    Not as hard as it looks, really, but a question so common, Buttigieg includes a pronouncer in his Twitter bio.


    He’s an “elder millennial”—with an almost bizarrely perfect résumé.

    Pete was born on January 19, 1982, (near the cusp of the millennial generation that starts at 1981) to two University of Notre Dame professors in South Bend, Indiana. Buttigieg’s late father, Joseph, immigrated from Malta; his mom, Anne, is an Indiana native. After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard College and becoming a Rhodes Scholar (yup), Buttigieg did a stint as a McKinsey & Company consultant before enrolling in the U.S. Navy Reserve and rising to lieutenant. He’d go on to take an unpaid nine-month leave during his first mayoral term to serve a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2014.
    He’s got some fun hobbies.

    Buttigieg is a proficient musician, playing guitar and piano and, in 2013, performing with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra as a guest piano soloist. Buttigieg is also conversational in Spanish, Italian, Maltese, Arabic, Dari, and French and taught himself how to speak Norwegian because he was tired of reading a favorite Norwegian author in translation.

    I wont mention his "other" hobby which everyone knows about. We should not throw out the good in looking for the perfect. Its certainly not as shamefull as the one sitting in the Whitehouse.

    Can America accept an openly gay president? I don't know. Many cannot, I imagine.

    UMP, it's all about the UMP. You know, umpire. T R, The Redsox. T R UMP.

    Might help some of the liberals around here to spell his name proper.
