WASHINGTON – Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, (D-Mass.), suffered a seizure and was wheeled out of the luncheon honoring President Obama.
Kennedy, who was operated on for a malignant brain tumor last summer, is one of the lions of the Senate and was one of the first people to endorse Obama's candidacy.
"He was there when the voting rights act passed….so I would be lying to you if I did not say that right now a part of me is with him, I think that's true for all of us," Obama told dignitaries gathered at his Congressional lunch . "It's a joyous time but it's also a sobering time. My prayers are with him and his family."
