Kennedy’s speech was delivered following an unsuccessful primary challenge against a sitting president of his own party who, Kennedy argued, was failing to live up to Democratic ideals.

...We’ve lost an innocence bred from willful ignorance, which blinded Americans to the steroid-fueled excesses of the Juiced Era and the debt-fueled excesses of our economies’ latest Gilded Age. If from now on we must live with slower growth, fewer home runs, and the genuine, Little Papi...
