When a father dies as mine has you go back in your memory and remember him as I have done often.
Caroline Kennedy's father died when she was so very young she no doubt has very few memories of him but she has something none of us can have.
She has many instances of her father over the years talking on film about his hopes and dreams.
today they showed a tape of him in a news conference and a reporter ask him If you have a son would you want him to enter polities and he answered yes I would and if I have a daughter I would want her to do the same.
If Caroline has seen this and I am sure she has it would be a message from the grave from her father.
Her brother is dead and if anyone carries out her fathers wishes the job fall to her.
Probably this is why she is venturing out into the political world at this time.
We never know what a burden we place on our children's shoulder after our death.

I have always thought she would eventually go into politics. It is in her blood. We have an ice storm going on here. Ice, sleet, and snow. I have about 3 inches of snow on top of ice!
Last night I watched a tour of the White House with Jackie Kennedy. It was on CSPan and the date was Feb.1962. At the end, President Kennedy came in and talked for quite awhile about all the renovations in the White House and how it is each President's responsiblity to keep up the home that belongs to America. He made a reference at the end that he or she should always be aware that they are the caretakers of this great place. Of course, I caught that he also said "she" and had the wonderful grin of his. I say, "Go...Caroline!"
I have always had a soft spot for John-John and Caroline Kennedy. I think if she wants to be a senator, she should go for it. It's laughable that some of the politicians complain that she's not experienced, blah, blah, blah. They should look around them in the Senate Chamber, and then go look in a mirror. Many of them were unprepared when they ran for the office. And, some of them remain so.
