28 ao\u00fbt 2009<\/a>, des indications sur ces incidents.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abAttempts to use the emotion of the moment to revitalise hopes of healthcare legislation quickly ran up against the harsh political realities of Washington and the immediate practical impact that Mr Kennedy was perhaps the only politician on Capitol Hill who could have forged a bipartisan compromise. His death, and the news that a special election to fill his seat will not take place until January, also means that Mr Obama will be without a 60th majority Senate vote in the critical weeks ahead, when the fate of his healthcare plan will probably be decided.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbRepublicans were happy to praise Mr Kennedy but none appeared ready to embrace the healthcare reform plans to honour the memory of the political giant. Three Republican senators who were close to Mr Kennedy John McCain, Orrin Hatch and Judd Gregg said that healthcare legislation would be much closer to passage if Mr Kennedy had been able to be involved in negotiations in recent months, when he was fighting the brain cancer that eventually killed him. I think we may have made progress on this issue if he had been there, Mr McCain said. He had this unique capability to sit people down at a table together and really negotiate, which means concessions. And so, he not only will be missed, but he has been missed. Mr Hatch said: We would have worked it out on a bipartisan basis.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbEd Feulner, the president of the conservative Heritage Foundation, chastised Democrats for invoking Mr Kennedy in their push for healthcare reform. He said: It is wrong and tactless to use Senator Kennedy’s death, or anyone’s, simply to advance a particular policy agenda. This is a time for genuine tribute, not crass politics.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbRush Limbaugh, the conservative radio talk-show host, said: The Left is exploiting him, his death and his legacy, and they are going to do it, as predicted, to push healthcare through.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tOn est loin, tr\u00e8s loin, des exhortations du seul s\u00e9nateur qui avait un temps de service au S\u00e9nat sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 celui de Ted Kennedy, le s\u00e9nateur d\u00e9mocrate Robert Byrd: \u00ab[We have<\/em>] to use the moment to stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilised debate on healthcare reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tD’une fa\u00e7on assez symbolique et significative, on trouve dans l’hommage des trois s\u00e9nateurs r\u00e9publicains (McCain, Hatch et Gregg) une illustration paradoxale des effets de la mort de Teddy Kennedy. Ce qu’ils nous disent en quelque sorte, non sans \u00e9motion, estime, etc., c’est que le dernier homme qui pouvait forcer \u00e0 un accord bipartisan, le dernier grand unificateur du syst\u00e8me s’en est all\u00e9. Bien s\u00fbr, on parle d’un seul th\u00e8me, d’un seul sujet, mais la signification symbolique du propos n’en est pas moins tr\u00e8s grande. Si Teddy Kennedy n’avait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 malade, \u00e9videmment indisponible durant les derniers mois, lors de son agonie, sans doute aurait-il trouv\u00e9 la conviction, l’influence et l’habilet\u00e9 de forcer \u00e0 un compromis. Cela revient \u00e0 nous dire, pour la question des soins de sant\u00e9 mais, au-del\u00e0, pour le syst\u00e8me lui-m\u00eame, que la bonne marche du syst\u00e8me d\u00e9pend d’un homme, Teddy Kennedy dans ce cas, et que lui parti l’espoir d’une bonne marche du syst\u00e8me s’en est all\u00e9 avec lui. D’ailleurs, ce constat de la capacit\u00e9 d’un homme disparu de faire encore fonctionner le syst\u00e8me n’est plus jamais dit, aujourd’hui, que lorsque l’homme a disparu. Kennedy encore vivant et d\u00e9j\u00e0 patriarche, n’avait pas r\u00e9ussi, sur d’autres th\u00e8mes que les soins de sant\u00e9, \u00e0 freiner la d\u00e9cadence du syst\u00e8me. On comprend qu’il s’agit moins, ici, d’une contestation de ses qualit\u00e9s, \u00e9videmment bien r\u00e9elles, que la reconnaissance, pour le syst\u00e8me, qu’il est trop tard.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tD\u00e8s lors, le vieux lion du S\u00e9nat ne laisse pas derri\u00e8re lui une impulsion d’unification mais, paradoxalement, un ferment de division. Le syst\u00e8me n’a m\u00eame plus de respect pour ses morts les plus fameux. Aujourd’hui, Teddy Kennedy, qui devait \u00eatre le grand unificateur, devient l’objet de pol\u00e9miques extr\u00eames dans le cadre de la bataille du syst\u00e8me des soins de sant\u00e9. C’est toujours cette m\u00eame caract\u00e9ristique de mont\u00e9e aux extr\u00eames; s’il n’est pas un grand unificateur \u00e0 cause des tares d’un syst\u00e8me incapable de retrouver son \u00e9quilibre, il sera un objet de division, une cause de soup\u00e7ons et d’invectives, justement \u00e0 cause des tares du syst\u00e8me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
