Rep. Patrick Kennedy said Friday that his father, Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, has been “very frustrated” to be absent during the debate over health care reform.
Kennedy, a Rhode Island Democrat, said his father has a unique ability to read his colleagues and form compromises.
“Every other senator in that Senate knows that there have been very few senators like Ted Kennedy over the years that can bring both sides together and hammer out a deal that can then go to the president,” he said.
