Jindal: ‘Americans Can Do Anything’

“To solve our current problems, Washington must lead.
****************************************
LOL, not the GOP! All smiles and upbeat untill they have to do something.

But don’t let anyone tell you that we cannot recover – or that America’s best days are behind her.”
========================================
Republicans tried hard to put America’s best days behind us. Their solution to the problems they created is to do nothing and let everyone fend for themselves….free markets…Jindal offers the same….nothing new…

The exorcisms will begin around 8.

Yes, Americans can do anything! Thank you Gov Jondal. American CAN do anything, and you are LEADING the way by being an obstructionist cynic. If the economy keeps getting worse, you can say “I told ya so”. But you know, that gives you an incentive to see that Obama crashes. I don’t trust you for a second. Go have another seance.

“The strength of America is not found in our government.”
But if it’s a government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE, then the government IS THE PEOPLE.
ANOTHER DISHONEST REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT.

“Americans can do anything.”
——
Except,thanks to Jindal, get full unemployment benefits in Louisiana Personally, I’m hoping for a Palin-Jindal Repub. ticket in 2012.

Watch this guy – he’s a true leader (as opposed to the Three Stooges – Obama, Pelosi and Reid).

Looks like everyone thinks they can run this country..this dude from Lousiana has a way to go..like back to where he comes from..it is better and I feel an obligation to support our current elected President rather than betray him like this guy does and so many like him..
The bible says, we should support our leaders..but I guess he is not a standard religious person..is he from America..I am talking about Jindal.
I cannot believe his position in Lousiana, I lived there many yrs ago..

What a joke Americans can do Anything. Read “Americans the Stupid”…they have been given a pacifer of beer, entertainment, a credit card and a promise of a trip to heaven while the leaders in government, business, religion, the media follow the philosophy of Omar the tent maker “Take the Cash and Let the Credit Go”…aint that what Americans, CEO, leaders have done. And until Americans the Stupid who sit on a jury start sending crooks to jail Americans can do noth’n.

Where is it written that after the President speaks on national television, the opposite party gets to respond? That in itself creates sepratism. It’s unnecessary campaigning that does nothing positive in supporting this country.
As for the exorcism crap, I could care less. We all have skeltons, some worse than others, just depends on your point of view. No one is perfect. Try your best and hope it’s good enough. If not, learn from your mistakes and work to get better.
And I agree with the sentiment that doing something, the Stimulus Bill, was the right thing to do. It’s not just doing something for the sake of doing something, it’s doing something that can bridge the gap between the current fiscal downturn and what will hopefully be the Private Sector’s rebound in the next couple of years. It can work as long as we have the oversight Obama says will exist. It’s about Accountability, and it’s about time someone in Washington understood that.
So Republicans, Democrats, Independents. Get behind Our President. And if you have a better plan, don’t spend your time creating fear for the people who don’t know. Spend it by telling us your solution. At least then we’ll know you’re thinking about our problems and how to solve them, vs. wasting our time by pointing a finger.

I wonder if the GOP will ever learn.Same old tactics.Did Obama not ask these people for suggestions?what did we get instead,nothing.
What did they do for 8yrs,nothing.
what can they offer again,nothing
What are they offering now,nothing
Can they ever offer anything constructive,no,never.
Instead of their latest rantings,grumblings,devisive tendencies, intolerance,lack of foresight,greed and self-centredness,they should give Obama a chance to help clear the mess they made for 8yrs.
They should be reminded that the GOP’s collective mess put us in these mess that is messing us all up.
They are all shameless and wicked.

Jindal doing his best to imitate Reagan. Ain’t gonna work this time. Too many people have been stung.

In recent years, these distinctions in philosophy became less clear – because our party got away from its principles
***************************************
There they go again ” our Party got away from it’s principles” Sounds like obstruction time to me no matter how he frames. it.
The GOP is a joke period. All talk and stick it to the common person.

Thinking – Dems are a joke as well. In fact, most of the politicians in congress are jokes. None of these people work for us, the people, they only work for themselves and for their special interests and union bosses.
A good example of Dem “jokery” is the repeal of the Welfare Reform Act in this current stimulus bill, that worked wonders when it was passed when Clinton was president (Clinton an even take the credit for it if he likes) it all by stopped the rise of illegitimate births and many areas of the country we saw a decline, and now Dems want to people to go back on welfare.
Another good example is just about everything Dems have touched in recent memory. No matter how much money they throw at education, our public schools are getter worse, with unions getting stronger and the possible of firing bad teachers getting slimmer.
Or how about their so called fight against “poverty”? Last time I checked, the agencies created by Dems to “battle” this problem has been a complete waist of time.
Or how about all politicians with their “war on drugs”? Wasn’t that just a complete success?!?!
Creating more inefficient government agencies and spending more money doesn’t always get the job done. That is Jindal’s point. Conservative ideals have always been about small government, free markets with the right regulations in place, fiscal responsibility (government and personal), freedom for everyone and basic hard work. Repubs have gone away from that, since they try to claim conservative status, but being a conservative doesn’t mean you are a repub.

And my grammatical skills suck as well today hahaha….Shouldn’t have drank that last cup of coffee!

“American’s can do anything”, JIndal??? What Americans are you referring to, exactly? Women American’s cannot choose freely, Gay Americans cannot marry, etc etc. etc. You are a lying sack of republican political crap. JIndal. Go run for president in another country!!

B. Bear—ask Sarah to pray for you to not lose your job.

Socialist government and policies (high taxes and redistribution of wealth by the government) are already a policy in this country. The rich and wealthy companies pay MOST of our taxes. So raise the tax rates higher and what will these successful companies and individuals do? LEAVE the country. You can’t compete when U.S. takes 35%, Maryland and Baltimore city takes over 20% (property, sales, income). You lose the incentive to work and the incentive is to become DEPENDENT on the government. Baltimore is a SOCIALIST city. 20% tax payers and 80% tax consumers. High crime, high taxes, miserable schools (though the highest per capita student school funding), etc. Handouts sure sound nice but the strings of government dependence are deadly. Socialism does not work.

Lets all get together and sing Bobby Jindal the magic hindu.

If the GOP wants any chance at a future, they better listen to this guy and get rid of the “birth certificate”, “Obama is a Muslim” crowd.

RB, you apparently haven’t lived in East or West Baltimore where Obama’s policies have been in effect for over 25 years. ZERO Republicans since the 1970′s. Miles and miles of gov’t dependent slums. Massive amounts of drug money flowing into the city (all untaxed) and illegal guns everywhere. I am an African American and had to move my business out of the city due to the onerous tax burden. I employ 26 people and provide their medical, dental, and insurance benefits. I will likely have to move out of Maryland and out of the U.S. to compete with foreign companies. Socialism does not work. I am one of few blacks who voted against Obama. In my opinion he was elected on black pride and white guilt. Nothing else.

and the racism on this post is appaling. i share not one political view with Jindal. can’t we all remember the republicans spewing forth this racist, bigotted hatred during the campaign (and even now). racism is disgusting and it reads like filth.

Oh and another thing. 53% to 47%. What about those 47% who did not vote for Obama? Do you think there are foreign countries who would like to see us fail, who do not have our best interest at heart? Who fund the news media to write anti-Bush articles (or now anti-Obama articles) and promote SOCIALISM here? If this country was so terrible why then was everyone still trying to move here from all over the world? Yeah, Bush sure messed this country up. And how about those Muslims who attacked us when Jimmy Carter was president (Iran hostages), when Bill Clinton was president (U.S.S. Cole, Kenyan Embassy, etc). Clinton fired a few missiles into Iraq. Obama fired some the other day into Pakistan and killed many innocent civilians. If Bush were president the headline would’ve read “Bush lied, innocent’s died” but you didn’t read anything about that did you? Beware of the power of the media over your thoughts.

Sure let’s just have the gov’t all take care of us like little babies. Let’s take from everyone who works hard and has a successful business. Oh, darn, they all MOVED SOMEWHERE else. Wake up people. Check out East Germany vs. West Germany, Hong Kong vs. Shanghai or our cities like Baltimore and Detroit that have been forcing everyone into government dependence. You are truly fools and have fallen for Obama like the German people fell for Hitler. You know how Hitler got elected? On a platform of “CHANGE”. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up you cult followers of the great one.

Yep that’s a stray thought all right. Like my old neighbor used to say “you’ve got a lot of good ideas and that wasn’t one of them”. I had to move my business from Baltimore because it’s socialist policies don’t work (except for those who deal in black markets like illegal drugs and guns). As a law-abiding tax paying citizen I couldn’t compete with the onerous taxes.

Mark—i think you expressed why i was trying, difficultly, to articulate. racism has gotten out of hand. Obama was called “traitor”, “terrorist” people yelled out “kill him” (that’s some hate!). i remember Palin campaigning in a rally in Florida with Gov. Crist nodding his head to these racial epithets. i would have been nice to see republicans do more to tone that down, not eve Jindal did anything.
i think the racism towards Jindal in this post is every bit as hateful and twisted.

They don’t want the money, I’ll take it.
I got my check approved already.
http://www.helpfromobama.com

Great strategy you got there republicans.
Hillary runs for Prez……….you guys put Palin on the ticket.
Obama wins Prez……….you guys make Steele head of the GOP.
Now you’re picking Jindal to deliver the response tonight.
What’s next……a gay, albino, midget as top republican strategist?
IT WON’T WORK BOZOS !!!!!!!!!

At least Jinal if full minority. Obama is half white. Dems couldn’t even find a real BLACK man to run for president, cus you get thugs like Jackson and cheats like Sharpton. Black people today are the cause of their own problems, like high crime, drugs, and single motherhood. Minorities, especially Asians, just work hard, get a good education and then go on to do great things. I’m glad Jindal is a conservative, screw the “republican” label next to his name. Conservative values are almost the same with Asian values. It is no secret that Blacks don’t like Asians. They complained when we opened businesses in their “ghetto” neighborhoods. No wonder the first things Blacks destroyed during riots were Asian owned businesses.
Jindal and people like him are the real minority leaders this country needs.

This guy has a much more inspirational message than we’ve heard out of Washington lately.

Both parties had Unconstitutional bailouts.
Both are bad examples for Americans

Paul Wall – I see how you love to repeat the lies spread by the elitist media regarding “racism”. The supposed yell of “kill him” during a Palin rally was made up by one reporter for a local newspaper. The secret service investigated and could not find anyone else in the crowd, even people standing right next to the reporter, who heard it. No one called Obama a “terrorist”, the correct term is “paling around with terrorists” and that’s what Obama did. It is fact. William Ayers was and is a domestic terrorist. Not everything is about race or racism Paul! Get your facts straight! In fact, McCain himself told off his own supporters who called Obama names during several rallies. I’ve never heard Obama or his supporters offer that kind of response when people called McCain or Palin names.

Obama giving 900 milliion to rebuild an rea controlled by a terrist group

govtdependentsRus………. What is with you repubs and this “The U.S. has the morale high ground” crap?
You need to talk to some of my sisters students that have family in Iraq and Iran. They say the Iraqis DO NOT WANT US THERE. You repubs can come with that “we can save the world” mentality all you want to. It is dumb and WRONG. You have no problem spending trillions on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, but scream to high heaven if Obama wants to spend money on OUR OWN COUNTRY.
THIS AIN’T NO JOHN WAYNE MOVIE !!!!!

govtdependentsRus—no need to get nasty, dude. i said that the US became the world power after the ’30s. i don’t smoke weed. is it rational to say we have been the “greatest nation on earth for over 200 years”? slavery? Jim Crow laws until the 1960, defacto racism to the present day?
we were at out best in WWI and WWII. we fought for right over wrong. now we support didctatorial regimes that would make Hitler blush (i.e. the US support of the Khmer Rouge until the end of the Cold War, our support of the Shah of Iran who had a democratically-elected, moderate leader assassinated, the US’s direct CIA involvement in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba) for our own narrow political interests.
it sickens me that you would think i would advocate the enslavement of anyone, anywhere.
while we are posting back and forth what is being done in Sudan. the Darfur genocide has been going on for years. “never again” means absolutely nothing. President Bush declared the Darfur conflict a genocide and there are legal obligations by nations, including ours, to collectively end genocide. yet as with Rwanda we shake our heads, look at the floor and do nothing.

He made it all up. Lying piece of republican crap!

I’m hoping for a Palin-Jindal Repub. ticket in 2012.
————————–
Yike! How about Jindal-Anyone but Palin?

Boy, you people are rough…lol.
My toilet brush gets more respect than the republican party.

AZNmonk—i never said Palin said these things about Obama. only that these things were audibly yelled, from the crowd, on many occasions at a rallies of a vice-presidential candidate. at one of these rallies Gov Crist nodded approvingly at this racist diatribe. i was not the sole person to hear this. the news and video clips made it gruesomely apparent. at least McCain had the courage to stop it (at least while the cameras were rolling).

AZNmonk—” Black people today are the cause of their own problems, like high crime, drugs, and single motherhood.” a stronger case could not be made for the nauseating, bigoted racism than your post. talk about not knowing MY history.

and when Jindal is done he can perform an exorcism! The guy is NOT sane!

Hey LIBS…..B*L*O*W M*E

Republicans are OK with running up huge deficits to wage wars that lead to death and destruction but unwilling to spend money to help Americans who are down and out because of the policies of their greedy Republican banker friends. What kind of values are those?

HEY……..QUIET !!!!!!!!!
THE PRESIDENT IS ON !!!!!!!!!!!!

Jindal is one of the Republican Party’s token Uncle Toms. He’s way too brown for Republicans to even seriously consider him for leadership. Like Steele and Condi Rice, he is merely window dressing.

Why does everything have to be about race with you libs? Can’t you just see the person without commenting on their color?

My stove can run the country better than the republicans did.

Today’s Republicans are either shameless or stupid.
At least back in the day no one would say they were a Republican.
After the last 8 years you would think if they had any shame they would ST-FU.
I guess that just makes them stupid.
Maybe there both.

A Patriot, very interesting. I’ll just take your article and flip the Democrat and Republican stuff in there. Did you ever think that foreign countries actually pay some in the news media and bloggers to encourage a divide here? Your divisive attitude is par for the course and these other countries would LOVE to see the U.S. fail. You are a Patriot for the Democrat party I suppose but NOT a Patriot for the U.S……………………….your article (altered and back at you) Here we go again. Democrats with very small and short memories…We tried the Barney Frank housing loans to everyone and now the housing market has collapsed. Looks like that caused a catastrophe. When Bush cut taxes on the wealthiest, we had a surplus and great economy.
And where were these make believe fiscal Democrats during the past 50 years, when YOUR Democratic administrations got us into WWII, Korea, Vietnam, shot missiles into Bagdad (Clinton), killed innocent civilians (Obama this past Tues in Pakistan), spent irresponsibly on entitlement programs that are failed burdens (Social Security, Welfare, etc, etc) and got us into a severe deficit? Oh yea, the make believe war against a country that Bill Clinton fired missiles into the capital of and another that didn’t threaten us (Bosnia). (How many Billions and how many died in those Democrat-led fiascos?) How many people die every day in Detroit and Baltimore? Democrat-run regimes in those disaster-villes.
Your party has been in charge of the Senate and House for the past several years, made the financial meltdown starting with the housing crises, and now the the Repulbicans are doing what has to be done to fix it. Pelosi and Reid (and Barney Frank’s friends at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) sunk the boat (the USA) and its going to cost money to refloat it. Of course Democrats think the boat will just refloat if we just give the government trillions to spend wisely. If I see a man in need of $100 I would gladly give it to him. If I give that $100 to Nancy Pelosi and the U.S. Federal Government (did you ever check out just how LARGE it is already) how much would actually get to the man in need?
Give me a break.!!!!!!!!

My people, my people.. Jindal, Bollywood is waiting, otherwise you can come to New Jersey and be a computer engineer. With Jindal our H1B visas will quadruple. Jindal, Jindal my people my people.

Jindahl is Senator Wannabe President. It is sad when you have to take the low road just to get your name out there to start running for the republican nomination. The name of the game is pander to the right wing, take an opposing view so you can make it into the media and bury the people you serve along the way.

This is a painful presentation (Jindahl’s). It’s like he’s reading a children’s book that makes no sense. Why are these words coming out of his mouth?

JINDAL, TAKE CARE OF LOUISIANA FIRST BEFORE EVEN TRYING TO CON MORE AMERICANS !!

The only problem, Jindal, is that Americans are SCUM! Selfish, selfish, scummy viruses who don’t care about anything else but d@mmed money!

Governor Jindal…have you made sure that the people of Louisiana are out of the FEMA trailers they have been living in for years now. How have you helped your people exactly in your state move forward after Katrina?? Stop putting down the policies of a man you only wish you could be. DO SOMETHING!! Your party had 8 long years. Once again I say HELP THE PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE before you attack the new administration!

I’m sitting here listening to Jendal speak for the first time on Fox. It sounds like he’s reading some story book to me. Like I’m a young child and can’t get it. Is this really the republican rising star?

Mrs. C…let’s not forget that the Democrats took over congress in 2006. Please get your facts straight…so it wasn’t “your party”…it was the Dems who failed the past two years, and have also been responsible for tanking the economy with them.
Get a life.

PiYush [[Bobby]] Jindal actually Believes he is the Next Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Rush Limbaugh has touted PiYush Jindal as the…
“Next Ronald Wilson Reagan”
Now PiYush Jindal appears to Believe him.
Bland & Boring [[PiYush Bobby Jindal]]
PiYush Jindal: A Few Weeks Ago said..
“I will take the Money, from this Stimulus Package, but if I were still in Congress, I would’ve Voted Against it”
So Contradicting & Hypocritical
Note: If YOU are Against the Money being Allocated to YOUR STATE, Don’t Accept It…Period.
Close Your Mouth, Take the Money and take it with a…
BIG SMILE !!!
But Never, Ever Double Talk.
You will still be Accepting the BULK of the MONEY, so what Principle have You Displayed, when you Speak of..
[[Conservative Republican Principles]]
Borderline -Bull Spit and Political Ambition Above the State and the People, Jindal is suppose to place..
FIRST
——————
PS: Mr. Jindal, Once the Government send YOU the MONEY…
YOU will be Responsible for the STATE’S ALLOCATED …BILLIONS.

Gov. Bobby uses Harry Lee as an example. Nice story too bad he did not tell the full story about Lee during Katrina. He seems to have forgotten the part about Harry Lee ordering his deputies to block off the bridge entering Jefferson Parish as the same people Jindal was talking about were trying to escape those flood waters in New Orleans. His close friend, Harry Lee did not care about those people dying in New Orleans all he knew was they could not come through his Parish !! Good job Bobby way to almost tell it like it is.

For Gods sake who put us in this mess it wasn’t the democrats.

LOL LOL LOL LOL I am going to laughing for hours. Jindal needs to look at himself in the mirror while he blows that hot air. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice NOT!

Bobby is Bland..
Boring…
And Stiff as a Base Board.
This is the Republican Answer to Obama…
Good Luck with that Nut

Where is the “I am Bobby Jindal and I approve this message?”

No use arguing with liberals. I need to go plan our taxes going forward — as in where to hide our money so Obama doesn’t take another 40% or more to give to losers who don’t work.
Enjoy your welfare checks while they last. I’ll be hiding hard earned money…

Did Jindahl even listen to the President’s speech?
Seems like the Republicans are more interested in selling their agenda than helping America.

Wow. Listening to Governor Jindal speach, he sounds like he is reading a story book to a 4 year old. If this is the Republicans Great HOPE, he falls short of the mark, go shop some more.

Hello, Please are you hearing this? People, this is a Republican defending his party.. Hello. Guess what? Where are we. Who is this person? Get rid of him. I lived in New Orleans for four years. No body leaves, even if there’s a hurricane because it’s a party!! Hurricane or not. Who ever this idiot is, he’s more of the same crap we have been delt for the last eight years. How much longer are we to be fed the bull that the Republicans are want us to eat. Go away… we don’t need you in our lives. You are self serving and corrupt, especially in Louisiana. Been there, done that. Go Obahama!!!!

Jindal shut up.

I don’t mind reading the comments that the Republicans make in disagreeing with Obama as long as those comments are based on the truth, but they aren’t. I can go on for days, not hours, about the twisted truths, inuendos, and outright lies the Republicans use to try and make thier message palatible and plausable, but it is not working because any intelligent person knows how to double check and find out if what they are being fed is the truth and guess what? 99% of the time we find out that we are being fed a pack of lies. Well, keep it up, Republicans and did your own hole deeper because we, the American people are not fooled.

2006 ????
I swear to you that we probably have been in an economic tsunami from 2000. At one point, the stock markets were below what they are now. Personally, I believe we’ve been in this for the entire Bushy administration. He’s just been printing more money and money.. cheapening the US dollar until it’s almost worthless. It is because of him that we have had THE LARGEST transfer of wealth FROM the USA in history. And why? GREED… he’s helped his buddies line their pockets with unreasonable profits by taking advantage of corporate tax cuts, sending jobs overseas for the cheaper employee, and de-regulating the comodities markets so anything speculators could reap out of it (just as they all had learned from Enron – the Cheney buddy company) was done above the law.
If you break the back of the middle class, you will destroy America. Face it. And the Bushy administration and his rebate checks that actually propped up the chinese economy and not our’s, has left the back of the middle class cracking.

Again I ask what in the world was Gov Jindal talking about like we have forgot GWB unreal the republicans really think we are stupid

trust them not going to happen

Some of you people need to go back to high school English class.

I have never been talked down to more that Gov Bobby Jindal’s speech since I was in 6th grade, 46 years ago. His rebuttal was nothing more than a positioning statement for GOP 4+ years out. What a joke. I’m an independent registered voter since 1976. It’s B.S. like this that made me vote for Obama.

Great. The Republicans send out Jindahl to remind us all of the Republican White House great response to Katrina. What are they thinking? Jindahl did not come across well. This was a giant flop.

For the last 8 years we heard that we were doing the right thing by killing innocent women and children in Iraq, justified because we were fighting a ‘war against terror’ We spent billions and billions of dollars. Not one time did I hear a Republican worrying about how the war was creating record deficits that our children would have to inherit. Now we have a stimulus package that yes, spends a huge amount of money, but guess what? if it works, we will get most of it back, and the Republicans are screaming about the record deficits it will create. Well, maybe you should have thought about that 8 years ago. Maybe when the Republicans kept deregulating everything in site, and did not do anything to even prosecute the existing laws that were being broken, maybe they should have been thinking about what they are screaming about now.

I don’t care about Jindal’s life. That was a stupid move to make. All I heard is the same old crap that Rep’s talked about for years. Nothing new here. And if One Rep talks about abortion, well they had their chance to do something about it. They had the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court and did nothing about it. Same old lies they keep telling over and over again.

It was FEMA and Blanco that failed Katrina victims. And honestly people ought to know how to get out of a situation without someone holding their hands. You can believe when hurricanes hit here, the winners are on the lookout for what needs to be done next. The losers on the other hand are still hitting the pipe. Bush was a idiot but he can’t be blamed for everything, he’s not the only demon at that party. Speak what you know.

I liked Jindal and so did my 23 year old daughter. We mused about the next presidential election, if there was a black man running against an indian guy. They both seem like decent people, regardless what is written by the idiots who have posted previously on this log. Such hatred is outright shameful to those people and will lead to no one wanting to run for public office. I am happy that we have such obviously qualified people still interested in public office despite the moronic and insulting postings on this log.

No insult to Mr Rogers but this bozo sounded like Mr Rogers.

So Jindal’s philosophy is that Government shouldn’t do anything to help Americans get out of the mess we find ourselves in after 8 years of GWB. With our spirit and determination, we can do it ourselves. And don’t touch those tax breaks for the wealthy! The Republican party is clueless.

blanco did the best that she could do with what she had avaiable, it was bush and fema that failed the people…..besides i am so sick of hearing about katrina victums they are leaving better in my city then i am….they are no longer victums….after all this time….

Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath is a perfect example of what happens when the central government doesn’t play a sufficient role in helping people. At least one famous Republican disagrees with Bobby Jindal’s view that government shouldn’t play much of a role in helping Americans. That famous Republican said that the role of government is to do for the people what needs to be done, to do what people cannot do by individual effort, including “providing for the helpless”, protecting citizens, building roads and bridges, etc. The person who said those things was Abraham Lincoln.

A typical Republican talk, no substance just so many compliments about how great we are and our country. The only trouble is no solutions are ever offered. Oh yes, but we the American people are so great and fantastic. It seems that the Republicans fall short on solving problems, which may account as to why we “the great ones” are in this trouble. After 8 years of patting ourselves on the back and tossing off regulations; we seem to be mired in our own muck. It would be nice if the Republicans could quit their mud-slinging at the President and roll up their sleeves and help solve the problems the Bush administration dumped upon us. But that might be too much for them. What Gov. Jindal? Glad to know I and the rest of Americans are so wonderful.

PiYush [Bobby] Jindal…
1. The Cheap Republican Answer to [[Barack Obama]]
2. The Louisiana Governor with one of the Highest Unemployment Rates. One of the Lowest Scoring States in the Nation, when it comes to Education or lack thereof ?
One of the highest Crime Rates in the Nation, based on population. One of the Highest Doling States in the Nation, yet Jindal wants to Deny Money being given to his State, for Unemployment Recipients.
3. Jindal is trying to Follow Our Commander In Chief, after he addresses the American People.
You Remember how McCain looked the Night of Obama’s Acceptence Speech, with that Green Screen behind him ..Hmmm
4. Jindal is not a Great, Charismatic Speaker…
Jindal is the Cheap Republican Knock Off of [[President Barack Obama]]
5. PiYush [[Bobby]] Jindal is looking like a Train Wreck, before the Train actually…. Wrecks !!!
Did you see PiYush [Bobby] Jindal on Meet The Press, this past Sunday….
In 2 Words [[Bland & Boring]]
No Charisma, No True Reason for his Opposition, just Oppose Obama’s Plan and the Money being sent to his State…
PiYush Jindal is a Pure 100 % Hypocrite, who wants the Money, he just wanted to Minus the Unemployment Money, in Obama’s Plan, which would Help his [[State's Unemployed]]
What a Pumpous A!!

What exactly is in the stimulus package? Do you even know? Or are you just taking the word of the new team? Same ole, same ole, you’ll be bitchin’ and moanin’ about this team in 4 years and still won’t know the first thing corrupted or accomplished. You’ll judge 4 years by the size of your tax return and what the news tells you to think. Will you go to the cheese line or the bread line? hmmmm decisions decisions.

a07…….you should be governor of louisiana……..

What the Hell was that reponse? THis is crazy that the republicans will play games at America’s expense by having a puppet speak such divison at a time when we need to unify. 8 years of republican tax cuts and spending on the war and overseas put us in this sitution. Now its time to work together. Republicans please stop the madness. Your policies did not work let President Obama lead us out of this mess you created.

I thought Bobby Jindal did one thing well-he is a Rhodes scholar who came across like Joe the Plumber. Did he really say we don’t need to spend money we don’t have on things we don’t need (like education). I’m pretty sure LA ranks 46 in education (followed by AL at 47). I can already see it: Jindal/Palin 2012–”We know you wanna drink a beer and go shoot wolves with us.”

you are right rs lindsey

i counld not have said it better myself o

Judging strictly his speaking style, I think Gov. Jindal watched one too many episodes of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood while growing up.

I think it’s a rather sad commentary on the state of our news organizations that Gov. Jindal had to have his say after our elected President. The Republican party is certainly making clear its divisive goal. I’m not sure what they accomplished tonight, but I didn’t hear any great ideas from Jindal other than just like in Katrina don’t expect help from the fed.

Self sufficient, personal responsibilty small government vs entitlement, victim mentality, large government. Most of us Dems are also self-sufficient, but believe that when the Bible tells us to look out for our brothers, to feed them if they are hungry, to cloth them if they are cold, that we should do so, and lets face it, an individual or even a group of individuals could never do near as well as the Government has done in creating Medicare. In fact, medicare is one of the most efficient programs in healthcare in the world today,so much so that entire countries are basing their universal healthcare on the medicare blueprint. an individual or group of individuals could never do near as well as the Government did when it created Social Security, so that our retirees would have a guaranteed income (that they paid for by the way) when it was time to let a younger person do their job. And, guess what, folks, it is going to take Government to get us out of the mess that we have gotten into. I can remember George Bush telling us that business were basically honest and it was perfectly fine to allow them to police themselves, that they would never do anything to knowingly hurt the country, their workers, or the people whom bought their product. Well, he forgot about a little thing called ‘Greed’. Without regulation, without haveing to be transparent and without the possibilty of being called out on what they were doing, business, and banks took advantage of the lack of good preventive regulation and used the system to virtually rob everyone that they could. They did it because they could. When people were working, and times were good, they took advantage of the lack of rules, and competed for potential homeowner’s business by creating the ‘no money down’ loans, banking on the premis that the house that they were financing would continue to rise in value so fast that the increase in equity in a short period of time would create a psuedo down payment cushion. Then, they sweatened the pot even more, by using a teaser, false interest rate, with after a few years somehow got raised to a point where the homeowner could not make make the substantially higher loan payments that the raise in interest created. Did they do this because they had too? Did they do this because at the first interest rate they wern’t making a profit? No….They did it because they could…… This, is what got us into the mess that we are in now. Everything snowballed from there.

Obama has more substance in his little finger than Jindal has in his whole body.

Natasha .. do some research and find out all responsible for this mess we are in.. Stop the brainwashed overused accusations of President Bush.. Sounds uneducated and pathetic.!. He made mistakes, but everything was not his fault. Find out where he falls in the list of responsibility for the current situation.
He tried to stop it’s path, but congress wouldn’t let him.. Not to mention that going after Acorn and Fannie Mae.. automatically labels him as a racist and oppressor of the poor.
Factcheck.org is pretty fair to both parties.

Compassion and helping out our fellow man should come from the heart..With the help of churches, organizations or individuals that choose to do so, because they feel its the right thing. NOT mandated , and controlled by the government with other peoples Money. Capitalism can go amok, and Greed can overtake, but watch out how you try to correct that.. Deregulation was not the problem..It was a bill signed by President Clinton that basically encouraged these financial institutions
to lend without constraint and to top it off stating the Federal Government would back them up.. That is just stupidity not what is true deregulation..If I’m a bank …I say really.. and you’re financially backing me up…wow.!… so I would lend away …… He gave these institutions the right to go amok… (Regulation should stay to a minimum!). Really Banks don’t risk loans if they know that the borrower can’t pay..they are there to make money… they only risk if they are told they have financial backing ..Not all institutions where so free with their lending.. that’s why some homeowners had balloon payments and others had high interest rate.. Why… not because they where minorities.. They just didn’t qualify for the loan, so it was forced…!
There are plenty of Articles written by different newspapers to give you a better picture.

It’s funny how Governor Jindal used the Katrina catastrophe as an example as to why the government should not step into the economic crisis. If there was no federal hep, NEW ORLEANS WOULD STILL BE UNDER WATER.

MORE REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY
$173-BILLION to Louisiana from the federal government since Hurricane Katrina, and now Governor “Boobi” Jindal is talking about government spending??? WHAT A HYPOCRITE!!!

Boy, Sara, you have your Republican talking points right down, but unfortunately, your facts are a little fuzzy, yes, Clinton did sign a bill that contributed to this mess, but that bill was written by a Republican and was part of a package that had many more good parts in it than that one bad part, but that one bill did not start this. Deregulation began with Reagan and with Alan Greenspan, the hero of degregulation, who now says that he was wrong, why, because he did not factor in greed. He himself said that he believed that business and banks would do the right things because they were basically run by good people. He forgot that power and money are a great force or incentive to corruption and when they were given a license to steal from the American people because they could, that is what they did. I’m not saying that the Republicans are the only ones to blame….there is enough blame to go around for both sides….What I want is for us to put this petty name and blame calling aside and for us all to work together as Americans. Lets look at the facts and at what is going on right hear and now. We have a president who is working harder than any other President that I have watched in my 57 years on this earth. He is working because he wants to leave this country in good shape so that his little girls will have a chance at a good life. Lets work with him, not against him. When I see media talk show hosts saying things like ‘I hope he fails’ it makes me sick. We have no time for stuff like that. If we all don’t want to end up in a homeless shelter, we had all better start working together. I am 100% disabled. I have had 36 surgeries and wear morphine patches so that I can get through the day and function at a reasonable capacity. If it weren’t for the Social security disability package that I paid into for the first 20 years of my working life, I would be homeless. I get $750 per month. Government and programs like Social Security disablilty are good things. No one should be made to feel that by accepting that help, that insurance that they paid into when they were working, that they are some sort of low life, victim mentality, entitlement seeking bum. They should be able to hold their heads up high with dignity. The trouble is that Republicans forget about everything in their own daily lives that Government has made possible for them. Such as clean air, safe medicines, our road systems, worker’s compensation if he gets hurt on the job. etc. My brother once sent me something entitled ‘A day in the life of Joe Republican’ It really opened up my eyes to the stuff that government has made possible that we depend upon every day of our lives. When we go out and eat a bacon lettuce and tomatoe sandwich, we are confident that the bacon is safe because we have a government inspected meat industry. WE have confidence that the toys made in America that our children play with are safe because we have laws that say they have to be. Go out into the country and look at a family farm. A few generations ago, the grandparents of the present owners were financed by the Farmer’s Home Administration because bankers did not want to make rural loans so our government stepped in and made it possible for rural people to grab part of the American dream of owning ones own home. We forget that the Republicans have historically fought against every benefit and protection that they depend upon and take for granted in their lives today. Unions, clean air, clean water, safety in the work place, safe medications, requiring licences that state that a person doing certain things in our lives such as pulling out out teeth or taking out our tonsils had the education and traing to be able to do so, student loans, pell grants, state funding and subsidations of Universities, special education programs for people with learning disabilities….workers comp and unemployment benefits…should I go on? I can…. The point is that a certain amount of government is good and necessary for the well being and proper running of our country and the people in it. We have got to take our fighting gloves off and quit acting like the only thing that is important is to win the next election. We have to put our working gloves on, shake hands and work together to help Obama and the people who ‘we the people’ elected …to help them created the best solutions to get us out of the mess that we are now in….It is way past the time to play the blame game if it ever was. The fact is that we are in a mess and we have to do something to change that because if we do nothing but continue to bicker it will get so much worse that I would not even like to imagine how bad it would get.

Sara, send me the information, the so called proof that Bush tried to stop this, that he even recognized what was happening and I’ll eat liver for a week and I hate liver. i’m my name at aol

I am a Libertarian not a Republican.
I said before regulation to a minimum and I also don’t have a problems with some social programs. The only president I truly voted for is Reagan.. Reagan was a Democrat turned Republican. He said that he didn’t leave his party his party left him.. I have a problem with the left leaning Democrats in Congress.. I by the way was born in Cuba and came to the US at the age of 4 Legally..!Green Card. Later I became a Citizen. Kennedy was President at the time. No Welfare for us, My father would not have taken it anyway, but yes there where jobs available.! My parents came with nothing but a suitcase. They worked there asses off and are now lower middle class and content. I know from my parents, from relatives back in Cuba, what socialism really is like, and how it starts. It doesn’t work! It isn’t working in European countries… the entitlement mentality is what starts it along with a healthy dose of envy.. No the Government doesn’t owe us squat. No one is entitled to a home or Healthcare from the Government. It is not written in the constitution. We strive to be self-sufficient and as compassionate people we establish minimal temporary assistance, using government means, because everyone of us, at one point or the other may need help. That is not what the Democratic party of today stands for…Most People need motivation to do things, if it is done for them, they will NOT try…
There is no use in debating.. we are all a product of our views based on our experiences… So … again I am one of those that says this country is already divided…Lets make it a reality..
It is late and I am one of those lucky ones ,unlike my Husband and others, who still has a Job.
Did you know that during the “Carter” years there was a lot of engineers and such driving Taxi’s.. in some states.
We need the private Sector to give us Jobs.. Not Government made Jobs with tax payers money.. I’m willing to concede at least 70% private sector and 30% Government for those with lesser skills. That isn’t going to happen. There will be quite a bit of Mexicans working our roads and building schools here in Texas though… Hey more power to them..

Bobby Jindal reminds me of that alien pawn shop owner who deals in alien weapons in the movies, “Men in Black” and “Men in Black II” The character’s name in those movies was “Jack Jeebs” (played by Tony Shaloub). He is a slimy, under the radar dirty dealer and expert at deception. And Jindal looks and acts like Jack Jeebs in “Men in Black.” After the Republicans wasted 9 trillion dollars they are hardly in a position to talk about wasteful spending. They wrote the book on it. The whole Republican Party is filled with pathetic loser types who make a profession of being obstructionist and objecting for the sake of objecting, regardless of what the majority of the American people want. Almost 70 percent of the American people approve of the job Obama is doing. So the Republicans come across as sore losers and every time I see Jindal, McConnell, B0NER and all the other Grandstanding Obstructionist Partisans open their dumb-bunny-pieholes to bi+ch about Obama,they remind me of the following old Marx Brothers song from the movie “Horsefeathers”: this song fits the GOP to a tee…._____*

A Patriot said “We tried the Bush tax cuts and we are in a recession. Looks like they don’t work. When Clinton raised taxes on the wealthiest, we had a surplus and great economy.” The Bush tax cuts didn’t cause this recession. It was the Democratic policies of “everyone should be able to own a home whether they can afford it or not” is what caused this recession. And Clinton had a surplus because of the tech bubble, NOT because he raised taxes. After the Bush tax cuts the Treasury realized a gain in taxes collected.

Was Jindal speech a joke or what!!!!!!!!!No he didn’t use KATRINA as an example of Anything, but what it was and is. The REPUBLICANS AS LEADERS AT THIS TIME FAILED HOMICIDALLY.

Jindal is positioning himself for a 2012 run for the presidency. He made a huge stink about ‘rejecting money from the stimulus package’ when he accepted 95% of the money (over 3.7 Billion) offered. He wants to reject the Unemployment help. I bet the relatives of the unemployed who have to take them in will love that. Hypocrite.

Ya gotta love Republicans yapping about “fiscal responsibility.” Reagan’s deficit was larger than the deficits that had been incurred from Washington through Carter. Bush II managed to turn Clinton’s surplus into an enormous deficit (that doesn’t even count the Iraq War).
What a bunch of hypocritical charlatans.
They’re yapping themselves into irrelevance.

OMG…if Jindal is the new face of the Republican party I am so glad I changed my party affiliation. At 60, I had been a Republican all my life…after watching the party implode under the weight of the McCain/Palin ticket I finally had had enough of the BS and complete lack of integrity that continues it seems to manifest itself. If there has been one day that I am sure that I made the right decision by voting for Barack Obama, it has been today.
Surely, the Republican party has someone left in it that makes intelligent arguments/decisions. Please come back Chuck Hagel…the party needs a life preserver and someone with a brain.

The Republican hopeful’s retort, complete with a Louisiana drawl, was boring at the least. The presentation was predictable, lacking understanding of current issues and devoid of progressive thought or ideas. Oddly enough, he reminded me of the current popular young TV evangelist. The Republicans continue to appear desperate.
