It was disgusting. Who did they think they were and who needed their OK? Neither of them had any personal accomplishments under their belts (now Caroline has been appointed by Obama to be Ambassador to Japan because of her foreign relations expertise? No? They were just related to people of accomplishment. Sound like what we fought the Revolutionary War to stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
