Jackie Kennedy disliked the Irish and cooking Irish stew

So I am the kind that knows they are out to get us so I am having a pint and bit of fun before they catch me

The Irish feel persecuted because THEY ARE AFTER OUR LUCY CHARMS!!

The ONLY REASON the IRISH FEEL PERSECUTED is cause EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET US!!

Pittsburghkid.I am sorry but..George Walker Bush is as English as could be..

My late mother was Democratic commiitte woman in Pennslyvania for many years. She was in the Oval office with FDR, Truman, Kennedy,and Carter. She said Truman swore like a trooper,didn't take crap from anyone, but was a true Democrat. FDR was a regal, but friendly Brahamin Blue Blood. Kennedy was an old tome Irish pol who could turn the blarney up and down at will, but Jackie was a complete snob. Actually, although she didn't like the Carter's political stance too well, she said Jimmy and Roslyn were the nicest, friendliest, couple in the White House

I was very surprised to hear Jacqueleen say she "despised" the French. "They are not very nice people" she says. I had always assumed she took pride in her French ancestry. Apparently not. Then I remembered reading once that Jacqueleen Kennedy was so proud when she discovered she had Irish-Catholic ancestors on her maternal side.

WOW, Jackie was smarter than I gave her credit for!

I really don't care that she didn't like us or that she didn't like Irish Stew. It is too far back for anybody to really give a sh****e

It was the same old trite and hackneyed story, impoverished nobility marrying nouveau riche for their money and then looking down on them.

My father came to America in 1918, Republican,protestant background (he hated all religion,except Quakers). It made no difference if he was a "Prod", "All dem micks are alike, lazy and drunk!" For me St. Patrick's Day in grade school, "The Irish are just niggers turned inside out!" Gee, I guess that might,possibly,give one a persecution complex.

Jackie was very proud of her French roots, not so much of her Irish ones. She liked people to think she was descended from the French aristocracy. When JFK was elected, the genealogists traced her ancestors back to a Michael Bouvier who was a peddler, or something like that, from the working class. Jackie was NOT pleased. She'd earlier had someone write up a fake book on her illustrious French pedigree. I think she thought the Kennedys were a loud, rowdy, brash clan without a lot of class. Jackie knew that JFK was no saint before she married him, and she was never really comfortable with some of his family members. She probably wouldn't have eaten, let alone cooked, Irish stew if it had been served on a silver platter. She loved ALL things French.

Poor little "precious pup"jackie.Life was so hard for her in the rarified air of Hyannis port or Martha's vineyard. Life dealt her a dud hand.

Kennedys are not the only Irish in America. Reagan's father was Irish Catholic, until he died. Reagan was permitted to chose his religion at age 12. Herbert Walker, an Irish Catholic, was the grandfather of George Herbert Walker Bush. Herbert Walker disowned his daughter for marrying a Protestant. They must have made up because his in the middle of Bush's name. George Walker Bush looks very Irish, but he never made a big deal about it like Obama.

Many of the so-called aristocrats married for the all the wrong reasons and then wonder why they weren't happy. Jackie was a very smart lady and knew what she was geting into when she married into the Kennedy clan. And she didn't HAVE to put up with his womanizing...she chose to put up with it.

CitizenWhy, I am an Irish-American, rabid right winger and proud of it. It's much better then being a wimpy liberal.
