Boss From Hell? Caroline Kennedy’s Work As Ambassador Slammed In Government Probe Caroline Kennedy’
RadarOnLine ^ | 4/4/2016 | Noelani Montero

RadarOnline.com has obtained a top-secret State Department briefing that rips U.S. Ambassador Kennedy’s work at the American Embassy in Japan, citing “confusion among staff” and other “major” issues!

President Obama appointed Kennedy, 58, as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan in 2013. Since then, an investigation has uncovered and detailed 65 charges against the facility, which employs 727 people and has a yearly budget of almost $100 million.

Most notably, the report revealed that Kennedy often runs over that budget, and that they found $2.3 million in “funds [that could be] put to better use.”

There is also reported “confusion among staff” across the embassy, according to the report, and “major management challenges” in the public-affairs section. Staffers also “lack the guidance they need to make day-to-day decisions on optimal allocation of limited U.S. government resources,”

One of the reasons they are afraid of Donald, he’ll cut this outright theft crap out.

At least her mother was articulate and could speak in complete sentences. She was also fluent in French and could speak Spanish.

I always thought that these high end ambassadorships were essentially goodies for donors and friends of the president. The second in charge is the one running the embassy with the ambassador there to attend parties and enjoy herself. Maybe Chad will get the best State Department employee for the job, but never a Western European or other major country.

Not Fair.

Jacqueline Kennedy grew up in an era during which women were raised to be adjunct to their husbands. She did a wonderful job as First Lady, and again as a mother to kids whose family was literally under fire. She will always be a symbol of dignity and grace under duress.

She also did a lot to enhance our White House:

Her mother was also instrumental in saving a much loved NYC landmark.

The high end embassies are for the donors to the winning party’s candidate. The UK, Vatican, Japan, France always seem to go to some knucklehead with money. There is no demand among the monied class donors to be ambassador to say Somalia, Iraq or Syria; career types always get these posts.

I know. She’s a dullard who, in another family, would be a housewife in Detroit with three kids and a Subaru. Jr. killed himself, his wife, and his sister-in-law because he thought yelling “Do you know who I am!?” would allow him as a low time VFR pilot to successfully fly a complex, high-performance airplane in IMC. Flyin’ don’t care who you are, John.

Kennedy’s - Can’t Fly, Can’t Swim, Can’t Ski, Can’t Skipper a Boat, Can’t Speak Coherent Sentences.....but they know what’s best for us.

Yeah, that and a bomb in the tail of the plane. NASA astronauts have a hard time with that malfunction, too, so maybe you should cut him a little slack on it. Oh yeah, there's also slandering the dead, but I figured you wouldn't grasp the immorality of that, so don't worry about it. And isn't it a coincidence that he would have beat Hillary for what luckily turned out to be her NY Senate seat?

This can't be correct. How can an embassy have that many people and a budget like that. No way.

I agree w/ you 100%. She was lovely & had grace galore. She lived in a glass house but don’t we all.

I always liked the story of her taking cabs in NY. She would ask the cabbie to stop at a news stand. She would get the papers & 2 candy bars......one for her & one for the cabbie.

Great post! ; )
