn't "know" a lot about politics, I couldunderstand him and i don't know I somehow felt that this person card about our country, I will never forget how I felt when he was killed. I was truly truly sad.

I met Ted many times over the years, and he was always earnestly interested in what was being discussed, and always a gentleman.
At one Christmas party I went to he dressed as Milli (of Milli Vanilli - sp??) and did an entire Karaoki bit for the other senators.
If you met him - you'd respect him - despite his failings as a human.

John Jr, I always thought he would be president one day. Sad loss.
