Caroline Kennedy: Withdraws Senate Bid … Is She Back in Now? Nope, Back out For Good

She’s Out, she’s in, she’s back out.

A funny thing happened on the way to Caroline Kennedy’s entitled coronation as NY Caroline_kennedy1Senator … it didn’t happen.

Yesterday Caroline Kennedy ended her US Senate bid to replace Hillary Clinton as the junior Senator of NY. Kennedy stated it was forpersonal reasons”; however, The New York Post suggests it was because she learned she was not going to be picked as Senator.

Does this mean that Republicans will be playing “Nah, nah, nah, hey, hey, goodbye…” like Obama supporters did for GWB?

Caroline Kennedy last night withdrew from consideration to replace Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton – just two months after she rocked the New York political landscape by throwing her hat in the ring, The Post has learned.

“I informed Governor Paterson today that for personal reasons I am withdrawing my name from consideration for the United States Senate,” Kennedy said in a statement released hours after the Post first broke the story.

New York Gov. David Paterson recently said on Tuesday in a statement that Andrew Cuomo was being considered for the position. Was that what caused Kennedy’s sudden decision? As Hot Air suggest, one would hardly think that Caroline Kennedy would stay in a race she was not going to win especially after making it so public that she wanted the job. The New York Senate seat of Caroline Kennedy’s to lose as it was all but a foregone conclusion with the Obama-Kennedy ties that Caroline would become the junior Senator.

What ultimately did Caroline Kennedy in for the Senate seat …ENTITLEMENT! As Jamie Wearing Fool called it, Coronation Interrupted: Caroline Kennedy, Um, You Know, Withdraws

Obama’s Inauguration: Interesting Take by The LEFT on Inauguration … Worst Inauguration Ever …

The best laid plans of mice and men …

Wow, who would have though and coming from the LEFT, Fire Dog Lake says, “Worst. Inauguration. Ever.” Is it possible that “The Chosen One” could do wrong? A golden Willie Wonka ticket did not promise you a special moment with The One. Under performing as seen by the Left, is this a sign of things to come.

That’s right, despite having in hand magic purple tickets, and lining up hours before the gates opened, I saw nothing. I heard, beyond the guns, nothing.

I followed all the signs, I went to the appointed spot. . . and what? There was almost no one who had a clue of what was to happen next. Some people who seemed to know what they were talking about stood on the back of a garbage truck and shouted–sans any amplification–so that all anyone could make out was that they were pointing in a certain direction. Most of us followed.

Honestly, what did people expect when the mass of humanity grew to what it became? Maybe people will get an understanding of what happens to logistics when events become large. A simple planned event like an Inauguration can get messed up, image what it is like to logistically deal with an unplanned event like Hurricane Katrina? Or manage a war. That’s reality, not speech rhetoric. Interesting concept that the best laid plans … don’t always work out they way they are supposed to … even for The One. Let this be a lesson to the left of past events that were overwhelmed by the enormity of the circumstances.

Imagine This Iran Hates Barack Obama Too … So it Wasn’t Just a GWB Thing

Huh, and I thought every one loved The One and all would change the minute he became President.

On the day that the United States ushered in it’s first black American President and Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office of the President of the United States the world rejoiced. Well, most of the world. It seems that some of those so-called “Hate George. W. Bush” countries really hate America. Iran, one of those countries that Democrats think are misunderstood seem to hate Barack Obama just as much as they did GWB. Imagine that! What are Democrats to think, or better yet feel? How can this be, how could they hate The One, he is not GWB. At the end of the day, maybe, just maybe some will get a clue and realize it was not Bush they hated … it was all of us.

How could this be, Iran Hates Obama Too?

As Tiger Hawk states, it looks like one country has already rejected Obama’s “peace and dignity” part of his Inaugural speech and preferred “death to Obama” chants instead. There is a nice does of reality for President Obama instead of the speeches that we have heard for the past two years. Welcome to the tremendous responsibility that is the Presidency of the United States.

In Iran, protesters burnt posters of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and waved flags in support of Gaza, Reuters reported.

“Where are the freedom seekers?” one poster read that had the word “Gaza” on it and a picture of a weeping Palestinian, Reuters reported. Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted “Death to Obama,” outside the Swiss embassy, and Reuters said it obtained pictures of Obama’s image laid on the road for cars to drive over

Iranians Chant “Death to Obama” to Protest His Inauguration…..
