Report: Caroline Kennedy Picked As Japan Ambassador http://thebea.st/1c3vGKO #cheatsheet
President Obama has nominated Caroline Kennedy, daughter of John F. Kennedy, to be the new ambassador to Japan, sources tell the Associated Press. If she’s confirmed, Kennedy would be the first woman to serve in that post. Kennedy campaigned for Obama in 2008 and was co-chair of his vice-presidential search committee in 2012.
She also would bring a third generation of her family into the U.S. diplomatic corps. Her grandfather Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s ambassador to Britain, while her aunt Jean Kennedy Smith was ambassador to Ireland under President Bill Clinton.
