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,”

Good golly...that was frustrating to watch.


It was painful. I could only get about half way though.

And she’s our Ambassador to Japan?

I can imagine allot of that chunk of change now goes to extra security thank to Obama and Hillary turning what was once one of the safest jobs on earth to open season on US ambassadors. Still allot of waste there.

She’s just a baby murderer, although she wrote a book celebrating Roe v. Wade, which makes her a bit of a standout even among Kennedys.

This briefing can’t be too top-secret since I read an article just like this on FR late last year.

You are correct, and I think this is fertile ground for a general election campaign.

Hillary says she's never been influenced by donors, but I bet if you looked at who her ambassadors were for France, Belgium, Sweden, etc. You'd find that they were Democratic donors with little, if any, qualifications.

Before being appointed Ambassador to Japan, I doubt Caroline Kennedy spoke Japanese, had any real experience in or connection to Japanese culture, or anything else that would recommend her as our Nation's emissary to an important ally. Heck, she may not have ever traveled to Japan before.

Wow. I would be stumbling over words and nervous but don’t think even I’d be that bad. And she has a phalanx of advisors, etc. and grew up in a family that knows how to deal with these situations.

She’s worth about $100 million. Seems she could have worked this out.

Thanks.

I vaguely remember going to visit Grand Central Station when I was a kid.

It’s a shame Penn Station wasn’t saved years ago.

To hear her speak seems like she is dumb as a box of juju bees

I'll never forget the interview with her I heard in which about have the words she used were "you know." Trump tells the story of Caroline calling on the 0bma State Department looking for a job. She reportedly was asked: "How would you like to be Ambassador to Japan? Whereupon she answered delightedly: "Really?!"

You know that if sweet Caroline would have not said “you know” so many time in her interview you know she might have been a senator you know.
