Jindal Response


EB:

I've stated for a long, long time that Reagan was one of the worse presidents that this country has ever had. For all of the reasons you stated and more. This country had deficits and interest rates out the ying-yang when Reagan left office. The problem is that Reagan made people "feel good" about themselves, stating that were the best in everything even while sending them to the poor house. The country bought it and continued to "have confidence" in him and his policies; thus, the economic engine kept humming but running itself into the ground. Folks don't remember the wreck, but just the ride (kinda like not remembering being drunk or the affects of the hangover, but having fun drinking and getting drunk).

It still amazes me that so many folks still invoke him as being so great.

Regards.

I wouldn't be so quick as to say his career is over. History teaches us that people can and do bounce back. Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton was introduced to the nation at the democratic convention in 1988. He gave a dull speech and many politicos didn't think a country boy like him could win the White House.

I would say the same thing. Richard Nixon lost in '60 for the White House and lost for governor of California in '62. He won the presidency in '68 and '72.

Of course there is a not so little thing called Watergate.
 



40 years ago, no one thought a man that looks us would be President. Some things are changing so don't be suprised if Bobby stays in the public eye on the national scene.

Actually, Bobby Kennedy predicted it.

But I understand what you mean. Jindal is not done. If he aspires to be president, he'll just keep on running and being out there until its his turn. Read my previous post. Republicans recycle their candidates. If anything, Jindal is too young; Republican candidates for president are usually more grayer around the gills.

Regards.

Jindal's speech criticized

Governor Bobby Jindal: "Americans Can Do Anything"

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - The reviews are coming in and, for the most part, Governor Bobby Jindal is getting really poor marks for his performance during his speech to the nation Tuesday night.
Jindal provided the Republican response to President Barack Obama's address to Congress

Politics
A Defining Moment For Jindal — And GOP's Future?
by John Burnett

Morning Edition, February 24, 2009 · President Obama will take center stage Tuesday evening when he delivers his first address before a joint session of Congress. After the speech and the cheers and the handshakes on the way out the door, Republicans will get their turn. The man chosen to give their response: Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.

.....
 
Obama has captured those on the left and in the political middle. The only thing left for Jindal, Palin and other GOP hopefuls is to move farther to the right. The repubs will continue to be the party of the old south and pander to the right wing (Jindal).

The contrast between the two parties was on display last night with Obama and Jindal. Activist government versus "government is the problem" were shown last night.
 
i read those comments... dang their harsh!

I guess he was that bad. I didnt watch his so called rebuttal. Jindal is spinless and didnt even stand up to state legislators until a petition to get him out of office was started.

Jindal has killed his career. He better take the money being offered and pray he gets elected again. He will never make it in the Repub party. Once again their token has failed. :lol:

All he did was help make the Louisiana Democratic candidate for Governor campaign easier. Talking to a few of the people who voted for him, they are not very happy campers now.

Man get out of here justifying this cat. :lol: It ain't gone happen. Believe that. It want be Jindal. Now it might be another person, but it want be Jindal. Obama was smart enough to play the game. Jindal isn't that smart. Man if you think these good loe boys had strokes when Obama won, they will raise General Lee from the dead. :lol:

The Rude Pundit

Bobby Jindal Wants the Nation to Be Like Louisiana:
Last night, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal looked for all the world like the winner of the "Most Likely To Be Quickly Raped in Prison" award. That poor bastard would be some neo-Nazi's punk within an hour, and he'd be glad for the protection that accompanies all the sodomizing. What we witnessed was the end of Jindal's presidential ambitions and thus the end of the future of the Republican party. For while Barack Obama was busy at the Capital dancing on Ronald Reagan's grave, Jindal was desperately trying to hand job the Gipper's corpse to life. But those bones are dead, man, so very dead.

Seriously, if you're the governor of a state that has an income tax, a lottery, and a tax on food and clothes and your state is still at or near the bottom on nearly every way in which states are measured (except in those things where being at or near the top sucks balls, like "Most Polluted"), in child health care, overall health of its citizens, education, pollution, and more, you probably ought to realize that you've ****ed up and need the federal government. Desperately.

Not only was Jindal seemingly talking about some fantasy speech that the GOP expected Obama to give - at times, Jindal criticized things that Obama had directly addressed, like openness in government, personal responsibility in education, etc.- but he was giving a response that could have been lifted from Peggy Noonan's crate of unused words (it's right next to her shrine to Reagan's diapers). Speaking about government needing to get out of the way of "the American people," Jindal was at his most out-of-touch. You just wanted to stare at his dead, doll-like eyes and say, "Um, who the **** is gonna get us out of this if it ain't the government? And didn't we kinda try your way for the last 30 years? And didn't it end up ****ing us over completely and totally like we were sad old gay man thinking that the hot young dude that just ****ed us meant it when he said he just needed to borrow some money for a little while?"

Jindal's analysis of the meaning of Hurricane Katrina seems to be at odds with the fact that Republicans were running the country - the Presidency and the Congress - at the time. Crassly using that tragedy like Bush used 9/11, Jindal squeaked, "We're grateful for the support we've received from across the nation for our ongoing recovery efforts. This spirit got Louisiana through the hurricanes, and this spirit will get our nation through the storms we face today." Where the **** does Jindal think all that money came from? And, sorry, wasn't it the lack of the federal government's agencies being funded properly that didn't allow them to their jobs, thus leading to the catastrophe? It's almost mind-boggling.

The American Prospect

« THE OTHER GOP RESPONSE. | Main | THE DOUBLE MISSION. »
BOBBY JINDAL PLAYED HIMSELF.

The press has, for some time, been running with the idea that Bobby Jindal is the GOP's Obama. It's unclear what prompts the comparison between the two other than that they are both young, brown, Ivy League-educated, and beloved by their respective bases. But it's a comparison that the monochromatic Republican Party, anxious to show its inclusiveness, has been happy to accept. That makes it no less inane, and no less transparent an attempt to put a nonwhite face on an increasingly white party.

Jindal and Obama could not be more different, and the contrasts begin but don't end with the fact that one of them changed his name to fit in while the other carried his daddy's "funny" African moniker all the way to the White House. Last night, the differences were clear: Where Jindal was awkward, Obama was confident. Obama has mastered his voice, Jindal sounded like he didn't know how to give a speech. Obama had mastered a variety of tones and cadences early in his career, Jindal offered a forced folksiness to a sing-song tune. But perhaps the most telling part of Jindal's response was his extended introduction of his family history. Until now, the GOP has allowed the press to make the Obama comparisons, last night, Jindal tried to make one himself, an act that was inadvertently self-diminishing.

The worst part of Jindal's response wasn't just that, as Ezra says, it could have been given by any Republican at any time in the last 20 years. It was that the Republicans completely failed to predict the tone and content of Obama's speech. It didn't sound like a response at all: Jindal argued his points like he hadn't heard a word Obama said. Jindal touted the Republican tax cut "stimulus" moments after the nation heard Obama say he had given 95 percent of Americans a tax cut. He said "Now is no time to dismantle the defenses that have protected this country for hundreds of years, or make deep cuts in funding for our troops," right after Obama said he was expanding the armed forces and giving them a raise. Trying to box Obama in as a pessimist, Jindal said, "Don't let anyone tell you that America's best days are behind her," which might have worked if Obama hadn't just given an entire speech saying just that.

This has to be one of the most truthful post's I've read in a long time. Ronald Reagan straight killed this country. Contractors were charging the government $500 bucks a pop for freaking hammers when he was prez. His War on Drugs policies have been a freaking disaster and has destroyed segments of the black community. He single handily put this country in massive debt and Clinton almost pulled us out of it. Those mofos were trying to name everything in DC after Reagan. Now they're trying to setup something to celebrate his 100th birthday. Clinton left office with the highest approval rating in history and he can't get a damn stop sign name after him. It's time for the dems to start telling the truth about Reagan.

Tear Down This Myth: How the Reagan Legacy Has Distorted Our Politics and Haunts Our Future
by Will Bunch
 



From the Advocate

Gov. Bobby Jindal usually is described as brilliant, articulate and a rising star in the Republican Party.

His nationally televised speech Tuesday night drew some new adjectives — few of which were flattering.

A sampling from national and international columnists, bloggers and news reviews: “teeth-grindingly awful,” “simplistic and almost childish,” “condescending” and “all the saccharine sincerity of a Disney tour guide.”

State GOP leaders and conservative groups rallied around him. They were in the minority. For instance, David Brody with the Christian Broadcasting Network said, “Jindal is ridiculously bright, very convincing and folksy.”

But in the 10-minute speech that was supposed to propel him further down the path as an emerging national leader, Jindal managed to irritate a lot more Democrats, Republicans and even scientists.

The governor’s remarks resulted in the creation of a Facebook group comparing him to the exceedingly annoying “30 Rock” character Kenneth Parcell.

Jindal was on his way to Walt Disney World, taking a vacation with his family after delivering the Republican response to President Barack Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress. The governor is seen as a possible future presidential candidate.

Most appropriate that he go there given that Micky Mouse response he gave.

I don't understand why Gov.Jindal made reference to the late Sheriff Harry Lee of Jefferson Parish. This is the same racist Sheriff that during my high school days had the nerve to get on the local news broadcast and blatantly say that if he catches any black person riding through Metairie when the street lights came on they would be arrested.
 
He was trying to show how they (Lee and Jindal) worked together, despite party affiliation, to cut throught all the red take during Katrina. He did a piss poor job of doing so.
