Jindal is a breath of fresh air for Louisiana. He is very intelligent, practical, and a true conservative. He is doing a great job. This country would be very lucky to have him as president but I hope he stays here.

The insulting of Jindal is an interesting move because while Democrats can’t recklessly spend our tax dollars fast enough, they fear/loath Jindal because he SOUNDS LIKE AN AMERICAN and may have the right mentality & game plan for turning the economy back around. Uh oh, OB may be usurped. Jindal is now a viable contender against The One – it signifies the beginning of their over-reaching to discredit Jindal. Soon, some bitter, overzealous Dem commentator will stupidly and hatefully pull an over-the-top “Imus” against East Indians or Jindal. They just can’t help themselves because the vast majority of them are fire-breathing closet racists.

Jindal was a breath of fresh air, devoid of puffery or pomposity. Just an honorable man who embraces the greatness of America. In America, we CAN do anything… without government meddling or mandates.

I’ve not ever seen Jindal before this speech, and I have more respect and faith in him from just one speech than I do of our president-elect and his tiresome overexposure in the media spotlight.

The potshots at his “Simple” way of talking and his “simple” stories was just.. bizarre.. to me. I liked his clarity and I think his example story expressed exactly the idea he meant to express.

Sometimes I wonder if these folks on television are seeing and hearing the same things I see and hear.

Thanks for sticking up for Mr. Jindal, Michelle. You Rock!

We are D O N E if we can’t find someone with some STYLE!

I’d like to know why Gov. Palin wasn’t the Republican answering, got an idea, RNC still run by the Bush’s, Country Club Repubs what ever you want to call them. Palin got McShame even and even a few % points ahead in the race until he decides to close the campaign and fix the economy, the dufus. I have alot of questions about the renewed RNC.

I think there should have been a lot more passion and outrage,but it’s like all the Republicans are afraid to touch Obama.

I agree but Jindal had to be very careful about what he said. It was the content of his speech that lacked not so much his delivery. He had to hold back because of Obama worship. When Peolosi, Reed, Webb et al did their Bush rebuttals , they were mean, nasty & hard hitting. But they could afford to be because they had the MSM backing them up.

Jindal had to be careful to not appear to be obstructionist and anti Obama because of the widespread adulation of Obama. People don’t like it when you cut their main dude to the quick. You are cutting them as well and they will build a barrier to that response.

He made some good points about Republican values. I wanted to see him hit harder, such as on the no earmarks b.s. that Obama keeps spewing. Depends on your definition of “is”. I would also like to see a counter of the comment that Dems love about inheriting Bushs recession. Bush inherited Clintons recession and didn’t whine about it like a little baby. Also the 8 years of failed policies line. Bush did pretty good for coming into a recession, fighting wars, facing MAJOR natural disasters, and fighting off the MSM and the Democratic haters all the while. In fact, the ecomomy only tanked after Democrats took control of Congress for the last 2 years and Democratic control was forecast for all 3 branches of Government. Maybe people know something.

Anyway, he did not want to appear to be the realist or antagonist at this particular time. He was walking on eggshells. Hopefully, we will bring out the big guns soon though. The Dems have given us a lot of ammunition. Baby steps.
