Princess Caroline

Americans don't pay much attention to politics. If they weren't so clueless they would rise up in utter outrage and vote their corporate representatives out of office. But because everyone knows that nothing is going to change, no matter who they vote for, they stay in denial and focus there attention on sports or pop culture. That's why we vote for celebrities like Obama instead of policy wonks like Ralph Nader. It amazes me how much we've reverted back to a noble elite. So that the rulers son, wife, brother, whatever, becomes elevated to public stature. There's the Bush's, the Clinton's, The Rockefeller's, and of coarse America's favorite family, the Kennedy's. And who better suited to be New York's next superstar Senator than Caroline Kennedy? It's the perfect fit, the out-going Senator is a women, but unlike Senator Clinton, Ms Kennedy is a life long New Yorker. Certainly much will be made of the fact that she will be walking in the foot step's of her uncle, Robert Kennedy. This is American mythology at it's best. John and Bobby are almost god's in the American subconscious. In England where they still have real royalty, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and his boy's, William and Harry, are the most famous people in the kingdom. It's almost scary how we mimic that. It's also interesting to note that just as Royal's in the modern age are basically figure heads, so are American politician's. Do you really believe that the boy President and his Machiavellian VP, got us into two wars on their very own? Without the consent of the people who own this country? Are you kidding me? Does this help explain why the President elect is keeping W's Secretary of Defense? Why he is surrounding himself with the same old hacks? Caroline Kennedy has said that her qualifications are among other things, that she raised a family and wrote a book on civil liberty's. I agree that raising a family is indeed a good and valuable experience. But Barack Obama was a constitutional scholar at Harvard , no less, and he still voted for the USA Patriot Act. No, Ms Kennedy's real qualification is that she is the fallen King's daughter, the Princess.
