The Lion returns to the den.

Thank God!!! We need you're leadership Senator Kennedy.

And sure is, I teared too!

Good for you Senator… Keep fighting the good fight!

Welcome back, Senator.

How great to see you back and voting for a great cause! God Bless You! May you continue to improve!

Best wishes Ted Kennedy.

Welcome back Uncle Teddy!!!! You were greatly missed.

Nice to see you back Ted!

But, your guy, Obama, is a loser! He blows with the wind of political expediency and has no moral center!

Welcome back Teddy!

Ted, Go retire. We do not need you. You want to divert our attention. You are a waste of time.

He'd never miss the opportunity to cast a vote to spend even more of our tax dollars.

Senator Kennedy has demonstrated that you can do something other than be shot down to become a true American Hero.

Thank you, Sir.

Glad he was able to make it back in time to cast his vote because it was important to him to do so. Also, wish his continual good health through his medical condition.

Now this is one old man who needs to hang it up and retire… for the benefit of all.

WOW, this is impressive! and i'd feel the same way if it was a repug who bounced back so quickly at age 76!!!!

welcome back, sir, and keep up your great work (but dont overstress yourself, we need you in congress)

Isn't it terrific that the Senator got back to the Chambers in time to cast a vote to pay his medical providers?

God bless Senator Kennedy for his commitment to health care issues. I knew he was the real mastermind behind all the universal healthcare idea not Hillary. She just takes the credit because she was married to the president

God bless you Senator Kennedy! And THANK YOU for working so hard for ALL Americans!

Thank God you came back to support this bill!! Many people forget that Medicare is also the sole health insurance for millions of disabled Americans as well! Our doctors were going to stop taking Medicare if this veto did not happen. The Republicans who oppose this, should be ashamed! I would like them to take the awful "insurance company"managed care Medicare if they had some terrible illness!
Thanks Teddy.

No, you need to take break.
You had better retire and have a long vacation at home.

Welcome back, Mr. Kennedy.

This country needs you now more than ever……………….

My best wishes for Senator Kennedy!

Too bad he doesn't retire … he is long past due.

Did Ted bring any brains back with him?

Where is McWAR? If you are a senior citizen, McShame won't give a crap about your healthcare needs. Remember not to pull the lever for him in November 4, 2008.

Ted Kennedy is the poster child for the Democratic Party. This man should be in prison for leaving the scene of a fatal accident and not seating in the Senate.

welcome back Senator Kennedy and stay strong
you can beat this Sir

Glad you'r back Senator Kennedy Stay well, we are praying for your complete recovery.

Ted Kennedy is an inspiration especially to those who suffer from the illness of cancer. YES WE CAN.

Welcome back Ted. You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Welcome back Ted… we need you!!!!
Obama '08

All the best to you Sir……!!!!

Great News! We love you and take care! Any negative comments remember it could be your family member.

Dear Mr kennedy,
First of ALL you are an incredible person as well as the rest of your family. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND!!!
Thank God you are feeling better and I wish you all the best in your recovery.
And thank you for being there today. We need you.
Stay strong and rest well.
God Bless you

Welcome Back Senator Kennedy!

Thank you so much, and the best to you.

welcome back ted,, i wish you the very best in your full recovery,,, we need your input,,, again WELCOME BACK!!!!

Which Senators missed this vote?

He's a good man, and a great American.

God Bless you Senator Kennedy.

Wow, all these folks must have turned a blind eye to Kennedy's dismal past, kinda like the DA's office in MA. Once again shows that some are above the law, no matter what.

God Bless You Senator Ted…May He (GOD) be with you and see you through this ordeal…May He (GOD) lay His hands of mercy upon you and heal you totally and completely…

WB MR. Kennedy !!
Thanks for serving USA and its people !!!!

Time to start preparing a successor. Pray that you live long enough to watch this successor who can only win with Clinton support after being trashed along with flip flopper John Kerry in the Dem Primary.

We love you Ted!
I am very happy to see that the doctors did not
cut all of your beautiful hair. You are a brillant
and courageous man. God Bless you to have
a speedy recovery.

Obama/Edwards 2008-2016

TAKE care of yourself SENATOR……..GOD Bless YOOU !!!

We love you Ted!
I very happy to see that they did not cut
all of your beautiful hair. You are a
brillant and courageous man.
God Bless you to have speedy
recover.

Obama/Edwards 2008-2016

I commend Ted for going back to work despite of a brain surgery. Nothing good to say about McCain who was out 70% of the time considering that he is not sick.

WONDERFUL! He is a great SENATOR.

Now that's a hero.

This man has been fighting for the rights and quality of life for the rest of us for a long time. It is no surprise that he came back to keep Medicare benefits alive and well.

Far be it from me to gush, but I've always admired Ted Kennedy's statesmanship. It's inspiring to see him so eager to return to the Hill so soon after brain surgery.

Democrats lead in Corgress approval ratings in the single digits, oh look Ted's back…

Now if we could just get McCain, Obama, and Clinton to show up and do some work in Washington we might get something done.

Oh, I forgot, they're too busy trying to get elected so they can 'run the country'. Ridiculous.

As the spouse of a stge 4 cancer patient, I know first hand what it takes to go through treatment. I know that my wife will continue to be in remission because she has has the same strong zest for life, courage, great health insurance coverage, and the stamina to persevere that you have, Senator Kennedy.

Yet, there are many cancer patients who will not survive due to the lack of health insurance coverage needed to cover the costs which the patient will have to bear. For example, common Tumor Markers such as CA 27-29 have now been listed as experimental because insurance carriers want to save the costs. Research for breast and cervical cancer and the early detection programs have been cut by 7% for the forthcoming FY 2009. And, just as bad, Funding for Cancer Research to the NIH and the NCI has been flatlined. So, clinical trials will be cut, or stalled, or slowed.

None of this will ever save my wife. I just hope that the great standing ovation that Senator Kennedy received today will be remembered by those standing when it's time to change the budget before its too late.

Let's stop cheering, and start doing.

Welcome home, I call us the "cranies" those of us who have experienced what we have, and lived to tell about it! Now, let's get the job done.(craniotomy)

I swear, I think Ted got the "Boston of Magic" going on now. I mean, look at it, they're winning everything for crying out loud, LOL!!!

Get well Senator Kennedy and do rest /just how you keep going is amazing .
Tell Caroline we love her and she looks like the real deal beside Obama all the way to the White house .vpvpvpvpvpvpvpvpvpvpvpvpvp

According to Jackson, a Fox News microphone picked up comments he meant to deliver privately that seemed to disparage the presumptive Democratic nominee for appearing to lecture the black community on morality.Jessie is just Jealous as a rev if you don'have anything good to say then don,t say anything……Senator Obama is a strong man…….He take hits from Mccain and his supporters,Hillary supporters the Media Blogs and has received a Good Beat Down and is still Standing Strong ,how could I leave out SEAN and RUSH …..GOD BLESS YOU SIR!

Welocme back Teddy! we missed you!

Teddy, the main Dude of the Senate, graying mane, roar away Teddy, roar like the lion you are. And get well fast dear Senator, we sooooooooo need you in those chambers.

He has had a privileged life. Question is if he is ready to face God. Every man and woman will have to ask that question sometime in their life.

GO TED! Hope your recovery continues smoothly.

The Democrat controlled Congress has a 9% approval rating! That is not good!

Oh, come on! It is a good thing when someone seems to be recovering from a grave medical problem. Good for him. But, he isn't the KING of AMERICA. Not that the Kennedy's don't want him to be.
Why wasn't everyone so nice and cordial on the occasion of Geo. W's birthday? Huh???

Yawn!

GET WELL, BUT I AM IGNORING YOU SINS YOU HAVE ENDORSED
THAT MANIPULATOR OBAMA!!!

hey moderater are you on obama payroll or should i complain to cnn that you are filtering comments that are not favourable to BARAK HUSSAIN OBAMA.

Pat-Pittsburg. RIGHT ON.

go teddy go go go

Yesssss! A true patriot indeed.
Go Kennedy! Go USA!

We are glad to see him back!!!!

Thank God, Mr. Ted is back and doing well.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Welcome back senator. We missed you!!!!!!!!

The senator approaches the well…leans over to whisper hello to Senator Obama and cuts the loudest fart in Senate History!

Welcome back Senator. God's speed in your full recovery.

Jesse Jackson is an idiot for making this kind of comments, he call him self a black activist and goes around behind close doors with Fox news and try to undermine obama's effort to help the black community, People like Jackson have been benefiting from the weakness of the black community for years, now he is trying to undermine obama's effort. Shame on you Jackson.

Glad he is well enough. But still part of the effete that have ruined this election season for this particular democrat. I have not got a lot of use for him or any of the other soft handed, out of touch, party leaders .

Godspeed on your recovery, and … way to go… taking your presidential run alllll the way to the convention when Carter had you thoroughly beat. And not by just a little the way this primary was. And your excuse then?… 'I am more electable'. But your message now? "Hillary, for the good of the party, please step down." (please note: last paragraph started sincere and ended sarcastically)

HOORAY!!

Now, let's hope he makes it to Pres. Obama's inauguration!

In reference to Jesse Jackson's comments…..Don't take it personally, Jesse. Obama talks down to everyone regardless of race. That's a small part of what makes him an unelectable elitist. Redemptive?? That gives us an interesting look into the "it's our turn" ideology - neither that or "it's historical" are good reasons to elect a president. Aren't we supposed to elect the person who will do the most good for the ENTIRE country?

Who cares for traditional politicians, its good he recovered.

The only reason Jesse is 'backing' Obama is hes black. This is the most retarded election in the history of the US. A democratic black man getting votes because people want 'change'. What change do you really expect?

'Yes we can!' Yes you can what?! Raise taxes? Pull the armed services out of Iraq too early? Lie to the American people about what your beliefs are and who you are friends with to get elected president? Yes you can!

Abby—–You call Ted Kennedy a "hero". No, the hero's are fighting the war both over seas and here on our streets. Maybe had Ted Kennedy saved that girl from drowning several years ago, I might just consider him a "hero", but I doubt it. Ted Kennedy a "hero", hardly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is a TRUE American! We love you Uncle Teddy

WELCOME BACK MR. KENNDEY– WE LOVE AND MISS YOU– MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

please please please!!!
spreading the words of jesse jackson around like he is the conduit for the community.
jesse jackson is and has never been the black leader that the media makes him out to be.he is in no position to hark upon anyones moral ground.
the fact that he still thinks he is a major player in the community at large not just the black community is a joke to many.
STOP JESSE!!YOU ARE AND NEVER WILL BE MLK JR

Did you drive off a bridge and kill anybody else while he was gone, and then leave the scene?

Welcome back, Let the Lion Roar !!!!!

I am speechless at his courage and caring…. …he is a true inspiration to us all. Welcome back and God bless to a true American hero and legend.

Thank God in heaven for his return. We all need him.

I am not sure Sen Kennedy will see this, but welcome back Teddy, we need you now more than ever. Thank you and God Bless you.

Wecome back Senator Kennedy!

Thanks for casting your vote to protect Medicare.

Senator Kennedy, we are proud and honored to have you as our
Senator and "Guardian Angel" looking out for us Seniors.

My husband and I worked two and three jobs most of our lives for
our four children, whom we were lucky enough to be able to put them
through college. (Texas A&M, St Edwards Austin, and St Mary's San
Antonio) but there was not too much left for us, We still feel very blessed. With your help we hope to continue to get our full Medicare.

Thank you for you and your family's devotion to our country , OUR PRAYERS are with you.

Mccain have flip flop double the amount Obama change his mind, but yet every republican wants to claim their man is very reliable. or saying Mccain doesn't flip flop.

I'm no democrat, but I am glad the Senator's health is improving. I would not wish that on anyone. Glad to see you back at the office sir.

Sort of reminds me of that one "High to Heaven" episode when the Senator played by Eddie Albert comes back to the Senate floor to break a filibuster (tie) after being "dead." While Ted is still with us here physically, the emotion when he walked in the hall must of being similar.

Want to see you back, healthy and readly to work for another 8 years under President Obama!!!!! Get well soon and God Bless!!

I know why kennedy is supporting obama, Its his brain tumor, he can't think straight. May be after chemo he will support hillary.

Ted's not going to take terminal cancer lying down. Are you listening, Harry Reid? If Ted can stand up to cancer, surely you can stand up to unpopular Republicans, even if they whine and pule the way they do.

welcome back.

That is simply awesome. Way to go Ted!

That is what legends are made of.

A true patriot - truly putting country before self.

You are the greatest Ted Kennedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I thought the old guy was going to retire to his estate on Cape Cod

Welcome back, sir!

Glad to see you back!! Stay strong and healthy…prayers are with you.

What a jerk Obama is. Talking about pimping one's daughter(s)!

He knew exactly what he was doing. Show the cute kids, hear them talk, make me look like a good old fashioned dad.

Then pretend I didn't know what I was doing and say I won't do it again.

Is that like saying, "Strike that from the record?"

Can't have it both ways, Barack. You USED your kids for own purposes, unlike any other president or presidential candidate all the way from Clinton to Bush and so many others who do not use little kids to make them look good.

You are an opportunistic PHONY, Barack Obama!

Ted, you're awesome!

Good going Senator Kennedy. Get them straighten out!

Great to see you back, Ted!

i think the republicans are behind this,and ,yet he still manages to make it to the floor for a vote on medi-care.a true american patriot!

God bless, you, Senator Kennedy. You've always walked the walk.

I can't wait to see Caroline's recommendation for VP also.

Go, Teddy, Go!

You don't have to like or even respect Teddy Kennedy as a politician, but you have to admire his courage and fighting spirit for what he believes in…

geez, the man just underwent surgery for a BRAIN TUMOR!!
Shows how desperate the democrats are,, calling in people who should be in bed resting. Its so very sad that they would expect someone who is healing from brain surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to come and rescue their vote.

I may not like his lifestyle nor his policitics, but I like his dedication to the job of defending what he stands for. I find his return very powerful.

Goes to show you can't keep a good man down.

I saw this live. Go go go Ted Kennedy, we love you.

This is news???????????

He needs to be out of the Senate. Term Limits accross the board. Democrats or Republicans. They are making this a Lifetime job.

Kennedy's strength and dedication is truly inspiring!

Dems `08!

Go get em Teddy

DEM 08

God Bless Mr. Kennedy

Way to go Ted Kennedy!!

Glad to see Mr. Kennedy do what it takes to bring leadership on something that means a great deal to and to all Americans.

I wish him well.

Ted Kennedy needs to "retire", at his age (76), he needs to "move-on", and find something else, to "champion".There should be a limit, on age;of our elected "office holders"; some of them, have "overstayed " their time, of "affective purpose".I'm sure, he doesn't need the money.

Guess filibusters only should be sustained when Democrat's initiate them. Apparently Kennedy didn't have the same movement to action when so many judicial nominees have been held up. What a hypocrite he is.

WE LOVE YOU, TED!

Good luck Senator Kennedy. You're one of the great ones.

Americans

THIS MAN IS THE EMBODIMENT OF SOMEONE WHO REALLY LOVES HIS COUNTRY AND HIS FELLOW AMERICANS!

GOD BLESS TED KENNEDY, AND GRANT HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY!

Welcome back Senator "Ted"!!!!!! God bless you.

Thank God…This is wonderful news. Welcome back Senator!!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

The man has courrage.

Great news! Obama said Kenedy was a fighter and he is indeed so.

Godspeed Mr. Kennedy maybe you can make a difference in the way the old people of this country are being squeezed by this president and his republican money hungry rich coharts.

Hooray!!!! Good for him!!

Sure wish I had his medical insurance.

God bless you Sen. Kennedy. Our prayer for your continued fight against your disease is always there as we continue to hold your being up in prayer and pray that our God blesses you with His grace and healing mercy.

*claps*

YES!!!

WOW! What a man! What a hero!

Time to resign Ted. Do the country a favor and retire.

What a dedicated, strong individual. My positive thoughts and well wishes are with Senator Kennedy to remain healthy and be able to continue to push measures to help people in need.

Welcome back.

Who cares…another corrupt politician. I am glad he is better though.

Ted Kennedy graces the United States of America.
