Gov. Bobby Jindal
President Obama is in New Orleans today. One wonders if, during his visit to the Crescent City, he will repeat the now infamous claim that “If you have a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Given the firestorm that erupted after that claim, it’s doubtful he will do so.
But we should not forget his words. President Obama’s comments were not a one-off gaffe. Instead, they define his administration.
This election is defined by a single choice — will we put our trust in the government or in the American people? President Obama’s comments only make explicit what we’ve always known about his philosophy. From the first days of his administration, he has turned to the power of the federal government to address the struggles we face.
When President Obama sought to address the recession that still plagues us, he turned to a nearly trillion-dollar stimulus as his answer. To his friends and campaign contributors, he directed billions of dollars that ended up in companies such as Solyndra. While Solyndra is not the only one of President Obama’s failed energy projects, it is certainly the most famous. Surveying his investment at the energy firm’s headquarters, President Obama said that companies like Solyndra would always be “the true engine of economic growth.” Of course, we now know just how wrong President Obama was. Solyndra is bankrupt, the American people are out $500 million, and 1,800 workers are out of a job.

I have no idea why government can legally spend tax-payer money to invest in private enterprise.
And, if ANYONE thinks the government can run health care better than the private sector they are simply delusional, non-tax paying, bottom feeders that know nothing but how to suck off the government teat.

Why is he wasting his time in New Orleans? Does he think he has a chance to win that state??
He’s got as much of a chance at winning Louisiana as Romney has at winning California.

Bobby J – that’s my Guv!
Death By Farts – bingo! After Obama’s incredibly feckless fucked-up fumble-fingered fascist fiasco with the Gulf Oil Spill and his subsequent “Permitorium” that has deliberately killed 150,000 high-paying jobs in the Oil & Gas industry, there are damn few people in our state that will vote for our Kenyan Communist Muslim-In-Chief.

“Why is (Obama) wasting his time in New Orleans?”
He was probably getting his freak on down at Bourbon Street in one of the many gay bars.
President On-The-Down-Low needs to slither back to Chicago….or Hawaii…..or Indonesia….or Kenya …or Wherever the fuck he came from. But he needs to go back there and stop fucking up our country.

I know this article isn’t about Bobby Jindal but as a Louisiana resident, I just wanted the rest of America to know a few things about him.
(1) According to WND.com, Jindal (and Rubio), like Barack Obama, is not constitutionally eligible to be VP. Both men’s parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of their birth.
(2) Jindal is not very well liked in Louisiana. He may have gotten reelected for a 2nd term but the other choice was a Democrat and that wasn’t happening. Louisiana’s Rush Limbaugh, Moon Griffon once loved and praised the man, but is on his ass because of broken promise after broken promise.
(3) He is NOT a friend of the Tea Party. As a board member of the Southwest Louisiana Tea Party I can tell you that he has NEVER, EVER reached out to us or allowed us to reach out to him. I also regularly communicate with other Tea Party’s and they say the same thing.
With that said, I do have something positive to say. Jindal is a literal genius. I personally witnessed him address the legislature for at least 30 minutes without a note or teleprompter. He stated facts and figures and perfectly transitioning between subject matter. It was amazing.
