New Obama Book Shocker: Kennedys and Obamas at War — Caroline Considers Obama a ‘Liar’
The Blaze ^ | 5/14/12 | Jonathan N. Seidl

Posted on 05/14/2012 4:38:53 PM PDT by Nachum

Despite endorsing Obama in 2008, JFK’s daughter Caroline now considers Obama a “liar,” according to a family source in Edward Klein’s new book on Obama called “The Amateur.” Caroline’s past support for Obama, which was mirrored by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, caused a riff in the family. In fact, Klein writes of an incident where Bobby Kennedy Jr. got in his uncle Ted‘s face over Ted’s support for the president. Some of the Kennedy’s diminishing support for the president is due to the Obamas snubbing several members of the Kennedy family on multiple occasions — one that sent Ethel Kennedy on a furniture-turning rant. But despite the tension, both families know the Kennedys have no one else to support, and that “really pisses [Caroline] off.”

Back in 2008, Caroline Kennedy — the only surviving child of former President John F. Kennedy — delivered a rousing endorsement of Barack Obama. “I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them,” she wrote in the New York Times back then. “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.”

Took ‘em long enough - even without a Harvard education most people with simple common sense figured this out years ago.

Old Joe was the last one what had a lick of sense and he was a mob connected bootlegger.

Are you _hitting me? He thought Hitler was the best thing since slice bread. Roosevelt had to pull him out of the British embassy before he did or said anything more stupid with/about Hitler.

Joe (and he was not alone) was backing what he believed was going to be the winning horse—plus he hated the British guts and would have sided with Satan against them.

He was evil and misguided but he weren’t dumb.

“...caused a riff in the family.”

Uhhh....Mr. Seidl, “riff” is a musical term. I believe the word you wanted was “rift.”
