New in PJ Media:
A new book has come out revealing that in 2020, Barack Obama took in all the hype about the rising Democrat star, “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg, the “gay Obama,” and came up with a blunt assessment: he was too short to be president. While that is undeniably true, there is an awful lot more about Pete Buttigieg that shows he is unfit to be president, but it’s unlikely that Barack Obama is ever going to be the one to tell us about it.
The Washington Free Beacon noted that Buttigieg is “5 foot 8 inches tall at most,” but also observed that there is a “curious lack of information about Buttigieg’s height available on the world wide web.” So it is with so many things: what used to be the information superhighway is turning into the Left’s propaganda distribution center, with information that the Leftist political and media elites don’t want you to know increasingly difficult or downright impossible to find. Buttigieg’s height matters, but not in a way that is advantageous to him, and so it’s an extremely obscure bit of information.
Those who are skeptical about the importance of Buttigieg’s lack of stature should note the fact that the Free Beacon points out, that “every single commander in chief since William McKinley (1897-1901) has been at least 5 foot 9 inches tall.” And not only that: since the advent of television, the taller candidate has prevailed in every presidential election until 2000 and 2004, when George W. Bush (6’0″) beat Al Gore (6’1″) and John Kerry (6’4″), and 2020, when the 6’0” Joe Biden defeated the 6’3” Donald Trump. Hmm. If you’re thinking what I’m thinking about that last one, just remember that there is absolutely zero, none, zip, nada evidence of it, and you’re a terrible person, indeed, an “insurrectionist,” if you dare to suspect otherwise.
The height issue has long been vexing for presidential politicians. Back in 1988, the George H. W. Bush campaign ridiculed the camp of the pint-sized Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis for wanting a step stool behind his podium during the debates, so that he would appear to be about as tall as Bush. The diminutive Democrat lost resoundingly, although his far-Left policies, including a notorious softness regarding hardened criminals, likely contributed more to his defeat than his short stature.
In Buttigieg’s case, New York magazine correspondent Gabriel Debenedetti writes in his book The Long Alliance that Obama “had actually been impressed by the brains, charisma, and chutzpah of the thirty-something mayor of a small midwestern city.” That in itself calls into question Obama’s judgment, but Debenedetti adds that “Obama just doubted it would all add up to viability in a presidential campaign where image and fame mattered immensely—he thought Buttigieg was too short and, as a former volunteer for Obama in 2008, seemed too young—and where such a large field would make breaking through that much harder.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

“The gay Obama” is redundant.

Pete’s father, Joseph Buttigieg, was a Marxist academic raised in Malta. Hmmmm, like father, like son???
Pete Buttigieg, “was awarded a Rhodes scholarship and studied politics, economics, and philosophy at Oxford University, where he earned a second bachelor’s degree in 2007.”

His father was a Marxist and Pete was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship???
Cecil Rhodes was a “globalist” a man who wanted to create a “One World Government” with the British Empire being the ruling body. Hence, the Rhodes Scholarship, a way to recruit the best and brightest young people and shape and mold them into the “One World Order” mentality and then infiltrate them into every key institution around the world.

Obama: Pete Buttigieg Is Too Short to Be President
……………………………
*Good grief*. There are *many* reasons why “Mayor Pete” is not fit to be president; his height is not one of them. He is just one inch shorter than the average American.
By the way, Ukraine’s President Zelensky is an inch shorter, at 5’7″–I doubt many Ukrainians are complaining about his height right now…
Height has nothing to do with actual stature–but I would not expect the shallow and vapid Obama to grasp this.

the idiot who can’t run the transportation department, and thinks roads and highways are *racist*…shouldn’t try to run in circles, much less, attempt to run a country.
and ‘bo’ was running the country into the ground…and still is from behind the scenes, along with his henchmen. he was, and is, too evil to be president. and he was a fake, just as he and his stooge are now…fakes. it’s all a great pretense to bring about destruction, and make trouble for the majority of people.

Obama, you’ve got it all wrong:
Pete Buttigieg is too short *on wisdom and effective policy* to be President.
His physical height has nothing to do with it…
somehistory says
Has the transportation dude considered getting his legs broken to add to his height? He pretends to be a ‘mommy’…so he could become “trans-tall.”
