Caroline Kennedy: Kennedys Work Twice as Hard

If she had grown up in the real world, Caroline Whatever-her-last-name-is would know that women always have to work at least twice as hard as men to be successful and that the woman she’s trying to replace has worked harder than that her whole life. Any other woman with Caroline’s complete lack of qualifications would not be being mentioned. It is her Kennedy name that got her on the vice-presidential selection team, nothing else.
How nice that she has visited a school in the Bronx. Has she said anything at all about a desire to represent the people of New York in the US Senate? Does she even know that that is what Senators do, or does she think she’d be part of Obama’s administration? It seems she has little idea of whose seat she’d be getting. She would not, ever, be running against Schumer. Maybe it’s better if she just doesn’t say anything.

……”work twice as hard…”?
2 x 0= 0. Only in the donkey party
does this logic fly.

Obama appeared to work twice as hard….but had William Ayers writing his memiors for him, after missing the deadline from his publisher. Obama is a bad writer as evidenced by the poetry published at his college, and the essay on community organizing that was published by Univ. of Ill. Ayers, is a gifted writer and talks like he writes. Obama cannot talk like Ayers writes. Ayers and Obama met at Cooper’s Union in NYC, at communist meetings, in the early 80s.

I hope that the media will continue to be on Mrs. Kennedy case, so that she will learn, appreciate and ultimately admire Mrs. Clinton for what Mrs. Clinton has endured all these years. Mrs. Kennedy has to earn her seat.

jpt quotes Caroline Kennedy:
“I helped run the vice presidential search for Barack Obama. I have a good working relationship with him. I want to be able to be a part of the team that uses all my relationships.”
These are reasons to be part of the “Obama” organization’s court — NOT to be a U.S. Senator.
Kennedy sat out the Bush coup with nary a public murmur, not even managing to VOTE. The people of NY — as opposed to DC political celebrities who have “relationships” with Kennedy — might like … Rep. Nadler, or someone else who, unlike Kennedy, doesn’t have to start at the top just because Senator Schumer thinks she’s cute.

“She would not, ever, be running against Schumer. Maybe it’s better if she just doesn’t say anything.”
Wouldn’t THAT be nice?
Maybe little Caroline could become one of Michelle Obama’s ladies of the bedchamber. Obama could use some help dressing herself, if that rouge-et-noir black-widow frock she wore to the acceptance event is any indication.

The country should consider itself Lucky that Caroline wants to serve. She will no doubt make an excellent senator. Caroline Kennedy is a class act all the way.

(T)he Commission on Presidential Debates? The one that allowed Gwen Ifill to moderate a debate even though she had a book ready to drop on inauguration day about Obama?

Her mother loved campaigning? Since when? I was always under the impression she detested it-many books have said so. And books she wrote? If her name was not Kennedy she never would have been published. I am sure she is smart and capable-but let the NY voters decide!

Hey Deb,
It sounds like Caroline knew her Mom better than the tabloid book writers that were trying to make a quick buck. Give her the office, she is the best political strategist of the past decade for sure. She worked the Kennedy magic to launch Obama into office. That’s got to be worth something.

Hey Nub-tail,
You are obviously filled with right-wing distorted jealousy of all things Kennedy. What do you have to say about Teddy? And Bobby? And Jack? (I can’t say I knew him personally, well enough to call him Jack, but then again I can tell you don’t know Jack either).

“”….there was a sense that we have to work twice as hard. “” This statement finally solves the mystery of WHY the elitist political hacks always claim that the illegals are such a hardworking bunch.
thank you carOline fo letting that one outta the bag.
and as for j-lo’s nabe ?
what was the big deal ?
Many a worse area nationwide ,and many of us took offense at j-lo’s misrepresentation .

NO WAY, NO MORE INEXPERIENCE SENATORS
As a New Yoker and tax payer, please run and speak out your opinions in 2010 campaign, if Caroline Kennedy
want to have the replacement seat. It’s not time absolutely for New Yorker to need the senete who doesn’t have experience at all, but only family back grounds, money from the late parents and brother. NY has been faced with a lots of problems as Wall St. collapsed. Gov. David unveiled that the budget of 15 Billions and some decades public teachers will be cut by NY States from not three years later, but three weeks later, 2009. The tax revenue of States of NY will reduce from 5 billions up to 11 billions. The anguish of middle class with tax payer in NY over illegal immigrants who never pay taxes, but have taken medical benefits from States Gov have been growing and growing. It’s emerged this county and that county. Many NY residents’ve been afraid of loosing jobs, home and family. The Senete seat must be replaced experiences person only.

I think Caroline Kennedy has great qualifications — she is a brilliant, educated lawyer, rainmaker, fund raiser, she has the president-elect’s ear, she is intelligent and respected, she knows the political process and life in the public eye. She has specific knowledge of civil liberties and education. SHe will know how to get things done. So what are the qualifications that the critics are actually looking for?

Alex (7:38:01 p.m.) Caroline is not Mrs. Kennedy; she is Mrs. Schlossberg. Her mother, Jacqueline, was Mrs. Kennedy.
Frankly, I don’t care WHO Caroline admires. Neither of the Clintons stand tall in my book and for good reasons.

Well, at least we now have it in so many words, that the Kennedys intentionally “use all their relationships” intentionally. I wonder if her friends are looking for cover this week.
The whole article is about what she says about what other people are thinking (or she thinks they’re thinking) about the possibility of her being appointed to a position she hasn’t earned. Talk about self-absorption!
If such an interview/article had to be done, this approach IS the only possible take since she hasn’t done anything and certainly doesn’t intend to say anything that anyone can get hold of.
Come to think of it, she’s the perfect match for Obama. No content. All talk. Considered untouchable and unaccountable. My only confusion is why on earth any of the Dimobulbs are negative on her appointment: she’s perfect for them.

I’m a Dem but I must say there is a great deal of hypocrisy in the way people slammed Sarah Palin’s lack of experience yet think Carolne Kennedy has the experience to be a Senator? The way she is going about this reeks of entitlement and arrogance. Let the seat be filled by someone who has already served in public office.If Caroline wants the seat, let her run in 2010 and earn it the way Hillary Clinton did. Maybe now Caroline will respect all that Hillary has been through in her political journey.

this is a bad move, and so sad for the kennedy name, she would better serve her family name by staying behind the scene, i guess as she has in the past.
it does not seem she has been preparing herself to run for political office.
(i don’t say she needs to have held some office before-but there should have been some public showing of her preparing herself) this really does seem like,well i have raised my kids, and done this and that, hummm, i guess i will try politics, what about me being a senator.
did she ever serve on the pta, school board, anything?
i love going to new york, really like the people, i don’t think they will approve of this,
mr. pattersen may APPOINT her, but i don’t think the people of new york will elect her. it will take her two years just to learn the job.
she should think again about this
mario should be senator.

journalist, being professional, and us not knowing their own personal views went out loooong ago.
plus he must be young and new at this,
because it was a poor choice of words,
(i am and always have been a kennedy supporter, this is just a bad move,
saying the kennedy’ aren’t bullet proof
what kind of nut must he be
as far as i am concerned, anytime we hear good news about a kennedy is good.
they have done much good for this country.

Tina and Ann:
What experience are you talking about?
I thought people learn through mistakes they make!
Our George Bush was an experienced Gov.
now see how he has made the country to slip backwards. 75% are glad to see him pack his bags and disappear.
What experience is it for then?? Those who do not learn through mistakes they make are called “ignorants”!

How in the world can the same people who dismissed Sarah Palin as inexperienced think Caroline Kennedy is qualified? Sarah Palin for all of her faults achieved political success based on her own hard work. What has Caroline ever done? Sarah Palin was a mayor, a member of a state wide regulatory board, and then a governor. Caroline Kennedy has basically put out a couple of books that cite poetry.
Where is the media caricature of Caroline saying she was “dismayed” that she hadn’t voted? Where is the same treatment Sarah Palin received? The media once again has shown that it is absolutely incapable of holding Democrats accountable for anything or treating them with the same attitude they treat Republicans.

Well on politico it says that kennedy says she wont run in 2010 if she is not appointed. What’s that about? does she not have the guts to run if she think she’s the best thing for NY? People knock Hillary, but she ran for senate she wasn’t appointed she also took her lumps like a woman. I mean her husband was impeached for lying about having sex(now who does that affect but Hillary and bill?)and she still had the guts to run for president and she came pretty close to winning the dem nod.

“it would be great if he was here”
Agreed, Ms. Kennedy. John Jr. would have been unstoppable, and they knew that. It takes great courage to take this step. God’s grace and protection upon you.

“Agreed, Ms. Kennedy. John Jr. would have been unstoppable, and they knew that.”
Actually the bar exam did a pretty good job of stopping him.

Hey Bushed in the USA,
Caroline Kennedy raised MILLIONS for public schools. How much did you raise?

Please, no more Kennedys anywhere close to DC. Look at their liberal mess they’ve left for our great-great-great grandchildren.

Absolutely! Our “great-great great grandchildren” or kids and family members don’t deserve healthcare so kick those darn Kennedy’s out!

Her mother married “onasis” and snubbed
her nose at the US. How soon the folks in the US forgets. How many times has a kennedy family member been in trouble with the law? How soon we forget.
Camelot…my foot.

bushed the usa: You do your posts, I’ll do mine. Her mother is part of the kennedy history, and she was no saint, she snubbed her nose at the US. This girl has no business in the government…she has hid out for years and now she comes onto the scene and we are suppose to give her this senate seat because she is a kennedy. Why? Just to make sure uncle teddy’s legacy is carried on with more liberal garbage.

If Liberals are ignorant enough to elect inexperienced do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do self-serving politicians like a President-elect with questionable relationships and origins, and a U.S. Senator who whose only real experience was covering up for her adulterous husband, what’s another undeserving and unproven politician in Caroline Shloc.. Schloch.. Sh.. “Kennedy”?
Good luck running and keeping the country safe Libbies, you’re going to need it. LOL!!

The same people who bashed Sarah Palin for not having enough experience to be the VP of the United States are the same people supporting Caroline Kennedy for the Senate seat. Sarah has way more experience than Caroline, yet Caroline is being welcomed with open arms. The hypocracy is thick on the left!

Has anyone heard the audio of Caroline being interviewed. She can barely string a sentence together.

I cannot believe that Caroline K. Schlossberg has a law degree from Harvard. Sarah Palin only had a journalism degree and she is much more politically talented than Caroline Kennedy. Palin is also a much better speaker (who needed work, but you could see she had potential, as well as the moxie.) Caroline Kennedy is a shrinking violet she has nowhere near the political instincts or charisma of Sarah Palin. Palin was torn apart by the media, Caroline gets a pass. There is also no comparison with Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton never gave up, she campaigned hard and actually held jobs in law firms.
There are many other people who should be considered for this position before Caroline Kennedy who wants to ride in on her father’s coattails.

Hey New York: We’ll take Caroline and you can have Arnold–The Dumbya of the West!

I was for Caroline Kennedy for congress until I found out she is for GAY MARRIAGE her DAD would turn over in his grave if he were alive to see this. This country is going to hell in a hand basket. GOD is going to turn HIS back on America if it doesn’t change.

Caroline is DISMAYED to hear that she missed voting sometimes?
Sounds like something we’d hear from a senile person!
C’mon, Caroline, you knew that.
Is there an honest politician, or wannabe?
