It's so nice to have a press secretary who isn't painted up like a porn star

9. I watched her first presser the night of the inauguration

I was struck by the contrast with recent years. She is so down-to-earth and inspires confidence in whatever she’s telling us. The truth does not need to be primped and gussied-up like a painted strumpet.

This place is like 1965 sometimes.

[Croney]

13. Yep.

[Midnightwalk]

12. I don't care about her makeup or dress

So long as it’s professional.

Honest. Knowledgeable. Smart. Able to push back effectively without being nasty.

That’s what I like.

[stopdiggin]

16. yep. it's about "content"

not real big on the shaming -- unless it's for lack of character -- not costuming.

15. Very skilled and experienced....

Who is Jen Psaki?

Psaki has worked as a core member of multiple presidential and campaign press teams for nearly two decades. Within a few years of her graduation from the College of William & Mary in 2000, she joined John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign as deputy press secretary. After a short stint as a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, she returned to the world of presidential campaigns, joining the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign as traveling press secretary, a position she held again throughout their 2012 reelection campaign.

During Obama's first term, Psaki was named deputy press secretary, then promoted to deputy communications director. Following a brief break from politics in 2011, during which she worked as senior vice president and managing director at a Washington, D.C., PR firm, Psaki rejoined Obama's reelection campaign. During his second term, she served as the spokesperson for the State Department under Secretary John Kerry, before returning to the White House as communications director for the last two years of the Obama administration.

While Donald Trump was in office, Psaki became a political commentator on CNN and the vice president for communications and strategy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Upon Biden's election to the presidency, however, she left those posts to oversee the confirmations team for the Biden-Harris transition.

20. What do you know, a professional.

Thanks for posting this bio. I didn't know most of that. Just knew she was very professional about her job. Wow. I love professionals doing their jobs well.

[PatSeg]

17. You know

I'm not even listening to everything she says, I'm so enjoying the sound of her reasonable voice in the background as I go about my very normal day!

[honest.abe]

18. Indeed. She is a professional.

19. Competence and intelligence does not need to be glossed up, it speaks for itself

Trump and his crew were empty suits so they had to compensate for it by glossing and manipulating things, something that Democrats including Biden and the administration don’t have to do because we are the party of highly qualified, intelligent, and extremely competent people.
