After remembrances by sons Teddy Jr. and Patrick Kennedy, President Obama delivered a eulogy at the funeral service of Senator Edward Kennedy. We hear that former Kennedy staffer Cody Keenan, senior advisor David Axelrod and speech writer Jon Favreau helped Obama craft this eulogy.

The text of the President’s eulogy is also on TedKennedy.org.
