Didn’t the late “Uncle Ted” float the idea of Caroline Kennedy being appointed as U.N. Ambassador, long before she crashed and burned as a prospective N.Y. Senator? If I remember correctly there was supposed to be a quid pro quo for her endorsement of Obama over Mrs. Clinton.
I think maybe Caroline was given a choice—ambassador or senator, and she chose senator. Obama’s handlers tried very hard to give it to her, but she was absolutely hopeless.
Now that Teddy Kennedy is dead and out of the picture, they have no reason to do her any more favors. Because it was never gratitude; it was “You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.”
