In that context I could accept her views. Yes, the 'you knows' got a bit out of control for a person who presumably had a good education, that was a let down for sure.<BR/><BR/>However, had she been making an inaugural address with millions of onlookers, I'm sure she would have had her speech professionally prepare, just as I am sure that Obama would have been equally casual if he was sitting in a restaurant having a somewhat private chat.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I think the comparison of the two speakers was unfair to say the least. The contexts, (never mind the speakers) of the two people concerned were akin to comparing apples and oranges.<BR/><BR/>I think it was a cheap shot at Caroline Kennedy, surely something to be avoided in public comment or speaking.Eirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932725665428444343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25912448.post-74188105686139070252009-02-02T20:51:00.000-05:002009-02-02T20:51:00.000-05:00Someone suggested that I might have been too harsh...Someone suggested that I might have been too harsh on Caroline Kennedy.<BR/><BR/>That person is partly right. I was harsh - much more harsh than I would ever be with my clients. However public figures are open season to critism. That includes entertainers and politicians.<BR/><BR/>I just can't believe how bad that Caroline is as a presenter.George Torokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631576952720134853noreply@blogger.com
