Buttigieg vows to fix the nation's bad stuff

He can't get potholes filled in an average size town but he believes he can fight racial, economic and environmental injustice [whatever that really means] because he is President-elect Joseph Robinette Biden Jr's. Department of Transportation head and he's gay. 

What more do we need to know about the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana?

During his speech, Mayor Pete warned there was a dark side to the DOT, just like there exists a dark side to the yogurt industry and bingo.

“At it’s worst, misguided policies and missed opportunities can reinforce racial, economic, and environmental injustice, dividing or isolating neighborhoods,” he said, promising to work to deliver “equity” and “empower everyone to thrive,” in spite of his own spotty pothole record in South Bend. In fact, it was so bad when he was mayor, that the person who ran after he left the town's lofty position, ran on a pothole repair platform. Seriously.

Buttigieg, as required, criticized President Donald Trump’s approach to infrastructure. The inept mayor promised to work so “the idea of an infrastructure week is associated with results and never again a media punchline.” 

Buttigieg claimed that he was a transportation enthusiast, citing his love of riding on Amtrak trains, studying while traveling on a cargo ship, and proposing to his husband Chasten at the Chicago O’Hare airport, which is a love story that perhaps will one day be a Netflix series. 

“Don’t let anybody tell you that O’Hare is not romantic,” he said.

Biden introduced Buttigieg as the “first openly gay nominee to lead a cabinet department” — a blatant lie that discounts the fact that Richard Grennell is the first openly gay cabinet member appointed by President Trump. Grennell was confirmed by the Senate as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany and later appointed by President Trump to acting Director of National Intelligence.

It's possible that Buttigieg is the first openly gay man to serve as Mayor of South Bend, but who cares who people are drawn to sexually? 

When mush-mouth Biden spoke of Buttigieg's husband, he referred to him as "Christian" instead of his real name, which is Chasten. But let's not forget that Biden even screwed up his sister with his wife, Doctor Jill Biden, so the fact that he doesn't know the names of people who he was told will be in his cabinet should be no surprise.

Buttigieg, playing the victim card, said he grew up watching Republicans Congress blocking an openly gay ambassador nominee from serving under former President Bill Clinton, implying that the GOP blocked the guy because he was gay rather than how they viewed him on his merits.

For now, it might be a good idea for all automobile drivers to double-check their shock absorbers and beware of potholes wherever they go. This administration will make for an interesting ride.
