Caroline Kennedy poster - anybody seen it?

There's a poster of Caroline Kennedy making the rounds - I saw it on Facebook - with a supposed quote of her being fed up with Obama - and saying a few other choice things. My initial reaction is that it's a photoshopped fake. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it?

Edward Klein’s Invective-Laden Obama Book
By JANET MASLIN
Published: May 16, 2012

“The Amateur” by Edward Klein is a book about an inept, arrogant ideologue who maintains an absurdly high opinion of his own talents even as he blatantly fails to achieve his goals. Oh, and President Obama is in this book too.

Does not make it real; she can express herself just fine and she is campaigning for Obama in 2012.

I assumed this was bullshit from some RW propagandist, thanks for the link.

Snopes or some of the other sites that aren't Democratic are the only ones that will shut them up. I can't let them get away with posting that crap.
