but he needs a complete Cabinet position to gain "national experience" - something opponents claimed he didn't have because he was "just a mayor."
So, put him in charge of a Department and let him work his magic, get that experience, get to "visit" the White House often, and keep his name in the papers, er, on the news and web pages - with many visits back to FAUX SPEWS to kick ass again and again!
He's great - he's brilliant - he's gonna' go far!

... and the most frequently?

One of his biggest skills is in communicating important information effectively in ways that are difficult to refute and easy to understand.

A cabinet post would be great as well. Especially since he has some executive experience, But that type of position would have him in the "shadows" most of the time.
My desire for him as press secretary would have him in front of the American people EVERY DAY.

His wit and quick retorts of right wing "gotcha" questions would be a joy to behold on a DAILY BASIS!!!!

Any way you cut it, he needs a job and the oncoming admin will find a place for him. That kind of talent you DO NOT leave behind.

it is not an ADMINISTRATIVE position - it's a PR position. He's the "mouthpiece" for the President and while he does have "decisions" to make ("hmmm, do I call on him - he was mean to me yesterday" ......... oh, wait, I'm thinking of how Prayer Sanders handled it!).....
it would keep him in the news.
I like the idea of UN rep - he speaks how many languages?
But yeah, he needs a job in Joe's administration - and WE need him!!!
