President-elect Barack Obama immediately started naming his starting lineup yesterday, while rumors swirled about his Cabinet picks - including a pair of Kennedys.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was being touted yesterday as the possible administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. A New York environmental lawyer, he was among the only members of the Kennedy clan to back Hillary Rodham Clinton over Obama in the primaries - but his green credentials are seen as strong.

And picking him would likely please the New York senator - although Kennedy reportedly downplayed any level of interest.
At the same time, Caroline Kennedy's name was floated as possible ambassador to the United Nations.
But it was unclear if Caroline - JFK's daughter and one of Obama's veep vetters - has any interest in the post.

Barry is not bright. He can’t tell who’s bright and who’s an idiot. All he cares about is: Is this person evil enough to serve me? The more lazy, incompetent, inarticulate idiots he puts in these positions, the better.
I heard William Ayres is going head up the Department of Education, seriously.
Ohh sorry Akward
If he selects Robert Kennedy jr to head the EPA, it will be the single most damaging action he could take regarding the economy. The global warming envirowacko zealot Kennedy will kill the economy, no if, ands, or buts about it.
I’m sure that numbskull RFK Jr. has no problem with Ayers (0’s buddy) dedicating his book to Sr.’s murderer.
link?
Bobby Kennedy, R.I.P.
This is payoff to the Kennedy crime syndicate for their assistance in defeating the Arkansas trailer trash mob.
Yep, and that is a pretty picture of bias.
Don’t you mean Dept. of Homeland Security for Ayers.
Caroline Kennedy is SO much smarter than Sarah Palin on international affairs - her father had a few
s-a-r-c
Isn’t RFK Jr. the same guy who is Hugo Chavez’ spokesman in the US, giving oil discounts to inner city poor? This bum is anti drilling, anti nuclear and anti everything. He’s slated for an Environmental post. Caroline Kennedy to the UN, what qualifications does she have? Non, zero, nada. This am on Glen Beck he’s preaching “Just can’t we all get along?” Obama just high-jacked the Presidency with fraudulent voting, funding from our enemies and we’re supposed to roll over and support a Marxist operative.
The filthy Chicago political machine needed the help of the ultraliberal New England elitists and the Kennedy family to over come the Clinton criminals. This is nothing more than competing wings of the mob combining to knock out a common enemy.
You are without a doubt wickedly clever in pointing that out.
That’s his cousin Joe.
RFK junior has been consistently voted the “dumbest member of congress” in the annual survey of capitol hill staff. This poll is done every year and results appear once a year in Washingtonian Magazine.
As I recall, Bwawny Fwank usually makes the “smartest member of congress” list. Major league barf alert.
Given that Zero (my new Obama nickname) got elected on his piddling qualifications, he’s only doing what was done to him.
Essentially given a position regardless.
LOL. Shouldn't that be "former Republican (sort of) who left the party and now styles himself as an independent, and former Senator"?
Yeah, Obama would be reaching waaay across the aisle on this one.
