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."

She’s doing some damage control to help their political party.

Exactly....Before that fat turd Ted died...the family was in turmoil over Ted's endorsement of The Kenyan.

Pretty much the entire family hated the Obama, except for Ted and Caroline...

Caroline was eventually turned off by the way she was treated by the Obama...like a second class citizen unlike she was used too...

I'm sure she has to swallow an handful of Valium to actually say something positive about The Kenyan

I agree with her, and I hope he gets a chance to be a full-time father starting January 20, 2013. His daughters are reaching the age when they need a dad actively involved in their lives so they won’t do something stupid with a boy their age and get punished with . . .

“If 0bama had a white daughter she would look like Caroline.”

Well, if he had a much older sister, she’d look like CK.

How would she know how he has managed it? She is persona non grata in Obamaworld.

More drivel from the maw of a libtard Kennedy. When will they just shut up and go away and leave us alone?

I was thinking, and your parents paid for your private school education precisely so you wouldn't sound like a moron.

And yet she sounds like a moron.

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.

If she were in her 20s that would be one thing. However, this dingbat has had five decades to grow up and work through her trauma and other issues. She is stuck in her fairy tale world intentionally, because she'd rather not be held accountable for her idiotic thoughts, deeds, and entitlement mentality. She is a child by choice. IOW, a typical Rat. She needs to go pet a pony and quit pestering the adults.

Neil Cavuto, last Friday did the same routine about Obama being a great father!!!

Heard a snippet of Bill Cunningham's show on Sunday night and he was doing the same thing. These country destroying pigs don't deserve any praise.

So he can't just be a lousy president or a lousy dad?

He has to be Hitler?

She lost her president father at a young age. She may be projecting here somewhat.

Could be. I don't think she has very much first-hand knowledge of what kind of father Obama is.

Some people who are still around and may vote get a warm, friendly feeling thinking of JFK in the White House as president and father. Caroline may be one of those people.

She also knows how easy it is to get those people to emote about JFK, and tying Obama into that sentiment about JFK is her contribution to Obama's campaign.

So is Barack Obama a good dad? Well, he stayed around so far (unlike his own father), but he may be as aloof and distant with his kids as he is with other people.

While I disagree with much performed by JFK, we all need to remember that had he been exposed to somebody like Obama, I doubt very seriously he would ever have condoned Obama’s position on nearly anything. Especially regarding homosexuality in the military, natural born citizenship, duty in the military via the approval of Congress, and the rule of Law.

Caroline disgraces those honorable aspects of her father by paying allegiance to a literal and performing bastard.

JFK was just lucky he died when he did. Could you really imagine the whole rest of his party and family going one way and JFK going the other way if he'd lived?

I suggest you take time and study Hitler’s rise to power and the tools he used to gain complete power!!! Yes the autobahn, yes, the Volkswagon, yes, compassionate killing of the insane and crippled, then the murder of all insane and diabled people, then the state controlled murder of old people by giving them no medication for their illnesses. Then the jailing and murder of all political opposition, then killing all Jews, then Catholics, then mass murder of thousands of Polish citizens, then complete dictatorship and control of the state......and on & on!!! And....Obama, IMHO, is a true carbon copy of ADolf Hitle!!! Time for America to wake up!!! The handwriting is clearly on the wall for all to see!!!

Also friend, study the Hitler relationship with the terrorist Muslims in the Middle East, especially with the Muslim Brotherhood that now rules Egypt. Yep, Hitler & Obama, one and the same!!! The truth hurts, sometimes, but.....the truth is still the truth!!!
