Kennedy’s Credentials Debated in Senate Bid - NYTimes.com

Caroline’s Credentials?  Who needs credentials?  Nobody else needs credentials these days why should she.  Barak Obama and his organization doesn't even have to prove with valid documentation that he is a natural born citizen, so why does Caroline need any credentials or even experience? 

Give her the job, I'm sure she will do a great job.  After all she is a Kennedy, and that should be enough as far as credentials and experience goes, right?

There are too many of these kind of stories in our country these days.  Maybe that explains why so many of our political leaders are corrupt to the point that they blatantly practice their crimes without apology or embarrassment, even when they are found out.  Like I have heard “its not wrong unless you get caught”, and even now, its “don’t stop until they stop you, even if you do get caught”.  Is this the pattern we are setting for our future?

Should Caroline Kennedy get the job just because she asks?  No way!  She shouldn’t get this seat on the Senate anymore than I should, and I’m older and more experienced in life than she is.  I’ve been a hard working man all of my life!  And yes I am a natural born citizen, and I can prove it with a valid birth certificate!

If Caroline wants to hold an office, she should run for that office just like everyone else, and stop running around with a silver spoon hanging from her mouth. 

As American citizens we need to start electing our leaders on merit, reputation, and ability, rather than popularity and charisma.  The crisis we face today is simply the fruit of our choices made yesterday.  What does that say?  If things are as bad as they are today, can we withstand our decisions when they ripen tomorrow?
