I remember when Kal left House M.D. to work for the Obama Admin. At the time I didn’t get it. My dad told me it was a dumb decision because he wouldn’t have a job in 4 years. 15 years later, I get it. And couldn’t admire Kal Penn more. Excited for the rest of the week! 🎉

[@aznthy]

You're dad is a fool, networking with a government admin is a bigger catch than keeping a job because everyone will give you a job because of past experiences and professional network.

[@velocirshtr3756]

It’s all about building connections. The swamp rats in DC would gladly scratch your back if you scratch theirs. In this case, the oval tour with PREZZY JOEY

[@cericson3426]

Why do you admire him he hasn't come accomplished squat even when he was in the Obama administration you didn't do anything

Also his time serving the Obama administration helped him land a great role on "designated survivor" where he also served as an "expert" on all things white house related lol

[@Juice8767]

I really just voted for him because he wasn’t Trump but I’m really pleased with a lot of the steps taken over the last couple years and this video just up’d the ante Seems like a great guy

I loved hearing the reason and significance behind the pieces chosen for his office. They truly have a meaning personal to him. That’s what an office/ home should be made of. When he first came into office, I just heard some complaining about the chosen decor 🙄. I knew they were ridiculous and just wanted to complain about anything.

[@UnderstandingDarkness]

It makes me imagine him “talking” to each “bust” or painting for advice making difficult decisions. Like a meeting of the ancestral minds 🤓
