Bobby Jindal hammers Barack Obama in new book

I'll bet money DisneyDude worshipped Clinton. Did anyone hear Clinton's speech to the 1988 DNC. you could have gone through a colonoscopy without any discomfort after hearing that snoozer

Actually...if you want to know the truth. I was not a Clinton supporter. He was not even one of my picks in 92. However, he won me over. He was way to moderate for my tastes and I disagreed with him on NAFTA, but all in all he was one of the better Presidents in my lifetime.

I would agree he was a better president than LBJ, Carter and now Obama.
 
Yet another example of what I was speaking about. I don't care who he was, or what he did... but as you PERFECTLY ILLUSTRATE, you know more about Joe-the -Plumber than what Joe-the -Plumber accomplished.

And what did he do? Joe-the-Plumber did the job the press failed to do. He asked a simple question, and let Obama run his mounth for minutes... until he eventually spat out his "spread the wealth around" plan. ObaMarxonomics 101. THEN the Journolists descended on Joe-the-Plumber.

Why the interest in a guy that asked a question of a candidate? It was a smoke screen to hide a statement that would usually sink a candidate.

Again... you illustrated my point to perfection. Amazing you didn't see the mile wide trap, but I'd bet good money you didn't know what Joe-the-Plumber accmplished and why he was a target. Just think of it... he gives Obama rope, Obama hangs himself... and the Journolists go after a private citizen asking a question of a presidential candidate. Truly, truly bizarre.

And I thank you.

PS. He's not a hero, only an American guy concerned about his country guy that did a job the Journolists failed to do, vet the candidate... because they're Journolists... Cheerleaders... Protectors.

Oh my Gawd. I'm not sure I'd heard the whole thing. I really believe if that would have been played over and over in the news, he never would have been elected. Very frightening for anyone who would like to earn a better than average income in the future. He sure was showing his true colors there.
 
Joe let Obama run his mouth and basically shoot himself, and in any normal election he would have been seriously damaged "spread-the-wealth around" comment. Instead the press turned on Joe-the-Plumber.

.

That really was a telling incident in the Obama campaign/election run (not that there weren't countless others). A politician makes a very controversial live statement at a campaign stop, and the press absolutely pounces to discredit the person who asked the question.

Morbidly fascinating. Obama had them totally mesmerized....

A lot of Obama's comments should have destroyed his campaign. But the media saved him and ignored major forms of criticism. Instead they pushed the anti-Bush message and tried to paint all Republicans like a 3rd Bush term (while completely ignoring that Bush had to deal with a Dem House and Senate). Obama's "guns and religion" comment should have destroyed him too.

I have never seen so much bias in the press compared to their support of Obama
 
Right. You never attack the messenger do you?

When "potato" excites the press to slaughter a candidate, and when they took Bush 41's scanner comments totally out of context to try and show he was out of touch, let's see what the press missed with The One.

Any of the following comments and actions would have sunk a mere mortal. But, Journolists and their creation of cult duped the American public... and McCain was too lame to force their hand.

These show who Obama is... aren't minor bits twisted out of context either.
Drum Roll...

1. Spread-the-wealth around.

2. Bitter Clingers.

3. Working on education with anti-American Terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and starting his political career from their casa.

4. 20-years of inhaling toxic waste from the racist anti-American Reverend Wright, his mentor.

5. Hiring Jim Johnston from Countrywide after railing about financial institutions.

6. About Kansas “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” Actual number of dead: 12.

7.“Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.”

8. “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

9. “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

Obama only voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.

10. (Iran doesn’t) “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm.

Notice his 57-states comment isn't in the Top 10?

Geraldine Ferraro nailed why he was still in the race. She was 100% on target, and the Journolists did their best to destroy her.

I am shocked that Eurosocialists are so concerned about the governor of one of our states. I guess being residents of satellite nations causes some to be overly apprehensive about American leaders

Take a couple aspirin. But don't use them all up. You will need more. Many more.
 
They don't.....LOL.

Do results ever matter to someone like you? Any idea what Obama's approval ratings are in Louisiana vs. Jindal's? Did you see the election results on November 2? Those were results not rhetoric driven. Obama gives a great speech but results, not words matter.

I think liberals-who tend to be more emotionally driven than rational-are more impressed by people who give flowery speeches because that appeals to emotion rather than logic. Obama appeals to such individuals because saying something well that means nothing counts more to them than actually doing something that counts

No question about it, I believe Jindal has an approval rating that is close to double that of Obama's in Louisiana.

Not a bit self serving was it? ;)

Oh please...spare me. First off....I would be shocked if Jindal didn't get better ratings in LA than Obama...its a red state....DOH...and Jindal is the home town boy. Good luck getting that from the rest of the country.
Second....have you looked at any of the exit polls? The election results had very little to do with Obama and/or his policies. It was economy driven...that's it.
People weren't voting in favor of Republicans...they were voting for a change in hopes that the economy might pick up.

Seriously....you guys should run Palin and Jindal. That would be EXCELLENT for the GOP. I'd even contribute.

The exit polls that I saw showed over 50% of voters saying that Obama's policies were at least part of the reason that the economy has not recovered, with more actually saying those policies had done more harm than good than said the opposite. This election was a huge repudiation of Obama.

Of course, Obama and Pelosi think its just a communication problem ......... hey, add up these numbers 65 + 6 + 7 + 680 ...... that's not communication math !!!

You really do live in a dream world where rhetoric trumps reality. What makes a "red state" red? Policy. I am pretty sure that if the Republicans ran "Dilbert" in 2012 against this empty suit he would win. You voted for the least experienced individual running for office as President and are getting the results that represent that resume. Qualifications for being President doesn't matter in the liberal world as you prefer a good speech over good policy.

I did indeed look at the exit polls which of course you claim you did but didn't. Obama policies have generated the results we have today, 4 million more unemployed than when Obama took office and more unemployed each month of 2010 vs. in 2009 when the recession ended, and 3 trillion added to the debt. My bet is you like Obama because he has created an economy that you are familiar with in California, massive unemployment, high debt, and massive expansion of govt., and people leaving the state in droves. Congratulations you got the hope and change that led to a shellacking on Nov. 2 and one that gives Jindal a better chance today than he had before Obama took office. Maybe you ought to find out the difference between what a Governor does than a Community Organizer. If you had, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess today as Obama wouldn't be in office.

Not sure what makes a "red state red". But here in Illinois we have a pretty good idea what make a "blue state blue".

We call it the Chicago Machine..... ;)

I grew up in the Midwest and have a complete understanding of the "Chicago Machine" which rivals some of the worst in the world when it comes to dirty tricks and raising the dead to vote. It is frustrating although the people of TX are recepients of that machine as businesses and people keep moving to TX because of the high taxes in Illinois. Caterpillar moved a divison here last year and announced another moving here this year. People just don't get it but good state Governors do, lower taxes draw business and individuals to the state and that increases state revenue.
 
I don't think Mr. Rogers "hammers" anyone.
