Buttigieg praised as his response to Trump goes viral

MSgt Steve Sweeney it is both parties blaming each other and accomplishing nothing. As a senior NCO, did you allow your people to blame others for not completing the mission that was assigned to him or her?

Pete Buttigieg is a very skilled communicator. He is eloquent and well spoken. He is using those skills to deflect the unwanted attention that he is getting. Regardless of what previous administrations have done, it can be undone by the next. That’s evidenced by the policies on immigration and fossil fuels that were undone in this administration. Some times you get a shit sandwich handed to you, but when you get it, you own it and deal with it. It’s called leadership. If it is broken, you fix it.
People need to stop this Democrat/ Republican crap and join team America. Everyone in the government works for us and I for one expect a higher standard.

And NO I don’t support Trump for those of you that will want to ignore the message and attack the messenger because I speak ill of a Democrat. I vote for people…..not political parties.

I will respect your opinion however, objectively, both parties need to put their big girl and boy panties on and stop throwing blame and start providing solutions. The government is like having children….. the public needs to let their representatives know that if they don’t “ knock it off, we’re going to stop this car” as my parents would tell us kids.
This isn’t a sporting event where red or blue is supposed to win….. the American people are the ones that are supposed to win. Defending either side is perpetuating the problem. Pick the middle and stop the insanity is what I want to see.

Thank you for a sensible response SSG (Join to see) ….. one very similar to the one that I posted as an answer on the same topic.

It is partisan crap to throw sticks at each other in the name of a political party. This is about now, not the Bush admin, not the Obama admin, and not the Trump admin.

As a leader, what someone has done in the past is nothing more than an aiming stake for the now and moving forward. We look back to see what we can do better or what we should continue to do….not so that we can say “Well, so and so didn’t do it!” As an excuse for not living up to our obligations.

For those that have forgotten, those in Washington work for us; the American people. The Secretary of Transportation, regardless of administration, should always be front a center on incidents of this magnitude without having to be pressured by the Media.
