RNC Chairman Michael Steele told the Washington Times that it was “bad form” for President Obama to talk about a letter he received from the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), at last night’s speech to Congress.
“I’m sorry, but I just felt a bit unnerved by it, in the sense he just passed,” said Steele.
“His wife was still clearly emotional,” Steele added. “I just thought that was bad form. We all understand and appreciate the role Sen. Kennedy has played in this debate and the passion he brought to health care. I just thought that was a little bit much for me, so soon after his death, using that as a political tool.”
Steele seems to be under the impression that this was all a surprise to Vicki Kennedy — that it was some kind of coincidence that she’d been invited to sit as a guest of Michelle Obama during a speech on one of her late husband’s biggest political issues.
