Sorry, my bad.
What I meant to say, after seeing Jindal's speech is that, undoubtedly, the GOP is going after the effeminate Barney Fife crowd.

Wrong, he's paying mortgages for people who overextended themselves. But at least it's more than Bush ever did to stem the bleeding except approve billions to Wall Street with no limits (e.g. CEO bonus caps, transparency). And we're only 30ish days into O's presidency.

Welcome to the outside view of our Louisana Governor Bobby Jindal.
I don't for the life of me understand how this fool was elected here in the first place.
It takes on the atmoshpere of a 'Perfect Storm' where he was the one left standing after Governor Blanco decided she had enough
of the GOP attacks on what she had done with their constant obstruction after Hurricane Katrina, and Jefferson went down
in layered primaries designed to streach out any legal action for over 2 years, and get the GOP machine to discredit everyone else.
He has decimated the helth care policies for eldery and children in the state, taken credit for Democrat policies that were working
before he came in, claimed to have reduced State spending, when all he did was refuse Federal grant money,
and claimed to have reduced state jobs, while in fact adding 3000+ jobs for GOP backers at over $ 100,00 salaries.
This fool is the 'Great White Hope' in the Land of the Klan?

Jindal came off like a condescending jackass. His stupid little stories merely sealed the deal. While I agree that Americans are a great industrious people, the concept that "Americans can do anything" comes across like an empty campaign slogan that doesn't begin to make sense within the current economic context. The public at-large is going to fix our broken banking system and restart lending? The people are going to fix unemployment? The people are going to reduce the deficit? Is Jindal high? Or just delusional? The American people as a whole can do a lot of things, but there are some problems that are greater than us all.

What does it say about the obstructionists GOP leaders when all they can focus on is tired rhetoric (Government is the problem, spend spend librals blah blah blah) that quite frankly the majority of the voting public tuned out back on November 4th?
I would have been more impressed with Piyush's speech if he would have started out with the comments he made about earning back America's trust:
our party got away from its principles. You elected Republicans to champion limited government, fiscal discipline and personal responsibility. Instead, Republicans went along with earmarks and big government spending in Washington. Republicans lost your trust -- and rightly so.
Tonight, on behalf of our leaders in Congress and my fellow Republican governors, I say this: Our party is determined to regain your trust. We will do so by standing up for the principles that we share, the principles you elected us to fight for, the principles that built this into the greatest, most prosperous country on earth.
Those are words I can appreciate. Unfortunately he stuck this part of his speech behind all of the obstructionist rhetoric. Makes me wonder if it was simply a half-hearted apology. More lip service by the GOP. pfft....
edit: and I'm just curious after listening to Jindal last night I wonder what he thinks about all the money being spent on the infrastructure and rebuilding of Iraq?

Bobby Jindal should explain Louisiana's economic status first
I have no idea why he was chosen to represent the GOP. That guy has made a mess of his state (like GWB) trading surplus for tax cuts instead of investing it or at least saving it. Now that the price of oil has dropped , he faces something like a $2B deficit.
Did he seriously mock volcano monitoring???
I shut his patronizing talk off when he threw out that story about the sheriff and the boats (I call apocryphal Republican bullshit! - I want to see some documentation). He really, truly bitched about spending "$140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring.' Instead of monitoring volcanoes, what Congress should be monitoring"...blah blah blah are you serious? And you're really the Governor of...Louisi-fucking-ana?
Yeah, watching volcanoes, that's retarded, Almost as stupid as looking out for, I don't know, hurricanes or something. To mock volcano monitoring is just pig-ignorant. For the Governor of, I still can't believe it, Louisiana to do so is so utterly, dementedly dense it defies description.
That was the first time I ever heard him speak. He sounded like a broken record and his persona was, just poor. If that is the future of the republican party, well they have a lot of work to do. If the Republicans start losing the David Brooks of the world for good,. Brooks described Jindal's speech as nihilistic and insane. He seemed genuinely stunned by the weakness of the response and the utter lack of Republican ideas going forward.

lol, they are caught between a rock and a hard place b/c the message is bs and everyone knows it (msg being republicans = fiscally conservative watchdogs). if they put up an intelligent guy like this dude, he will do well in interviews but speeches sound horrible b/c he knows what he is saying is crap. if they put up a dumb person like Palin, speeches will be better b/c they actually believe it but will fail in interviews b/c then they have to demonstrate it through examples.

wow, I just found the irony in lamblasting the government for wanting to spend $140 million on Volcano Monitoring and in the next breath lamblasting the government for failing to assist Louisana after Hurricane Katrina. Thanks BMW540I6speed! that brought a wide grin to my face!!
damn....Bobby Jindal was a mess last night.
LOL, I forgot about the Volcano part. What a fricking joke.
Why don't we cut off all hurricane monitoring for LA and create an information blackout for them. Then, when it hits, they've got nothing to bitch about.
We should also cut-off all FEMA aid and all federal assistance at all agencies in the event of another Katrina-level event in LA, because, as Bobby sez, a few rednecks with fanboats can rescue everyone with no bureaucratic impediments!
Did the body snatchers get hold of him or what?
Compared to how he sounded last Sundy morning on Meet the Press it's like there is two different versions of him; smooth and polished and gee golly down on the farm.

I just watched it. Personally I could have used a bit more condescension and a few more right hand gestures. Also he should have ended with "and everybody lived happily ever after"
Between this joke of a speech, all the fucking shootings along the parade route and Bourbon St (RIGHT BEHIND THE FUCKING DO-NOTHING POLICE CHIEF), and our idiot egomaniacal mayor parading around on a horse dressed like an extra from a 70s gay porno, yesterday was officially my crappiest Mardi Gras day in recent memory. Oh and Antoinette K-Doe died too.

Hey, Bobby Jindal - you've just given the most pathetic response speech in American Political History, now what are you going to do?
