(28,394 posts)They should add a couple of those sparkly symbols to his eyes and teeth! It seems to symbolize that he has a very hopeful vision of America.

(15,535 posts)Sick of old people? He looks like Alex P. Keaton.
Scared of young people? He looks like Alex P. Keaton.
Religious? Hes a Christian.
Atheist? Hes not weird about it.
Wary of Washington? Hes from flyover country.
Horrified by flyover country? He has degrees from Harvard and Oxford.
Make the President Read Again? He learned Norwegian to read Erlend Loe.
Traditional? Hes married.
Woke? Hes gay.
Way behind the rest of the country on that? Hes not too gay.
Worried about socialism? Hes a technocratic capitalist.
Worried about technocratic capitalists? Hes got a whole theory about how our system of democratic capitalism has to be a whole lot more democratic.
If you squint hard enough to not see color, some people say, you can almost see Obama the inspiring professor.
Oh, and hes the son of an immigrant, a Navy vet, speaks seven foreign languages (in addition to Norwegian, Arabic, Spanish, Maltese, Dari, French, and Italian), owns two rescue dogs, and plays the goddamn piano.
Hes actually terrifying. What mother wouldnt love this guy?

(15,535 posts)I dont think he would make it very far if his speech or the way he moved were not as masculine as they happen to be.
Then again, Danica Roem (transgendered) was a terrific surprise win and is representing her district very, very well - intelligent, classy, and is building accomplishments.

(8,231 posts)have to be honest here and keep it real. There are many people in the country who feel that way and here's the thing, I think even folks who may not like gay people can't help but like this guy.
Just Pete being on the scene I believe is planting seeds across the country, seeds of tolerance and acceptance and maybe some of 'those people ain't so bad' sentiments. Well that is what I hope anyway.

(612 posts)I was lucky enough to be at his announcement event in South Bend, Indiana yesterday afternoon, and was about 20 feet away from him as he spoke.
This picture looks unnatural, and it appears that the graphics department doctored it for effect. It almost looks like a bad wax museum product.
In this picture, he's literally "glowing." His eyes are unnaturally wide, which overemphasizes his youth. In person, he doesn't look like a teenager. On this cover, he does. It's unrealistic, and does Pete Buttigieg a disservice.

If thats what they say, they are blind. Obama in professor mode may have been calm, gentle and instructive but their styles are very different. And Obama spoke with an authority that Pete does not have (yet).
