Can you imagine Obama without his teleprompter and C. Kennedy alone in a room? It'd take 'em three hours to say 'Hello'.

Pity. Your loss.
What on Earth could an Ambassador to JAPAN possibly achieve that's noteworthy? Are we at war with Japan? Is there some sort of animosity between us? Are we at odds over something i'm not aware of? When's the last time you heard of anything pertaining to the Ambassador to Japan?

World War II??

LOL

It's funny -- she gave that ridiculous speech at the DNC in support of Obama, then apparently turned on him in Edward Klein's book "The Amateur". Given how odd Obama is, he probably nominated her just to **** her off.

She heard that Japan invented kamikazes.

And sends her just about as far away from the United States as it's possible to get.

Hmm, maybe he's a better leader than she thought.

In a country where Ted Kennedy could be elected for life, especially after Chappaquiddick, you're asking Americans to fall out of love with this clan?

Politics at it's best...

Do we need more reasons to scrap the Republican, Democratic and Liberal parties?

Or is this just obama kissing the kennedy family a**?

I've just never understood the fascination with the Kennedys, whose family tree is littered with drug abusers, wife abusers, alcohol abusers, self abusers, sex abusers, and just general morons.

Perhaps the only family in the history of this country that makes the Kardashians seem polished.

We really don't need any more reasons.

I don't think this is Obama kissing a**, which he fancies himself too dignified to do. But honestly, I can't figure out exactly why he's doing it. It's not like she has any social skills that would serve her well in Japan.
