Caroline Kennedy praises Obama as a father
Politico44 ^ | 6/17/12 | BYRON TAU

Posted on 06/17/2012 10:48:05 AM PDT by ColdOne

In an email Sunday, Caroline Kennedy says she understands the hardships of balancing fatherhood with the presidency — and said she admires the way that President Obama has managed it.

Kennedy, daughter of the late President John Kennedy, lent her name to an Obama campaign email sent out Sunday, recounting her own days growing up in the White House.

"To me, my dad was just that: a dad," Kennedy wrote. "I remember the bedtime stories -- he'd let me pick the subject (usually ponies), then make up a story on the spot."

"It wasn't until I got a lot older that I really understood what it meant that my father was the president," she wrote. "And it wasn't until I became a parent myself that I understood just how much he loved my brother and me."

"I've seen Barack Obama as a dad in the White House," Kennedy wrote. "It's just one of the things about President Obama I admire so much."

“Progressive” liberal ‘RATS just can’t help themselves. They’re always ready to make dumb, adoring statements for other ‘RAT politicians.

And then he would go and kiss the nice blonde lady in the hallway I could see while the door was closing...

I don’t want a father in the White House. I want a mean SOB in the White House...a Duke Nukem...someone ready to kick some ass when Achmadinejad gets too lippy.

Yep - he has balanced his kids and the presidency.

Except when there are cameras around he ignores them both equally and plays golf.

She is still seeing things from the viewpoint of a young child. She is still stuck in the fairy tale world of Camelot. It is obvious that she refuses to see the truth about Obama. Or, perhaps, she is just dense when it comes to economics.

She must be given a pass in several areas due to the history of what has happened in her family. But, when she defends Obama .... and campaigns for him .... she is then hurting MY family and that is where I draw the line.

Neil Cavuto, last Friday did the same routine about Obama being a great father!!! I love Cavuto, but.....on this one, he has been smoking funny stuff!!! Obama is not a father for the nation to follow, even though he is a good father to his children. Problem is, he wants to destroy all fathers and mothers so we can raise a society of pitchers and catchers!!! Neil, you should be ashamed of yourself. Caroline Kennedy, I understand. Poor girl is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and....the fathers in the Kennedy family are only there to be ashamed of, useless parents that they were and are!!!

That is not a statement by Caroline Kennedy, there is not one "Uh, you know" in it.

142 times in one interview, no less!

Really good fathers would prioritize time with children over excessive golf

Is he really a father? Perhaps Larry Sinclair has input here.

Caroline Kennedy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and reportedly has been dissed and ignored by Barack and Michelle Obama. So one can only conclude that this kind of meaningless praise of Obama by Caroline, based on his alleged superior parenting skills, is a classic case of taking manners to the extreme. Then again, it's from the inarticulate Caroline 'y'know' Kennedy. That explains a lot.
