"Pete has never seen a microphone or a TV camera that he likes."- President Obama describing his new Chief of Staff.
Peter Mikami Rouse doesnt like the spot-light. The fame is for the narcissist electable dummies the politicians, not for Pete. The elections are just razzle-dazzle. The elected newbie will go to the Capitol to be greeted by the real people of power: the Petes of the Congress, the unelected bureaucrats that know the ways of the force that turn the public servants into Washington insiders.
Here is how Mr. Rouse met Mr. Obama:
" When Daschle lost, Obama called me up and asked if Id meet with him and talk about what he should do. One thing led to another and he asked if I would be interested in being his chief of staff. I said probably not... I remember when he eventually convinced me to do it, he said three things:You cant make that up! Barack Obama didnt care to manage a $3 million budget, but today is in charge of the trillions of dollars of the US economy. So Senator Obama was an empty suit speeches and policy salesman. It is not surprising. Most politicians, including the President of the USA, are just electable dummies.One, he said I know what Im good at and I know what Im not good at. I can give a good speech, Im good on policy, I know retail politics, but I dont know anything about building an organization, the budget for a senator is $3 million, that kind of thing..."
- Pete Rouse, February 21st, 2009, Anchorage Daily News

MIKAMI???? What kind of name is MIKAMI??
Japanese.
But he doesn't have an axe to grind.
The real question is whether he would be inducted into the baseball hall of fame if he were to come clean about his betting.
Japanese - his grandmother was Japanese - sent to internment camps by FDR
I KNEW Pete Rose....Pete Rose was a FRIEND of mine, and sir....you are NO PETE ROSE!! Pete Rose did NOT bet AGAINST HIMSELF!! He would NEVER BET AGAINST HIMSELF!!
Japanese grandparents.
The MSM tries to portray him as “Alaskan” but he actually was raised in Connecticut and went to Harvard.
And that IDIOT is A DEMOCRAT???? AFTER FDR SENT HIS GRANDPARENTS TO AN INTERMENT CAMP???? Just PROVES that:
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!
He also worked for progressive republicans sometimes.
That is STILL LIBERALISM.....what progressive Republicans did he work for?? Liberalism is still liberalism no matter what party!!
Is this Freudian or what
MIKAMI = McCommie
A pseudonym for a triad of Neo-Marxism, Black Separatism and Islamofascism.
He also got his MA in the London School of Economics - like Soros.
He worked for Terry Miller in Alaska
the white house under billy clinton was an internment camp.
In other words, a fully qualified Baraqqi
“...Like a gift...” of the three below
Are these close enough for the Political Class: Neo-Marxism, Black Separatism and Islamofascism.
Got nuttin’ agaist Japanese-Americans. 442d Regimental Combat Team proved their patriotism and fighting spirit in WWII, we know that.
I grew up as a US Army dependent in Japan 1956-58. Played baseball with Japanese kids, plus Issei-Nissei-Sansei kids who were 100% Americans and talked like it.
But ever since 1982 there’s been a growing attitude among J-A’s that they or their grandparents were wronged during WWII and that the rest of us now owe them.
Just sayin’
The fact this guy was Tom Dasch-hole’s former COS is all you really need to know...
