Their base seems to think he's the best thing since sliced bread, er, make that Sarah Palin, and by all appearances, they're catering to their base. Still. <BR/><BR/>I was expecting more of Jindal, actually. I was kind of flabbergasted, watching him, thinking, what?! THIS is their great hope? I'd assumed bad speeches were over when Palin went back to Alaska, but man, Jindal was painful to watch.more cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867825812404503048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-83584006060464267062009-02-26T19:18:00.000-08:002009-02-26T19:18:00.000-08:00Booda baby..

I do believe he cares for his state,,He did NOT talk down to Obama..He did not do any "Snide" remarks..those were the things I did appreciate about him..that is all..

That. - as Jindal enters the room? I love a mic that's still on.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo - what a wonderful speech and, really, what a wonderful write up you done give it. Sometimes, I wonder why anyone else bothers. And I mean that.<BR/><BR/>I also super duper appreciate that austxgrl has plenty of room to disagree here and that you encourage it. LOVE that. And in that spirit, I'll disagree back. While Bobby spoke well enough, well enough falls short of being any kind of recommendation. You could NOT have called it better or SAID it better for that matter; he was substantively clueless and, after all, we're in an age that DEMANDS substance. Can't deliver? Then you get the schadenreude treatment.booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-31351731599582617582009-02-26T15:37:00.000-08:002009-02-26T15:37:00.000-08:00Yellerdawg- Darn..I missed that show.The comedy pr...Yellerdawg- Darn..I missed that show.<BR/>The comedy pretty much writes itself with those Republicans.<BR/><BR/>Rainey- It borders on the surreal doesn't it!<BR/>They keep going about business as usual as though they have an ounce of credibilty.<BR/>Talk about 'denial'!<BR/><BR/>Doralong- So far,Obama seems to be going after his agenda with a vengeance.<BR/>He clearly wants to work with Republicans,but with them or without them,he has his mind set on getting things done.<BR/>And no,..I haven't heard the exsorcism<BR/>story,but it sounds fun! :)Slinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156315627331213427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-87903951128081696052009-02-26T05:35:00.000-08:002009-02-26T05:35:00.000-08:00It's going to be a mighty tough time, but I actual...It's going to be a mighty tough time, but I actually do have hope the President has the guts to do what it takes and not pander to politics.

It is so fresh to have people ON BOTH SIDES speak with out yelling, name calling and with respect for each other and the general public. I do not agree with Jindal, but at least he can speak a complete sentence with both nouns and verbs,at least he thinks.austexgrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180333348264396552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-61662258665064327132009-02-25T17:22:00.000-08:002009-02-25T17:22:00.000-08:00Ooh, I love dinner posts!(Don't you know Fox will ...Ooh, I love dinner posts!<BR/><BR/>(Don't you know Fox will say Obama sucked and the republicans triumphed?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-68929213047205986712009-02-25T14:33:00.000-08:002009-02-25T14:33:00.000-08:00if those republicans had any brains huckabee and c...if those republicans had any brains huckabee and chuck norris would have handled the rebuttal.billy pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128876723713271131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-33998261492368062152009-02-25T14:00:00.000-08:002009-02-25T14:00:00.000-08:00Jindel is a rising young Republican star I'm told....Jindel is a rising young Republican star I'm told.
