(They deserve eachother:) Obama Double-Crossed Kennedy Family
Newsmax ^ | 07 Jun 2012 | N/A

Posted on 06/08/2012 1:47:21 AM PDT by Publius804

Ed Klein’s blockbuster new best-seller about President Barack Obama chronicles Obama’s insulting snubs of staunch supporter Caroline Kennedy, the sole surviving child of President John F. Kennedy.

Caroline even become so disgusted by Obama she called him a “liar and worse.”

Klein’s just-released book “Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House” skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot on the New York Times best-seller list in its first week in publication and has remained there for the third week in a row.

Klein offers surprising behind-the-scenes details about Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama’s relationship with Caroline and other members of the Kennedy clan.

Like Oprah Winfrey, Caroline Kennedy is among the high-profile Democrats who have been “largely frozen out of the White House,” in part due to protective senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, Klein discloses.

During the 2008 primary campaign, Caroline enthusiastically supported Obama, comparing him to her father JFK. She and her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, broke long standing ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton to strongly back Obama in the contested 2008 Democratic primary.

Caroline even described Obama as the heir to her father’s political legacy, writing, “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.”

And Caroline and Sen. Kennedy’s support even caused a rupture in the Kennedy clan, known for its tight family bond.

Know the feeling. Done talking. Even with some members of my own family. They simply refuse to admit the damage done by voting for a tingle up the leg.

Agree. The first sign of acting like an adult is taking responsibility for your actions.

Obama is a Communist, and so is everyone he associates with. They have a history of using people and spitting them out. The Dems have played with the Devil and now they are surprised the Devil is a liar and worse. Wow.

I understand; I don’t even make small talk with the libs I can’t avoid (such as at work). They are pawns in a dangerous game they themselves don’t even understand.

I have several nieces and nephews of that ilk
Thankfully I have enough who are conservative that I still have family I am glad to be around

It is strange that the black incumbents consider the Irish as a tribe. Most multiple-generation white citizens consider themselves to be Americans first. Labels have mostly disappeared because of ‘white tribe’ intermarriage.

I don’t have any idea how blacks view their tribal status.

Hispanics are very tribal. If you go to a boxing match, you would be loathe to find a Mexican rooting for a Puerto Rican against a Mexican unless there was a chunk of money involved. Looney city in Hispanic soccer fandom.

Democrats aren't supposed to lie to other in-the-loop Democrats.

I thought it was the other way around; that it was Clinton telling Ted that this upstart would be serving us coffee. Clinton was upset that Ted was endorsing Obama, and he let Ted have it.

Me, too! I recently went back to California for a few weeks. Saw my oldest friend there and she told me she is an independent but she always votes Dem. Then she said, “I am no Tea Partier.” So I said, “Well, I AM a Tea Partier,” and my cousin piped in, “I’m a Tea Partier, too!” That prompted me to say we’d better not talk politics as things might get heated.

Since 2008, I had put all known libs out of my life, including my brother-in-law. Can’t stand to be around anyone stupid enough to vote for Dems. It’s a good thing she is 3000 miles away because I would hate to have to avoid her, too. But for the life of me, I can’t understand how supposedly intelligent, kind, decent people continue voting for the party of evil!

I have a book about Ethel Kennedy and it goes into detail about what a mess her house was. Dog feces on the floor during formal parties and just general nastiness.

You would think she would have hired housekeepers.

There is no longer any democrat I want to have a cup of coffee or a cold beer with. None.

I know what you mean. I'm usually a pretty good listener, and I don't mind debating someone in a calm and reasonable manner.

The problem is, libs no longer want to do that. They only want to monopolize the spotlight, hurl insults at you and avoid answering direct questions by changing the subject. It's no longer a debate between two adults, but a debate between an adult and a spoiled child. I'm not playing that game any longer with them.

No sympatahy for caroline. I remember how ungracious she was to Laura Bush when they were auctioning off some of her mothers clothes. Hillary came in late dressed in some tiger print and caroline gushed all over her.

The only democrat I would like to have lunch with is Truman. He called them as he saw them especially when they were writting crap about his daughter....Ed Koch sometimes hits the nail on the head...he took the dems/media to task for the way they treated Sarah Palin in one of his columns. Sometimes he can be honest in his remarks but is a loyal, thinking democrat, far from perfect but in todays age calles them as he see’s them at times...

Let me conjure you, then, if you have any regard for your country, concern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from your mind, and never communicate, as from your self or anyone else, a sentiment of the like nature.

President Washington didn't mince words did he?
