Their Own Obama

Shouldn't we have a breather from election talk? we just had an election, I know there is some withdrawal but for goodness sakes...this is getting old.
and there is NO WAY the GOP elects a brown skinned guy over Palin....I dare anyone to challenge this.

I live in Louisiana and I believe that Bobby Jindal is the best thing that has happened to the state in a long time. For about 2 weeks after hurricans Gustav Bobby gve twice daiily updates on status and progress of recovery and recovery supplies for the state. His knowledge of details was astounding. He pushed through ethics reform his first few months in office. The debates over the ethics laws changes revealed many politicians felt they were part of a privilidged class. The teachers union did not back Bobby because he wanted teachers pay increases based on perfomance, not accross the board raises. The teachers are against this even though the state is having to take over poor performing schools. He is doing well for the state, but he in his wake a lot of upset people who did not want change.

As someone from the state of Louisiana, I would like the gov. to stop traveling or whatever and get to work here. In Louisiana we still do not have one single Katrina cottage built, we don't even have a plan for what one will look like if is built. The money at this rate will be given back to the US government in Aug. 2009 because it has not been used. I am hoping someone in another state can throw a hint and ask him infront of the press "When are you going to get a Katrina cottage built?". We the people of Louisiana cannot seem to get his attention on this matter.

Ok, so I don't get it. I live is southwest Louisiana and I don't understand why the Republicans are so enamored with Jindal. He's done nothing note-worthy in the state. He does like to put hiring freezes into effect which cripples workers who are in place trying to do their jobs (Yes, I am an employee of the state.) But other than these constant hiring freezes, I can't point to one thing that makes him stand out. Unless, of course, you considere his skin-color. He would be the Republicans' token 'not white person' so that they look as if they are inclusive and actually care about people. I mean, they did it to Palin. She was their token 'not white male'. Jindal would be no different. And yes, I do believe the Republican party is that slimey and will go that low. They are evil, vindictive, and corrupt and care only about money and power. They don't give a flyin' hoot about this country or the majority of the people living in it.

I think Bobby Jindal is just what the Republican Party needs. He is young, articulate, well-educated, has more politcal experience prior to his election as governor; and done a fantastic job with Louisiana during his term; compared to a one term Senator that won the Presidency, namely Barack Obama. Bobby Jindal is southern, christian, down to earth and reaches out to the minorities and youth; bespeaking the positive sides of the Republican Party. In the next four years, I think you will see other minorities taking a hard look at the "over the top" excessive liberal Democratic Party; and see that being conservative Republican only means holding values dearer to your heart. You can still be middle of the road Republican and make a positive difference in this nation. Bobby Jindal shows everyone middle of the road and conservative Republicans can come together under one banner and work together. My bet is by 2012 and definately by 2016,, the Obama facade will be worn thin and people will be more than ready to roll up their sleeves, and start looking for more accountable leadership.

Piyush "Bobby" Jindal is the "change" Louisiana has been looking for and sorely needs. He's young, intelligence, energetic, and willing to work for a better Louisiana. I think it's funny that the liberals are getting their panties in a bunch by articles comparing Jindal to Obama, as though Obama invented the word "change." Don't worry, Jindal won't steal any of Obama's thunder for another 8 years.

And, "..a lavish Southern drawl"???? Really!?!? Has the author ever actually heard the man speak?

The very thought of equating Jindal with Obama shows how shallow the GOP thought pool is right now: "Let's see; he's young, not white... YEAH - he's JUST LIKE Obama!" Our President-Elect is a very singular individual - neither the GOP or anyone else can "create" another liike him. At least for now, the American public has rejected such tired, jaded politics. Jindal may well be talented, sharp or possess any number of other laudable qualities, but he (and anyone else) will have to run on their own merits - not as a clone of somebody else.

These pukes have not done anything for their own states.Why should we hire them to work on a national level?Obama will be a complete disaster like the district in Illinois he left behind after doing nothing for the people.This country is begging for a real leader and Harvard is not a good recruitment place. Until we take the money out of politics it will be a corrupt place to bad for American democracy.
