They used a pic with Caroline Kennedy in it. The Kennedy’s are now done as a political dynasty as they gave Obama the failure liar worst president, the baton.

Ok that makes sense put I remember Teddy endorsing Obama and Caroline campaigning for him. They just about declared Obama a catholic brother at Teddy’s funeral.
