Any American that has so much disdain for the Kennedy family always confuses me. This family, practically the entire family, has devoted it's life to public service. I believe that is why the majority of American people and people all around the world still have great admiration for them. They have always truly stood for "Country First". It's not just a "slogan" to them.

As for Jackie, I've always admired her lifting the American spirit through the arts. “Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.” This is not her quote, but one I've always liked.

Have you asked yourself "Why does Caroline Kennedy want this job?" Do you think it's for the money? She doesn't need it. Do you think it's for fame? She certainly has that already and never sought it. But I can guarantee you most of the other people seeking the job, are seeking money or fame. She wants to give back. To do the public service she was raised to do.

As for Palin, sorry but I don't find "Rough edges and blunt talk" just will not cut it. We've just had 8 years of this and there's no turning back.

“A culture is made -- or destroyed -- by its articulate voices.”

No, sorry, you can't cram to be President. Palin is in her 40's. She should have been much more well versed in world affairs by this time. I just don't think she's intellectually up for the job and never will be. I don't think she stands a chance. Just my opinion.
