The Political Mind of Jerry Brown

Lots of listening at the link below re: Governor Edmund G. (Jerry) Brown, Jr. (10 episodes):



https://www.kqed.org/podcasts/jerrybrown

I selected the above picture to post of Gov. Brown as this is how I remember him best, the first time I ever saw him. He was running for president and of course I voted for him!

My Dad (a die-hard Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, Sr. devotee). would have liked this picture a lot more:



We need another Jerry Brown right now.

da** straight - if Jerry was only '70' But like Michelle Obama, he's way too smart to get directly involved in another campaign for an actual office. I sincerely hope (again like MO) that he'll be able to turn out voters and influencers behind the scenes when the time comes, though - #jerrybrowngotitdone.

He is what, 82 years old now (I think?).

I wish there was a way we could clone him! I really do!

I love the guy, I must admit!

I remember when he ran for president, he was giving a speech at the plaza at City Hall in San Francisco during my lunch hour. There he was screaming at the top of his lungs and he wore that pin-striped suit so very well! I was AWESTRUCK to say the least!

I went back to work that day and I told my boss I had seen him speak at the plaza and I remember what he said, "Jerry Brown is light years ahead of his time!".

And so he is!
