Obama to nominate Caroline Kennedy as ambassador to Japan

Why on Earth would this idiot administration nominate her to that post? Does she have any type of experience with Japan? Has she ever been there for any purpose other than tourism? Hell, has she ever held a real job that would qualify her for an ambassadorship? This sort of thing bugs me. I get the the cronyism thing, assign those toads to insignificant posts and such, but Japan is not a place for that. Its no wonder our foreign policy is in shambles when we see idiotic decisions like this...

(CNN) – Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of former President John F. Kennedy and a prominent Democratic backer, was nominated by President Barack Obama Wednesday to serve as U.S. ambassador to Japan.

She would become the first woman to hold the post if she's confirmed by the U.S. Senate. A top supporter of Obama's, she served as the co-chair of his vice presidential search committee in 2008.

She's the only surviving member of JFK's immediate family and has largely shunned the limelight and scrutiny associated with her famous last name. After publicly expressing interest in running for the U.S. Senate seat in New York vacated when Hillary Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, she ultimately decided against making a bid, citing "personal reasons."

obama donors getting PAID !!!

 

In my wise and generally correct opinion, ambassadorships have nothing to do with ability and everything to do with payback.

Is it right or wrong? Well, probably wrong, and you probably end up with, on occasions, idiots involved in the processes that they should not be involved in. It is also the way it has been done for as long as I can tell. Let's not forget about her gangster grandfather being named ambassador to the UK.

That being said. Carolyn Kennedy seems capable and amiable enough.

Shirley Temple Black was appointed Ambassador to Ghana i believe by President Ford; she was a actress professionally; Sat on the boards of a few corporations even tho' she never really had any true business experience; she never had any sort of experience with Ghana prior to her appointment. If Ms. Black had little experience and was ok to serve as an Ambassador, there is no reason why Caroline Kennedy shouldn't be nominated as well.

 

ok i see now...look again at the matrix

cat shes left handed there grooming here to be president

 

Fascinating. What I find interesting is that a women is being nominated for an ambassadorship to a country who's women are, well just say, not that well "respected" by the male rulers. A slap in the face to Japan...Nah...not our dear leader.

 

i got to check her out more , the un also likes her

 

The Japanese government reluctantly accepted her unknown predecessor, who was a fundraiser for the Obama campaign, but having the high-profile Kennedy as ambassador will improve Japanese-American relations. In the past, the post has been filled by some big names, such as Howard Baker and Walter Mondale, to reflect the importance of the bilateral relationship and Ms Kennedy clearly fits the bill.

 

i starting to see here theres a trail to follow too her husband and he fits into the NWO

Caroline Kennedy, huh? The thing about her is she is NOT a speaker.

When she was running for that senate seat and gave a speech or just talking to someone, I cringed.... she is a "you know" person....

"Blah, blah, blah, you know, blah blah blah blah, you know, blah blah, you know"........

That speech pattern drives some people bonkers and I'm one of them.

I'm sure Obama thinks she has the requirements for an ambassadorship b/c she 's a Democrat and a Kennedy..........

 

Oh BARF!.....

 

Bingo. I was just getting ready to post it.

She is as dumb as a box of rocks

Accepted that many Ambassador appointees are political payback. As is this one. But the woman is an idiot. Listen to any of her speeches where she is not reading. She can't put two coherent sentences together. Her brother, on the other hand, got the brains and style that evidently passed her by.

 

She's a Kennedy, which is the closest we have to royalty in the United States. It doesn't matter if she's not qualified, or if she's a moron. That didn't stop Ted Kennedy.

 

I wouldn't care one bit if Kennedy was sent off to Ghana. Japan on the other hand is a little more important to this country than Ghana. This sort of trash is what really lowers our standing in the world...

 

Aside from being a trading partner, what makes Japan any different then Ghana? Both are friends of the US.

 

Japan plays a significant role in our East Asia defense strategy, and is a far bigger trading partner than Ghana. It seriously pisses me off when either party does this. Send qualified people to represent us at the Ambassador level, or just eliminate the post, figureheads and no-nothings don't help us as a nation... This is the reason our foreign policy is in shambles, we don't send our best to the highest posts, we send the biggest contributors, what f'ing joke...

 

Wow. Is this all you got? This is what (*)(*)(*)(*)-cons have resorted to?

She's dedicated most of her life to charity work. But not all charity work is serving at homeless shelters. I would guess that she put her J.D. from Columbia to use. After all, she graduated to 10%. And it's the 3rd hardest law school in the country. But I'm sure you think she's a nitwit just because she's a liberal. That's about as much thought as you're willing to put into it.

What do you think qualifies someone to be ambassador? You do realize this is how Ambassadors are nominated all the time, right?

 

So, she's qualified to represent the US to Japan just because she graduated from Columbia?

Does she speak Japanese?

Has she ever lived in Japan?

Does she know anything at all about the place or will she get up to speed reading Cliff notes on the flight over there?

 

Whatever nonsense you are spouting has what to do with Japan? Oh, nothing, continue your meaningless rant... In the future please do try to stay on topic... Thanks in advance...

 

I brought up Columbia to point out that she's not just some nit-wit. But I realize that it was necessary for you to straw man that. I don't hold it against you.

And again, you realize this is how ambassadors are chosen all of the time? Many of them have never even been to the countries they are chosen for.

I'm sorry that I have to explain to you how providing one's credentials is relevant when the OP is questioning them.

And as I said, this is how ambassadors are chosen all of them time. This is not unprecedented.

 

My point, before you went all off topic about meaningless charity work, was that ambassadors should probably have some experience with the country they will be in. I see that went over your head, as you were too busy licking Kennedy's boots to bother to read anything that might pull you away from your idol worshiping...

 

You asked if she's ever had a real job that would qualify her to be an ambassador. I answered that she was a lawyer for charities. The fact that she is an attorney pretty much qualifies her to be a representative. Ever notice how many lawyers are serving in congress?

As I've said time and time again, it is not unprecedented for a president to appoint 'non-career appointees.' Not only did Bush do it, but he did it at a rate far greater than his predecessors. I'm sure you're ready to criticize that as well, yes?

 

A lawyer for American charities qualifies her how for being an ambassador in Japan? That sort of nonsense is how we end up in such situations. Has she practiced international law, with particular emphasis in Japanese law? If not, being a lawyer doesn't mean squat. A law degree is nothing but a high priced piece of paper, has she ever done anything with her law degree in which people would know she is even worthy of it? Are you honestly trying to tell me her name had nothing at all to do with her getting into those schools in the first place?

I'm saying the practice of just cronyism when it comes to our ambassadors is wrong, for all sides, and this is a stupid pick. I see that the lick spittle's can't quite understand that and defend Kennedy, perhaps in homage to her father, because she has done nothing to deserve that post...

 

Good place to stash her, just watch the Saki cabinet.
