Their Own Obama

What are u smoking Bobby Charles1? No one needs to report "the truth" about Sarah Palin, its plain to see in her interviews: She is a complete idiot. Her foreign policy experience is based on Alaska's proximity to Russia!!! I would love to see a female president of the United States, but not that female. If she EVER wins the presidency, I will move to Canada!!!

I will be inclined to take your bigoted dismissal of Southerners and Republicans as uniquely guilty of the stain of bigotry and racism seriously when the senior democrat in the US Senate is no longer a former Klan leader, and the Democrats in the NE and Midwest quit race-baiting their way into office.

I have been very leery of the Southern leadership. I am tired of them having an overeaching control of the US Government. The so-called 'reconstructed south' has never shown me a serious intent of accepting equality of races.either socially or politically. As a Californian in the military, I was sent to Biloxi, MS in 1953 and viewed first hand the ignorance of raciall bigotry. I have not seen much of a change in political emphasis since then (Neocons, Blue Dog Democrats, etc.). Their strive for political office has always been rife with reassuring the bigoted community. Until the Republicans rid themselves of the stain of bigotry and racism, they will always be a detriment the ideals of this country.

My first reaction was who is MSNBC trying to put forth as their choice for the Republican candidate as they lean so far to the left I wonder what propaganda was and why. I know nothing of him for the most part and see he has little experience but good work ethic.

My next thought is this is what MSNBC use against Palin -- she was only a Governor and had no experience ---what in the world do these people smoke.

Maybe if he is worth his salt and a Real Conservative , the he can be Sarah Palins running mate.... She is the real deal that is why the media hates her and can't report the truth about her.

Just my observation - I'm sure any liberal leftist radical will in some twisted way somehow try to justify otherwise.

Bobby Charles 1 - Texas

Four, eight and twelve years are way too far from now to wonder if Gov. Jindal is the salvation of the Republican Party. Anything can happen between now and then. This doesn't mean we shouldn't keep our eyes on him for good or bad.

Bobby Jindal is very accomplished, but I don't think he has the public appeal of a Barack Obama. The GOP has produced some very viable candidates (think J.C. Watts, Colin Powell, etc.) but none that have made it to a primary, either by choice or by circumstance.

The key to Obama's victory wasn't necessarily just being a minority, but rather presenting an image that many Americans can easily relate to, which generates enthusiasm. That's where candidates like Bobby Jindal and Michael Steele have somewhat fallen short, despite their track record and credentials.

I think he sounds like a pretty cool guy. I'd like to meet him. I'd like to meet Obama too for that matter. I think it'll take a little more time before any real judgment can be passed down about his governorship. He seems intelligent and capable. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders and stands for what he believes. So, let's see what he does. If LA flourishes, maybe this guy knows what he's doing. If it flounders, maybe he doesn't. There is so much complexity that goes into running this machine we call a country, state, or even a city that one man can't be the entire problem or solution even if he has a large role in it now. We elect these leaders and they have the gumption to take on these roles. We as citizens have the responsibility to do our part in making this country run as smoothly as it can. Your role is not less important than mine or his. We manage our lives and the responsibilities in it, he does the same. If he does it poorly things will not go well. If we do things poorly, they will not go well. I think this country has forgotten the fact that what we do each day affects the lives of those around us, regardless of position or rank. I think its something we need to do a better job of remembering.

Big Fella my friend I know Roman Catholics, Hindus and Conservatives alike, Jindal is none of the above. Also you are the moron, as you are incapable of argument only hurling insults.

sounds like the GOP should have ran him instead of McCain, or McCain pick him for VP he would have had a better chance if they had.

The artical says left and right alike say Jinddal claims more credit than he deserves. The only thing ex gov Dukakas ever said that I agree with is that his father always said the fish rots from the head down. Well, they may not give Jindal credit for things done correctly but I bet they would give him credit for things that failed. And to "Buckley" the ignorant are always fearful of things they don't understand. "Moron"

I think the issue is not about faith but opportunistically assuming another faith that you were not raised with to advance your political agenda.
