Gov. Bobby Jindal's response

[righteousdude2]

Jindal was simply......

WIMPY....WIMPY.....WIMPY!

 

[Scarlett O.]

I believe that he is referring to Obama's defense of Jeremiah Wright when he said, "I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother."

Obama then went on to say that his grandmother "once confessed her fear of black men who passed her on the street."

Obama "threw her under the bus" by denegrating her in order to excuse Wright.

Thank you.....you beat me to it.

I was disappointed....as a republican and as a Louisianian.

It was like listening to Speech 101.

However, I have heard him speak in public more than once and he is so much better than than. So much more inspiring and commanding.

He's the best governor we've had since Huey Long and he's not the crook that Long was. Everything he said last night was genuine and he puts his feet to everything he says.

Please don't make a judgment about him based on his less-than-strong response last night.

One word.

Tepid.

He miossed a golden opportunity. Obama's speech was full of partisan rhetotic, catch phrases and lies.

He should have taken him on.

The contrast between the President and Governor Jindal is striking. Jindal did himself no favors. If this is the rising star of the GOP, it may be a quick flame out.

Show me a link on that ... or is this just more lies and rumors by Obama haters.

Have a blessed day.

I heard him say his grand mother was a racist. In his first speech defending Jeremiah Wright, the one that made something crawl up Cris Matthew's leg. He eventually threw his racist pastor of 20 years under the bus when he became a political liability.

If you want to do a search on all O'bama's campaign speeches then do so. Furthermore, I don't know O'bama personally so I don't hate him. I do hate everything he stands for and what he is doing to the country I love. If that doesn't satisfy you that is tough!

I agree, I was very impressed with Jindal during the last hurricane. He sowed very good leadership. I disagree with his politics because he believes tax cuts alone are the cure for this economy. However, I believe he is learning there are two sides to every story.

And I take it you think Jindal had no partisan rhetoric in his response? I don't think I have heard anyone more partisan than this part of his response...

That is why Republicans put forward plans to create jobs by lowering income tax rates for working families, cutting taxes for small businesses, strengthening incentives for businesses to invest in new equipment and hire new workers, and stabilizing home values by creating a new tax credit for home-buyers. These plans would cost less and create more jobs.

But Democratic leaders in Congress -- they rejected this approach. Instead of trusting us to make wise decisions with our own money, they passed the largest government spending bill in history, with a price tag of more than $1 trillion with interest. While some of the projects in the bill make sense, their legislation is larded with wasteful spending. It includes $300 million to buy new cars for the government, $8 billion for high-speed rail projects, such as a "magnetic levitation" line from Las Vegas to Disneyland, and $140 million for something called "volcano monitoring." Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring is the eruption of spending in Washington, D.C.

1. He makes like the only one interested in job creation was the republicans

2. He waived the Republican trade mark flag of tax cut, tax cut, tax cut...

3. Somehow the GOP confused their ideology with empowering the people. We are empowered by freedom not tax cuts.

Of course, he did. The GOP has become a Johnny-One-Note party. Their answer to any problem is - cut taxes - even while they set world records for government borrowing and spending when they were in power during this decade.

Both parties need thrown under the bus.

I have to admit, it was the first time I saw Governor Jindal speak. I thought he did rather well. His speech delievered more "hope" than hype.

Somebody also made a comment about the Republicans trying to match the Democrats. I have noticed this to a degree, but what the focus needs to be on is where they stand on the issues.

Speaking of Bobby Jindal, if I am not mistaken, he is of Indian descent (from India).

 

[KenH]

Piyush Jindal has a Hindu background and was apparently conceived in India and he is an anchor baby.

Also, since life begins at conception and he was not conceived on U.S. soil or by U.S. citizens, is he qualified to run for president of the United States?

What an ignorant statement.

No more ignorant than the junk that's been spewed forth by some conservatives about President Obama.

I notice those like the good rev don't mind when it is Obama, but apply the same standards to on of their own and LOOK OUT!

I hope the GOP does run Piyush Jindal in 2012, it will be another rout for the Democratic Party!

Constitutional stupidity. To be president, one must be a natural born citizen. IOW if a pregnant Mexican girl is about to give birth, she better swim or wade fast. That's actually what it depends on.

Hey!! We agree on something! Is it 2012 already?

 

[righteousdude2]

I Agree>>>>>>>

Both parties need thrown under the bus.

AMEN!!!!! Right On!​

According to Wikipedia, he was born in Baton Rouge, LA. If he had been born in India & wasn't a nutralized citizen, then he wouldn't be eligible to run for president. The main difference between Hindus & Muslims is that you don't ever hear of Hindu extremists strapping a bomb to themselves blowing things & people up.

What is behind Hindu-Christian violence
By Dan Isaacs
BBC News, Orissa

Hundreds of families in a remote region of the eastern Indian state of Orissa remain homeless and without support after a wave of violence swept the region last month.

The minority Christian community in Kandhamal district, many of whom are forest tribal people and low-caste Dalit converts from Hinduism to to Christianity, say they've been targeted by radical Hindu nationalist organisations seeking to put an end to the church and its activities in the region.

I wonder if this is what Christians in the United States could expect if Piyush Jindal ever becomes president.
