Caroline Kennedy is a long way from Syracuse.
The soft-spoken presidential scion, who four years ago this month toured upstate New York in a short and ill-fated bid for the U.S. Senate, has swept with force into her newest public role as President Barack Obama’s ambassador in Japan. And if the iconic daughter of American political royalty showed herself to be deeply uncomfortable as a glad-handing pol, she’s on her way to becoming something of a rock star in the more dignified world of diplomacy.
She has been swarmed by well-wishers in her public appearances, including Japanese men and women who offered their sympathies during the November anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s death. The Japanese TV network NHK delivered a live broadcast of her first appearance at Japan’s Imperial Palace, according to the AP, as throngs of onlookers crowded the streets. When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appointed Japan’s first female prime ministerial aide, his office mentioned Kennedy’s role in Japan as an inspiration.
Kennedy has been awed by the reception, according to her friends and political associates. Yet far from being overwhelmed, Kennedy has eased into the role of ambassador far more smoothly and naturally than she did in her last high-profile adventure, as a contender for Hillary Clinton’s vacant Senate seat.

“....but does she really have what it takes to be a good ambassador?”

Is that, you know, really necessary with this administration?
Nice ;)

When Sheila Jackson Lee needs to cite an authority, she quotes and cites herself.
She's also an aisle hog whenever a president, any president, speaks before Congress. Look for the red suit on the aisle.
As for, you know, Caroline, I wonder if she, you know, even eats Japanese, you know, food?
Here I was under the mistaken belief she was the US Ambassador to Japan...

Excellent catch!
I don’t understand the need to hype this lame chick.
Chelsea-Clinton Mezvinsky is where the MSM needs to concentrate all its efforts.

Neil Diamond wrote the song "Sweet Caroline" about/for Caroline.
Why, I'll probably never know...
