CAROLINE KENNEDY is so ticked off at the OBAMAs she coldly snubbed them during the family's recent vacation to Martha's Vineyard, sources tell The ENQUIRER.
After working hard to elect President Obama, Caroline was widely expected to host the first family at her sprawling Red Gate Farm on the island, as the Kennedys did the Clintons when they were in the White House.
Instead, when the Obamas recently relaxed on Martha's Vineyard, they ended up renting the same place as last year, Blue Heron Farm in the town of Chilmark.
Caroline's blatant cold-shoulder treatment is evidence of the bad blood that has developed between the former close friends, say Kennedy family insiders.
Caroline, 52, is still bitter over the fact that President Obama has refused to make her part of his inner circle of advisers or to give her a plum appointment in his administration, maintained the friend.
"She feels that he just hasn't been appreciative enough, especially after she and her family's endorsement was key in helping him win the Democratic nomination over Hillary Clinton.
"It was a real personal sacrifice. In so doing, she wrecked her relationship with the Clintons, who up till then had been close with the Kennedys."

Looks like a cat fight.
Caroline, the Liza Minelli of the political world.
Got the name, and the weirdness. But not all of the talent.
Typical white person.
Caroline is feeling those tire tracks across her back.
Princess Ya’ Know.
Caroline, you’re no Kristin Gillibrand..
Cracker baby got pawned. LOL!
“You know...”
Kind'a like Mary Jo's, but not quite.
Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama in ‘08 was timed to KO Hillary’s campaign. And as the Clintons know, so will Obama know you don’t diss the Kennedys.
She looks like hell. She really, really needs to do something about her face and skin. Good grief.
OMG! How OLD is this woman? Wasn’t she about 5 when her daddy was president? She can’t be any more than 50! What the h*ll? What happened to her? She looks 90!
It used to be public service. Now, working for the gubbermint is a winning lottery ticket.
My bad! Guess I should have read it. She’s 52. OMG! The woman looks HORRIBLE! I’m not in favor of face lifts, but in her case, I’d make an exception. Caroline - find yourself a good plastic surgeon today!
Gubmint engineer here presenting himself as a data point in the contrary.
Yeah, it does look like there was a cat fight and the cat clawed the hell out of Caroline’s face.
For the record, Caroline is too dense to be a member of any administration. I remember some years back she and a friend (both law school graduates) wrote a book on the Bill of Rights. She said she was astonished by what rights were guaranteed in the Bill of Rights now that she had read it! Can you believe a law school graduate could not have read the Bill of Rights—or the rest of the Constitution?

Covert Operations
The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama.
by Jane Mayer August 30, 2010
On May 17th, a black-tie audience at the Metropolitan Opera House applauded as a tall, jovial-looking billionaire took the stage. It was the seventieth annual spring gala of American Ballet Theatre, and David H. Koch was being celebrated for his generosity as a member of the board of trustees; he had recently donated $2.5 million toward the company’s upcoming season, and had given many millions before that. Koch received an award while flanked by two of the gala’s co-chairs, Blaine Trump, in a peach-colored gown, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, in emerald green. Kennedy’s mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, had been a patron of the ballet and, coincidentally, the previous owner of a Fifth Avenue apartment that Koch had bought, in 1995, and then sold, eleven years later, for thirty-two million dollars, having found it too small.

One dignitary was conspicuously absent from the gala: the event’s third honorary co-chair, Michelle Obama. Her office said that a scheduling conflict had prevented her from attending. Yet had the First Lady shared the stage with Koch it might have created an awkward tableau. In Washington, Koch is best known as part of a family that has repeatedly funded stealth attacks on the federal government, and on the Obama Administration in particular.

There should be a historical marker at the spot:
"At this location in 1969, Mary Jo Kopechne and Senator Edward Kennedy's Presidential aspirations died when Senator Kennedy drove his Oldsmobile off this bridge in an alcoholic stupor and failed to rescue Miss Kopechne from drowning."
Yep, if we remember how things worked, first, Obama got elected. Then, Hillary left the Senate to open a New York Senate seat for Caroline. Then Caroline went on her disasterous listening tour and her campaign to be appointed to replace Hillary in the Senate was stillborn.
Caroline’s payoff was supposed to be the Senate seat vacated by Hillary. Now, whose fault is it that things didn’t go as planned? Caroline found that she couldn’t pull off the “listening tour” the way Hillary Clinton herself did when Hillary went for the N.Y. Senate seat.
