As an American with Irish heritage that grew up in democratic Chicago, I was surrounded by family members that absolutely adored anything Kennedy. I found it irritating. As a nine year old, something about Jack just didn’t sit right with me. Now fifty-five and having watched so much of the country ignore the failings and celebrate the legend of Jack, Bobby and Ted (not to mention their criminal father), I’m no longer astounded. BHO was legitimized by Caroline (nee)Kennedy and her illustrious uncle Ted when they embraced a ‘new Camelot.’ With so many Americans uncomfortable with the lack of American royalty, with BHO having been ‘crowned’ as Kennedy successor, why the surprise that we’ll use millions of Fed created dollars to celebrate socialism, criminality and idiocy? Maybe Karl Marx can get a wing . . .
