Mahalo, Pete Buttigieg!

Thank you, dear Cha, for posting this clip.
I miss hearing him talk so much.

(297,908 posts)I know what you mean about the way Pete talks.. and it couldn't be more true..
With all the intense clusterfuck going on all around us.. it's soothing to the soul to have Pete out there saying this.
Mahalo and StaySafe!

I really hope he is under consideration for a cabinet post or maybe even White House chief of staff.
Cha
(297,908 posts)Biden's cabinet or CoS.. or how about Press Sec.. like Josh Earnest did for Pres Obama?
DFW
(54,465 posts)Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, maybe?
Of course, after Ben Carson, Bart Simpson could do a better job at HUD.
Cha
(297,908 posts)oh could he be whip smart up there everyday and what a contrast to the Liars trump foists on the American People.
Ben Carson.. what a sick joke.. it's hard to fathom how people can be so gifted in one area and be such complete sociopaths in general.
DFW
(54,465 posts)But it's not a position that requires a Rhodes scholarship, experience as head of a city government, proficiency in eight languages and combat experience (well, considering that Fox Noise now has White House press accreditation, maybe I'm wrong about the combat experience!).
Cha
(297,908 posts)about Pete's speaking 8 languages including English. It would be outstanding if he could be in capacity to put that to good use!
Combat good come in very handy!

(54,465 posts)I speak 8 languages PLUS English, and you won't see ME trying to be Biden's press secretary
My dad could have done it, as he was a member of the Washington print press for 50 years. But he loved his day job, and wouldn't have gone for it, even if it meant a pay raise (I have no idea what the WH press secretary makes, but considering how many Trump has had, I hope it has a REALLY good severance package!).
Actually, in 2016, I did get some vague feelers about being Hillary Clinton's ambassador to Germany, but that died with the election. It would have been flattering, but I'm not a career diplomat, and Germany is important enough for them to deserve a pro (something Trump has NOT offered them, but what else is new?). Of course, I do speak the language, have some contacts in the German government, if only with the Greens, and my wife is German. Plus, we'd only have to move from Düsseldorf to Berlin, not Dallas. It would surely be heady stuff to serve with such a great team, but I think I'd miss my day job.
