President And Senator Kennedy May Meet After All

This story is weaving back and forth but I find it hard to fathom that these two men are not to meet and share time together.

The White House won’t confirm it, but the buzz on the Vineyard is that President Obama has made tentative plans to leave the island Tuesday to visit his ailing pal, Sen. Ted Kennedy, in Hyannisport.

Word is the prez – and most likely the first lady – will take the presidential chopper, Marine One, from the Vineyard to the Cape to call on Kennedy, who has entered the final stages of his battle with brain cancer.

The visit is expected to highlight Obama’s ongoing battle to overhaul the nation’s health-care system – Kennedy’s mission for much of his public life. And it will no doubt be a bittersweet moment for the two close friends as Kennedy’s health continues to deteriorate.
