OPINION:
According to an official government audit of the management and operations of the U.S Embassy in Japan, Caroline Kennedy has made a mess of the place (“It’s no Camelot! Caroline Kennedy’s oversight of Japanese embassy slammed,” Web, Aug. 25).
This is no surprise when someone such as Kennedy is appointed to a position of responsibility without any management experience or understanding of the mission.
President Obama has made another major mistake by sending Ms. Kennedy. She grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth, but that is not a qualification for the job in Japan. The staff and the Japanese government do not take her seriously; she is in the wrong place at the wrong time. She needs to be recalled now.
Mr. Obama can have a little ceremony in the White House and present Ms. Kennedy with a certificate of appreciation for her service as ambassador to Japan. Then he should let her go back to her life of “Camelot,” where she can host fun parties for her friends.
