  • This is a marvelous idea, Ambassador to the Court of St. James. I think that President Obama is arogant in not giving her a prominent position. Her endorsement MADE his nomination run. He OWES her. This lack of respect from him is disgusting. Caroline has been a class act.

  • Obama ought to do something for her. She supported him at a critical time.

  • It is fascinating that Obama still refuses to do anything for her. At the time, he needed her endorsement a whole lot more than she needed his.

  • Obama owes her big time.

  • Yeah, Ambassador Kennedy. Anybody know how many of the Adams who were sent to London?

  • It's too bad she was advised to try for the Senate seat. Wead is right here that she would probably have been immediately confirmed as Ambassador to the Court of St. James. And would have done well. The gilding is slightly off her image now. But she can recover.

  • I liked the comment about comparing the Palin treatment to the Kennedy treatment by the media.

  • I was glad to be able to catch this clip on YouTube. I knew for sure that the press would want Doug Wead's historical input.
