During the 2008 primary campaign, Caroline enthusiastically supported Obama, comparing him to her father JFK. She and her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, broke long standing ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton to strongly back Obama in the contested 2008 Democratic primary.

Caroline even described Obama as the heir to her father’s political legacy, writing, “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.”

Ethel Kennedy was so gung-ho for Obama during the 2008 campaign

After Obama won the election, Ethel invited him to visit her home but her request was met with silence. “Ethel was so angry that she went on a rampage inside her house, cursing the president and turning over furniture.”

Seeking a position as an adviser on education policy, Caroline sent the White House a long memo detailing her suggestions for reform and asking for a meeting with the president. She never got a response.

Caroline again sought a meeting with Obama while he was vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard in the summer of 2011, staying at a house close to Caroline’s. The president spurned her overture, and “a presidential snub had turned into an insult,” Klein observes.

Caroline heard back from White House sources that the president and first lady made catty remarks about how badly the Kennedy women dressed and how their homes were shabby.

Caroline felt that Michelle didn’t want the Kennedys to be part of the administration because she feared they would have too much influence over the president.

At a White House reception, Caroline said shaking hands with the first lady was “like shaking hands with a cold fish.”

Caroline was annoyed by what she called “odious” comparisons in the media between her mother Jackie and Michelle.

Caroline ultimately became so disillusioned about Obama that she said: “I can’t stand to hear his voice anymore. He’s a liar and worse.”

ouch.. well at least commie Joe still likes Obama

If you ask me there is no difference between the Kennedys and the Obamas. They all do what they want and it doesn't matter who their actions hurt or what laws are broken. They all think the world should kiss their stinking feet and US laws do not pertain to them. The fact that Obama used the Kennedys to get into the White House is no different than the Kennedys using other to get where they WERE. The Kennedys being treated like they are just another stepping stone to power is fitting. I LOVE IT. I hope Obama's treatment of the Kennedys splits the Democrat party so bad that they never see eye to eye again. :lol: :lol:
