When members of the Kennedy clan gathered to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, they did so with a very special guest of honor: the president of the United States.

That one of the best-known family dynasties in the country might choose to hang out with its most powerful man isn’t necessarily surprising. But it did mark a sharp rebuke to the one relative noticeably absent from a warm family photo the group snapped together on Sunday: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is currently mounting his own quixotic independent campaign for the White House.

“It’s not enough to wish the world were better, you must make the world better,” Kerry Kennedy, the younger sister of RFK Jr., wrote in a X post sharing the photo. “@POTUS President Biden, you make the world better.”

“Small family gathering this afternoon!” Joe Kennedy III, the political candidate’s nephew, added in a retweet.

1. That's quite a gathering!

[niyad]

2. "The wearin' of the green!" A wonderful image, although it was a bit sad

looking at several of the faces.

Just as an aside, can anybody tell what is at the foot of the woman in the print dress to the left of Joe (to our right)? Looks like it is almost resting on the foot of the woman next to her.

3. Purse, I think.

[niyad]

6. Thank you.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. "can anybody tell what is at the foot of the woman in the print dress to the left of Joe"

I did a super zoom-in and it looks like it could be a small black purse with decorative straps.

[niyad]

5. Thank you. I zoomed as far as I could, still could not tell.

7. The bottom of it looks to be pleated

and it seems like the handles are rope with a little bow, or are some kind of light-colored material.

[niyad]

8. Now that you say that, I can see it a bit. Again, thank you.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Most welcome!

9. K & R...........................

10. RFK Jr's invite must have got lost in the matrix

[Bucky]

12. And quite a few of them have that Kennedy look

Aquiline nose, power jawline, toothy smile...

And I'll bet there's at least 11 "Xavier" middle names in that gathering

13. They told him it was today.

[sakabatou]

14. RFK Jr. is the black sheep of the family

16. One Fine Day

As a freshman in college during JFK's presidential campaign who worked diligently for him, this is a powerful statement to me about the solidarity of the Kennedy family and all true patriots that we support common sense and Democracy in this nation.

17. They all look fantastic. I would like to have my picture with Joe. The hat guy wins.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. I spotted him first too. That guy almost looks like Jim Carrey

But the cutest of all is that little one in the green plaid shirt to Biden's left who is resting his head on Biden's shoulder.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. That image cheers my heart.

[Mysterian]

20. Can't blame 'em

That guy's an asshole.

[BlueKota]

21. Who is the tall red headed man

that is behind the little boy holding the President's arm, a girl, and the blonde wearing a green dress?

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I did a WAG and then looked it up and was right...

It's Joe Kennedy III.

He was originally in Congress from MA (which is why I remember seeing him a lot but not recently) and is now in the Biden Administration as a Special Envoy to Northern Ireland.

23. I thought he looked familiar
