Today was his first public appearance since the DNC. I was so glad to see how strong he looks, and thought you might enjoy seeing this encouraging look at the Senate's Liberal Lion.
The President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, visited Senator Kennedy at his home in Hyannis:
She presented the senator with her country's highest civilian award -- the Order to the Merit of Chile -- in recognition of his opposition to the country's 1973 government overthrow and work to cut off military aid to dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Senator Kennedy also expressed his opinion of the proposed economic bailout:
BOSTON (AP) ― Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is weighing in on national affairs with increasing frequency as he recovers from brain surgery, said Tuesday any economic bailout package passed by Congress must include accountability for Wall Street and full disclosure for the American people.
The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, forced sale of Merrill Lynch and bailout of insurer AIG are part of a dizzying array of events "that threaten the economic security of the United States and other countries," Kennedy said.
The Massachusetts Democrat also praised the Senate for passing legislation aimed at equalizing insurance coverage for those with mental health as well physical ailments.

I was thrilled to see him looking so healthy, and wanted to share this with you.
Bless you, Senator Kennedy, and may your amazing recovery continue.
