Edward Kennedy's political style.

During his 47-year tenure in the United States Senate, Edward Kennedy promoted the passage of many important bills in traditional liberal fields, such as civil rights, medical care, education, immigration reform, anti-war, and labor rights, and participated in the formulation of almost all important bills during this period, leaving a unique mark on American society and being known as the "liberal lion".

Edward? Kennedy has very provocative speech skills. He 1987 delivered a speech in the Senate, "sniping" robert burke, the conservative nominee of the Supreme Court, which caught the party off guard and completely changed the political "playing style" in Washington. Since then, the government's nomination of any controversial person to an important position will trigger angry words in Congress.

His most famous speech, 1980, was delivered at the Democratic National Congress on August 12. Later generations called it the "fighting prose" of American liberalism. Edward, who lost to Carter in the party's presidential primary election at that time, said: "Work will continue, career will continue, hope will continue, and dreams will not die." Edward? Kennedy thinks that one of his greatest achievements is to promote the passage of the 1990 American Disability Protection Act. This bill has special significance for him personally. His sister Rosemary is mentally retarded, and his eldest son lost a leg due to bone cancer at the age of 12.

In his later years, Edward took promoting the reform of American medical system as a symbolic political goal, which was the main driver of Obama's cabinet medical reform plan.

Although he was seriously ill, Edward still insisted on realizing his "life goal" before his death, that is, to let all Americans enjoy the medical care system. To this end, he helped draft a bill that almost subverted the existing $2.5 trillion US medical system. In 2009, a survey by Capitol Hill magazine showed that * * * and Republican senators thought Kennedy was the most cooperative Democratic senator and the most cross-party senator.

In June 5438 +2008 10, Edward nominated then-Senator Obama to run for the Democratic presidential candidate. Many people believe that Obama's success means that the political torch of the Democratic Party is passed from the old generation of the Democratic Party represented by Edward to the new generation of political Obama. As Edward is the most prominent and popular figure in the Democratic Party, his support contributed to the rapid rise of Obama in the Party. In 2008, Edward made an unexpected appearance at the Democratic National Convention, which created the most exciting moment of the Convention and pushed Obama's popularity to the peak. Kennedy expressed his support for Obama, and also caught Obama's party opponent Hillary by surprise. She suffered a major setback in the election and finally hated it.
